A bit of color for a change. The winter view from Mizuo village on the way down from Mt. Atago. The trees are heavy with bitter yuzu oranges.

A bit of an experiment. I joined a group called The Weekend Ruiner founded by Mr Vanmoer (frenchbloke.vanmoer). Every week you get random items. Some of them are like movie sets in a way -- like a long hallway missing one wall so you can do a photoshoot. This week I got this house. It's awesome. A cartoon neon house.

I had a body I never wore from the Meta-Body experiment of 2011 called Frame Girl which was all lines. I've always wanted to use that body but it's not exactly something you wear out to dinner. It needed the perfect occasion.

And the umbrella? It's raining in Norway. Nope, I'm not in Norway. I'm in Arizona where the sun is beating down on us. It's just one of those random things that worked for me.
Camera and lighting:
Firestorm, as is

Also I added a light on the umbrella

(note: I'll leave it out until Monday night. But Nykus has a landing point. So once you land, look for a round transporter thing and click on 1 to take you to the virtual room or megatrak -- anyways should be 1. Or click this again after you hit the landing point)

Weidebeekjuffers komen vrij algemeen voor langs stromend water van redelijke kwaliteit. In het westen van Nederland zijn ze wel veel schaarser, maar sinds kort komen ze wel voor in de Biesbosch. Recent zijn ze op steeds meer plekken gezien in het westen, ook in Noord-Holland. Dankzij de verbetering van de waterkwaliteit in waterlopen. Het gaat dus goed met deze soort die vooral opvalt door haar vlinderachtige vlucht in de buurt van beken. Ze hebben zuurstofrijk water nodig om zich goed te kunnen voortplanten. De meeste kans maak je langs beken waar het water goed stroomt. Zoek ze daar vooral op plekken waar de zon lekker op het water en de vegetatie schijnt.
The banded demoiselles are quite common along flowing water of reasonable quality. They are much scarcer in the west of the Netherlands, but recently they have appeared in the Biesbosch. Recently they have been seen in more and more places in the west, including in North Holland. Thanks to the improvement of water quality in waterways. So things are going well for this species, which is particularly notable for its butterfly-like flight near streams. They need oxygen-rich water to reproduce properly. You have the best chance along streams where the water flows well. Look for them especially in places where the sun shines on the water and vegetation.
A bit of sunshine makes the Wick riverside gardens look much more Spring like than it did yesterday. Pictured from the top of the stairs looking down towards the river on a beautifully bright Thursday 7/4/22.

Along with a few other walkers along the Kennet and Avon Canal recently, we stopped to watch the crew of this narrow boat try to turn it around. Quite a bit of difference to a three point turn in a car!
I thought at one stage they were not going to make it, but persistence pays and eventually it ended up facing the desired direction. Provided some unexpected entertainment to an unwanted audience!
Day 232 of 365 - Down the Road a Bit
This is a through the window while driving shot tortured significantly in Nik Silver Efex Pro, photoshop and aperture. I am not thrilled with it but I am posting it for my photo a day project.
edit:
Thank you all for all of the positive comments. After sleeping on it and all of your comments and favs I am liking it more. I think this is a case of not being able to see past the original shot (which was undoubtedly awful, see for yourself) to what I made of it.
Small and Smaller is this week’s theme for Macro Mondays, therefore different size of tool bits on black slate. Do make the photos more interesting, splashing water von above, lighting the water with a mirror, beam above the black slate.
That bit about stirring coffee is not true, I'm sorry. This is just a rusty spade bit.
Shot with Sony 90mm f/2.8 macro lens on Sony a6500.

Walrus tusks keep growing throughout its life, so it is possible to guess how old an individual is by the length of its teeth. This one has moderately long tusks, and the scarring round the neck also show it has been in a few fights so also indicates age. The tusks are modified canine teeth but they also have a variable number of rudimentary teeth that aren't used much. This is because Walruses eat shellfish (bivalve molluscs like clams) by sucking out the contents, which they swallow without chewing, then discard the empty shells. Though they sometimes eat other invertebrates such as crabs, shrimps, and even octopuses, and occasionally slow-moving fish. I took this in Svalbard where they are a common and familiar sight. I quite liked the little streams of water from each tusk tip.
The title (Looking a bit long in the tooth) is an expression meaning that someone is getting a bit old for what they are doing. It comes from horses, whose gums recede as they get older, making their teeth appear longer. So before buying a horse, the purchaser would look in its mouth to check the length of its teeth, and to gauge how much working life it had left. This is also where we get the expression that you should not look a gift horse in the mouth. And one final thing, the first time I ever heard the "long in the tooth" expression was from a teacher in my first year at secondary school, more than fifty years ago. It was the day of parents' evening and he said he preferred these for the younger classes because by sixth form the mothers were getting a bit long in the tooth. I imagine that would be a sackable offence today.
Something bit special from an evening out in falling snow.
It is not very often that I get such a possibility to make a photograph where you have already been sure that it will be very special. The mood has something indescribably unique and you need all your concentration to make a photo at all, because this moment is so wonderful and you do not want to miss it. This was such a moment when I stood with an umbrella armed in the slow falling snow show and the passing sun was still showing through the clouds before disappeared behind the horizon. Some kind of magic...
I hope you can imagine something of it, in this shot the falling snow is unfortunately not so clearly visible. Lol... ;-)
Cheers

Bit of luck with the light as it appeared in the last second as 37884 seen passing Melton Mowbray loop with the 5L47 0901 Derby RTC - Ely Papworth sidings, running over 2 hours late 29/3/21.
What can I say, I like this one a lot.. It was a foggy cool early morning I spotted these beautiful purple colors "popping" out against the light green and milky fog. The small rise and fence made a great image.
Bit of a stitched panorama of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. I kind of like the central composition of the tree here, I did consider not stitching as many images together, but even with the panorama it works for me…
Though a bit awkward on land, albatrosses are magnificent in the air. Airborne albatrosses are masters of dynamic soaring requiring little metabolic energy or wing flapping. This mōlī has returned from months of nomadic solitary foraging at sea and will reestablish its pair bond with a monogamous mate through an elaborate courtship dance. Laysan albatrosses with established pair bonds are the first of the season to arrive at this breeding colony in the sand dunes of the north shore of Oahu. Males generally arrive first in mid-November and stake out a nesting site, females arrive a few days or so later. After a brief reaffirming courtship dance followed by mating, the couple return to nomadically soaring over the north Pacific for about two weeks to forage and fatten up for the rigors of nesting. The pair return to the nest where the female lays a single egg then departs to replenish the enormous energy deficit required to produce a beer can sized egg. The male takes the first incubation shift and fasts for two weeks until the female returns to relieve him. They alternate incubation duties and foraging with increasingly shorter shifts. If all goes well, the egg will hatch in about 60 days.
Bit of a damp morning here. The birds still have to feed tho' so nice for me to sit in the dry to watch my garden visitors.
As 66704 sits while its train is loaded at Arcow Quarry, 66760 heads south on the S&C with its train from the Quarry.
66704 has worked into the Quarry on 6M31 from Hexthorpe and is having its first part of the train loaded. 66760 is working 6M38, Arcow Quarry to Bredbury, with its loaded train after running to Blea Moor to run round its train.
14th September 2017 at 1255, nice to be able to photograph to Freights at once on the S&C
As far as the weather was going it was a bit of an anticlimax. Quite overcast and flat.
So went for the obvious minimalistic long exposure shot.

A bit of a murky morning but although there was little sign of the sunrise, there's always potential for an image if you embrace the conditions.

70020 was in charge of 6G65 Earles to Walsall loaded cement tanks. It's the first time I've seen the tangoed 70 and in the sun it was certainly standout....just south of Dronfield.
After a bit of a gap in trains a distant rumble of a freight could be heard. Hoping for a more traditional 131 pair we were greeted by ZSSK Cargo 383 202. Although not the target you can't argue it looked nice with its mixed freight under the Tatras. 363 142 was on the rear banking the freight towards Poprad.
Photo taken slightly early due to a speed sign that has been removed just in front of the loco.
I was feeling good this morning so headed out to Hayfield for a walk over the hills in the spring sunshine. A bit chilly in the wind but great to be out in the fresh air.

Taken a bit too far, for sliders sunday…
hss!
See the first comment box below for the standard version, the original from which all arose, and a screenshot of this version's photoshop file with the expanded layers panel and channels panel.
After converting to black and white in Lr, and cropping, it was brought into Ps. I liked the version edited as usual, but then decided to see what would happen if I slud things further.
I like the overlay glow that is often created with editing for an Orton effect. The first way I learned was from Tony Kuyper's tutorials. At the top of the layer stack a curves adjustment layer set to screen blend mode is created. Then create a merged up through it layer. Set it to multiply blend mode and use gaussian blur. Group those layers and possibly add a mask to the group, and possibly reduce opacity of the group.
I recently came across another way to do it in the Practical Photography magazine. They say duplicate the background layer a couple times but since I'd already done a lot of editing with quite a few layers, I created a new merged up layer at the top of the layer stack, then duplicated it. One of those layers is set to Multiply and blurred. The other is set to Screen and left as is. They are grouped and a curves adjustment layer is added to the group. The line is pulled up and left to lighten the group.
I ended up using both those ways of creating an Orton effect, and sliding opacity of each a bit for this.
Happy Sliding!
