It's wet and humid in North Carolina for many months of the year. Quite tropical really. This wrought iron on our porch is 12 years old - it's about time it grew some proper algae ;) This was a day or so ago when it was raining.
I've been trying to figure out why some photographers here erase all metadata/EXIF information from their photos. No information at all in them. I'm curious as to why anyone would do that?

What is the best Cloud Backup service?
This is what I need:
(1) Echoing from an External Hard Drive to the Cloud
(2) Automatic Syncing (or easy 1 button click in an App is fine, too, like SyncToy, etc) that will only Echo the changes from External Hard Drive to the Cloud
I can use Dropbox for this, but because of the amount of Data I need -- it's $495/year.
What I'm asking is --- is this basically what I'm going to have to pay for a Cloud Backup?
I do not want: Bitcasa; it's cheaper but it is not secure. At all.
I do not want: Mozy/Backblaze/CrashPlan. I don't need a "oh gosh darn it my Windows blew up, I need it all back now" I know how to re-install windows if I have an internal HD failure. I don't need a "golly gee I don't know anything about computers" option. I also don't like how they... more »

Sometimes when it's dreary and you've got a lot of chores and just can't go out, you take photos of what's at hand.
This leaf isn't actually very big - it's just a Japanese Cherry. But I like all the striations in the leaf from the backlighting, it's like microbes in a raindrop - a reminder that our world, our universe, is awesome in the macro -- and the micro sense of the word.
Just writing this post reminds me of one of my favorite quotes of all time - and I don't mean to be posting a lame thoughtful quote with a photo, but it just got me thinking of it; by William Blake:
"When the windows of perception are cleansed, man will see the universe as it truly is, infinite."

Just saw Star Trek Into Darkness this morning.
Loved it! I can't say much because I don't like to spoil anything. But I loved it.
I hear there is a bit of a hubhub around some people getting their noses out of whack because of the "alternate universe" they're using. Well, I'll be up front and say right now: I don't care. I love it all. I love the old original series. I love The Next Generation. I love Voyager. I've seen every film, even the really truly bad ones. I've even read some of the novels.
And I don't care in the remotest sense of the word about any changes or alterations Abrams' has made. I love that he's made it more "user-friendly" and more relatable to everyone. I love that these new films are bringing in new fans. I love it.
Besides, there is so muc... more »

Not sure why Google Music is writing the wrong title of the song in the share here -- but I'm listening to some Beethoven, really loudly and fantastically and just like to share his beautiful Moonlight Sonata.
I've always been a Mozart fanatic - but Beethoven really seriously puts out the goods. Sublime doesn't begin to cover it.

Would have been nice if there were clouds that day - but you can't always get what you want. This is Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge, right about Noontime. Driving out onto this meadow after meandering through a tree-covered bushy and claustrophobic marsh area was delightful. The sounds were amazing - it was quiet in the sense that there were no sounds of industry or humanity anywhere, but it was cacophonous with the sounds of birds and insects.
The birds were wily and fast and irritated by my car. Couldn't get a decent shot of one :)
Some day in the future I may try and take some photos of cloudscape and stitch them into this shot - it's a perfect canvas for it.
I wanted to go driving today to look for old barns/fences/sheds, etc. But they are always on private property. It's no fun not being able to sneak around someone's land to take pretty... more »

Sometimes, so much good/cool happens in such a short period of time that I feel like I am living in a black hole of awesome!
That is the Author of the books that I (admittedly) brazenly pinged in a Facebook post. But he wrote back. 8D
/bouncebouncebounce Now I just might have to like... pick up painting again, just because he said nice things.
Also just let me put it on record (ad infinitum) that Authors are like, the celebs of celebs for me. There would be very little of value in this world without them. We wouldn't have stories, the very thing that shape our reality... just.. they are special, amazing human beings.
(it's not that I've dropped painting - it's just, I'm at war with what I want from it, fwiw.)

Well it seems the fear/worry over Auto-Enhance was a trifle anticipatory. Here is a side-by-side of a photo, SOOC on the left (Straight Out of the Camera)
By the way, it was really hard for me to let a SOOC shot be seen! LOL :)
On the right is the photo after Auto-Enhance and it looks just fine to me. You can tell what's happening; it looks like it's got a mild contrast happening, a teensy bit of sharpening and the slightest punch of color.
(For the camera nerds, like me, that left SOOC shot is 20k ISO. There is almost no noise, even at 100%. I'm salivating over this 1Dx <3)
So really - +Brian Matiash thanks for the correction yesterday - I'm glad we got it sorted and in all honesty it looks like Auto-Enhance is a quick fix that would be useful for nearly everyone, in all likelihood.
I'm still a mega... more »

Okay so I wanted to see what Auto-Enhance would do to a painting - so I painted this, it's just a sketch really, I can't be arsed to spend more than a couple hours painting anything anymore. I get bored. :p
Anyway I could not let auto-enhance "fix" it, it saturated everything too much - so for right now I'm still leaving it off. This is not auto-enhanced at all.
Martine Desroubins from Otherland - my take on her, anyway :)

This was from my weekend ranger-ing last Sunday. Many steps involved in getting the kind of crazy light happening, it involves blowing out your original and pulling in colors in Lightroom with the "Luminance" slider then split toning a black and white copy in Photoshop.
All that tinkering for fun, just to get something a little ghostly and spooky and moody. I find the little sign on it that says "home" the creepiest of all. o_o

Hmmm, interesting new way to share photos. Upload to an album first then share later. Instead of how it was before where it makes the post as soon as you upload. I think I actually like this a lot, as I can just fill my albums and organize and then share whenever I feel like it, from wherever I feel like it.
Good on you again, +Google+ Photos !!
It was tricky today out at Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge. I went right at Noon - the most unfavorable light there could be. I made the best of it 8) I definitely want to go back!

Hey photographers under
Home>Settings>
you probably want to uncheck these two boxes Or just the first one, if you don't want auto-contrast, brightness, noise-reduction settings done on your photo by Google+ automatically.
The second one just will make animated GIFs out of photos in a series. Or collages. Not really an issue.

Another Thistle - today - Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge.
Mostly so I can SQUEEEE at the new Google+ layout OF LOVE. Oh my god, I love it so much, so much, so much. SO MUCH! /bouncebounce
Looks like dragging/dropping still just goes to "Photos from Posts" but that's ok.
+Google+ Everything about this layout is LOVE. It is so good. Just, big thumbs up!!!

Pretty sure this is a Thistle? But really I have no earthly idea, I just like taking pics of flowers, I never know what they are.
Growing wild, Pee Dee National Wildlife Preserve, NC today 8) Was only able to spend 45 minutes there but I plan to go back soon™

After all, is it not the way we humans shape the universe, shape time itself? Do we not take the raw stuff of chaos and impose a beginning, middle, and end on it, like the simplest and most profound of folktales, to reflect the shapes of our own tiny lives? And if the physicists are right, that the physical world changes as it is observed, and we are its only known observers, then might we not be bending the entire chaotic universe, the eternal, ever-active Now, to fit that familiar form?
If so, the universe, from the finest quantum dust to the widest vacuum spaces, does indeed have a shape. It begins, ‘Once upon a time….’
--Tad Williams, Otherland, Sea of Silver Light
I just finished Otherland re-read a few days ago. It was magnificent reading it again. I had forgotten a lot in the last 10 years or so since I read it the first time.

Seen from +Liz Super Cheers earlier today in a locked post.
I love this kiss Everything about it is delicious. It's also how I am kissed all the time, so probably why I'm liking it so much. ;)

OH MY GOD This was my birthday present from my husband!!
It was out of stock so a bit belated but... OH MY GOD I just snapped this with my GalaxyS3, thank you Google+ Instant Upload :D
My delightful loving husband, I can't believe it :) I'm charging the battery right now, I cannot wait to go out with it! Now I can send my MkII out to get the sensor cleaned, muahaha :) I am slapping my 24-70mm on this baby and never letting go. <3 <3 <3

Another shot of my roaming day yesterday. *Somewhere in North Carolina* and I couldn't really even tell you where we were. We just picked a direction and drove. It's become a fun little way to pass some weekends :) Next time I'll make my daughter come and be my model - this shot is just wanting a pretty girl in it, standing on the road.
(Was going to write up a long post today regarding a book I just finished, but I'll keep it to photos until Google figures out this whole "relevancy algorithm" business.)

Saw this last night. The Great Gatsby It was very good. Can't really spoil it, since the story has been out for 90 years. :) I loved it.
The CGI was dodgy in a few places, and that's really a shame - because there is no real excuse for that, but it was noticeable.
I thought it hit all the right notes.

So, this happened. *I recently turned 40* I said I'd do a pic when I did and here it is. I didn't airbrush anything and it should be big enough to see all my wrinkles and spots. My daughter said my wrinkles were all from smiling and so that's why they're still pretty. She is a sweet, lovely girl :)
I think this one I'm leaving up for good. I can be 40 forever. :)

It seems that a lot of people misunderstand the blocking feature.
I'm so well acquainted with this feature of Google+ that I thought I'd give everyone a little refresher course!
What blocking does (as in the image below - I used my husband's profile as an example, since he won't mind and I won't be blocking him LOL)
Blocking will only keep someone from commenting on your content.
Blocking someone keeps you from seeing THEIR posts in your stream, but if you never had them circled, you wouldn't anyway, so kind of pointless there Google but whatever.
Blocked people STILL SEE YOUR PUBLIC POSTS <-- most common misconception.
Blocked people are removed from your circles IF you had them circled to begin with. If you did not have them circled, obviously nothing happens.

Articles like this get zero play, so I've learned not to share them. No one likes them. Or very few people like them or are interested in them.
But stuff like this is where the good stuff is and where science fiction is becoming a reality, right in front of our very eyes. These are the places that I frequent on the 'net and what I am interested in (whom I follow is very different than who follows me, I have your usual suspects but the rest are all historians and scientists) and I really can't get enough of it.
I guess I let my guard down from time to time and just post it. I mean I already posted a stupid Cat gif today and a movie review.

Just got back from Iron Man 3 was quite fun, quite good! Stay til the end credits for a cute little scene as well. Marvel is always cool like that :)
I thought they did a much better than #2 which was a hack job, even for a popcorn flick like these. It is very hard to beat +Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark - his charm fills up the screen with every scene. Enjoyed ourselves, excellent cast, fun script belly full of popcorn and candy.
Saw it in IMAX 3D as well, not sure how much wasn't 3D but it was really lovely.

Yep, Theater geek here. I did shows from my 5th year to one year at Uni. 8 years of my life acting, mwahahaha.
Everyone just totally assumed I'd head down to L.A. - hell, I thought I would, too. Until the specter of actually going down there loomed after graduation. I chickened out royally. But I'm glad I did. I love my life I have now. :)

I think 75% of the time I'm here I write comments and then delete them to not cause issues.
I mean, I warn people right on my profile. I have opinions. (But who cares, everyone does.)
But it's just not worth it most of the time. You don't even have to have a wild/crazy/mean opinion. It could simply be disagreeing. Still not worth it to bring it up.
Do you filter what you say on social media? I think it's a good idea.

Today is Beltane, the ancient festival of fertility and the beginning of summer. I spotted these Domos having a bonfire and so I surreptitiously crept up and tried not to scare them - and document it!

Scanned from my Departures magazine. I thought it incredibly telling and fascinating.
What top photographers really think of Instagram
"It's very of the moment. Fast and little edited and a bit too much all the same thing. Images start to look alike in this context. Posting is a creative output and at the same time an act of self-indulgence. Is it really your moment or a shared Instagram moment?" -Ilan Rubin

So my two posts this morning were impulsively posted - as I wanted to really cover this topic.
My son is at University. He came down this weekend with his girlfriend to visit and to bring some stuff down from his Residence Hall before finishing up this year and moving back for the summer. He related this story to me;
He was walking home from his girlfriend's Residence Hall at about midnight. A pretty fast clip, but just walking. Another girl came down some stairs and started walking in front of him. He was probably 12 feet or so behind her at this point. But realize, he was already on the sidewalk - she turned in front of him.
As they are going along he notices that she speeds up considerably. Eventually pumping up the speed to a jog. Simply because he was a man, walking behind her. He felt terrible. He told me he didn't want to say anything to her to as... more »

So - Posterous, the microblogging service, has shut its doors. Purchased by Twitter they put an announcement that all blogs previously run by Posterous will be permanently deleted and the entire service shut down April 30th.
I had used this service a lot - I always loved how well they shuttled out posts to everywhere; it was the perfect platform for multiple posting. I had all my Beauty Review posts there.
