[Fotografie] E noapte in Bucuresti

Liana Mitroi — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 09:07:07 +0000

Aseara am fost prin Bucuresti (zona Selari, Lipscani) sa fac cateva poze pe timp de noapte, ca sa si testez ce poate aparatul meu. Pot sa zic ca la cat nu stiu eu inca sa-l folosesc la capacitate maxima au iesit niste poze superbe, unele din ele chiar neasteptat de bune. De unde ajung la concluzia ca e un aparat bun si nu regret ca am dat banii pe el. Si uite cum am gasit eu cuvinta sa petrec o seara de miercuri, dupa vreo 9 ore de munca. Bine’nteles fara tocuri !
Au iesit o gramada de poze, cele mai bune sunt cele de mai jos.
Zona…inca nu este ce ar trebui sa fie, mai e muuult de lucru pana sa ajunga la niste standarde. Pe Lipscani inca se circula pe niste podisti de lemn, ce stau sa cada, cascate peste sapaturile si mizeria de acolo. Localurile sunt in mare parte de fitze deci nesimtit de scumpe, dar gasesti si ceva micut si ieftin unde sa bei un vin fiert sau o ciocolata calda. Sunt foarte multe magazine, unele extrem de interesante (abia astept sa ma duc cand vor fi deschise); am gasit un loc unde aveau basmale gipsy, alt loc cu haine unicat (ieftine pentru designul si calitatea oferita) si cercei vintage si multe multe alte magazine pe care nu le voi rata. Abia astept sa iau salariul si sa fac o tura de shopping pe acolo.
Am incheiat seara cu un vin fiert cu scortisoara si frig !
Enjoy the photos !

Extreme Makeover

melvinphoto — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:13:02 +0000

As many of people probably know, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition came to Buffalo earlier this month. The home rebuild happened around the block from me, and for a week our neighborhood was bustling (even more than usual).

On Friday, November 13th, a bunch of West Side residents and PUSH Buffalo got together to celebrate a new park built by volunteers during the Makeover week. Here are some photos from that day:

The amazing PUSH members from top to bottom: Maxine Murphy, Chevy Garcia, and Jen Mecozzi. Jen and Maxine are also on PUSH’s board of directors.

Hello there

epop — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:27:55 +0000

I just recently acquired a Nikon D60 dslr. i am an extreme novice at picture taking but i love doing it. i know the very basics at this point and really do want to learn more about it other than just fiddling until a picture looks semi alright. I am also an TOTAL novice at photoshop. i cant seem to figure it out very much at all but i am trying dammit. you’ll see a few tries to mess with settings soon. its not like i have a tablet, anything i do right now is with mouse.

I live in New York. I am 23. I am surprisingly happy most of the time. Of course there are the darker times but everyone has that right? “You cant be happy if you are pretending” (Ender in Exile, Orson Scott Card). I’m fairly even keeled with minor quirks and hiccups in the grand scheme.

This will primarily be a blog devoted to pictures that i have taken or have been tweaking on photo shop. Be kind, seeing as how i am learning as i go.

Little darling it seems like years since it's been clear.

I went to Liverpool for work a few weeks ago. Despite some pretty picture opportunities, it didn’t leave me with a positive impression overall. The International Slavery Museum and the Liverpool docks in general really did stir the history student in me. However, the three people with whom I was walking around – born in Bolivia, Colombia and Afghanistan, respectively – were treated very badly; they were bashed into and stared at. Whereas in London I feel anonymous, in Liverpool I felt heavily scrutinised. The trip made it very clear that I have been spoilt in the London bubble, despite my occasional despair at its everyday aggressiveness (…on the rush hour train, in queues, etc).

rapa nui (iv) - orongo y rano kau

Jorge López — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:32:29 +0000

Orongo es una aldea ceremonial ubicada en el borde del cráter del volcán Rano Kau, siendo el centro del culto del hombre pájaro o Tangata Manu, desarrollado hasta mediados del siglo XIX: En orden a obtener beneficios especiales para su tribu durante un año, los isleños competían bajando el pronunciado acantilado de 250 metros, para luego nadar hasta un islote donde tenían que obtener el huevo del pájaro manutara y traerlo de vuelta a salvo a la aldea.

La aldea ceremonial de Orongo fue una manifestación posterior a los más conocidos moais, y en algún momento ambos cultos habrían entrado en conflicto, pero los cómo, cuándo y por qués se mantienen en silencio. A nosotros no nos queda más que mirar ahi, cerca del abismo, y admirarnos.

Wednesday theme: baby!

Once again I thought Wednesday was Tuesday, and missed my Theme day post. Oh well, I’m posting anyway. Take that, internet.

The above photos are from a visit we had last week with Sean’s sister Erin (pictured on the right in the second photo), her husband Rene, and their new baby boy Sam. We call him Crash.

Wednesday Theme: Candid Portraiture

melvinphoto — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:00:31 +0000

This new series I’m starting was really inspired by the first photo. I guess you can call them candid, but I just want to call them real. They make me realize some things I’ve never taken time to see -

-That I can connect with many other people

-That the best smile I’ve seen is a few hours away

-That I was once a dinosaur

I really hope I never go blind, I would dread never seeing my favourite pictures, people and smiles again.

rapa nui (iiib) anakena

Jorge López — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:06:42 +0000

Ubicada en el extremo opuesto Hanga Roa, el centro poblado de la isla (aún cuando esto no signifique más de 18 km de distancia), y sin mayor presencia humana que algunos puestos de comida y artesanías, pero que no son visibles desde la playa, Anakena es un pequeño paraíso, resguardado por los moai del Ahu Nau Nau, el conjunto en mejor estado de conservación de la isla.

Todo llama al descanso, aún cuando algunos sólo tengamos una hora para hacerlo.

Pero ya volveremos por más.

My Morning Coffee Dates with God ~

hopeannfaith — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:59:01 +0000

My Coffee with God...

Each morning I spend time in God’s Word. Either through a devotional/motivational, scripture verse e-mails, personal prayer book or journal scriptures. God is faithful to point out, very clearly, which one of these He would have me focus on for the day. I am obedient to this guidance and focus by His direction.

I realize, these many, many months later that this new discipline has mightily improved my daily outlook and outcome: Here is my FB post this morning:

Morning Coffee with God~ Spending mornings with God and His Word has mightily improved my daily outlook and out come. I am contemplating making a blog for this new part of my day! ♥ Father, I call to You in my days of trouble and You continually deliver me. I will honor&glorify You, alone. I rejoice, You draw me close… to You and out of the darkness. I confess&praise You, my Lord. Amen. Good morning loves♥

As the remnants of Hurricane Ida, blow outside my window, this fine morning, I feel no anxiety. The prayer above came from my prayer focus of late. Glorifying the name and personage of Father God. For this I have been using my personal prayer-book. Prayers that avail much written by Germain Copeland. I also diligently pray only scripture.

The weather is a concern for us here in Hutchland, we are awaiting a new roof. This weather has, in the past, struck terror in my heart. Fear of my husbands angry tension, of damage…just fear of the effects of ‘mother nature’. Not to recently, God let me know that He had this issue in hand. My husband, a very different man these days, no longer stresses or gets angry at ‘mother nature’.

God has confirmed that the fix is on the way, now it is simply a matter of scheduling. And Ida (or should I say, the enemy) would like for me to delay the scheduling by getting in to doubt and unbelief.

NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!! GOD’S PROMISES ARE INTACT AND ARE NOT EFFECTED BY WHAT I SEE, HEAR OR FEEL.

Therefore, I have come to a place, by grace, where I realize I am not effected in this situation, not emotionally or intellectually. I am amazingly peaceful here. It is such a blessing.

The Effect of Tropical Storm Ida

The wind and rain of the last day have had no appreciable effect on our home or our outlook. I must give all the honor and glory for this to God, alone.

As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15

These scriptures will help you pray in a manner that glorifies God according to the Word.

Romans 12:1 Matthew 25:21

Good Morning Loves

I wandered around Brick Lane the other week with a couple of friends. We found an amazing ukelele shop but I was too awestruck to remember to take any photos. I’ll have to venture back! I’m looking for a good ukelele in the hope of rekindling an interest in playing music again. There were sparkly ones, so this plan might work. A degree in politics may have just ruined me for anything creative, but we shall see!

See this article comparing image quality between the Nikon D700 and the Nikon D60 cameras.

The test was done in controlled lighting with similar lenses.

There are crop shots at one hundred percent of the the central part of the photographs for detailed comparison.

rapa nui (ii) - te ra'ai

Jorge López — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:53:41 +0000

Te Ra’ai es un restaurante donde la agrupación cultural Haha Varua, dirigida por Víctor Ika, realiza un atractivo trabajo de acercamiento del turista a las costumbres, tradiciones y ritos del pueblo rapanui, partiendo por mostrar y compartir con el público el arte de la pintura corporal (Takona), para proseguir con con el curanto ceremonial o Umu Ta’o (cocción de carnes, pescado y verduras en un hoyo sobre piedras volcanicas calientes), posterior cena y luego presentación de música y bailes rapanui, con explicaciones en inglés y español del significado de las danzas y de sus instrumentos, así como de otros elementos de su cultura, como los moai, el ‘Ao (remo de mando), o el Kai Kai (juego de hilos).

I have stepped out in faith and entered one of my favorite photos in a weekly photography contest at:

Gull-zilla

I googled http://www.weeklyphotocomp.com/ and found no negative information…Check out the site, this could be very fun and possible lucrative. At the least it is exposure for my amature photography.

Have Fun & Blessings…
