To correct for daylight savings time?

No.  To correct for local mean noon.  Time zones are irrelevant for sun dials.

I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot...

 

 

 

...Painting?

[Bipin 3,403]

Model photography!

Well Bipin, I already conversed with you about the neck thing since you'd asked, but it looks pretty decent otherwise.  I'm not sure if it needs more punch or if i i really like that misty washed out look, to be honest.

 

More abstraction from yours truly:

Liphook station, Hampshire. Interesting town. Had a Canadian flag flying there and a whole neighbourhood had Canada-themed names for streets... I cycled there via Black Down, the highest point in Sussex at 280 metres asl.

So what's the Canadian association?  Something from WW 2?

[AkemiAzula 280]

Yeah I wiki'd the place it was from the wars. Also from Googlemaps it would appear I had been heading northwest instead of southwest from Liphook, which is why I ended up travelling towards Blackmoor instead of Liss...

 

And here is a long awaited for 'panoramic' shot. Taken on the road near Petworth in the Sussex Valley/weald.

There is no doubt that love is greater than money.  I love those shots of Piraeus.  Greece is such a beautiful place.

I have never traveled outside the States but I really want to. My parents have been to Mexico and Canada but I was too little to go with them so I spent time with my grandma.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

^ Well, when you are old enough to travel on your own, make it a point and take a year off.  Tour places you want to go, and see if you can do it for, say, $50 a day.  Of course you could try the vagabond route and work your way around the world.

[airman15 4,113]

I'm hoping by the time i'm 20 and I have finished college I can make time to earn a private pilot's license. Then I would be able to rent a plane and I could go to different states or even abroad.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

^ Hmmm.  Canonical age for a baccalaureate is usually around 22.  Are you fast tracking?

[Bipin 3,403]

 

An experiment in digital lomography and an explosive/outwards composition. I had a pretty bad headache today, so I figured I should make the best of it and create something, in hopes that it would somehow augment my style.

[airman15 4,113]

Yes. I try to keep my goals short term and easy to attain. For now, I want to finish college and receive an AA degree in Drafting/Engineering support. Afterwards I haven't decided whether I want to join the military or find another job. Getting a pilot's license would be a side goal after college.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

@Bipin:  I haven't had a headache in a very long time.  Had your eyes examined lately?

[Bipin 3,403]

@Bipin:  I haven't had a headache in a very long time.  Had your eyes examined lately?

 

I am suspecting it was from the clay dust and poor ventilation I was exposed to yesterday for a 6-hour-long class. I do wear glasses though and I had a recent eye exam.

[Bipin 3,403]

Time for some surreal photo manipulation:

 

 

Enjoy!

@Bipin: that is very clever.  We do have to be careful with stack emissions, but CO₂ is needed for plant growth.

Hey, you got it! The meaning behind the work is supposed to be fairly ambiguous, but this was more or less the central idea I had; the dichotomy of CO₂ emissions as something our world needs in one context, yet doesn't need in the other.

looking out my window

upon this hour 

of gold signs

a sun set

to end a day

todays a flower

to blosim to fall

falling sun 

as golden supple today it was

 

 

 

silence is hard

hard to see

hard to hear

its here indeed

to forget this place

of what

a way to be

past was 

heating all

only to silence 

today it be

[Bipin 3,403]

The atmosphere ingrained in both of these photos is superb; you've really captured the essence of the location.

[AkemiAzula 280]

Well Sir I aint no poet but the photographic skill there is quite good. Must have had an expensive camera methinks.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Or a rather elaborate darkroom.

[AkemiAzula 280]

My great great grandfather had a studio in tottenham. I think film is dead now. Everythingis digital. My samsung however could never shoot that kinda stuff so i deduced it was shot with an expensive camera. A friend of mine does photography.

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

Hah!  One thing about film is that when you developed your own colour prints it was a labour of love.  I'll never forget my first dye transfer print.

[1ajs 49]

just a nikon d70 can pick them up for 200 bucks with a lens these days 

 

as for film i havent shot any in the last year. got 30 rolls of ms100-1000 fuji chrome for my pentax 6x7 witch is e6 slide film very expensive film.... to get developed these days so i use it sparingly

Woke up to 52cm of snow this morning

Back hurts from all the shoveling

 

Maybe another 15cm by tonight.

I have a feeling I'll have a snow day tomorrow, certainly no better in my end of town. Weather like this reminds me of the time our neighbour; a contractor, somehow got hold of a bit too much alcohol and a front end loader. He brought it into the suburb and cleared his driveway with it... and dumped the snow in front of our floor-to-ceiling window, covering the whole thing.

1997 had 4 feet of snow fall in 12hrs i didn't even get a snow day
