إِرْهـاقْ (Burnout)

Typically, when it comes to "burnout," we come to think about the humdrum of life and the duties and the obligations that we are shackled to. Yet, there exists another type of burnout; The burnout from people. In such burnouts, you try your best to be the best version of yourself - you try to help, you try to advise, you try to teach, to love, to… to… to…, just to find yourself standing there alone among people who understand nothing about what you are doing, or how you feel - all they know is how to judge you and that you must comply to their ideas. Prolonged exposure to such environment is definitely to leave one exhausted, and burned out, and numb at some point; as if they don't exist, but they live.

Technicality: One quick simple shot that I thought of, and this time I shot it using my modified camera, and 50mm lens, fitted with B+W 092 infrared filter. I was actually hoping to get more colors since the threshold of this filter is low (~650nm) which means it should allow some color in, but that didn't happen exactly as I've envisioned it. Since the light is coming solely from the burning match, I didn't use any speedlites here, and I think it is just about enough for the dramatic effect in the circle of darkness around the set. One side of me think this is too simple and should have more to it, and one side says it is minimal and perfect the way it is; I'll leave it for others to judge. Worth noting that last year (I think?) I made a shot (long exposure one) of a burning candle with the same title, and using a chessboard as a prop. However, I didn't quite like that shot much for some reason.

@RyanFrancis looks like you are right. It's not a pretty sight though. It's a #worm #gear with a large #pitch angle where the column #gear is #plastic and the #motor is directly linked:

That motor could fail locked and you would be sol. For example a broken #brush or #burnt up wire could end up in the winding area between #windings and #magnet cage locking your #steering column. It feels pretty safe though. It would be pretty unlikely to fail.

It was not an easy door to open.

When she did, #boundless possibilities became, the threshold a #liminal space between #illusion and potential. Arctic desert morphed to #tundra upon new #sentiments that #burnt away the shackles.

A pang of pain, an old #acquaintance, told her, it was not quite yet time to #celebrate.

#Fire selects sexual #precocity in pines! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

Populations of #Pinus halepensis (a #serotinous #pines), subjected to higher frequency of crown fires (short fire interval) produce cones at younger ages than those pops that rarely #burnt

Being precocious in fireprone environments is adaptive because it increases the probability of having a significant seed bank for regeneration when the next fire arrives
