na, jetzt wird es klarer, was ich letztens fotografiert habe, oder? Nur habe ich beim vorherigen Bild noch paralleler zum Boden fotografiert und die Blase war kurz vorm Platzen. Deshalb war sie so farblos. Diese hier hingegen ist noch in ihrer vollen Pracht und spiegelt in ihrem kurzen Leben eine Farbe nach der anderen.
Wenn ihr die Gelegenheit habt, beobachtet mal eine Seifenblase, wie sich die Farben und Strukturen verändern, während ihre Haut dünner und dünner wird, bis sie schließlich platzt. Es ist wirklich faszinierend.
Wie ich euch kenne, wird der eine oder andere da schon öfters fasziniert davor gesessen haben ;o)
Ich wünsche euch einen schönen Sonntag.

Once upon a time if you mentioned the word scooter it meant one of these. One of the riders who passed thru' town today, pictured at the top of Corn St
Olympus OM-1; ILFORD FP4Plus, 125ISO; ILFOSOL3 (4'15''); Tetenal Superfix (7'); Tetenal Mirasol (1').
These children had fun playing with their toy canoe.
Taken just off Kitava Island, where crystal blue waters wash the white sandy beaches.
May the image of these children remind us all that the world we are creating is also for the younger generation.
May they continue to enjoy each day.

Thanks crow-fans everywhere.
Shot during my "welcome diversion" - a shot taken on the fence due to lack of tripod. I love the sharp sunlight on the tree and the two crows (lovers).
8th Aug 2008 - just tipped 1000 views, thanks very much to everyone

I've created a new set gathering all my Trees & Light shots together - take a moment to browse. No, take several with a coffee & chocolate.
Copyright © 2015 Phil Dodd, All Rights Reserved. A shot from last years archives, as I had my Canon 40D converted to take Infrared photographs. I'm looking forward to using it more as this year progresses. With the foliage already starting to appear on some of the trees, it's time to dust the camera off ready for use !
Thanks for looking and / or commenting...
Best Regards,
Phil.
Two Masai boys outside a hut in their village in Kenya. The colour red is worn to represent power, and accessories and body ornaments are be worn to reflect their identity and status in society.
Amtrak train #43, the westbound Pennsylvanian, with a P42 and P40 both wearing the "Phase IV" paint scheme, passes the position-light intermedia signals at MP 93.8 east of Hudson in April 2001. This train had two MHCs, five passenger cars, two express boxcars, and 15 Roadrailers on the rear.
Back from a lovely week on the Scottish Isle of Bute... slowly catching up. ps this was taken a few months ago!

San Francisco, CA
After dinner with friends in Alameda, I cruised aross the Bay Bridge towards San Francisco with camera at my side...and occasionally resting on the steering wheel.

The view of the NYC area from Liberty State Park is about as perfect as can be on a clear day, and I was excited that the weather was this good driving through. Jersey City's skyline provides a nice balance to the massive collection of skyscrapers in NYC from this point.
An Arriva Voyager is seen on the High Level Bridge across the river Tyne at Newcastle whilst a Tyne and Wear Metro train also crosses the Tyne on the QE2 Bridge in the foreground.
Two species of fireflies in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The yellowish lights are synchronous fireflies (Photinus carolinus). The long, meandering green streaks are blue ghost fireflies (Phausis reticulata). These don't blink, but instead leave their lights on for up to a minute as they fly above the forest floor. Now, I know what you're thinking: Why are they called blue ghosts if they're green? I can say that they did look bluish-white to my eyes as they flew around; the camera, however, sees them as, well... lime lights. I assumed at first that it was like photographing auroras - perhaps the camera sensor can pick up color wavelengths to which our eyes are less sensitive. But after doing some reading, it's a bit more nuanced than that. It's due to the "Purkinje effect." As part of our eyes' adaptation to seeing in dim light, they shift their luminance sensitivity toward the blue end of the spectrum. Anything around those wavelengths is more visible, whereas colors toward the red end become dim or black. The camera doesn't have this night vision color shift, so it records all the wavelengths with the same sensitivity. Apparently if I had caught a blue ghost in my hand, and held it close to my eyes, the brightness would have overwhelmed my night vision and I, too, would have seen the light as yellow-green.
