79 - Belief



Canon 5DmkII, 70-200mm at 125mm, iso100, 1/4 sec at f/11.0, +12 ext tube

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death

Mike, you leave me speechless. Your image is absolutely gorgeous, your words are incredibly inspiring and your gesture of kindness appreciated more than you'll ever know. Thank you.

PS: It's not too often that I'm envious of an image but this is one of them... I wish I had taken this :-)

The center of this flower is amazing looking one could get lost in it.

I love the "treatment" (i.e. the post processing). It really conveys a deep mood. I like the focus on the core of the flower - it sucks your eye in visually like a black hole. Now I need a spatula to get my face off the screen :-))

96 - Titan - Largest Moon of Saturn

Image

Titan is the sixth ellipsoidal moon from Saturn. Frequently described as a planet-like moon, Titan has a diameter roughly 50% larger than Earth's moon and is 80% more massive. It is the 2nd largest moon in the Solar System, after Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and it is larger by volume than the smallest planet, Mercury, although only half as massive. Titan was the first known moon of Saturn, discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. Titan is primarily composed of water ice and rocky material.

I want to think that's the reason but it's probably not. It is to easy to go back to the same place with the same equipment and shoot the same shot with a different sky. I don't want a break I want an idea. So I'll go searching... I know this is a universal phenomena, any comments would be appreciated.
