the wedding
I've never shot a wedding before but I couldn't resist a shot of this bizarre ceremony on the beach. You are looking at the entire wedding consisting of a bride, groom, witness and minister. They carried on into the night and this shot was actually 3.2 seconds long in pitch black (I was shocked that I was able to focus it). The long exposure brought out the blues of the night and gave this kind of an erie feel.

Tears of wine (19/52) - Explored!
A photo taken as background for my husband's project (Marangoni effect). Making wine cry was not difficult, but capturing that in a photo was not easy. With flash, it was difficult to see where the tears are seen. Ambient light helped here, but that did not result in a good shot, as the tears were moveing fast and they needed to be sharp.
This was taken with Canon 500D on tripod, ISO 100, 1/200 s, f/11, with the 60 mm EF-S macro lens. A flash was bare in an umbrella at the back. The metallic parts of the umbrella disturbed, and a children's platic writing matt (kirjoitusalusta) was used for further diffusion. Various adjustments in Photoshop, such as expanding the area on the left and boosting the contrast.

Shadowplay
Whenever I accompany the dogs out after dark, I always bring a light to scan for snakes, scorpions or other critters that might pose a danger to them. I've always said how cool this faucet looks with the shadows from the light so I decided to play around a bit. My Speedlight seemed to throw way too much light on the subject so the same LED flashlight I use when walking the dogs. There are 7 little LEDS on the face of it casting distinct shadows as well as a blue cast.

"hold up... hold on... don't be scared" ~ {Explore}
"hold up... hold on... don't be scared" ~ {Explore}, a photo by PhotographyByUrbanEyes.com on Flickr.
Inspired by lryics from Oasis "Stop Crying your heart out" and a tribute to PC David Rathband who took his life this week.
View On Black
Made Explore #37 4th March 2012
It's been one of those weeks that reminded me how fragile life can be, with the memorial match for Gary Speed and then the next day the announcement that PC Rathband took his own life.
You see for me when I lose a brother or sister to suicide it means alot more than just a news story. I guess for me it's a reminder how fatal my illness really is; Depression for many of us can be a terminal illness just like Cancer or Heart conditions.
However, for most of society Depression/Mental Health is not given the same tolerance or appreciation as maybe physical illnesses or more visible disabilities.
Now I don't want to say Depression was evident in either case as I'm not party to that knowledge. But for someone to take their own life there are two key elements a) Despair and b) Anger.
Most people cannot understand why you would want to take your own life, but if you imagine having an illness that impacts your brain and affects your ability to think, reason, act, remember, care, sleep, eat and live. Then and only then can you imagine the pain someone suffering from a mental illness goes through.
I feel that it's about time I stopped hiding my own illness as what type of influence on the world can I make if I'm concerned what people may say if I talk about suicide?
May 31st 2011 was my day, the day the pain became so intense, the day the anger reared up so strong that I couldn't fight anymore, the day I couldn't see a way forward. After nearly two years fighting it I'd had enough. Luckily for me my poor wife found me in time. To find yourself in hospital unable to walk, see, hear, so sick and ill is nothing compared to the knowledge that your own babies saw you carted away in an ambulance.
Phew, that was tough to share. But I feel anyone who's followed my stream knows I've mentioned Depression before.
I guess I feel the need to share this with everyone as I want to give those of you hope who are suffering or those that know someone some hope.
It's not easy but you need to remember it's about what you can do for that person today! not tomorrow. I hated reading in the press how the Police quickly came out and mentioned all their plans for PC Rathband in the future, but the fact of the matter when people are suffering they need help to get through the next hour not next month.
My moan is not an anti-police comment more an anti "Oh he had the world at his feet" comment. Please remember this is a severe illness that impacts the brain, who can you comprehend these messages when you cannot tolerate the noise of the birds tweeting or the sound of your own children? I had constant headaches for two years, unable to tolerate any noise.
So my message to those of you fighting is hold on, reach out to someone and if you are that someone then please just listen; don't make suggestions, just listen and be there, be present in the moment. And hopefully together you can stand strong for another day, then a week, then a month, then a year.
To my brothers & sisters of the silent illness don't be scared just reach out to someone, and if you're that someone just be there.
So why this image? Well PC Rathband lived in Blyth, and this is Blyth beach where I love to stand in the sea and feel all the streses of life drain away, the waves rushing back made me think of how you brace yourself and hold on, hence it all seemed to gel.
Thank you for reading this, and also for playing your part in being there. Oh and by the way I've been on the up and up since August 2011 so at long last the "black dog" is being trained to behave! He still comes out every now and then but on the whole he's in his kennel!

"Hold up... hold on... don't be scared
You'll never change what's been and gone
May your smile (may your smile) shine on (shine on)
Don't be scared (don't be scared)
Your destiny may keep you warm
'Cause all of the stars have faded away
Just try not to worry, you'll see them someday
Take what you need and be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Get up (get up) come on (come on)
Why you scared? (I'm not afraid...)
You'll never change what's been and gone
'Cause all of the stars have faded away
Just try not to worry, you'll see them someday
Take what you need and be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
'Cause all of the stars have faded away
Just try not to worry, you'll see them someday
Just take what you need and be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
We're all of the stars
We're fading away
Just try not to worry, you'll see us someday
Just take what you need and be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out
Stop crying your heart out..."

Most Amazing High Definition Image of Earth - Blue Marble 2012
Most Amazing High Definition Image of Earth - Blue Marble 2012, a photo by NASA Goddard Photo and Video on Flickr.
January 25, 2012
A 'Blue Marble' image of the Earth taken from the VIIRS instrument aboard NASA's most recently launched Earth-observing satellite - Suomi NPP. This composite image uses a number of swaths of the Earth's surface taken on January 4, 2012. The NPP satellite was renamed 'Suomi NPP' on January 24, 2012 to honor the late Verner E. Suomi of the University of Wisconsin.
Suomi NPP is NASA's next Earth-observing research satellite. It is the first of a new generation of satellites that will observe many facets of our changing Earth.
Suomi NPP is carrying five instruments on board. The biggest and most important instrument is The Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite or VIIRS.

Whoops
On one of my rare trips to Disneyland (shut up) I was riding the Monorail into the park and this little bug kept flitting around my face. I would wave it away and it would quickly flit back into my face. I was getting annoyed. I couldn't have that, I was going into the happiest place on earth and who wants to be annoyed going there. Anyway, it wouldn't stop. As the monorail rounded the Matterhorn, I had had enough. The bug flitted right in front of my face and with lightning speed my hand flew up and swatted it against the window. As I looked over to admire my handywork, a quick high pitched scream left my lips. I quickly scraped it off the window and hid it under the seat. As the train pulled into the station, I whispered to my spouse, "run, I just killed Tinker Bell!"

Blue Whale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales (called Mysticeti). At 30 metres (98 ft) in length and 180 metric tons (200 short tons) or more in weight, it is the largest animal ever known to have existed.
Long and slender, the blue whale's body can be various shades of bluish-grey dorsally and somewhat lighter underneath. There are at least three distinct subspecies: B. m. musculus of the North Atlantic and North Pacific, B. m. intermedia of the Southern Ocean and B. m. brevicauda (also known as the pygmy blue whale) found in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean. B. m. indica, found in the Indian Ocean, may be another subspecies. As with other baleen whales, its diet consists almost exclusively of small crustaceans known as krill.
Blue whales were abundant in nearly all the oceans on Earth until the beginning of the twentieth century. For over a century, they were hunted almost to extinction by whalers until protected by the international community in 1966. A 2002 report estimated there were 5,000 to 12,000 blue whales worldwide, located in at least five groups. More recent research into the Pygmy subspecies suggests this may be an underestimate. Before whaling, the largest population was in the Antarctic, numbering approximately 239,000 (range 202,000 to 311,000). There remain only much smaller (around 2,000) concentrations in each of the North-East Pacific, Antarctic, and Indian Ocean groups. There are two more groups in the North Atlantic, and at least two in the Southern Hemisphere.
