Attempted escape! ;-)))

/seen @ Esbjerg N, Esberg, Region Syddanmark - Denmark

Attempted this night capture at 5 seconds and ISO 4000 to keep from blowing out the lighthouse in the light from the parking lot. Was still able to get some of that Milky Way beyond that was out over the Atlantic Ocean beyond the lighthouse.

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!

An attempt to use 7 images to create a stacked photo.

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

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.

My second attempt at portraying the goddess Ostara (Eostre) for Rungardviks Photo Contest.

The picture is edited.

You are never too old to learn, and she was an almost unknown Goddess to me. I have come to understand that she brings spring to life, is capable of manipulating all of spring's components, and can control and grow flowers with her mind. I think she can wake up the Butterflies too ❤.

#Brush

One last, desperate attempt at getting at least a decent image for our "Brush" theme (after spending half of the afternoon trying to make a tiny brush, made for small bottles with thin necks, look like a Christmas tree).

I've photographed this toothbrush (exclusively bought for macro photography) once before in high-key for a past "Pastel" theme (please see the first comment). And if that was the "A Night At The Opera" version, this low-key attempt is the "A Day At The Races" variant. Or so.

To get extra close, I mounted the Laowa 50mm 2x macro lens, which also means it's a single shot. Illuminated mostly from above with my natural light photo lamp and, stupidly, also from the right with one of the LED lamps, which explains the slight colour change on the right because that lamp casts a more yellowish light. But I didn't want to take yet another photo. I left the protection cap on the brush because I thought it added "something" to the scene.

Since from this POV, the toothbrush's handle was in the way, I glued it onto the table tripod's head (with modelling clay) to get a little more stability (and stabilised the brush's head with my hand). I pointed the camera slightly down to get a good view of the colourful bristles. That's it.

HMM, Everyone!

Or at least that's how many it felt I needed. To finally be able to get the correct picture.

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.

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?

happy wall wednesday!

Gulls line the cliffs on Skomer waiting for the Puffins to return with fish to feed their young..... and mug them. This Puffin aborted the landing attempt and made another circuit of the Wick to try again....

A real grey and wet day....

Processed by a friend who keeps nudging me to learn... well one day :o)

We have red kites flying over our house most days, and this afternoon I decided to have a go at taking an image of one. I have aimed my camera at them before, but not had a recognisable result. Today I used continuous auto focusing and tracking using the hi speed facility, and after some post processing managed to capture one. I am now encouraged to try again.

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...

This is my first serious attempt at Macro. I used 68mm worth of extensions tubes on my AF-S 24-85mm VR since it stops down to f/29 instead of only f/16 like my 50mm prime. I didn't want to mess with trying to focus stack for just the hint more DOF that I wanted.

It's lit by 1 SB-800 which is on it's OEM stand on the table to camera left and is pointed at a wall to camera left about 2 feet away. It's set to 1/1 and 24mm zoom. The flash was triggered with a Neewer radio trigger. A homemade reflector made from aluminum foil is on the opposite side to provide a little fill.

On the Iowa side, I think I'm most excited about being able to explore the CN more when I move out this way. Tonight after I dropped a carload of signal parts in my storage unit, I heard the CN local getting an eastbound warrant out of CB. With an SD60 and creamy light, I had to make an attempt on it. I hit my primary spot here with the old code line, but was thwarted by traffic on my super-backlit zoom shot.

Attempt was to capture the motion of blowing snow in one still shot.

My daughter and I during my last trip to Utah playing around in the back yard. Certainly not professional quality, but had a lot of fun getting the setup right.

Yeah... I was trying to look sexy xD
