Patterns of Nature

Patterns of Nature

"Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry." — Richard P. Feynman Who says you can't get sweet bokeh from the relatively small (1") sensor of the Nikon 1 V1? Especially with the FT1 adaptor and some inexpensive Nikkor lenses like the 55-200mm, which with the sensors crop rate of 2.7x becomes a wonderful 150-540mm bokeh machine... ツ ツ ツ *Nikon 1 V1 and Nikon 55-200mm Nikkor ED VR G Lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © ALL RIGHT RESERVED © / © TUTTI I DIRITTI RISERVATI © / © TODOS LOS DERECHOS RESERVADOS © / © 保留所有权利 © / © TOUS DROITS RÉSERVÉS © Do not use my images without my permission./ Non utilizzare le mie immagini senza il mio consenso./ No usar mis imágenes sin mi permiso. / 未经我许可的情况下不要使用我的图片a ©2012- Tom Raven - Toute reproduction, même partielle INTERDITE

Solitude

Solitude, a photo by tomraven on Flickr.

"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more"
— George Gordon Byron

Growing Towards The Sky, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

"Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness."
— Khalil Gibran

Solar Descent

Solar Descent, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

"I am the owner of the sphere,
Of the seven stars and the solar year,
of Caesar's hand, and Plato's brain,
Of Lord Christ's heart, and Shakespeare's strain."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson (History)

Over The Valleys II

Over The Valleys II, a photo by TomRaven on Flickr.

New era, new camera! I have been feeling a little lazy and uninspired lately, hence all the shots from my extensive unposted archive. Now I have a new camera (a Sigma SD15) I have made a resolution to get out shooting more often and post a lot more recent shots.

Nothing like a new toy to inspire a man :-)
