I was completely focused on the ruine (see my previous post) and the lighthouse (will be a future post) and completely forgot the car. But when my son went in the car and turned on the lights inside the car. I think it was a sign not to ignore :-)
A completely different type of shot a Corridor with a CORNER.
Over Christmas I actually got to go to a real live Lego Store (Metrocenter in Newcastle(my home town)). And did the Pick-A-Brick wall... they had a load of the tall white bricks, textures ones and black tiles so I had to use them somehow.
Post Processing - toning down the colours and dust/dog hair removal.
This is my oldest son. I'm always trying to take a candid photo of him (like I managed with his little brother), but he's always quick to spot me and pose... Well, at least he didn't make a grimace this time :-)
I completely desaturated the backdrop, because I found its colors distracting, and I also applied an Orton treatment.

Different morning and a completely different feel. Wind wasn't strong but the low cloud had a fair amount of movement and the higher cloud was just sat barely moving.
My tidying up efforts the other day fell on deaf ears. The council hasn't been to remove the bin bags and the fishermen have been back leaving more crap, but fortunately no needles this time. I did however get my rucksack tangled in some discarded fishing line which then got tangled around my ankle and I ended up half tripping, half dancing on the spot until I managed to get free. Thankfully no one was around to see me do the worst 'MC Hammer' dance ever.
If you pixel peep you can see the rubbish they have left on the far bank. My newly found acquaintance with photoshop has not extended to cloning yet!
First thing any wild camper learns ( after the value of a half decent self inflating mat, ) is LNT. Leave no trace. Meh.
Pear.
Having completely missed the boat for Macro Mondays I thought I would console myself with an image for the 7DWF group’s Crazy Tuesday theme. The weekly themes here are always fun and I find it a much more relaxed, friendly and less precious affair than Macro Mondays. This week the theme is Fruits in B&W.
So, a rummage through the fruit basket produced some interesting possibilities. Sadly I completely forgot about the pineapple in the fridge (memo to self: another time).
I took a pair of pear sets based around a pair of pears. I wanted to get a mountain effect and to emphasise the textures in the stalk and the delicate pattern in the fruit’s skin which I thought might add interest in black and white.
It’s a bright day here (and we British will soon be complaining about the heat) so creating some directional lighting was fairly easy with the selective shutting of curtains in the dining room studio...
I preferred this set for the diagonal flow in the composition. I stacked six images to get the depth of focus at this distance. The composition worked better flipped horizontally.
It looked like a bomb... or perhaps I play too many adventure games :)
Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Crazy Tuesday :)
[Directional sunlight from a window; tripod; remote release; hand focused with VR off. Blue paper background (a mistake - orange would have been far better for isolating the background in the B&W conversion).
Stacked in Affinity Photo; tweaked Contrast, Shadows and Highlights and Vibrancy.
Sharpened with Clarity and Unsharp Mask filters. Horizontal flip to keep the viewer on the page :)
Converted in Silver Efex Pro 2018 starting with a dark and moody preset, emphasising the textures selectively in the stalk and getting a suitable brightness balance between the stalk the skin and the background. Selective darkening of the individual edges but no vignette. Cropped very slightly to get the pear surface to exit in the bottom right corner.]
HSS 😊😊😍
Have we completely lost our way? All I see and read is hate, confrontation, war, violence, and total misunderstanding!
Don't we teach our children and grandchildren about love, caring, respect, responsibility, understanding, having the ability to reach mutual, peaceful, and reasonable solutions for everyone? It is time to stop the hate, selfishness, greed, and glee in promoting discord. And the political blame game is making things worse! It is time for the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of government to work together to make this country better, a place for us all to be proud of. Stop the bickering, and avoiding your responsibilities, and start the real work of looking for positive solutions for all.
Love is the only way for us to live and survive!!! And when we all realize this we will be in a much better place. At the rate we are going, we won't be here much longer!
Wake up everyone, we all belong to the human family and we should all be looking out for ALL of us and teaching our children and grandchildren to do so as well.
I am sorry my Flickr friends but I find it incredible that it is almost impossible to read or listen about positive happenings and even if one might believe they are not happening, they are we just have to focus on the positive.
I sincerely hope and pray for change for the better and SOON!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️❤️

Meet Toby.
He joined our household today at 8 weeks 2 days old, and I'm completely and totally in love with the little guy.
He is curious, playful, snuggly, and still manages to look solemn and dignified - at least when he wants to.
His introduction with Henry was uneventful, and while they still working out the logistics of Big Dog / Little Dog play, they are both obviously interested in making it work.
Today, Toby learned the beginnings of "Sit" (nailed it!) "Leave It" (chewing on my hand doesn't make it open but NOT chewing on it does and you get the kibble inside) and "Down" (did I mention he did great with "Sit" and "Leave it"?)
I spent most the afternoon focusing on Sit-n-Stare, where Toby gets a piece of his kibble every time I notice him sitting in front of me and staring up and me.
He now sits in front of me and stares up at me (and Hubby) a lot!
Henry also learned this on the first day, and to this day it's his default behavior - what he does when he doesn't know what else to do.
It's a really nice default behavior - much better than jumping at my legs and the cupboard doors, which was our starting point.
Today's photoshoot was a chaotic disaster - but Toby had a fun, got his meal of kibble (a few at a time) and (occasionally) showed hints of the star I'm sure he will someday be.
Many thanks to Toby's (and Henry's and Zachary's and Beau's) wonderful breeder - Aubridge Goldens - who practiced "Hats" with the litter a few weeks ago!
Notes to self:
1. Hungry Puppies make terrible models (stupid me - I knew that!)
2. Big Dogs and Little Dogs (together) makes a challenging situation impossible
3. I need to wrangle Hubby into firing the remote for me for a few days!

Name: Digi
Show Completely Digital
Breed: Arabian
Color: Bay
Age: 18
Mare
The final horse in our showcase. Saved the very dearest for last. Digi represents something very powerful for me. She’s not just the FIRST Teegle pet I purchased, but she is a digital memorial to a horse that meant the world to me. There is really nothing more to say, other than she’s one of a kind. Special beyond words. And will always be happily grazing the pastures of my farm.
Digi is a retired equitation horse now full time broodmare on the farm. She’s currently in foal to Bae and I can’t wait to see their baby! Should arrive just in time for Christmas!
Don't forget to follow us on Primfeed!
Completely unrelated: Has anyone else recently experienced the problem that I describe in this forum thread: www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157722114197572/ ?
As I stood on the bank of this lake and watched this Osprey hunting, he suddenly dove, plunged into the water going completely under and then struggled several times to get out and when he did...boy!... did he have the 'catch of the day'! I'm sure nearby fishermen were drooling at this one!
It seems like the Color-Solagon enlarging lenses are almost completely unknown, even among people very familiar with a wide range of enlarging lenses.
Thanks to a couple of helpful people here, as well as the wonderful help of the FOMU - Fotomuseum Antwerpen and its library, I was able to confirm that the Color-Solagon features a 6 elements in 4 groups plasmat design (similar to most of the Componon-S lenses from Schneider Kreuznach), but the only real source I‘ve seen is on the "Color Solagon II 60 mm", which was apparently sold with some of the Varioscop 35/44 enlargers! I wasn‘t able to find a single document on the 70, 80 or 90 mm variants unfortunately, but I‘d guess they were made for a different purpose - either for one of Agfa’s Minilab or some industrial application.
I was able to find some of the Color-Solagon lenses, but unfortunately most of them are in pretty bad shape with either haze, fungus or some mechanical damage, so it‘s impossible to judge the quality in their original state.
The "Color-Solagon DII 90 mm F 4.5" shown here is not mentioned anywhere on the internet as far as I could find at least... I think it might be very similar to the 80 mm variant though.
If you know more about it, or someone who could, I‘d really appreciate any help!

Planet ORAN(G)US beaming Vitamin C to Earth …
… To prevent you from a nasty cold
When vitamins completely sold
And wind is howling round the corner
You’re waiting for the doctor’s order
A running nose, the throat so sore
Can’t really ask for anymore
The vitamins – a real booster
When croakin' like a new born rooster
This planet is the drug of choice
For those of us who’ve lost their voice
(being currently in a writing mood)

A completely fabricated landscape! I was testing out a new texture and came across this wonderful barn photo, then added a quasar image from NASA, the moon (of course!), some trees and birds - using SkeletalMess brushes and a premade background!
The Disney Store's just released Toddler Brave Merida 16'' Doll photographed alone, after being completely deboxed.
The Toddler Merida is outfitted with a blue satin dress with gold trim and a gold sash, white tights and blue shoes. All of these items are easy to take off and put back on.
She has a huge round head with a huge blue eyes with a hint of yellow around the pupils, freckles across her cheeks and up her nose to her forehead, thin lips in a sassy smirk, furrowed rusty red-orange eyebrows, topped with a massive head of red-orange curly hair. Most of her hair is in curls, with lots of styling product making it rather stiff and crunchy in texture. Contrast this with the Animators' Collection Ariel doll, who has soft curls (without any hair styling product) which can be combed or brushed without ruining the hairdo. I don't think I will dare to do the same with Merida.
Her construction is the same as that of the Disney Animators' Collection dolls that came out late last year. That is, Toddler Merida's body and joints are all the same as those of the Animators' dolls, but with her own unique head mold, of course.
Her feet are large and flat, with flat shoes. Therefore, she can stand on her own two feet, but since she is top heavy and has a massive head of hair, she is a little unstable unless on a hard flat surface.
She has movable head, arms and legs. Because her hip joints only rotate in a fixed plane about 45 degrees from the axis of her body, her legs must splay out to her sides in order for her to sit down. Her head is on a partial ball joint, and can swivel 360 degrees around, 30 degrees down and 10 degrees up, making for very realistic posing. Her arms are joined at her shoulders via partial ball joints, so they can rotate 360 degrees, and up about 30 degrees.
I just bought all three different Merida dolls from my local Disney Store, on release day. They are the 16'' toddler ($24.50), 20'' plush ($19.50) and 11'' classic ($16.50).
The US Disney Store has just released (on Monday April 23, 2012) various merchandise, including poseable dolls, for Merida, the Scottish heroine of the upcoming animated feature Brave. They are available both online and in stores. The movie's premiere is on June 22 in the US.
Completely, utterly, irrevocably SOOC. For like the first time ever. No time :)
Literally just on my way out, so took a quick portrait of me ready hahaa :) It's hannah's birthday *HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH* so I'm off over to hers :)
I DROVE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY! Mum took me to an abandoned airfield and I learnt that I am terrible behind the wheel, but it was brilliant fun. I only stalled like eight times, but I did reach fifth gear.. by, uh.. accident..
My wife and I recently spent 3 nights in the fabulous Al Maha resort in the middle of the desert, 1 hour drive from Dubai. Each suite has its own private temperature controlled swimming pool, and a wonderful view on the desert and its wildlife (oryx and gazelles), and you feel completely isolated. Service and food is top class. Several activities are included such as camel rides, falconry, dune safari. A few more shots to come.

A completely new species for this page today... sadly hedgehogs here in the UK have suffered a 98% loss in numbers since the 1950's and we are rapidly approaching urban extinction if nothing is done. It seems very sad for a creature voted the UK's favourite mammal...
Highlights completely blown but I still like this and it'll do 'till I have a chance to get back to Fountains Abbey and do it again.
When I reached the campground at Rae Lakes, the sky was completely blotted out by the rain clouds and the gales of winds were howling through the lake nonstop. The winds not only made me shiver from its chill factor but also spoiled my attempt to capture clear reflections of Painted Lady and Glen Pass. It was so cold that I had to fetch my 15 degree sleeping bag and bundle myself up in it.
This is a scene from Sarah Seely's production of "How To Disappear Completely." Based on hearsay, nostalgia, and only the finest in American propaganda, "How to Disappear Completely" is a satirical romp through the Cold War, Red Scare, and life in fear of... the bomb. From the desk of Sarah Seely invites you to spend a moment away from the unprecedented consumerist frivolity of today's war-faring United States to take a trip back in time to mid-20th century America - an era when, in the shadow of nuclear annihilation, families bar-be-qued on backyard patios, mothers shopped for the latest in space age home management technology, and everyone tried to keep up with the Joneses. At times bawdy and hysterical, alarming and outrageous, "How to Disappear Completely" incorporates elements of dance, theater, burlesque, video, and just a touch of audience interaction into a series of vignettes set in cocktail parties, war trenches, and grade school classrooms. Cleverly placed advertisements along with the hit music of the day provide the feel and comfort of the classic television you grew up with, and the safety of knowing that while the mushroom clouds are bursting forth outside your bomb shelter, you too can keep a positive attitude and a winning smile. Written and directed by Sarah Seely. With excerpts from “Duck and Cover” by Archer Productions, Inc. and the U.S. Federal Civil Defense Administration, 1951. Choreographed by Sarah Seely in conjunction with the performers. Performed by Amy Baumgarten, Jonathan Ciccarelli, Adam MacLean, Brian Maloney, Flanagan Smith, Moira Stone, and Julie Turner. Music by Patrik Phalen. Video by Nicky Enright. [Photography by Dominique James. Copyright © 2008. All rights reserved. For authorized use only.

A lovely chamois observes me into the night, perhaps rightly wondering "what the heck he is doing, here, at this hour?" :-) ... while the moon begins to rise between Mount Giusalet (3.313 m) and Dents d'Ambin (3.372 m), Savoie, France.
It's impossible to try to explain in words, but the company of these animals at high altitude is something indescribably precious.

Thanks for all your comments and faves, much appreciated as always.
The clouds were just awesome last night. I was completely exhausted by the time I'd taken this, so it's going up tonight instead.

Hello Everyone and a wonderful Saturday to you all. :) What a crazy week it has been, mostly at RL work doing things preparing for end of year. So I have been completely tied up and not in the fun way :P with work and baby sitting my sister's children in the evenings as she goes overboard on her to do lists. Though tiring I always find helping out is a joy to me, being needed by others and being able to be there for them, even if all one is doing is making homemade pizza and watching tv with your nieces and nephews for a few hours.
I realized it has been almost a week since I have uploaded a photo, I try to upload one every two or three days, but the holidays being what they always are time ran away from me, so I determined this morning to work on some older photos and to do a set of photos from various fans. :) One of which is a request of myself draped or laying across a car in an erotic pose, dressed in a sweater and leather skirt, sounded like a very simple photo so I went to one of my favorite photo places and took a few shots and doing a fairly quick edit, I used a photo plugin for the vignette in Lightroom and a few more tweaks and all done.
A big thank you for the fan request, I appreciate you taking the time to send one and I apologize for taking so long. :)
Have a wonderful Saturday everyone and go easy on the vodka and thank you all again for your lovely support and for allowing me to share my photos with you!
XOXO,
Hildda

Geheel buiten mijn comfortzone, en het is dan vermoedelijk een eenmalig zijstapje.

► █░▓ ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈ INVICTUS I / ʀᴀɴsᴛ - ʙ, commercial inland vessel, rushes downstream against the setting Sun. Taken 25 minutes before the astronomical sunset. It was a very nice clear sunny afternoon altogether, but a large cloud front above the North Sea blocked the actual sunset during the last 15 minutes. The whirlpool at the tip of the goyne is a natural phenomenon and exactly the reason why the area around is by no means advisable for the swimmers.

(© 2009 Príamo Melo) Sunrise in Botafogo neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Aren't clouds fascinating? They're capable of changing completely a landscape shot like this one :-) ! Try to imagine this scene with a cloudless sky... (Tomorrow I'll post a color version of it).

This is the original lighthouse at the original location.
Several years later found out that it had been moved completely; re-located to another area of the town that is not as inspiring or beautiful as this one. So glad I was able to capture this iconic shot !!
There were apparently only 2,000 monks in 1959.
Ganden Monastery was completely destroyed by the People's Liberation Army during the 1959 Tibetan uprising. In 1966 it was severely shelled by Red Guard artillery, and monks had to dismantle the remains. The buildings were reduced to rubble using dynamite during the Cultural Revolution (1966–76). Most of Tsongkhapa's mummified body was burned, but his skull and some ashes were saved from the fire by Bomi Rinpoche, the monk who had been forced to carry the body to the fire.
Re-building has continued since the 1980s. Early in 1996, after a ban had been imposed on pictures of the Dalai Lama, 400 monks at Ganden rioted. They were fired upon by PLA troops, apparently causing two deaths and several injuries, followed by the arrest of one hundred monks. As of 2012 there were about 400 monks, and rapid progress was being made on rebuilding the monastery. The red-painted lhakang in the centre is the reconstruction of Ganden's sanctum sanctorum containing Tsongkapa's reliquary chorten called the Tongwa Donden, "Meaningful to Behold."
This cinema is completely done in a blocky streamline style, and looks like the bridge of an ocean liner. The vertical marquee is a tall rectangle with a cap, set on one corner of the buiding. The service ladders on either side only enhance the nautical impression.
Totality....
The clouds completely obscured the most talked about celestial event of my lifetime, I had never witnessed a total solar eclipse and this was the opportunity of a lifetime for me.
The disappointment was palpable and I was a little saddened as I knew I may never have this opportunity to photograph it again.
It got very dark vary fast, the birds were acting oddly and some of them seemed confused as to what was happening. I noticed this robin who flew directly over our heads and landed in a tree just behind us I took this shot of him.
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

I COMPLETELY redid my Warlock. In fact, this is a completely new figure, completely sculpted again of course. The weapon is a combination of numerous Rifles I'v seen in videos, this also has custom sculpted parts.
This one has armour that is based off this concept art image, of course I gave it a personal twist. img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130425201650/halofanon/imag....
