Blossoming Orchard

Firebaugh, CA | 2023

The almond orchards here in the Central Valley are starting to blossom. The fallen petals make the ground look like its covered in a light blanket of snow. I love this time of year in the valley! Enjoy!

Dream in Motion

Speed

This first image was taken along Interstate 5 with the worlds smallest mountain range, The Sutter Buttes, in the background. The speed limit is 70 mph, so you can guess this car is doing well over that.

Dieses erste Bild wurde entlang der Interstate 5 mit der kleinsten Bergkette der Welt, The Sutter Buttes, im Hintergrund aufgenommen. Die Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung beträgt 70 Meilen pro Stunde, also können Sie vermuten, dass dieses Auto darüber gut abschneidet.

This was taken at the Merced Wildlife Refuge of Snow and Ross Geese in flight. The shutter speed was 1/10th of a second.

Dies wurde im Merced Wildlife Refuge von Schnee- und Rossgänsen im Flug aufgenommen. Die Verschlusszeit betrug 1/10 Sekunde.

Speed

I took my bike for a ride. The 360 camera was above my head and I had the video function on during the ride. In past production I increased the speed eight times. Finally I cut out one frame of the video.

Same technique than the first image except I increased the speed to sixteen times.

This is another image with sixteen times the normal speed. Enjoy!

About traveling

and about “SPEED” – our topic of the week.

For many, many years I went on vacation by car rather than by plane. Even to countries that are a little further away. Unforgettable the trip to Algeria. Unfortunately, not all countries can be reached by car. And even when traveling slowly, unexpected obstacles can arise.

Im Kreis herum

Zu unserem Wochenthema “Geschwindigkeit” habe ich mir zwei ganz unterschiedliche Bilder ausgesucht. Obwohl beide Bilder mit Geschwindigkeit zu tun haben, wird Geschwindigkeit in den Bildern ganz verschieden wahrgenommen.

For our weekly theme “Speed” I have chosen two very different images. Although both pictures have to do with speed, speed is perceived quite differently in the pictures.
