100 - Health


Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1/15, 1/4 & 1 sec at f/13.0, +Polarizer

Listened to the President tonight, talk about his plan to revamp our health care system. Then I came across what I think is an appropriate quote for this evening from a great American.

America's health care system is neither healthy, caring, nor a system. Walter Cronkite

The best of health to you all...

Two thoughts.

1.) Beautiful photograph. I really like the ring of pastel clouds and reflections around the boats.

2.) The quote from Walter Cronkite is more accurate than many of us would be willing to admit.

Looks like part of a giant eye. Craig would call that an archetype :-)

The little star from the artificial light (damn light pollution!) on the right helps balance out the composition, IMO. At first I thought it was too out of place, but I think it helps.

96 - Titan - Largest Moon of Saturn

Image
Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1, 4 & 15 sec at f/13.0, Titan is the largest moon of Saturn, the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere and the only object other than Earth for which clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found. 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. Much as with Venus until the Space Age, the dense, opaque atmosphere prevented understanding of Titan's surface until new information accumulated with the arrival of the Cassini-Huygens mission in 2004, in...

41 - Key to Life

Thoughts that combine my practices, yoga and photography; The ancient sages said the key to life is balance. Balance in every layer of our being, but what are we balancing? The answer is the three qualities of nature, they are called gunas. Roughly translated as (mass or inertia), (vibrancy or dynamism) and (luminosity or the quality of light). When I'm able to balance these qualities in me my photography is fun and I get better results. When my images convey these qualities in a way that connects the viewer to nature's dance to balance the gunas I am grateful. Canon 5DmkII, 20mm 1/45sec at f/9.5 iso100 +CPL
