I especially enjoyed that first photo misspickle....It almost looks like crisp and clean linens, all freshly wrinkled up....Very nice lighting as well

Well, I like to take photographs myself!

I am no professional, but I am into photograpghy for quite a long time.

I like older equipment; I use Nikon FM camera - my favorite. But I also have a digital Canon 300D.

Here is one of my latest photos, taken with the 300D.

Hope you like it!

Peace.

Sleeping In The Forrst
by Mary Oliver

I thought the earth remembered me,
she took me back so tenderly,
arranging her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds.
I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,
nothing between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths
among the branches of the perfect trees.
All night I heard the small kingdoms
breathing around me, the insects,
and the birds who do their work in the darkness.
All night I rose and fell, as if in water,
grappling with a luminous doom. By morning
I had vanished at least a dozen times
into something better.


Peace

I had a chance to see that first photo souljah, which was beautiful - Great DOF and lighting...

But it looks like both your first and second image are now not showing up....

Hmmmm....weird.

I see them, but I am also probably the only one!

I will try to fix that.

Thanks again!

Peace




EDIT: Should work now! Cheers.

Incredible shot! Did you use a filtered lens, or was that taken at night? If so, the exposure is damn near perfect! Beautifully framed too....Compliments the poem well

Well....A few minutes ago I looked out the window and whaddya know...I saw Banshee, taking a well deserved break from ATS......Sometimes it's a good thing to get banned:


J/K....Not my photo by the way

I took this photo one late winter afternoon, not night actually. Its really a montage of two photos, and the frame is kind of wide scren format 16:9 - motion picture format.

Nice photo of Banshee!

Peace

Ok, lets have another.

The title is The Eyes of God.



In looking into the eyes of God, you and God see all your impurities, all the places you hold onto separateness. And in that seeing, in God’s seeing you with supreme compassion, you forgive your defects and mistakes, you begin to let go of those impurities and all smallness of heart. Let go of owning all the limitations. Let go of being distinct from God so that God sees through your eyes. Bask in the radiance of that limitless compassion, that living stillness.

Peace

Great shot spacedoubt ..."Dreaming of a Carribean cruise"....

I recently moved from the city to the country, and got a little inspired once again to take some photos.....

Here's one from my barn....I entered it in the worth1000 "wood" contest and it's in 12th outta 93! *crosses fingers*


Old rusty metal and some well-used rope always make for an interesting subject....


This rounding pin is dead-center in my backyard.....I have no horses


Okay - These last few ones are some I took at a park that's a few miles down the road....


I caught a caterpillar praying.......:

This one takes in our ZOO - I really HATE ZOO's, but I love animals. I know people always tell me, that animals should be photographed in their natural enviroment - and if I could make a photo of this kitty in her natural enviroment, I WOULD! But I dont have this kind of money. Anyway, I hope you like this photo, and enjoy the poem by German poet Rilke, that really suits it.



-The Panther-
Im Jardin des Plantes, Paris

His vision from the passing of the bars
is grown so weary that it holds nor more.
To him it seems there are a thousand bars
and behind a thousand bars no world.

The padding gait of flexibly strong strides,
that in the very smallest circle turns,
is like a dance of strength around a center
in which stupefied a great will stands.

Only sometimes the curtain of the pupil
soundlessly parts –. Then an image enters,
goes through the tensioned stillness of the limbs –
and in the heart ceases to be.

Such a fitting and beautiful poem...It's actually one I'm VERY familiar with....

During college I took a German-English Translation workshop....This was one of the many varied documents we translated....

If you can understand German, the original is quite a masterpiece, and there are THOUSANDS of different iterations of it in English....Some of the phrases used are "untranslatable"

Here's the version I made...It has a couple flaws....

The Panther by Rainer Maria Rilke
In the Botanical Gardens, Paris

His gaze is through the bars
So weary has become, that he can think no more.
It is to him as though there were a thousand bars
And beyond those bars, a world which no longer exists.

He loses his smooth stride to a more potent pace
He turns in ever shortening circles,
It is like a dance of virility at the center,
Within him a sizably stunned will rises.

Only at certain times his eyelids
Are silently closed with some delay. – Then a picture comes into focus,
A sudden hush races through his tense limbs –
And he hears in his heart the isolation.

Great photo too!
