Using a nylon stocking over the lens to create soft focus for an Impressionistic effect. I tried 4 different tones of nylons - I'm pretty sure this is the cream one.
Taken for NP challenge - Impressionism in your Camera
Using state of the art cutting edge (no pun intended) photography, I have managed to get a shot of the internal workings of my brain.
Like a well oiled machine, though the gears are worn and weathered, my Flickr philosophy can be thought of as:
Post varied subject matter
Provoke interesting conversation
Exchange knowledge
Expand social interaction
Don't bore people
Have fun
Read this far? Then it must work.
Don't mistake cogs in the brain for the Carambola common name Star Fruit.
The fruit is entirely edible, including the slightly waxy skin. The flesh is crunchy, firm, and extremely juicy. The texture is similar in consistency to grapes and the flavour slightly like lemonade.
A picture of the whole fruit is shown below.
These IMPERFECTIONS in the flesh are nothing to worry about.
Behind the Lens Theme
I used line in my photograph to create movement from the foreground to the background of the photo. I also took it at an angle so that there was light coming onto the fence. The light adds emphasis on the center of the fence so that the movement towards the back of the photo is more prominent.
I first went outside relatively early in the morning so the light was coming slightly onto the fence and created emphasis on the rain drops. When editing I made the brownish orange in the fence and the green in the background more prominent so that they contrasted more.
I think that I did a nice job of taking the photo at the right time of day and getting a good angle of the fence so that the water droplets were seen. I also think that I did a nice job of bringing out the orange and brown in the fence so that it contrasted with the green of the grass.
If I were to do this assignment again, I would have tried to take the picture so the line of the wood was going straight down the center to create balance. I also would have tried to get some of the back, including the rest of the fence and grass, more in focus so they wouldn’t look as pixelated.

Ecovolis program has proven successful in dramatically increasing bicycle use in Tirana, which, formerly, was a city without a developed bicycle culture. Ecovolis program is the first project in Albania that provides low-income adults with commuter bicycles as well as a donating program for children bicycles. The program recently completed two major steps, opening new bike stations in the city of Durrës and integrating Tourist Information Point Service to the bicycles stations' structure.
History
The Tirana Community Bicycle Albania project won financial support from the George Soros Open Society Foundation Albania (OSFA). An even larger contribution came from the US-based Pedal for Progress organization, which donated 450 bicycles. Sixty of these were used road bikes, which were modified and painted by local technicians to serve as public bikes in the Ecovolis scheme. Another portion was set aside to donate to children and to activists and volunteers at PASS. Still another portion were diverted to the project's Eco Bicycle Shop, a social enterprise which sells bikes for USD 50-150 and reinvests profits for the service and maintenance of Ecovolis bicycles. The main objective of the program was to introduce the community to an inexpensive, environmental friendly form of transport -- the bicycle; to sell used bikes at low prices; to donate bikes to the children of needy families and to PASS volunteers; to establish a bike sharing-scheme in the city (Ecovolis); and to employ financially disadvantaged people and young students to operate the bike-sharing scheme.
System
Each Ecovolis station is staffed by two employees in two shifts and contains 30 -- 60 bicycles. In order to use the bicycles it is required to provide a personal identification document (such as passport or ID card) or by subscribing to the Ecovolis membership Card.
The first black and red bicycles, (also the colors of the Albanian flag) were donated from US-organization Pedal for Progress, (which collect and donate used bicycles). As these bicycles were of different types, converting them for safe and comfortable public use took months of work. The price per bicycle varies from 60 US$ to 90 US$ each. The bicycle is equipped with a front bicycle basket, a behind carrier, a comfortable saddle and a public fender with the Ecovolis sign.
The bicycle stations also provide touristic information to the visitors and a list of the city attractions. Moreover, being a non-profit social enterprise, during particular days the program offers free bicycle service, cycling courses, donations of bicycles and helmets for children in need, bike tours and a bicycle recycle program.

Le 23 mai 2015, les citoyens du monde entier, dans une cinquantaine de pays et plus de 30 villes françaises, marcheront à nouveau contre Monsanto et consorts (Bayer, Syngenta, les multinationales des OGM et des pesticides). Toutes et tous dans la rue pour condamner ce modèle agricole accro à la chimie et aux manipulations du vivant, imposé au détriment des peuples et des paysans qui les nourrissent !
Lancées de façon autogérée par des citoyens soucieux de s’engager, ou par des militants associatifs locaux, ces marches sont des événements ouverts, sur un positionnement 100% citoyen, sans étiquette politique.
Nos revendications
Assez d’empoisonnement ! En mars 2015, le Centre international de recherche sur le cancer de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé classait le Roundup de Monsanto, l’herbicide le plus vendu au monde et indissociable de la culture des OGM, comme « probablement cancérogène ». Nous exigeons la prise en compte des études indépendantes sur les conséquences toxiques des OGM, pesticides et hormones de croissance, sur notre santé et sur l’environnement, ainsi que l’attribution de budgets publics permettant l’indépendance totale de la recherche sur ces sujets. Nous réclamons le retrait immédiat des produits toxiques abusivement présents sur le marché, pour agriculteurs ou jardiniers, et plus particulièrement le Roundup et les néonicotinoïdes tueurs d’abeilles.
OGM et Tafta, même combat ! Nous affirmerons notre opposition au projet de Grand marché transatlantique (TAFTA ou TTIP), cheval de Troie des multinationales de l’agrobusiness pour imposer les OGM et réduire toujours davantage les normes sanitaires destinées à protéger la santé des consommateurs. Demain, avec le TAFTA, des entreprises comme Monsanto pourraient attaquer les moratoires des États opposés à la culture des OGM devant des tribunaux d’arbitrage privés, et réclamer des indemnités de plusieurs millions puisées dans les deniers publics.
Réapproprions-nous les biens communs, contre les intérêts privés d’une minorité ! Nous exigeons la cessation immédiate des brevets sur les semences et le vivant, régulièrement entachés de biopiraterie, et la liberté d’usage des semences de ferme, ainsi que leur échange entre jardiniers amateurs, car il est inacceptable que des entreprises privées aient la mainmise sur une diversité génétique qui appartient à toute l’humanité, qui est le fruit d’un savoir-faire millénaire, et qui constitue la source de toute alimentation humaine. Il est inadmissible que dans de nombreux pays, particulièrement du Sud, les « lois semencières » dictées par les multinationales menacent la souveraineté alimentaire et criminalisent, comme de vulgaires voleurs, les paysans et paysannes qui produisent et échangent des semences traditionnelles.
Une alimentation saine pour tous ! Nous dénonçons la dérive des fermes-usines où des animaux sont parqués dans des cages pour être gavés d’OGM, sans qu’aucun étiquetage sur la viande n’éclaire le choix du consommateur. Le 23 mai nous manifesterons notre volonté d’une agriculture écologique, relocalisée, respectueuse des travailleurs agricoles comme des écosystèmes, et d’une alimentation capable de garantir notre santé et celle de nos enfants. L’agriculture biologique, sans OGM ni pesticides toxiques, respectant les équilibres climatiques, ne doit pas devenir une niche commerciale réservée à un public averti ou privilégié, mais bien la solution pour offrir une alimentation saine pour TOUS. Une première étape serait le passage de toutes les cantines scolaires et restaurants collectifs à des menus « 100 % bio » afin de soutenir les transitions d’agriculteurs désireux de faire évoluer leurs pratiques.

Le Sommet des Consciences pour le climat www.dailymotion.com/video/x2yukt6
Lancé par Nicolas Hulot, envoyé spécial du président de la République pour la protection de la planète, le Sommet des Consciences réunit le 21 juillet 2015 à Paris, au CESE plus d'une quarantaine personnalités morales et religieuses du monde entier pour répondre à la question « The climate, why do I care ? » et lancer ensemble un « Appel des Consciences pour le climat ».
Une mobilisation des consciences de tous le habitants de la planète s’impose pour réussir le défi auquel l’humanité est confrontée : limiter le réchauffement du climat en diminuant sa consommation d’énergies fossiles et permettre à tous de s’adapter aux conditions nouvelles !
Le Temps est compté. Ce n’est plus seulement une question écologique, économique ou politique. C’est l’avenir de l’humanité qui est en jeu. Chacun de nous se doit de répondre maintenant à la question : est-ce qu’il m’importe que l’aventure de l’humanité sur Terre puisse se poursuivre ? Est-ce que je suis prêt à modifier dès aujourd’hui mon mode de vie pour que nos enfants et leurs enfants puissent vivre dans des conditions supportables ?
L'Appel des consciences
Il est fondamental que les consciences des hommes et des femmes de cette planète s'expriment ensemble, quelques soient leurs conditions, leurs religions, leurs philosophies.
La campagne "Why do I care ?" invite chacun à témoigner, et à faire savoir autour de lui, pourquoi la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique est importante et nous concerne chacun.

Plaidoyer d'un homme libre
« Les sommets sur le climat se succèdent, nous croulons sous l'avalanche de rapports plus alarmants les uns que les autres. Et l'on se rassure avec une multitude de déclarations d'intention et de bonnes résolutions. Si la prise de conscience progresse, sa traduction concrète reste dérisoire. L'humanité doit se ressaisir, sortir de son indifférence et faire naître un monde qui prend enfin soin de lui. »
Nicolas Hulot, Président de la Fondation Nicolas Hulot pour la Nature et l'Homme
Ce manifeste écrit par Nicolas Hulot est un cri du coeur, un plaidoyer pour l'action, un ultime appel à la mobilisation et un coup de poing sur la table des négociations climat avant le grand rendez-vous de la COP21. Il engage chacun à apporter sa contribution dans l'écriture d'un nouveau chapitre de l'aventure humaine, à nous changer nous mêmes et par ce biais à changer le monde.
Diagnostic implacable, constat lucide mais surtout propositions concrètes pour les responsables politiques et pistes d'action accessibles pour chacun d'entre nous, cet ouvrage est l'aboutissement de son engagement et de sa vision en toute liberté des solutions à « prescrire » avant et après la COP21. L'urgence est à l'action. En 12 propositions concrètes, Nicolas Hulot dresse, avec sa Fondation, une feuille de route alternative pour les États et suggère 10 engagements individuels pour que chacun puisse également faire bouger les lignes à son niveau.
Depuis 40 ans, Nicolas Hulot parcourt la planète. Témoin de sa lente destruction, il a décidé de devenir un des acteurs de sa reconstruction. Au côté de sa Fondation pour la Nature et l'Homme ou en parlant aux oreilles des décideurs, il contribue à faire évoluer les mentalités.

Back in April 2015 I visitedMalahide castle and the weather was beautiful but it become so warm that the camera overheated and when I got home I discovered that many of the images were so underexposed that I could not use them. Today as I have different software and hardware available I decided to have a look again at the RAW files and this times the result was much better.
Malahide Castle, parts of which date to the 12th century, lies close to the village of Malahide, nine miles (14 km) north of central Dublin in Ireland. It has over 260 acres (1.1 km2) of remaining parkland estate, forming the Malahide Demesne Regional Park.
Malahide Castle and its demesne was eventually inherited by the 7th Baron Talbot and on his death in 1973, passed to his sister, Rose. In 1975, Rose sold the castle to the Irish State, partly to fund inheritance taxes. Many of the contents, notably furnishings, had been sold in advance, leading to considerable public controversy, but private and governmental parties were able to retrieve some.
The castle, along with its subsidiary attractions, was for many years operated as a tourist attraction by Dublin Tourism, working with Fingal County Council, which owns the whole demesne. The operating partner is now Shannon Heritage, which has in turn appointed subsidiary partners, most notably, for shop and café facilities, Avoca Handweavers.
The castle itself can be visited for a fee, on a guided-tour-only basis. In addition, it is possible to hire the famously Gothic Great Hall for private banquets. The castle's best-known rooms are the Oak Room, and the Great Hall, which displays Talbot family history. In the courtyard behind the castle are a café and craft shop, and other retail facilities.
The Talbot Botanic Gardens, situated behind the castle, comprising several hectares of plants and lawns, a walled garden of 1.6 hectares and seven glasshouses, including a Victorian conservatory. Many plants from the southern hemisphere, notably Chile and Australia, are featured. The gardens showcase the plant collecting passion of the 7th Lord Talbot de Malahide in the mid 20th Century.
The demesne is one of few surviving examples of 18th century landscaped parks, and has wide lawns surrounded by a protective belt of trees. It can be visited freely, with a number of entrances and car parking areas.
In addition to woodland walks, and a marked "exercise trail," the park features sports grounds, including a cricket pitch and several football pitches, a 9-hole par-3 golf course, an 18-hole pitch-and-putt course, tennis courts and a boules area.
Adjacent to the golfing facilities, and containing the access to them, is a pavilion which also contains a café and other facilities.
There is an extensive children's playground near the castle.
A seasonal road train operates in a loop from the vicinity of the castle to the railway station and back. A Malahide castle and coastal tour bus begins its journeys in Malahide Castle and continues to Howth, with two daily departures.

Mike McKee was an up and coming racing driver when I used to watch it in the late 1950's and early 1960's, he was very fast and exciting to watch. My interest in motor racing waned when Aintree stopped holding top class motor racing after 1964, although I believe that club racing continues to this day using the top half of the race track.
My photo shows Mike working on his Jim Russell Racing Drivers School Cooper T45 Climax FPF on practice day for the 1960 Aintree “200”. I don't know what position Mike qualified for on the starting grid but during the race he had to retire on lap 46 of 50 with a misfiring engine.
A few years ago I purchased a scanner and started to scan all my negatives onto my computer. I researched Mike McKee and found that he gave up motor racing in the 1960's and that he lived in Monaco and owned a fine arts gallery, I also found that his grandson, Melville McKee was a leading light in single seater motor racing with ambitions to get involved in formula one at some time.
With a view to uploading some more of my motor racing photos onto Flickr, I “Googled” Mike McKee and the first thing that I saw was an obituary for Mike on the BRDC website.
I have added the obituary below.
The British Racing Drivers Club:-
“We regret to report the death of Life Member Michael 'Mike' McKee at the age of 82 after a period of illness. The son of an eminent surgeon Dr Kenneth McKee, Mike was working at the Jaguar dealership in Norwich when he first met Jack Sears who suggested that young Mike’s desire to drive his Jaguar XK120 very quickly on the public highway might be better indulged down the road at Snetterton. In his first race meeting Mike won two races with the XK120 and he was hooked.
Over the next few years Mike raced Elva-Climax sports racing cars, with a Mk V version of which he and Cedric Brierley finished ninth overall and third in the 1100cc class of the 1959 Tourist Trophy, the final round of the World Sports Car Championship. By then Mike, having become one of the first pupils at Jim Russell’s Snetterton-based Racing Drivers’ School, had acquired a taste for single-seaters and had started racing in the burgeoning Formula Junior category with an Elva-BMC 100 with which he won one of the early British races, one of two comprising the World Sports Trophy at Brands Hatch.
After sustaining serious injuries at Le Mans, Jim Russell also entrusted his star pupil, and by now senior instructor, with his Formula 2 Cooper-Climax T45 for the combined F1/F2 Silver City Trophy at Snetterton, Mike finishing sixth overall and second in the F2 class to Chris Bristow’s BRP Cooper-Borgward T51. The year ended with Mike finishing fourth in the seminal John Davy Trophy Formula Junior race at Brands Hatch on Boxing Day in a Cooper-BMC T52. That race was won by Peter Arundell’s Elva-DKW 100 and the two were to become team mates at Team Lotus with Type 18s in 1960, the year which proved to be Mike’s best season. With the Jim Russell F2 Cooper Mike won the Vanwall Trophy at Snetterton and the Aintree Trophy, finished second at Oulton Park to Roy Salvadori’s similar car and was generally a top 10 runner everywhere even when many F1 drivers were present. Also with the F2 Cooper Mike had his second and last outing in a F1 race, the Lombank Trophy at Snetterton from which he retired.
With the Team Lotus-entered, Jim Russell-run Type 18 Mike was team mate not only to Peter Arundell but also to Jimmy Clark and Trevor Taylor. In the BRDC National FJ Championship Mike finished third behind joint winners Jimmy and Trevor but ahead of Peter. On rare trips to the Continent, Mike came away with wins in the Coupe Internationale de Vitesse at Reims and the Danish FJ Grand Prix at Roskilde. Staying with Jim Russell and Team Lotus for 1961, his FJ team mates were once more Trevor and Peter as Jimmy moved up to F1 full time but the results, with the Type 20, were not so good. Mike won an early race at Snetterton and there was a second place (to the Tyrrell Cooper T56 of Tony Maggs) at Zandvoort but a third at Crystal Palace and two fourth places against very strong fields at Monaco and Solitude were the best he could otherwise muster.
Also in 1961 Mike had a few outings for the UDT Laystall team in its Lotus Elite including at Le Mans where the car was fitted with a 742cc Coventry Climax engine to put one over on the French in the Index of Performance. With the team’s F1 driver Cliff Allison, they were leading when the oil pump failed. At the end of the year Mike retired from racing and in due course moved to Monaco where in 1976 he set up his Monaco Fine Arts Gallery, an occasion which was celebrated by prominent sponsorship of Ronnie Peterson’s March 761 in that year’s Monaco Grand Prix.
Michael’s funeral will take place at 10am on Monday 18 January at St Paul’s Church, Monaco”.

January 2006 - Old cars wait for buyers on 12th Street.
I keep general comments at my eJournal and images.
Using my 35-105mm AIS f/3.5-4.5 lens on my D7000 plus the front lens element of my broken 55-200mm VR held on by hand to take a macro shot of the Gateway logo on my laptop.
I need to dust that shit!
Ordered a male to male ring so I don't have to hand hold the broken front element but otherwise very happy with the results.
Used a bit more thread to secure the hair inside the scalp (I'm still surprised it is supposed to look like that, haha)!
Used 24 mm tilt shift and stitched together 3 images to get a greater perspective.
Edited in HDR Efex Pro 2 and then Photoshop and then Aperture.

Used my UWA lens here (Sigma 10 - 20 mm) but position dictated I had to be close, so had to tilt camera to get the beacon in the frame. This of course had the effect of knocking it off kilter, big time. Had a shot at correcting camera distortion in PE 12 to correct it.
Or rather, me experimenting with CLS. One flash to my left, using the wall behind me as reflector. Some daylight from a window to my right.

I used to look at this picture taken on a -20 morning whenever the summer heat got to me, to remind myself that, that too would pass.
Using layers of washes to render flowers keeping a close eye on the amount of water used. This was a practice piece based on real flowers we had in a vase on the table in front of us. It is not meant to be a finished painting.
I have posted two other florals also done in Janet's workshop.
Reformed from used champagne bottles, these platters are ideal for serving nibbles and cheese. Each squashed bottle comes with a cheese knife and a wire hook so that it can be hung up as a decorative addition to the kitchen. The champagne bottles retain their original foil label. Available in green, the shade may vary slightly from the platter pictured. Perfect for dinner parties and an ideal wedding or new home gift.
