For The flickr Community

This is for Denis Collete & the flickr community.

flickr chief would have to bring his own vinegar.

The product shot here is using available lights, & it is low lights conditions. These are the real products . I shoot it by opening the freezer door. It is under low light & indoor condition.

When shooting product shot, most often one would be restricted by the layout; space; environment & concept.

The key is to be creative & innovative in any situation. Then you would produce a successful & rewarding assignment.

This shot is done indoor.

Sun lights is black lit & a white hand tower is holding on the left hand to reflect light to the fader & the droplet.

Please spend time to view the image in various perspectives. The details would gives you many imaginations & also you find answer in nature!!

The Dawn of The End - 臥龍

This is @ Wulong; Sichuan; China.

It is a coal fire plant. I am informed that the coals used for power generation in China shall be smoke & pollutants free.

However, when you looking at the atmosphere here, you can see the smokes; smog; heat & pollutions.

Coal have created many millionaires in China those poor provinces & cities. But Coal energy plants pollutants & containments would be the source to destroy China & the world.

Perhaps I am wrong the last I wrote about, my spiritual guru Kong Ming Zhuge Liang never foresee these about 200A.D..

In fact in his scripts, he did mentioned that the Fire is the cause of killing every lives of this world including China.

That is well explained why the bamboos are dying ; the Pandas are dying.

By the way, I snap this on the coach at 3,500m elevation, the road condition is bad.

This is great shot.

This is the 1st time I visit to Union Station in L.A.

I supposed to meet my fan's from Indonesia at the Tofu fair. & decided to take a metro to down town L.A. When I reached Union station. I never let my flickering habits gone by.

So, I start to snap all my way. It is interesting to meet so many young flickers @ the station. They were so happy to see me there when they are flickering. Questions asked were never un-answered.

It is glad to feel the rewarding feeling, when these flickers tell you, how much they enjoys the flickr community & also appreciating your knowledge; skills sharing & personal touch in the non-for-profits spirits.

You feel the achievements; accomplishments & happiness that money cannot buy!!

N.B.

The lights are not as bright as you see in the actual scene. I have used the Corel Paintshop Pro Xi to clarify & Brighten it.

This is the Vegetable fruits & fish Paste filling dumpling. 酿豆腐

Which it is known as Yong Tofu - 酿豆腐. But here I am not using Tofu, I am using the egg Plants, Chili & Okra which also called as Lady finger. Tofu is not show in this post.

The fish fillets need to be fresh Spanish Macherel . When I was in Wales, I used the local Mackerel, it don't work. As it have too much oil in it.

The Mackerel best from South east Asia & Pacific Ocean Coast. When ground the fish fillet, some ice need to added to hold the temperature at 50degree. Egg white need to be added as well. After grounded the fish as paste, it is important to compress it , traditionally, it t done by holding up that paste & throw it to the container & repeat at least 200times. Until one can feel that it is tender & have the spring effect.

Now you can use the blender machine or kitchen aids to do so.

Well, So much for now. Enjoy !!

World Tallest Plaza - Over 1,7XX years Ago - 黃鶴樓天下第一樓

This is the Yellow Crane Plaza, It was 1st built over 1,7XX years ago ( Some time 223A.D. in the 3 Kingdom era) mainly with wood.

From my appraisal, the building is actually built on a 300 -400ft elevation. Physical building is about 8 floors high. The 1st floor is about 40ft tall. Each floor is about 15ft high from floor to ceiling. These total for the physical height without the thrush & the roof part is 160ft high.

When including the thrush & roof it is estimated at 200ft.

The plaza have undergone many ups & downs.

It is still stood strong & healthy @ WuHan near Yang Zi river.

My computer is having Virus attack again with the wuauclt.exe keep showing up, since 8.30pm , I am attempting to resolve it.

I read from the google search, this virus is from Microsoft window lives auto updates program.

Windows errors related to wuauclt.exe ?
wuauclt.exe is a process managing automatic updates for Microsoft Windows. This process continuously checks for the latest updates and uses the Internet to do so. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

Note: The wuauclt.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. In other cases, wuauclt.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm! Check this with......

Certainly, I am very upset like you do with Microsoft business conducts on these low standard of practice.

I am not impress.

According to Gotama, whatever the good deed once do by offering money & kinds would not be excuse from facing own karma due even after death.

This goldfinch (about 3 inch long) that I snap just outside my bedroom.

My experience is that I cannot even touch the lense on the double planes glass of the window, they can hear the sound.

So, I have to be extra caution this round, I hand held it, & the lense is behind the 2 planes glass as well as the wire netting. Thus gives a very soft feeling. This is a in flight shot. Only one shot is taken before he/she land on the plant & have their dinner.

This is a great shot.

Romantic Dusk @ AhBaZhou

This is the beautiful dusk @ AhBaZhou, the original home town of Panda.

The road condition is no good, very bumpy. I snaped this shot on the coach. The pollutants; dusts; Smog & mists & fogs make up this beautiful scene.

My Late Guru Zhu Ker Liang would never imaging his hide out become such polluted today. Otherwise he would have written on his predictions.

N.B.

I am in the most critical danger in this trip, as I am traveling with my daughter & not escorted by the officials. Taking picture like these are consider sensitives issues, it underline many ill practices between local & foreign officials & businessmen.

My daughter have experiences & witnessed many narrow escape that I have to deal with the lower form of human beings.

You see exporting of manufacturing activities, exported the manufactured waste & pollutants to China as well.

China main issue on Global Worming Plus the Green & Sustainability mainly due to:

1. Rapid industrialization of 2nd wave industries to fulfill the demand of the developed & developing nations needs.

2. Increase jobs to cut down the poverty level, after moving into Market Economy. Which they need electric power to power the economy & provide jobs. Which they relies lots on coal fire power. That is the main cause you see the pink layer in the air.

3. According to the research I read, each human being manufactured about 50 Cubic tons of carbon P.A. Then when you compute the total carbon manufactured by 1.5Billions populations. Then you see the actual figure that human produce carbon in the air.

4. Rapid industrialization cut down lots of trees in China & also the Businessmen cut more trees to bring in to China to produce the goods & build factories or building materials etc...

So, as you read all my comments, China polluted the whole world is not because of China do it by itself, it is a highly connected world economy that make these pollutions in a circle & they are all involved.

Therefore, it is not right & no Point to just pointing to China.

The most important is how the Power & Political elites on this world to work together to act together to resolve these critical issues now before it is too late.

Beside China, India ( With 1Billions population & Coal fire power for the heavy industries) is another country that facing the same!!

I hope everyone can see these more clearly now.

Anyway, this is a great treasure shot.

It is like a Chinese reality painting.

Especially the small one, typically the diameter would not over 5mm.

Chili is used as a n agent to get ridge of the dampness Chi in the body according to the Chinese Herbs Sutra.

Most of the Asian people love to eat chili, especially those in Sichuan, QweeZhou; Indo China; South East Asia & India; Sri Langka; etc...

However, too much chili is no good for one health too. In particular the lung; skin.

3. There are so many flickers love to flickr their Camera, even in the near mid-night hours like these shown.

I am very much surprise & impress that so many people busy doing whatever they love to do, courting love ones; shooting night scene on the bridge, cars & transport are still very congested at the mid-night hours.

It is even more surprise for me to found about 4 flickr members asking me to gives some free advise on shoot or flickering on night imaging!!

I am very very impress!! I am sure you do feel like me.

I took this without tripod, the weather is hot 89 degree & humidity is 95%.

These droplets are on the grass of my yard.

It was taken early in the morning, therefore the color is not warm as if is taken at the later of the morning.

The pink color is the rose petal, the color blended in with the grass green very well.

When shooting close-up Macro, one have to attend to the details. My 1st thoughts was to clone out the top right & bottom left grass stem. But I do see that after cloned out, it loose the original feeling of the scene of the nature.

Therefore, I decided to leave it as it is.

Consider the environment of the shot, this is another great shot!!

This is a NaNo project.

The flower is actual on the tree, it was a windy mid noon, th3e brunch is moving with the wind; sun light is unsettle. Camera is mounted on the tripod.

Due to the weather condition. the project took me total 3 hour to shoot 100 shots & select this to share with you all.

ON the right bottom there is a blue petal , I am debating with myself whether to clone it out. But after thinking of the principle of maintaining the origin of Nature. I just leave it as that.

The Title is actual adapted from the Chinese Idiom.

Thanks rainoo for making the correction for me.

This shot was taken at the mid noon hot sun hour. The bee is very unsettle in doing his job. I shoot altogether 60 shots & selected this.

This is a shot I took at the Tofu festival.

It is a journalism; candid; action shot.

She is very kind person. I told her that I have snap a few shots of her. She is very happy, even posed a few more postures for me to shoot.

I am feeling lucky at that occasion.

For these kind of shot, the T-Shirt is reflecting the sun light, while the umbrella is blocking the direct sun.

Thus the whole image have a soft lighting.

This is taken at the mid noon,

Mid-noon sun is not as good for the lighting & color of the shooting.

Can you see the hazes feeling??

However, I arrange the flower at an angle. I do use a white tower to reflect more light to the dahlia. The green color reflections are due to the natural was coating on the petals itself.

I am surprise to found that the purple petals are very hairy or furry texture.

This is a great shot.

I am very upset.

Otherwise , flickr would be the 1st to get the news online.

While ABC, KCAL5, Fox 11 are still attempted to snap the picture & video.

The Mountain Rangers & Police are blocking me to take picture at 1st. I told them I have my rights.

Then I have no choice to back down to the border line that they put up which is atleast 3 miles away from the scene.

You are mindful about the beauty of each & every element...etc.

Then you really appreciate the reason why people spent times at the Art Gallery or Exhibition. I cannot understand that during my childhood.

My late father normally would not attend the exhibition invitation. I always represent him at the opening. then I always finish the whole visit , as soon as the officiating Minister's complete his walk around.

Loving Community!!

This is a NaNo project.

In order to get more lights in, I have placed a white hand tower in between the leaf & flower petal.

To all my fans & friends on Photos Blogging, My advise is when you participate in any Photo Blogging community. As long as you know you have done all the creative & Innovative works before the submission.

Do not border about what the other people say, as an artist, it is not easy for one to developed his own style & achievement in short term. I agreed what Michael Brown - A guru of Macro said; so long you constantly review your own work of Art. & You are confident that you did the best of the Best.

One should not over concern what the other say. As you & only you know what is the best out of you.

Picasso is not known in Asia in the earlier day. My late father have been into collection of Chinese & western painting have not actually mention about Picasso to me. I only came to known Picasso in the Mid 60's by my Primary school Art teacher - CC Lim.

Anyway, this is a great shot.

You may wonder, why I have a green spot on this image??

The reason is , in the traditional painting, the artist would always like to paint about "Balance" & also Nature.

Red Flower always follows by Green Leaves.

Water & Fire

White & Black

Yin & Yang

When these are in Harmony & Balance. It gives viewer a joyful feeling, then it is considered as great art or Master Piece.

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

(first chorus)
cause I am your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
Ill do all that I can

Lost is how Im feeling lying in your arms
When the world outsides too
Much to take
That all ends when Im with you

Even though there may be times
It seems Im far away
Never wonder where I am
cause I am always by your side

(repeat first chorus)

(second chorus)
Were heading for something
Somewhere Ive never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But Im ready to learn
Of the power of love

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear
Suddenly the feeling that I cant go on
Is light years away

(repeat first chorus)

(repeat second chorus)

The road is rather narrow & on the cliff, couple with bumpy road, it make taking picture not a great experience.

Along the way, there were few accidents & narrow escape.

Can you see the castle??

I am told that the river is one of the originating river from Himalaya Mountains & then it merge with Yang Zi river later in Chongking.

Actually, I was a little un-easy at the side of the cliff & the road conditions. Natalie is more adventurous in taking the shot outside of the window.

The sceneries have drawn a lots of WOW!!
