Late in the game again with a photo that is a pure act of desperation. Really. I didn't want to skip "High Key", because it is pretty much out of my comfort zone so I wanted to meet this challenge. But I wasn't sure what to photograph. At the end (which means today) a tiny, shiny miniature crown that once graced a pencil bought at the museum shop of the Deutsches Historisches Museum (I've already used this crown in another photo which you can find in the first comment) and another watch (a Casio which you might have already guessed) came to the rescue. But does this image make any sense? I don't think so. Except maybe for the fact that a tiny crown is reflected in the glass of a digital watch that doesn't have a crown, only pushers. Oh dear ;)
OK, so let's skip my unsuccessful attempt at trying to make sense of an image that doesn't make any sense and get to the technicalities: The glass of this watch is double-coated (on the outside and on the inside). Seen at the right angle (light from above aka sunshine works best) it lets the dial shimmer in lovely pastel rainbow colours. But the glass also works as a mirror. So I simply placed the crown in front of it, illuminated the glass with a single LED light so the rainbow colour coating would work its irresistible iridescent magic on the crown's reflection, and took a single handheld shot. Which had to do, because I was running out of time. The bokeh in the lower right corner is the golden crown itself. Processed in DXO PL6, Color Efex, and Viveza.
HMM, Everyone, and have a nice week ahead!
My attempt at the "Smile on Saturday" theme "odd one out".
Shot with a Noritsu "38-60 mm F 4-4.8" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
My attempt at the "Crazy Tuesday" theme "Low Key".
Don't be fooled by the giant marketing certain other fruits have at their disposal... This is a tomato (and certainly not a pipe)!
Shot with a Kodak "Micro-File Ektar 63 mm" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Conditions were perfect: 80% chance of rain and strong winds. What could be better? For shooting osprey, nothing. Rain suit for me and my camera and a surprising a lot of other adventurous souls showed up for the show. The pelicans seemed to being doing better than the osprey, dive after dive while the osprey were out in force looking but not catching much. This one did well however, and one greedy pelican made an attempted steal. The osprey pulled up up an away!
My attempt at the "Looking Close… on Friday" theme "Festive Food".
Shot with a Tamron "(Noritsu) 48.5 mm F 2.8" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
My attempt at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Holes".
Another comet, another hole! Perhaps some remember that I have shot these little decorating things before. They are around 1.5 mm in diameter so kinda small to say the least. That‘s why the DOF is really shallow and everything out of it gets very unpredictable (and thus interesting to me)!
Shot with a Schneider Kreuznach "Componon 28 mm F 4" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
My attempt at the "Looking Close... on Friday" theme "Soft Texture".

Gulls are notorious for attempted thievery which provides terrific photo opportunities!

My attempt at the "Smile on Saturday" theme "Floral Fantasy".
Sorry for the abundance of sunflower shots. I just didn‘t have too much to choose so I decided to experiment with what was on hand.
Shot with a "Tomioka-Copal 106 mm F 4.5" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
My attempt at the "Crazy Tuesday" theme "I Love".
Because - in case you haven‘t heard me mention it - I LOVE MUSIC! I love writing and making music more than almost anything else, I love listening to music, analyzing music, thinking of lyrics, talking about music, looking for hidden meaning or symbols in music, sharing music I love with friends and getting recommendations from them, dancing to music, etc.

Another attempt at visual auto-biography using Leica M8 and Elmar 50/2.8. The image has been cropped (and I may need a longer lens).
One of my attempts at the "Crazy Tuesday" theme "Selective colour".

This is my second attempt at layering. I used two different textures by dog ma, my source of inspiration for textured photos. In my humble opinion......she is the queen. :0) I love this photo of hers......... love this!!
Please give me your honest opinions! :0) This was done using Picnik.
Tayrona National Natural Park - This park is a protected area along Colombia's northern Caribbean shores. Along with it's beautiful blue water are mountainous hiking trails up to the ruins of Pueblito. The ruins were built by the Tayrona civilization.
These Caribbean waters are very turbulent in many places. On one of the days that I was there, a swimmer got pulled out by current undertows. It was touch and go for this guy for several hours. Everyone watched in horror as several rescue attempts were made. Eventually a jet ski pulled him out. Exhausted and freaked out he never got in the water again.
No motorized vehicles are allowed so you have to hike in with all of your camping gear or have supplies carried in by horses
It wasn't an easy task this week. After several different approaches, attempts and smoke detectors going off, I finally decided to roll up paper in a tealight holder and simply burn the paper - this is the result. Edited in On 1 Photo Raw 2020 and Topaz Adjust.
Das war keine einfache Aufgabe diese Woche. Nach mehreren Methoden, Versuchen und Rauchmelder Aktivationen, habe ich letztendlich Papier zusammengerollt in einen Teelichthalter gesteckt und verbrannt. Das ist, was ihr hier jetzt seht. Bearbeitet in On 1 Photo Raw und Topaz Adjust.
Jasper attempts to gnaw on his giggle ball birthday present (he turned 8 on Sunday). The thing is rock-hard so I don't think he'll be doing much damage to it. Apparently it is fun to chase though.
My attempt at the "Flickr Friday" theme "Comfort".
This shows one of the turning wheels on my trusty Novoflex bellows I use to create a vast majority of my images with. I really like the high-quality look and feel - it's a very effective and comfortable tool in many ways, so I think it has earned a little shoutout.

First attempt at post processed selective color. Always feels so good when you learn something new on
Photoshop! - Smile on Saturday - "selective color"
A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views across Convict Lake to nearby mountains of the Mammoth Area ranges. This is on the Lakeshore Trail in Inyo National Forest. while there was definitely quite a bit of wildfire haze and smoke present that afternoon, I attempted to best compose what was visible for an image captured with some nearby trees, the reflections off the lake waters, and then the mountains. I later worked with ClearView Plus tool before using control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 to make some adjustments and bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
I uploaded a photo this morning, 'Storm in the polder'. On that occasion, it was too cloudy to get the movements in the clouds nicely visible.
This afternoon, the sky opened up, so I went again to the same spot, for a second attempt. A lot more satisfying I think!
Despite the satisfying results, I learned a valuable lesson about the boundaries of my (cheap) filter set (Stealth Gear). Massive colour deviation into red, purple and magenta. Only heavy processing in Lightroom and Photoshop saved the picture. I'm anxious for your comments.. what do you think of it?

So this is my first attempt at drawing a full head of hair, so of course I had to pick a target in motion cause I like punishment lol. I always try to do a bit of hair editing on my pictures but I realized just how different is it drawing it all from scratch. Thank you tutorials!! I also painted the fur over the furs she wore because I figured why not go full out if this is going to be so obviously edited anyways. I like the way the fur turned out better than how the hair did though. Gonna do more practice, it's not terrible for a first try but I know I can do better. Practice number one.
Long rant over!

The ancient scriptural writings say that the wisdom from above is first of all pure. Hmmm, that sounds like a challenge. I want to be pure. Pure in heart, pure in thought, pure in word and deed. I think it is a challenge to be those things. The scriptures help me in my attempt to live this way. Seeing the snow yesterday and today makes me think about my goal to have a pure heart that is white as snow and full of love for God and for people. I hope that everyone has a purely delightful weekend. :)
CN Train Q116, with the BC Rail Huuuritage unit in charge, rolls past "Millionaires Row" at Wabamun Lake Alberta. I've been told the cabin owners had permission years ago to build on the lake side of the tracks, and to this day CN has made no attempt to prevent them from accessing the lake. This could change in the future, as CN is busy adding a second track to most of the Edson Sub, with work well underway east and west of this row of "cabins".
I'm sure the lawyers will get richer from the double tracking of this section of line, since most of the cabins are passed down through generations of owners rather then listed on the open market. Last i checked property on smaller lakes in Alberta was just shy of a million bucks, so CN may need to get the big cheque book out to get what they want!
I struggled with this picture. I wanted some bright highlights in the background but the tops of the stalks of grass are lost in the clutter.
This is my first attempt at macro with flowers, I know it's not great as there's nothing in sharp focus but I liked the colours...
It is 45 years ago today when I attempted to view Melbourne's total solar eclipse from the backyard. Sadly Melbourne’s fickle spring weather spoilt the party so I ended up running in and out of the house to also watch the event on TV.
The 8” f7 Newtonian telescope tube was purchased from Astro Optical Supplies in Sydney. My parents were very kind to drive me up and back for the purchase. The tube just fitted across the back seat of the car where I proudly nursed it all the way home. I built the mount with instructions from a book bought at the same time. For me it was a great achievement as I’ve never been a real handyman. The picture was taken by my sister with my Olympus OM-1 on Kodak Tri-x film which I used to develop and print myself in our bathroom.
The white circle marks on the fence next to the BBQ were created by Rod Marsh’s misses as wicket keeper 😉
