The story of this photo:
I revisited the shots from our Paris trip last year and found a bracketed series of shots of the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel which is positioned in front of the Louvre. I decided to process it and share it with you.
This is one of the rare night HDRs you will find in my stream. I love night shots with great lighting. However, I still have a hard time getting used to carrying around a tripod. I have bought a real light-weight carbon tripod to increase the likelihood of me actually taking it with me. And yet, I still feel that I have a lot more freedom and I am a lot faster without it, getting more shots from more angles. As a result, I have developed some skills of shooting hand-held in low-light conditions, something that comes in handy in churches where tripod are forbidden. Still, I have to get used to using the tripod more often.
BTW, you can find a shot of this place in day light here. This earlier shot was one of my very first uploads to flickr. Go and visit it! It may feel a bit lonesome on the very last page of my stream. :-)
Enjoy!

This photo is comprised of eighteen stack focused images of a diamond shaped paper weight on a shiny, black acrylic surface. It is lit using two separate Philips Hue lights, one set to blue and one to yellow. In addition to this lighting, I also used the Canon Macro Ring flash.
"Flying lines are made of a strong material such as ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, to handle the dynamic load in unpredictable wind while maintaining a small cross-sectional profile to minimize drag. They come in lengths generally between seven and thirty-three meters" - From Wikipedia
This is a desk weight. I am trying to keep things simple. The design is a star hood ornament off a Lincoln Continental automobile.
About 5 months ago I received a diagnosis that finally explained my symptoms. In a way it was a relief to hear the doctor's words, but more so it was a heavy realization that none of this would go away.
I was diagnosed with Hoshimoto's disease, a genetic autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid. The thyroid gland, which is part the endocrine system, produces hormones that coordinate many of the body's activities.
Its unfortunate to accept that extreme exhaustion, anxiety, depression, immune attacks, nausea, and sickness are what both my present and future look like. My symptoms will maintain or get worse. Some days feel normal and easy but most take more effort than they used to.
Despite this, I do not want to look at my life through the lens of limitation. I may be cold and sleepy all the time, I may not be able to "handle" as much as other people, but I will still live this life that God gave me no matter my circumstance.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
African elephants (Loxodanta africana) are elephants of the genus Loxodonta.
A male elephant can grow up to 4 metres in height and weigh up to 7 tonnes; whilst their females counterparts can still weigh in at a mere 3.5 tonnes.
To feed an animal of such gigantic proportions takes a lot of food. Their daily food intake is almost as much as 4-7% of their body weight. When you are an elephant, that equates to finding and eating an awful lot of food. As you would expect, all that food needs to be digested and dozed off, which is why our elephant friends can deposit upwards of 150 kg of dung daily! Eew!
Elephants are herbivores and only eat grasses, herbs, fruit, plants and trees. Their healthy, vegetarian diet is obviously good for them as the average elephant has a life span of around 70 odd years, a bit like we do
This huge bull Elephant was photographed roaming the savannah plains of Samburu Game Reserve, Kenya.

This was an interesting find. I usually think of waves as a destructive force, slowly eating shorelines all around the world, turning solid rock into soft sand. In this case it was the opposite, the waves acted as a constructive force, splashing water on this tree, slowly building these icicles. I was surprised how big they got, on such a small branch, and the way they curve, probably from the changing weight of the branch as the icicles grew. I'm sure the wind helped too, creating the waves, and cooling the water enough to freeze.
I am pressed so hard against the earth by the weight of reality that some days I wonder how I am still able to lift my feet and walk..
France : 1927
Straight 8 cylinder 7938cc engine.
Weight : 1200 kg.
It didn't have a gearbox to minimize the weight. The oversized clutch and the torque of the engine were enough to start the car.
This car has 17 World Records in 1927, among them the 3.000 miles at an average speed of 182km/h. It could widely pass the 200 km/h since it also won the 100km at an average speed of 206 km/h.
Although, the car was destroyed after a tyre burst on the circuit. This model is a replica.
A deep dive into the archives. The elk in Rocky Mountain National Park were busy bulking up for the rut and to have some reserves for the winter...taking advantage of the plentiful vegetation in the high country. This guy seemed to be taking that task a bit more seriously than the other bulls I saw.
Time to start that diet. Picture is free to use - just credit "Alan Cleaver". There are more free stock photography shots in my Freestock set.

This is a LONG one, so don't feel any obligation to read below. It's no big deal, just our friendship hangs in the balance.
It started off innocuously enough. A trip to the coast hosted by the Turners had been a much anticipated gem on the calendar for several weeks, and the promise of relatively dry conditions put a little extra spring in my accelerator foot crossing the coastal mountain range. It turned out our buddy Andrew was going to be at the coast as well, so a little coordination was sure to yield some good times. Don't all stories of death and terror start out just so?
We settled into our shooting positions around these rocks, and took stock of the ripening conditions, senses tingling with anticipation. If you think this sunset was pretty good, you should have seen it off to the right! Unfortunately, my standard comp scramble to find something in that direction yielded the usual, trash-able results.
As I hadn't shot in about a month, I attributed my sunset-panic-flounder to lack of practice. Warmups out of the way, my confidence was swelling the next morning as we tumbled down 101 in the dark to meet Andrew at Yachats, where he had some channels to show us. The slowly brightening world quickly squashed any hopes of a colorful sunrise, but a scramble down the 30 foot, steep, boulder wall was definitely in order. If nothing else, this would be a fantastic opportunity to scout some future locations. After playing "wave dodge" with varying degrees of success, I was taken with the water plumes ripping off the tops of the waves in the strong offshore winds. The better vantage point was definitely above.
As I grappled up the rocks, I marveled at the feat of engineering and erosion control that these rather massive boulders represent. I don't know how successful they will be at holding back the unrelenting sea, but it looked like a heck of a try.
Finally an opportunity to mount the 70-200! Such a trusty lens.... sharp as a tack, epic build quality. Using it makes me feel manly. Feeling my fingers go numb in the frigid windchill instantly clubs that manly feeling over the head, and after mounting camera, lens, and tripod I went back into my camera bag for my polarizer.
Out of the corner of my eye, I detected motion. Instinct and cat-like reflexes took over. Well, at my weight, it's more of a cow-like reflex, but it WAS instantaneous. Unfortunately, that instinct was to flinch, duck, and cover my head, much as I've done in the cockpit when a bird or some poor kid's balloon goes whizzing by the cockpit window at 300 mph. I uncovered my eyes just enough to watch the graceful arc of my camera lifting off like the Space Shuttle and heading out over the cliff in a silent, perfectly parabolic arc.
I've seen this before, having watched Kevin McNeal's camera sail off Rowena and smash into a million pieces on the rocks below.
A gruesome fact: by far the most common last word recorded on airplane cockpit voice recorders that crash is "SH&T". That cold January morning, I learned what I will say if ever faced with a major crisis. I said three "SH&T"'s, one for each boulder I watched my camera gear bounce off of before coming to rest 25 feet below on the rocks. Andrew heard it bounce.
Frantically scrambling down the cliff, I let out a constant gale of expletives at the murderous winds that had taken the life of my Canon 5D II, Canon 70-200L, Gitzo 1325 Tripod, and BRAND NEW RRS BH-55 Ballhead. I don't even want to think about doing the math to calculate how much money we are talking about here.
Are you ready for this? It lives. I don't know how, and I don't know why, but my camera gear is in one piece. There are a few scratches and dings, and one scrape on the element of my lens, but somehow the L-Bracket on my camera and my tripod took the brunt of the shock force trauma. If you had witnessed the massacre, you would have bet me $1 Million that it would be in pieces on the rocks below. I'm telling you, it was a religious experience. Talk about a tough camera!! Way to go Canon!!
The cynic in me says that the inner workings of my camera are hanging on JUST long enough to get me out to some remote corner of Death Valley before they give me a cackle, a thump, and then die.
I guess I'm not supposed to put my website address here, so it's in My Profile if anyone cares.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
I'm thankful for all the blessings God has bestowed on me and my family. And I'm thankful for all the burdens that I do not bare.

An old Toledo scale, abandoned winery.
According to this scale I weighed a whooping 10,190lbs.
I think it's time for a diet.

My real weights are actually a horrid chalky lilac colour – but I see no reason why they shouldn’t be in way better colors than that; they’re also very symmetric – which rarely appeals to me – but I backgrounded my less symmetric versions because it all felt a bit irregular...
