Searching for Something …

I know I’m searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night.

Wynding Way: Image with motion

Posted by dale on Apr 12, 2008 in landscape, portfolio | 0 comments

I found this isolated boardwalk at Birdlands in the Dandenong Ranges, Australia. After a few picts I just couldn’t capture the curves, motion and contrasts I was seeing. I tilted the camera and voila … an image with nice motion running down the curves of the boardwalk. Now that’s more like it!

This is a test post using the new PhotoXhibit WordPress plugin. I’m adding images sitting in the ‘portfolio’ sef my Flickr account.

1. Tried editing images in an existing gallery I created in PhotoXhibit but the button was not configured.
2. Managed to edit the gallery through …
3. Tried to display gallery within Thickbox but it caused the entire site to left justify.
4. Now trying the gallery using Lightbox …
5. Lightbox doesn’t seem to want to display any of the images.
6. Recreated the album by using the Manage Gallery tab and then clicking on the gallery name.
7. It works!
8. Now tried to create an album but get nothing except what looks like an error log.

Dandelion Storm

It’s always amazing what you can find when you look really really close at something. I guess that’s why I love macro photography. It gives you a new perspective, a new found appreciation, a renewed sense of wonder.

This was a dandelion I picked up while playing outside with Willow. I attempted to get a nice sharp dandelion close up when Willow ran up and gave a hefty blow sending little dandelion missiles flying right as I snapped the picture.  Enjoy.
