Enamored by the photography of the mid-nineteenth century with it's attitude toward such elements as scale, linear overlapping, and presence of space, I attempted such in this composition.
I am simply astonished at what those photographers created with their early photography cameras, lenses, and developing techniques.
Sure I took a dozen shots with the digital camera - that's the luxury of what they do... quite an abomination of artistic talent.
Only one shot worked - where the central characters are composed as a stretched diamond and suspended in a jumble of converging lines.
How the masters of the nineteenth century managed to compose their masterpieces with one shot using a view camera is beyond my comprehension.
The fascinating thing of chameleons are their eyes. They could be moved in every different direction. So they could watch back and forward at the same time!

Red-tailed Hawk. View Large On Black The Red-tailed Hawk occupies a wide range of habitats and altitudes, including deserts, grasslands, coniferous and deciduous forests, tropical rainforests, agricultural fields and urban areas. It lives throughout the North American continent, except in areas of unbroken forest or the high arctic. It is legally protected in Canada, Mexico and the United States by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. IMG_2610
I must admit this hasn’t been the first time to have experienced this unique bonding, when the bird accepted my presence and wouldn’t fly away. Call it “interspecies communication" if you wish, or telepathy - I don’t know (smile).
After taking a few good shots with my 400mm f5.6, I have decided to take the chance and switch lenses, for a shallower DOF. The cute owl didn't move a bit. I must admit having experienced a feeling of acceptance and trust. I gave the owl its space by not getting too close.
Shot taken at f2.8 with Canon 5dIII coupled with canon 70-200 f/2.8 II.
Clark's Woods - Iowa
Didn't have to venture out very far to capture the early morning delights. Buds, blossoms and leaves are finally "popping" announcing that spring is here in the heartland!
The variety of colors, shapes and size makes a walk in the woods worth the effort!

Sometimes the stars and planets align and you encounter a scene where every single element contributes to tell the story. The result in this case was a rather jarring visual projection of gritty bleakness and utter hopelessness. The most compelling photos give you a sense inclusion in the image rather than feeling like a mere bystander.
When viewed small this image seems to be one thing but as it get larger it switches and it's true perspective emerges. I liked the pattern but also the surprise.
SOOC - pretty much.
Messier 8 (M8), also known as the Lagoon Nebula, is a large, bright emission nebula located in the constellation Sagittarius. The star-forming nebula has an apparent magnitude of 6.0 and lies at a distance of 4,100 light years from Earth. It has the designation NGC 6523 in the New General Catalogue.
The Lagoon Nebula is currently undergoing a period of active star formation and has already formed a sizable cluster of stars. NGC 6530, the extremely young open cluster formed from the material of M8, has a visual magnitude of 4.6 and covers an area of 14 arc minutes in the sky. It is centred in the eastern part of the nebula.

An ominous view over Clear Lake yesterday morning as the weather forecast was predicting freezing rain, sleet mixed with snow for our area starting late last night!
Well guess what? The weather man must know what he is doing because that is just what we are experiencing here this morning!
Sigh . . . not good!

"Metamorfosi oscura" significa letteralmente "trasformazione oscura", e si riferisce a un processo di cambiamento profondo e spesso non chiaramente visibile o compreso, che può portare a perdite e acquisti, e che si discosta dalla normalità o da uno stato precedente.
Un individuo che, dopo un evento difficile, si ritrova ad essere cambiato interiormente, con uno sguardo diverso sulla vita, dovendo adattarsi a una realtà percepita come più buia o complicata.
Il passaggio da un'innocenza iniziale a una consapevolezza delle tenebre e delle difficoltà della vita, senza filtri.
Un processo di auto-analisi in solitudine che può portare a una comprensione profonda del dolore e del trauma, ma anche a un ripiegamento oscuro e a una trasformazione della persona.
"Metamorfosi oscura" può riferirsi a diversi concetti, tra cui l'ipotetico libro di Roberta Bruzzone sul narcisismo maligno e le sue conseguenze devastanti in adolescenza, l'opera omonima di Kafka che esplora l'emarginazione e la solitudine, l'opera omonima di Kafka che esplora l'emarginazione e la solitudine, e il tema generale della trasformazione in un'altra forma, come un essere vivente che diventa pianta o animale. L'opera di Kafka, "La metamorfosi", è una novella che esplora temi come l'emarginazione, la solitudine e la trasformazione di un individuo in un insetto gigante, mettendo in luce la sua condizione di "diverso" all'interno della famiglia e della società.
An image taken when I was in New Mexico photographing an Indian Day School in Sanostee, near Ship Rock. It was a pretty breezy evening with red dust blowing. I turned around to get the wind out of my face, and this is the view I saw. That's Mitten Rock on the right and the road is Indian Service Rte 13 heading towards Arizona.
Food Cart, Fifth Avenue. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
A food cart vendor on 5th Avenue, near Central Park, Manhattan.
This photograph comes from the second of our two recent visits to Manhattan, this one about a week into the month of October. The previous visit was in August. (I can just hear the New Yorkers: “What!! You wen to New York City in August? Are you nuts?”) Let’s just say that the weather on the first trip was different than on the second. In October it was quite pleasant, and there was a hint of autumn. Things seemed to be slowing just a bit, and the light was different. In fact, in the urban canyons of Manhattan, the later sunrise meant that many places were still in shadow later in the day, including this street corner along the east side of Central Park.
We were staying a few blocks west of Central Park, and on this morning we went out for a walk through the park. I came upon this food cart when we reached the far side of Fifth Avenue. Two things catch my attention about this cart. First, it sure isn’t very busy! Second, because of those shadows the cart’s lights almost make it look like evening. It also occurs to me that something about the colors of light and shadow and the empty streets creates a sort of autumnal feeling.
