Six shot blend using EnfuseGUI2.1

SB600 through STU located CL on landing on other side of piano.

 

Couple of things about this shoot: When I asked which way the front of the house faced in order to determine the best time to schedule the shoot, I was told they wanted to do it in the late afternoon because the light coming through the trees was so pretty. It was. The inside of the home was like a cave.

 

This leads us to the light bulb situation. Not only were they the new style bulbs, some of them were putting out a real orange hue while others were opting for something in a strong rose color - almost like beauty bulbs you'd get for the bathroom. Add in some daylight, add in some flash - youv'e got yourself a nightmare.

 

I ended up doing all sorts of hand blending. Jeri Koegel would have been proud

 

I'm finally going to break down and purchase a stash of low watt bulbs and some dimmers - it would have taken less time to use them than all the post processing that was required.

 

One more thing that was a first - the home is owned by an elderly couple. The husband was out running errands and comes home in the middle of the shoot, makes some small talk and then goes down the hall to the master bedroom, plops down on the bed and is soon fast asleep. Problem was we had not gotten to that end of the house yet. Wife had to wake him up and move him down the hall to the guest room just after we shot it.

O girassol (Helianthus annuus) é uma planta anual da família das Asteraceae.

Descrição

É caracterizada por possuir grandes inflorescências do tipo capítulo - com aproximadamente 30 cm de diâmetro - cujo caule pode atingir até 3 metros de altura e apresenta filotaxia do tipo oposta cruzada, notável por "olhar" para o Sol, comportamento vegetal conhecido como heliotropismo.

História

Os girassóis são plantas originárias da América do Norte cultivada pelos povos indígenas para alimentação, foram domesticadas por volta do ano 1000 a.C.. Francisco Pizarro encontrou diversos objetos incas e imagens moldadas em ouro que fazem referência aos girassóis como seu deus do Sol. O Girassol recebe esse nome porque sua flor acompanha a trajetória do sol, do nascente ao poente.

Mitos e crendices

O girassol é uma flor simbólica que significa fama, sucesso, sorte e felicidade.

Na Hungria, acredita-se que a semente do girassol cura infertilidade, e sementes colocadas na beira da janela, em uma casa onde exista uma mulher grávida, o filho será homem.

Na Espanha, para se ter sorte são necessários onze girassóis.

A flor pode ser considerada a planta-símbolo do Novo Milênio.

O girassol é um símbolo da páscoa, apesar de poucas pessoas saberem. Girassol é um dos símbolos pascais menos conhecidos em algumas regiões. É, porém, muito rico em conteúdo: assim como para sobreviver a planta precisa ter sua corola voltada para o sol, do nascente ao poente, segundo os cristãos, os seres humanos devem estar voltados para o Sol-Cristo garantindo a luz e a felicidade.

 

English

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant native to the Americas. It possesses a large inflorescence (flowering head). The sunflower is named after its huge, fiery blooms, whose shape and image are often used to depict the sun. It has a rough, hairy stem, broad, coarsely toothed, rough leaves and circular heads of flowers. The heads consist of many individual flowers which mature into seeds, often in the hundreds, on a receptacle base. From the Americas, sunflower seeds were brought to Europe in the 16th century, where, along with sunflower oil, they became a widespread cooking ingredient. Leaves of the sunflower can be used as cattle feed, while the stems contain a fibre which may be used in paper production.

Description

Head displaying florets in spirals of 34 and 55 around the outside

What is usually called the "flower" on a mature sunflower is actually a "flower head" (also known as a "composite flower") of numerous florets (small flowers) crowded together. The outer petal-bearing florets are the sterile florets and can be yellow, red, orange, or other colors. The florets inside the circular head are called disc florets, which mature into seeds.

The flower petals within the sunflower's cluster are always in a spiral pattern. Generally, each floret is oriented toward the next by approximately the golden angle, 137.5°, producing a pattern of interconnecting spirals, where the number of left spirals and the number of right spirals are successive Fibonacci numbers. Typically, there are 34 spirals in one direction and 55 in the other; on a very large sunflower there could be 89 in one direction and 144 in the other. This pattern produces the most efficient packing of seeds within the flower head.

Sunflowers commonly grow to heights between 1.5 and 3.5 m (5–12 ft.). The tallest sunflower confirmed by Guinness World Records is 8.0 m (2009, Germany). In 16th century Europe the record was already 7.3 m (24 ft., Spain). Most cultivars are variants of H. annuus, but four other species (all perennials) are also domesticated. This includes H. tuberosus, the Jerusalem Artichoke, which produces edible tubers.

Heliotropism misconception

Flowerheads facing East, away from the Sun. Late afternoon, Sun is in the West.

A common misconception is that sunflower heads track the Sun across the sky. This old and chronic misconception was debunked already in 1597 by the English botanist John Gerard, who grew sunflowers in his famous herbal garden: "[some] have reported it to turn with the Sun, the which I could never observe, although I have endeavored to find out the truth of it." The uniform alignment of sunflower heads in a field might give some people the false impression that they are tracking the sun, but the heads are actually pointing in a fixed direction (east) all day long. However, the uniform alignment does result from heliotropism in an earlier development stage, the bud stage, before the appearance of flower heads (anthesis). The buds are heliotropic until the end of the bud stage, and finally face east. Their heliotropic motion is a circadian rhythm, synchronized by the sun, which continues if the sun disappears on cloudy days. If a sunflower plant in the bud stage is rotated 180°, the bud will be turning away from the sun for a few days, as resynchronization by the sun takes time. The heliotropic motion of the bud is performed by the pulvinus, a flexible segment just below the bud, due to reversible changes in turgor pressure (no growth).

History

The evidence thus far is that the sunflower was first domesticated in what is now the Southeastern US, roughly 5000 years ago. and possibly introduced into Mexico at an early date, as other crops such as maize were exchanged. The earliest known examples of a fully domesticated sunflower have been found in Tennessee, and date to around 2300 BC[citation needed]. Many indigenous American peoples used the sunflower as the symbol of their solar deity, including the Aztecs and the Otomi of Mexico and the Incas in South America. In 1510 early Spanish explorers encountered the sunflower in the Americas and carried its seeds back to Europe. Of the four plants known to have been domesticated in what is now the continental United States to have become an important agricultural commodity, sunflower is currently the most economically important.

During the 18th century, the use of sunflower oil became very popular in Russia, particularly with members of the Russian Orthodox Church, because sunflower oil was one of the few oils that was allowed during Lent, according to some fasting traditions.

Tra la moltitudine di città interessate da questo nuovo percorso fotografico,emerge un prezioso itinerario che collega le diverse città in cui Guglielmo Marconi ha vissuto la sua vita.

Un nuovo viaggio fotografico, tra cui immagini che rendono omaggio al grande inventore italiano Guglielmo Marconi, padre della radio e Premio Nobel per la fisica nel 1909. Bolognese di nascita, Marconi passò molto del suo tempo nella sua casa di Cattolica. Chissà cosa penserebbe oggi, affacciato alla finestra di Villa Marconi, delle persone in spiaggia collegate a internet con computer e cellulari wireless, persone in contatto con il mondo ventiquattro ore al giorno. Su quella stessa spiaggia dove lui ha passeggiato e guardato il mare immerso nei suoi pensieri e nei suoi esperimenti. Forse tutta questa comunicazione l’avrebbe fatto sorridere, lui che fu il padre della comunicazione con telegrafia senza fili. Di una cosa però siamo sicuri, sicuramente affacciato alla finestra della sua camera, avrebbe rivolto lo sguardo all’Adriatico e avrebbe atteso uno di quei meravigliosi tramonti di Cattolica, in cui il sole diventa una palla di fuoco che scompare lentamente all’orizzonte. Uno spettacolo di colori che soltanto Lei può regalare. Attimi, si prefigge l’obiettivo di raccontare attraverso un percorso di immagini e racconti, il legame che la città romagnola conserva con il suo illustre personaggio. testo di Alessandra Fabri

Regione Emilia Romagna Il Presidente

Con questo nuovo libro fotografico prosegue il progetto “Amando Cattolica” e con la VI Edizione, dal titolo “Attimi, EMOZIONI NEL TEMPO INFINITO…sulle tracce di Guglielmo Marconi”, Antonio Barbieri è , ancora una volta, riuscito a catturare, nelle sue fotografie, l’anima più intima di Cattolica e dei paesaggi vicini.

L’attaccamento alla propria terra, la passione e la sensibilità artistica sono evidenziate in queste immagini che mostrano con chiarezza la trasformazione nel tempo di questo territorio, facendone riaffiorare con emozioni intese l’essenza più vera.

L’obiettivo dell’artista si allarga su scorci suggestivi di altre città italiane, cogliendone particolari che ben delineano la ricchezza artistica, culturale architettonica della nostra Italia.

Il mio particolare apprezzamento va ancora una volta rivolto a questo lavoro, alla dedizione particolare e scrupolosa con cui Antonio Barbieri ha saputo mostrate la genuinità e la semplicità di un territorio in continua evoluzione ma sempre attento a rinnovare la propria cultura dell’accoglienza.

This used to be a photo of the middle of an Iris until I took it to photoshop and used my sliders on it! Looks better on black.

Used by its three O&O's (WABD New York, later WNEW-TV and now WNYW; WTTG Washington, DC; and WDTV Pittsburgh, now KDKA-TV). Its use continued to at least the early years after the demise of DuMont and the spinoff of its remaining two stations into the DuMont Broadcasting Corporation (which later evolved into Metromedia).

O Pacific Blue é provavelmente o azul mais lindo da minha coleção! Sério gente, ele é mto lindo mesmo!

Tem uma cobertura boa. Passei 2 camadas. O brilho dele tb é bom, o suficiente pra que eu dispensasse o uso do top coat. Mas foi nessa que eu me ferrei. Porque a secagem dele é lenta. Lentaaaaa. Muito lentaaaaaa! Esmaltei as unhas, esperei um pouco e fui dormir, né? Acordei com as unhas destruídas! Pelo lençol, e pelo Arthurzinho, que carinhosamente me abocanha todos os dias pelas manhãs. Eu tive que passar uma camadinha de top coat pra arrumar o estrago. Não ficou perfeito, mas deu pra quebrar o galho. E como deu!

Amei esse lindo! *-*

I used to teach the mallet (xylophones, marimbas, glockenspiels etc) section of The Comets Drum and Trumpet Corps in Bradley, Bilston, West Mids between 1986 and 1995. In that time we won numerous trophies and made many friends, playing music such as Jolson, Mack and Mable, Jupiter (The Planets Suite). After I left the band, got married, and moved away in 1995 my Mom bought me the Xylophone that I had played in the band, and here she is! A beautiful 3.5 octave rosewood Premier Xylophone. Very well loved, but hardly used in the last 12 years...

Using flickr's filters yay. Leaving for a family trip over the weekend. Kai gets left behind. She's pretty upset and is already resenting me for leaving her. She's a very emotional dog.

This is a picture of my S-M-C Macro-Takumar f4 using a new (to me) Petri lens that I'm working on adapting to be used on my R7. The Petri mount is super weird and not very popular or common. This is my 3rd Petri lens.

I'm 3D printing the mount. So far, so good. But for this image I just held the lens up to the M42 to Canon RF adapter and shot it.

 

The lens itself looks interesting. I need to get this mount figured out first and then do some testing.

Used a photo I took. An arrangement of dried flowers.

STEP ONE: use a small eyeshadow brush to fill in hot pink on the upper eyelid from the corner of the eye to above where your pupils are when you are staring straight ahead. I used Pop Beauty shadow for the neon bright color and High Intensity Pigment eyeshadow for sparkle.

 

STEP TWO: blend Pop Beauty orange shadow into the pink and continue across the eye in an exaggeration of the cat's eye.

 

STEP THREE: you probably have hella eyeshadow all over your face right now, so use a cleansing wipe/washcloth to make the edges of the cat's eye swoop clean and crisp. If you got orange or pink on your lower lid or eyebrow, clean it up.

 

STEP FOUR: line the upper eye with black liquid liner.

 

STEP FIVE: use a slanted brush, eyeliner brush, or smudge stick blend metallic Covergirl turquoise shadow along the lower lid.

 

STEP SIX: use a light gold eyeshadow from the eyebrow to the pink/orange gradient (i used High Intensity Pigment shadow in Mischief)

 

STEP SEVEN: use a darker, more metallic gold to trace along the top of the orange/pink gradient (I used Covergirl)

It's now become part of our travelling calendar - we go on a city break for Jayne’s birthday in January - no presents for birthday's and Christmas, we travel instead. This year it was Seville. We had to drive 180 miles south to Stansted to fly there though, Friday afternoon on the A1, such fun... It was a really good drive down in actual fact, the best day for months, glorious blue sky and a fantastic sunset- and I was in a car. We got stung for tea and drinks in the Radison Blu but we were overnighting and leaving the car so we didn't have much choice. Ryanair aagh! Again no choice. To be fair to the abrasive Irish man O Leary things are better than they used to be and it was an acceptable flight.

 

We were hoping for better weather than we got- don't you always? It was. cold, windy and after some initial beautiful sun on our first afternoon, it was mostly grey. The wind died but so did the sun. The other little problem was that it was my turn for the awful cold that Jayne had been trying to get over. I was under the weather in more ways than one all week, it was only a cold but it was the worst I've had for ages and it didn't help my mood, particularly when the sun was absent. We had a few hours of really nice light here and there and I made the most of it - I think!

 

Seville has miles and miles of narrow cobbled streets, they seem to go on for ever. They are almost random in layout and it is extremely difficult to find your way around, it's easier to just keep walking and see what you find. So we did! The architecture is stunning and the history is fascinating. Aside from the ancient history the two events that seem to have had a massive recent influence are the Expo's of 1929 and 1992. The incredible buildings or 'Pavilions' that were built for a one off event are now part of the reason that people visit the city. The 1929 pavilions are fantastic, each one is a story in itself and a destination in its own right but there are a lot of them in Parque Maria Luisa. Plaza Espana, built by the hosts of course, is the biggest and I would imagine that you could make a project out of photographing the individual ceramic tile displays around it on their own. These incredible buildings really need the light to be right to get images that people want to see, flat bright light from bright grey skies is good for certain things but dramatic architecture deserves better - or maybe I'm looking for the easy way option. The other discovery that we made, we found just down the road from the hotel, about an hour into the trip – The Metropol Parasol. A giant lattice work parasol, apparently called ‘The Mushrooms’ locally and apparently the world’s largest wooden structure. You have to look twice, having discovered that it is wood. Only later did we discover that we could get to the top and there is an extensive walkway around the top of it. It is built on top of ancient ruins, ( still intact and viewable) a food market and bars etc. and has a plaza around it and on it, that is buzzing on weekend evenings. Walking around the top, the first people up it one day and being back to watch the sunset later was one of the highlights of the trip for me.

 

The 1992 Expo also covered a massive area but left behind lots of modern - and some very strange - buildings and arenas. Some are of a temporary nature and get dismantled others find a new use. The land used was on an island between two branches of the River Guadalquivir – Isla de la Cartuja. The branch that goes through the city is now a canal, blocked at its northern end by a barrier with a motorway on it, and is used extensively for water sports, mainly rowing. Many of the buildings are now used by private companies as headquarters , others have a very derelict look. The whole area- even though it is home to the theme park- which was shut for the winter, has a neglected air about it. There are weeds growing everywhere but fountains are switched on, which seemed odd. Unlike the city a short distance away, there are no cafes or bars or other people around for that matter, just us meandering through. The car park that was created for the event is massive, it stretches for miles, and I really mean miles. Totally derelict, just the odd person or dog walker around. There is even a railway line terminating here, in the middle of nowhere a modern and apparently unmanned station, like a ghost station. At this point, across the river proper is open countryside, much flatter than I expected and very easy for local walkers and cyclists to get to - also very calm and quiet, a place to linger and enjoy the peace.

 

As usual I researched and discovered as we walked, we averaged around 13 miles a day and tried to get off the beaten track. We were out around 8.15, before sunrise, and had orange juice, coffee and Tostada with the locals for breakfast. The trouble is that there are many miles of walking in a relatively small area, some streets are only a few feet wide so there are a lot of them to explore. Incredible ancient churches and squares are around every corner- it's a very religious place - Catholicism rules in Spain. Unfortunately many are only a few feet away from the building next to it and it is difficult to get a decent shot of them. Seville is also famous, historically, as a producer of ceramic tiles. A building isn’t complete without a tile display of some sort and it would be very easy to make a project out of tiles alone. It may be a little boring for any companions though!

 

We walked the length of the embankment a couple of times, it has graffiti from end to end, several miles of massive concrete walls covered in everything imaginable, from marker pen scribbling to works of art. It was suggested to me that allowing people to paint here might prevent them from daubing property and monuments in the city- it hasn't! Most alleyways and shutters have been attacked to a greater or lesser degree. Spain has very high youth unemployment and maybe this plays a role. To be truthful though we haven't seen a city that's free of graffiti. The other problem is dogs- or what they produce, it's everywhere, absolutely everywhere, in a week we saw only one person remove his dogs mess. Fortunately the city streets are cleaned exceptionally well, some of the cleanest we have come across, men (and a lot of women) and machines are washing and sweeping endlessly.

 

Having had the wettest winter on record at home - almost three months of rain - we didn't want more rain but we got it. The upside was the water and the reflections that it created made photography on the cobbled streets more interesting, particularly at night. I usually find that it takes me a while to get into the groove on a trip and this one was no different, I didn't start shooting with total disregard - street shots- for a couple of days. Whilst the locals wore quilted jackets and scarves we got down to tee shirts at times, the warmer afternoons would be welcome in summer, never mind January, in Huddersfield. I envied the cyclists, being able to train in temperatures like this in winter - I wish! You need a lot less willpower to get out there and train hard in pleasant weather.

 

From a photography point of view I had a frustrating time, I never felt to get to grips with the place- other than on the streets at night. Writing this on my phone on the flight home, I haven't a clue what I've got to work with when I get back. I usually edit first and write later. Generally I have a first look, I'm disillusioned, I then revisit and see things differently- thankfully! Architectural shots with a grey sky could be destined for the monochrome treatment, we'll soon see. I'm still editing stuff from our London trip before Christmas, it's getting decent views in black and white and I quite enjoy looking at them myself.

We visited most of the notable tourist destinations, and went up anything that we could. Seville doesn't have a high point-it's flat! Nothing really stands head and shoulders above the city. The Cathedral tower is over 300 feet but the Cathedral itself fills a lot of the view on some aspects. Being square and having to look through bars in recesses you don't really get a completely open aspect. A new 600 foot tower is close to being finished, it's an office block and I couldn't find any mention of it being a viewing point in the future.

 

Oranges were the last thing on my mind when I suggested going to Seville. There are 25000 orange trees in Seville and now is the time that they are laden with big-and sour- Seville oranges, they are everywhere, apparently they are the property of the city authorities and will be harvested and sent to the UK to be made in to marmalade at some point in the near future. These trees will soon be covered in fragrant blossom, the city will smell beautiful for a couple of months. Studying the surrounding area it would be good to tour in March or April I would think, the scents, longer days and better weather would make for a fantastic trip. One for the future. The sunrise on our final morning was the best of the week, this was what we had looked forward to, we had to leave for the airport at 9.00...... Needless to say it was raining hard as we drove the last twenty miles home. Nothing new there then.

 

As usual I have aimed to present a pretty extensive collection of photographs of our chosen destination, some, at first glance will be pretty mundane shots of everyday life on the streets, often though, close inspection will reveal something humorous, something that needs a bit of thought. Others are definitely just people going about their holiday or work. Travelling with someone else it wouldn’t be fair to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to nail the perfect long exposure or HDR image of a cathedral or similar in perfect light – the one stunning shot to add to the portfolio- it’s not really my thing, I go for an overview of the place in the time available. Looking at the postcards locally it becomes obvious that stunning shots of some of these buildings are hard to come by. Heavily corrected converging verticals were quite obvious – and most likely will be in my own shots. As the owner of tilt and shift lenses I never travel with one – ever! My knees are already creaking from the weight of the bag.

 

These used to be in use all the time presenting a major obstacle to onward coastal path progress. Now walkers can walk across the army ranges more often than not to continue on to Portwrinkle in the distance

He used to love it when we brushed his teeth. Then he didn't. Then, recently, he was into it again. Now he's into it, but only if he gets to do it. Then it takes the two of us to hold him down to make sure his teeth are getting brushed.

 

But my goodness, doesn't he look so grown up here? Crazy.
