Re: Photos as Usual (4.00 / 3)

Are the arches wind carved then used as a religious site?
Fantastic light composition.

Re: Photos as Usual (none / 1)

From what I remember it's all hand carved

Re: Photos as Usual (none / 1)

It's hand carved. Most of the site has rooms that are more or less rectangular. The rest of the pics from Cappadocia are in here, I think 4 or 5 are from the same site.

Googled the camera, looks like it would be a nice camera for me too, simple and small, but great pictures.

Very beautiful
If I can make a possible gift suggestion, especially for a distant relative who gave you a crappy gift in the past.
Make this into a jigsaw puzzle, you know, the 1000 piece puzzle.
Your image is visually confusing, but in a most definitely good way.

Re: We're in the middle of a heat wave (none / 1)

Yes, afew, since Monday. Too early and too long. I know the Midi it's been hit very hard too. In Barcelona they've reached the fourth highest temperature in more than 100 years, 34 degrees Celsius.

Re: We're in the middle of a heat wave (none / 1)

Yes, we've been up to those temperatures too, and no relief at night.

Storms and rain forecast for all day tomorrow, at least on this side of the Pyrenees.

Re: Photos as Usual (4.00 / 2)

So that's what they're called - there's a lot of those around here and, when I was a kid, we called them stink bushes. They don't have the nicest smell.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes

Admiring the level of detail you are able to achieve. Engaging photos.

Re: Photos as Usual (4.00 / 3)

jjellin,
Thank you very much.
I have to say though, that anybody can do this.
I`m especially fond of your descriptive "engaging".
That`s quite the compliment.
As you may have noticed, my photos are almost always a "one on one"
viewer`s take, me being the viewer.
That I can share them is fantastic.
That you think them engaging , is even more so.
Also, when I say anybody can do this, these are all taken with a little "point & shoot".
Throughout the age of photography, it`s never been about the "eye" of the camera, but of the eye of the photographer.
I always use Ansel Adams as an example of this.
Many people strive for the latest expensive large bodied SLR cameras, yet Ansel Adams had a plywood box one.
He packed his darkroom on a mule & went out to shoot his amazing photos for months at a time in the wilds.
I`m also not, in any way, ever comparing myself to him.

Re: green flash (none / 0)

Being a sunset freak, & having watched thousands upon thousands of them, I only ever saw the green flash one time, but never considered it even possible to capture.
I now have a new mission.
