For our Camera Club monthly project: March - Using Flash.
After playing around with the settings on a flash unit, it was set up on a remote-to-camera cable to the side of a joss stick set in a drilled hole in a piece of wood with a backing of black art paper. The flash unit also had a home made black snoot fitted to concentrate the light on the subject and to eliminate unwanted light flare.
Taken with my Canon EOS 7D and Canon EF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens and framed in Photoshop.

Where The Journey Begins

The purpose of bonfire nights and the similarities between firework designs deliver an overwhelming message to display fireworks at different locations across England.
The technology of long-time exposure captures the momentary and timescale that disappears and turns the now into our history, making it memorable, readable, and appreciated by the audience.
The beauty of fireworks flashes in front of the naked eyes for a momentary sensation. The sound of fireworks brings excitement, adding to the majestic notion of a large fireworks display.
The fireworks share temporary beauty to light up the sky at night, illuminating the blackness with colours. The audience temporarily forgets the past as well as the future, but concentrates on the moment of now, to witness every second to come and to pass, remembering and video capturing the valuable seconds of fireworks that won't reappear again.
How many seconds of the colour of darkness do we choose to concentrate on and remember, how many seconds of beauty flash in front of us to remind ourselves of the beauty that may fade away if we have chosen to forget, leaving the sky in the darkness?
The technological advancement captures the moment of beauty which lasts forever in the imagery picture, each line of beauty represents the memory of time and seconds we have witnessed to excite our sensation from the now to the past before becoming the moment of history. The pictures illuminate the night with light and beauty to forever defect the darkness with colours and joy.

Hi everyone!!!
Here's an image from the previous shoot with Kennedy Marie which was a bit of a last minute thought from our wonderful MUA - Ella May and is an emulation of a similar style of makeup as a high fashion shoot she had been admiring.
We threw the fluffy jacket into the mix to keep focus on the face...hopefully it works!!!
How can I sneak away with him looking and go eat that plant. Hmmm. There's only a few left. I'm so proud I was able to eat those trees (Yes, you heard him, trees).
-----------------------------------
Not mauled, chewed or ripped up. Gone. Just the pots they were in and dirt. No roots. He ate the cactus, the succulent, a couple of little trees (about 3 feet high) thorns and all. Some bushes, shrubs, a lizard (found it's foot), rocks (I pick up is poo so I know). And then, because he can't go outside after 10 am, it's too hot and the ground alone would burn him, he comes in and passes by his dog food to eat the cat's food.

Daily Dog Challenge: Concentration
stay focus, concentrate....lol, have you lost your patience? An apple a day keep you smile and stays cool.
This KMZ Iskra is yet another Russian camera "inspired" by another great one, the 1954 Agfa Super Isolette. The problem with Russian cameras for me isn’t that they aren’t any good, but rather it is finding one in good condition, and in the USA. I’m happy to say that this had met both of those criteria!
I sold this camera a couple of years ago. I had decided to rid myself of all my Russian and East German models, simplify my collection and concentrate on the ones I love best.

Sometimes we lose context in our critiques and judge these vintage cameras like they are new models on the shelf. It shouldn’t matter now what the comparisons were between them 50 to 100 years ago, or how they may compare to cameras made today. Now they are all beautiful collector items and an important part of history!
Whilst we concentrate on the vehicles, its often forgotten how the architecture from halcyon days of public owned transport is alive in our municipal areas. Constantine Road has been in use since 1903 (rumour has it @crewcastrian was at the opening ceremony...) and still provides a functional garage for the Ipswich fleet in a central location. 41 is seen reversing onto one of the inspection pits for a routine check.
"If you want to touch the sky
Just put a window in your eye.
See the sun and see the rain
See the window, see the pain"
"Gold is the sky, in concentrate
power in its purest state
Power will rise, power will fly
Through the window
Through your eye"

No filters, no photoshopping, it just came out like this with the light and rain. I love it! Best viewed large to see the raindrops. Taken near Caroy Jetty on Skye.
