Reaching for the Sky

The no-winter we are having is moving things earlier than an one can remember, maple trees are running sap, tundra swans are headed north 7 weeks early. It won't be long before the buds are breaking and the new growth will clutch at the sun. Olympus E-3 Olympus 50-200 f2.8 f3.5 1/125 iso 200 200mm

just an amazingly inspiring event
Reshared post from +General Support – Friends That Listen
Google Plus Hangout Community Gives the Differently Abled Some Extra Mobility- Virtual Photowalks+C. Corey Fisk went on a photowalk this past week with the assistance of +John Butterill.
Corey is an amazing, inspiring person. She struggles with many physical challenges including multiple sclerosis. She cannot leave her house on her own, but with +John Butterill 's camera and mobile hangout capability, she was able to virtually leave her house and take a professional grade photography rig into the woods for a day and select the shots she would like to take. You can watch the video of the photowalk here below.
+Google , I still think you don't understand what you have done with hangouts- you have created the most powerful tool ever invented for people who are struggling with isolation and physical or mental disability. You have reconnected us to a world which otherwise would have left us behind.

Just sitting here, wondering what the sound a single scale falling onto a butterfly wing would make?
I have time to take studio stacked images now that winter is sort of here, this is a 20 image stack taken with an olympus e-1 with an Olympus 65-114mm tele extender with a 10x nikon objective for a lens.#exposedphoto +Geoff Yale +Nick Gatens +Levi Moore

Just Waiting

This is my spider fix for the week, it is a spider I found when I spend "An hour with a Flower" . I didn't initially see it but as I sat there is moved, I think it is a female golden orb but not sure. Any way enjoy.

#exposedphoto "Snow Flake on Grass"
by Mark Helm on Feb.15, 2012, under Uncategorized
I took a walk in the backyard to get some focal stacking shots but I did take some singles. This was the surprize for the day, I did not see the single snow flake until I was processing the pictures, bonus!

"Exposure, What Exposure"

I guess it just the challenge of shooting from inside a dark church out to the bright sunlight that makes us love photography

"The Pink Fan"

I shared this earlier this week in another theme but I really wanted to show it here. I was very much taken by the color and curves of this hibiscus flower, the dew drops where a bonus to me.

I actually shot this Hibiscus flower to capture a spider catching and ant. I saw how good the texture and color was on the pedals and isolated a portion and got this.

All Alone

I don't remember where I took this but I do remember the little yellow leaf among all the drab poplar leaves. It just looked so alone.

"Held on Wind’s Breath"
by Mark Helm on Feb.07, 2012, under Uncategorized
The last of the grasses and shrubs have lost their leaves and turned brown. I saw this single milkweed seed caught and held, it seemed to me the seed was struggling to break free and float off, but it was not to be.
