people ask me constantly how I get my cats to pose for pictures.
I always have to tell them that you can't 'pose" a cat, you simply have to wait until they position themselves in the right spot and keep your camera handy.
Vinny has become a real champ at finding just the right places to arrange himself!
Vertical panorama of 8 pictures
Stitched with PTGui, one for the foreground, and 7 with astrotracer for the stars.
A Rock Wren appears to be carefully studying the artifacts from my lens as it perches above a canyon along the Rancho Viejo Trail in Big Bend Ranch State Park.
Bamford Edge - two people sitting close to the edge taking in the scene. People in the image gives perspective. Like the sky too.
Nowadays, it is necessary to contemplate nature and value everything that it gives us most valuable, especially peace !!!!!
I've been a bit preoccupied with other things lately and haven't shot a lot of portraiture. However, I thought I'd try a couple of self portraits yesterday incorporating the use of my newly acquired Sekonic L-758DR. Using the light meter I'm better able to nail exposure in a shorter amount of time.
Throughout this exercise I started thinking about shadows. My typical portrait style has revolved around minimizing shadows and slightly overexposing skin tones. But the more I shoot, the more I realize that carefully crafting the appearance and location of shadows can help create a fantastic, albeit moody image. That's why I'm going to start focusing more on shadows and how they help craft a captivating image.

Dad, what the heck is wrong with the world?
"You would have to be much more specific, Clancy."
See, that's what I mean.
"There's nothing to worry about as far as you're concerned."
But I feel it, Dad, and it makes me sad and anxious.
"I'm sorry for that."
I should be doing something about it.
"You are, 24 hours a day. You bring 100% positive energy to the world, and if all humans would do the same, the world would be a lot better off."
You mean I'm doing as much or more than all humanity to help the world?
"Exactly."
Wow. Well then, let's get going and spread some more of that good energy!

This tiny Yellow-banded Dart, sitting on a big Amaryllis bud ready to open, seemed to be in deep thought, as it remained there for quite some time.
The amount of street art of various types in Cairns is mind boggling but you would have to live there for a considerable time to search it out and see all of it. Much stretches out into the suburbs and adjacent townships.
This one is called "If we lose the reef, we lose ourselves" by Claire Foxton on Grafton Street in the city. It is a portrait of indigenous elder, community leader and activist, Henrietta Marrie.
Perhaps I should have cropped out the extension of the building on the left, but ah well, it kind of aids,perspective!

I spent the morning looking after Roxy and had lunch with Abby and Rachel. I came home earlier than usual to give Roxy's Nana a chance to play with her before Elsie comes out of school. One gran at a time is enough for any baby! I took the opportunity to go to Grovelands. I haven't been for ages. The sun shone weakly, intermittently and I enjoyed walking in the woods particularly.
I watched this man walk towards me, pass me and then took this photo as he walked away. I don't imagine he noticed me.
