You owe it to yourself to visit this amazing place at least once in your life.  It will reset your internal ideal of sublime.  Sublime in the Wordsworth style.  It will make the mundane be mundane again and the you will want to see the beautiful more.  It was for me as if a film or field had been removed and I could see clearly for the first time in a long time.

walk a timeless warning by PrASanGaM

There never seems to be enough time anymore.  I am starting to think that we just have advanced to the point that we have made it worse.  Simple things seem to interest me more and more.  I am less focused on grand ideas and more focused on just finding the really good stuff out there.  I have started to whittle down the number of blogs and shows that I follow.  I have worked to stream line activities at work.  I have even started deleting games from the iphone.  There seems to be so many choices of things to do, that I have noticed that I need to teach my kids how to prioritize and choose rather then to just get sucked in and along.  These photographers have figured out how to prioritize and focus.  The results show just how well they can see the world around them.  I have noticed that I see better when I can simplify and not be constantly distracted by the pseudo important.  Don't forget to click on the title link and tell the photographers what you think of their work.

XM and Sirrius are now one. That means that those of us who were XM listeners now have the AC/DC channel. Tonight my kids got their first taste of dad being a little different then they thougth. 'What, you like this?' 'Oh yeah, that old man Angus Young can rock!' Eddie Van Halen and Angus Young then Stevie Ray Vaughn. I love them all. Flickr users aparently love them too. Check out these AC/DC inspired images. I left out the concert footage and vintage scans of the band. I was tempted to add an image of Bon Scott's grave marker since that generously included by some of the flickr users. But in the end I tried to stay true to the Flickraid purpose, images that are interesting based on the flickr criteria. I cannot tell you what that is, they have not released the code. It is too much of a competition already to get into explore.

There is a huge amount of untitled work on Flickr. So much of it is really cool, but it misses the searches because of the lack of a title. Hope you enjoy this first installment of untitled work here on Flickeraid. Kind of like Coolaid or Gatoraid, but somehow much more satisfying.

One, Two, Three... by ekillian

One millionth of a millimeter. That is what a nanometer is. It is not a measurement for baking or carpentry. Not even really for machinists or mechanics. Rather, it is most commonly used to describe the wavelength of light. When we measure the wave length of what we can see, with our naked eye, the light is in the 400 to 700 nm range. But what about the rest. I have heard it said that we only use a small percentage of our actual brain power. Did you know that an incandescent light bulb only gives off about 10% of their energy as visible light? The rest is mostly infrared, a good explanation of why the fluorescent bulbs are so much more efficient. Since the most common source for light is thermal, it is interesting to note that we probably have not seen most of the world. Only the part that falls in the visible spectrum. What if you shift the spectrum?

If you can remember ROY G BIV you can get that bonus question on your high school physics test. Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo and Violet. That is the visible spectrum. But what comes before Red or after Violet? Infrared means below red. We can detect those wave lengths and try to represent them. In photography we really mean, near infrared. the far infrared part is thermal imaging. For example, our bodies put off infrared in the 10nm range. So to work with the near infrared, we have to filter out the visible. That means we need to filter in the 700 to 900nm range. You also need film or a digital sensor that can record that wave length. Most digital cameras today come with an infrared filter built in since the infrared spectrum usually represents in the images as noise. Some of the older digital cameras did not filter well, they get used for infrared photographry with a visible light filter applied over them. There is a downside to that, it means that you cannot compose the image with the filter on it. To beat that problem there are companies out there now that will take your current camera and remove the infrared filter install a visible light filter right over the imaging element. With a digital SLR, that means you can compose the image as you normally would, but instead you would record the near infrared spectrum.

Talk about other worlds. It is right here, now. You can record this other world. So of course, Flicker is full of infrared images. And some are outstanding. Remember, when you take a picture, you are recording the reflected light, so these images are recordings of the reflected near infrared light. Not what the objects in them are producing, that is the far infrared spectrum. If you see a person, it is the reflection of the infrared light off of them. Same for trees, and clouds and water. Some things do better for this then other. As you can see, some things get moreinteresting then you could have imagined. It also means longer image exposure times, and still objects work best. But sometimes the movement can really make an image interesting.

7 Lightning Images

LIGHTNING

I like smoke and lightning

Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah im gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild
