Using up my last bricks so I made a dock scene

I've taken a lot of self-portraits over the years. Anytime I want to test out a new product, to see what it can do, I usually use myself as the test subject.

 

This self-portrait is no different. However, the products being put through the ringer actually made the self-portrait significantly easier to create.

 

The two products? DSLR Controller and the TP-LINK TL-MR3040 3G/4G Wireless N150 Battery Powered Portable Router.

 

Several months ago I purchased the TP-Link portable router with the intent of converting it into a CamRanger clone. Unfortunately, that proved more than a little difficult.

 

However, I recently found out that you can load a custom firmware onto the TP-Link portable router to make it compatible with DSLR Controller (software that I already owned).

 

The combination allows me to see the camera's live view video stream, adjust exposure values, change focus points, and trip the shutter all from my Google Nexus 7 tablet. It's utterly brilliant!

 

Now I can compose the shot with the perfect framing, adjust the focus points for proper focus, trigger the camera and even see the resulting image without ever moving from my spot in front of the camera.

 

It really is a great solution...and exactly what I wanted to do when I bought the TP-Link portable router in the first place.

 

strobist: 1 Canon 580EX, camera right, diffused by a gridded 24" Lastolite Ezybox. 1 Canon 580EX, camera left slightly behind subject, flagged (to prevent light on the background), used to create rim/back light. 1 580EX, slightly camera left (in front of subject), bounced off a large white reflector to add a touch of fill light to the image. Flashes triggered via PocketWizard PlusX transceivers and an optical slave.

 

Check out the Lighting Diagram.

 

Update: I posted a news piece on the DSLR Controller + TP-Link Wireless Router setup on The-Digital-Picture (<-- click link to see article).

Le gambe tagliate. Questa specie di patina che anche in post-produzione non viene via. I colori del cielo un po' strani.

Mille imperfezioni eppure mi piace un sacco così! Sembra quasi una specie di analogico!

 

Mi sono trattenuta dal fare miliardi di foto inutili. Poche ma buone!

Più avanti, forse -se riesco-, produrrò qualcosa di DIVERSO dal solito in merito a questo week end. :D

Not sure about this but will post for a few days and see the reaction.

When I was younger I used to be a closet girl, so I only dressed up secretly and with the curtains closed. That changed for the better and nowadays I'm an outgoing girl, and when I'm feminine I don't close any curtains anymore. My neighbors live quite close to me though and they may see me through the window. I don't mind that at all and if they spot me then they're welcome to do so. In fact in one of the houses that you see from the window next to me there's always a young man working with his computer in front of the window. I'm not sure what he is doing but he's always there; I think he's into gaming or so. Or maybe he is looking at me through the window, and simultaneously at Paula Satijn on Flickr in order to get a better close-up view 😄

No Vale da Ferradura, a convivência harmônica com a natureza é um espetáculo à parte. Curta o vento, o sol, as belas vistas, um banho de cachoeira, os animais!

Aqui você encontra animais como quati, macaco-prego, bugio-ruivo, serelepe, cutia, gambá, mão-pelada, veado-mateiro, graxaim e muitos roedores. E também grande variedade de aves de extrema beleza e raridade.

Muitos deles possuem um contato próximo com os seres humanos, como é o caso, principalmente, dos quatis, e em geral você pode observá-los de perto na área principal do Vale da Ferradura, mesmo sem fazer as trilhas.

Os quatis, em grande quantidade no Vale da Ferradura, são mamíferos que se alimentam de minhocas, insetos e frutas, apreciando também ovos, legumes e especialmente lagartos. Dormem no alto das árvores, enrolados como uma bola, e não descem antes do amanhecer. Seu órgão mais sensível com certeza é seu nariz, que é móvel e muito alongado. Possui dentes e garras fortes.

O parque Vale da Ferradura está localizado ao norte do município de Canela RS, na região correspondente às coordenadas 29°16' S - 50°50' W, compreendendo um total de aproximadamente 200 ha, com altitudes que variam de 400 m a 750 m.

Fica no Planalto das Araucárias, popularmente designado como "Serra Gaúcha". Os elementos que compõem a sua flora são típicos da Floresta Ombrófila Mista Montana e da Floresta Estacional Semidecidual Montana, com áreas de transição entre as mesmas e com diversos estágios de sucessão.

A área do parque faz parte da bacia hidrográfica do rio Caí. Nesta bacia, existem 11 Unidades de Conservação municipais e/ou particulares, duas estaduais - Parque Estadual do Delta do Jacuí e Parque Estadual do Caracol - e uma Federal - Floresta Nacional de Canela.

O clima da região é superúmido, com as curvas ombrométricas das estações meteorológicas sempre positivas. Há ocorrência de três ou mais meses com temperaturas médias compensadas mensais abaixo de 15°C, que ocasionam a chamada seca fisiológica das plantas tropicais, criadora da estacionalidade.

O Vale da Ferradura possui variados micro-habitats, com áreas mais expostas a incidência solar, aos ventos e sujeitas a interferência humana, bem como áreas totalmente protegidas, sombreadas, úmidas e sujeitas a inundações periódicas. A preservação destes remanescentes aliada à atividade de educação ambiental ao mesmo tempo que ao ócio, como forma de lazer recreativo, é extremamente importante.O parque é cortado por quatro trilhas, que apresentam características peculiares: trilha do Rio Caí, trilha do Pórtico, trilha das Cutias e trilha das Pinguelas.

Outras Informações:

 

O parque Vale da Ferradura, localizado a 13 km do centro de Canela, proporciona ao turista integração com a natureza, com mirantes para o deslumbrante Vale da Ferradura, para a Cascata do Arroio do Caçador e Rio Santa Cruz. Uma área especial para toda família com trilhas e estrutura de churrasqueira, playground e lanchonete.

No alto do canyon de 420 metros de extensão está localizado o Vale da Ferradura - onde o Rio Santa Cruz forma a ferradura que dá nome ao lugar. A vista privilegiada da cascata do Arroio Caçador, o verde e o ar puro são complementos perfeitos para as 4 trilhas, os 3 mirantes e a estrutura de 8 churrasqueiras, playground e lanchonete, numa área total de aproximadamente 200 hectares.

A área do parque faz parte da bacia hidrográfica do rio Caí. Nesta bacia, existem 11 Unidades de Conservação municipais e/ou particulares, duas estaduais - Parque Estadual do Delta do Jacuí e Parque Estadual do Caracol - e uma federal - Floresta Nacional de Canela.

A preservação destes remanescentes aliada à atividade de educação ambiental ao mesmo tempo que ao ócio, como forma de lazer recreativo, é extremamente importante.

As árvores de –Araucária, que produzem os delicioso pinhão são a maioria no parque e atraem animais silvestres como o Quati, a Cutia, o Macaco-prego e a Gralha-azul, importante para a multiplicação das árvores.

MIRANTES

• Mirante Vale da Ferradura

É o principal mirante do Vale da Ferradura. Dele você aprecia a vista da Cascata do Arroio Caçador e tem uma visão geral.

• Mirante do Vale do Arroio Caçador

Proporciona uma vista impressionante do vale do Arroio Caçador. O acesso é por uma trilha leve - cerca de 2 minutos.

• Mirante da Cascata do Arroio Caçador

Proporciona uma vista impressionante da cascata do Arroio Caçador. Aqui você desce 50 metros e a trilha é um pouco mais íngreme.

TRILHAS

• Trilha do Rio Caí

São 350 metros de trilha, iniciando a 750 metros altura e terminando a 400 metros altura, no ponto em que o arroio Caçador deságua no Rio Caí. É a principal trilha do parque, com maior nível de dificuldade, pelo declive do terreno. Você vai levar 60 minutos para descer, e 2 horas para subir.

Como a trilha do Rio Caí pode ser dividida em quatro trechos, você não precisa fazê-la inteira. Confira os trechos:

- O primeiro leva a dois mirantes, localizados a 700 metros de altura e de onde se tem uma belíssima vista da cascata do arroio Caçador.

- O segundo trecho vai de 700 até 550 metros de altura e é o de maior extensão e menor dificuldade.

- O terceiro trecho inicia a 550 metros de altura, ponto onde as trilhas do Rio Caí e do Pórtico se encontram, e termina a 450 metros de altura, no leito do arroio Caçador, acima da queda d’água.

- O quarto e último trecho vai de 450 a 400 metros altura e é o de maior dificuldade, pois o declive é acentuado e as condições de umidade são elevadas. Interessante é que parte deste trecho está sujeita a borrifos d’água, porque acompanha a queda da cascata. Ele termina no pé da cascata do arroio Caçador e às margens do Rio Caí, em uma área plana, local para um descanso merecido.

• Trilha do Pórtico

A trilha do Pórtico tem 200 metros, iniciando a 750 metros de altura e terminando a 550 metros de altura, onde se encontra com a trilha do Rio Caí. Nela existe um recanto conhecido como Cascata do Graxaim, e podem ser admiradas araucárias e xaxins.

• Trilha das Cotias

É uma bela trilha, com muita sombra, sem esforço físico, para todas as idades e condicionamentos físicos. Dá para dizer que, mais que uma trilha, é um passeio em meio à natureza. Encontra-se na faixa entre 700 e 750 metros de altura, no platô do parque, acima da trilha do Pórtico. Aprecie a bela paisagem de cactus e bromélias na área mais rochosa.

• Trilha das Pinguelas

Também está entre 700 e 750 metros de altura, porém voltada para a bela vista do Vale da Ferradura. A trilha das Pinguelas acompanha um pequeno arroio e você aproveita a sombra da copa das árvores.

Localização e informações gerais

O parque Vale da Ferradura fica na Serra Gaúcha, em Canela RS, a 13 km do centro, no Km 6 da RS 466, mais conhecida como Estrada do Caracol. Funciona das 8h30 às 17h30. No verão, quando o sol se põe bastante tarde na Região Sul, este horário pode ser estendido.

Para chegar, pegue a Estrada do Caracol, que está localizada logo ao chegar a Canela, vindo de Gramado, e vá sempre por essa via, seguindo as placas. Após o Parque do Caracol, a estrada é de terra, por alguns quilômetros.

The gentle worker: Bumblebee - After a season of abundant North Aegean rains, the lavender flowers in our garden bloomed with exceptional beauty and attracted many bumblebees.

 

With my Nikon Z8 and 105mm macro lens, I spent a quiet moment observing one of these tiny visitors as it held onto the lavender flower and collected nectar. Capturing the details of its eyes, body, and delicate movements reminded me once again that nature’s greatest stories are often hidden in the smallest moments.

 

Shot in natural light during the late afternoon, this image is a celebration of patience, observation, and the wonderful connection between flowers and pollinators.

 

After an unusually generous season of rainfall in the North Aegean region of Türkiye, the lavender flowers in our garden bloomed with remarkable abundance. This year, I noticed a significant increase in bumblebee activity, with many visitors constantly moving among the flowers.

 

With my Nikon Z8 and 105mm macro lens, I spent a quiet moment observing one of these wonderful pollinators as it held onto the lavender flower while collecting nectar.

 

Every season writes its own story in nature. Weather patterns, flowering cycles, and local conditions can create remarkable differences from one year to another. This image is not only a close look at a bumblebee, but also a small record of the changing rhythms of our garden ecosystem.

Lloyd's London Architecture

 

One of the most futuristic buildings with the Inside-Out design, Lloyd's of London looks like something out of a Blade Runner movie...The building transforms itself at night when the lights illuminate the striking lifts and staircases...

  

The Lloyd's building (also sometimes known as the Inside-Out Building)[1] is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London, and is located at 1, Lime Street, in the City of London, England.

It was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986. Bovis was the management contractor for the scheme.[2] Like the Pompidou Centre (designed by Renzo Piano and Rogers), the building was innovative in having its services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power conduits and water pipes on the outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside. The twelve glass lifts were the first of their kind in the UK. It is important to note that (like the Pompidou Centre) this building was highly influenced by the work of Archigram in the 1950s and 1960s (see Plug-in City by Archigram for an example).

The building consists of three main towers and three service towers around a central, rectangular space. Its focal point is the large Underwriting Room on the ground floor, which houses the famous Lutine Bell. The Underwriting Room (often simply known as the Room) is overlooked by galleries, forming a 60 metres (197 ft) high atrium lit naturally through a huge barrel-vaulted glass roof. The first four galleries open onto the atrium space, and are connected by escalators through the middle of the structure. The higher floors are glassed-in, and can only be reached via the outside lifts.

 

The Lloyd's building is 88 metres (289 ft) to the roof, with 14 floors.[3] On top of each service core stand the cleaning cranes pushing the height to 95.10 metres (312 ft). Modular in plan, each floor can be altered with the addition or removal of partitions and walls.
