You know your addicted to your hobby when the first thing that you do when you see a spiderweb is run and grab your camera.
Had a lot of trouble getting this shot, since the auto focus would not work (it kept focusing through the web and on to the roof) and need to manually adjust. I was aiming for a shallow DOF (Depth of Field) around the center of the web and spider.
Another of my wife’s beautiful cakes, and as one of the tasters said ‘it tastes as good as it looks’.
I have been working on setting up props to enhance the visual display, here I used the flag and made sure to throw it out of focus.
Today I am at Samnaun (a municipality in the district of Inn in the Swiss canton of Graubünden) another majestic site on the Alps. On the ride up we saw the Italian Alps, Swiss Alps and Austrian Alps. Amazing!
Skiing in Scuol, it is majestic. I will post more when I get back.

Once I had the idea in my head of what I wanted to create, I found that I needed to write a number of Perl scripts to patch this thing together. There are a number of complexities that needed to be solved.
Like all good hobbies, I got carried away with this one.
I got one partially successful photograph of the total lunar eclipse that is still underway.
This photo was taken Sunday, March 4th, 2007 – 1:01 AM (GMT +2).
This is the first total lunar eclipse in 2½ years, next one is August 28th.
Well, it’s that time of year, and we went to Givat Hatermusim (Tel Socha in the Valley of Elah) as we did about a year ago (album) .

Below, a field of Calanit (Hebrew) = Anemone coronaria, also took some photos last year as well as a photoshop version.
The flowering of the almond tree, a sign of spring in Israel, is an uplifting view – giving hope to the coming spring and an end to winter. I think these trees are of the sweet almonds producing variety (there are two forms of the plant).
Still playing with the wide angle lens, wanted a shot that captured the endless rows of trees but at the same time gave detail to the beauty of the flowers.
