Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness and color and a time of maturity; but it is also breadth, and depth, and distance. What man can stand with autumn on a hilltop and fail to see the span of his world and the meaning of the rolling hills that reach to the far horizon?

These fragile Cyclamen flowers bloom every year on a hillside near our home. As I took a second look (no pun intended) at these two beauties of nature, I realized that they resembled Lorgnette glasses.
This bit of lorgnette history is courtesy of Wikipedia....
"From its invention to around the 17th century, corrective eyeglasses were mainly for the use of men. It was not common practice for women to use optical aids unless they were to partake in specific activities or tasks in which they were required to use them such as sewing or reading. Women wearing spectacles in public was also not considered attractive.
Following the introduction and popularisation of the lorgnette, women became more involved with the use of optical aids. The lorgnette enabled women to view their surroundings clearly, but it was also used for social and decorative purposes. A large portion of the social life of European ladies involved the observation of the people around them, especially the attendance of others at events such as opera or theatre. The lorgnette was part of the elegant games of high society. The use of lorgnettes allowed women of high society to easily scrutinize objects of interest without directly facing their subject."
Is she a cutie or what? I added a rare self portrait of me too.

❤️ A picture definitely taken in Spring, but could easily be mistaken for Autumn! It always fascinates me how the sunshine has the power to change the perspective of a photo, and (even in the absence of pretty colour flowers), I’m thinking in a good way.:). Hope you agree.
Hi, how are you all? Doing good I hope. My corrective eye surgery I’m happy to report went well! Far exceeded my expectations.
I’m not there yet however, but unless you’ve got a few hours to spare (who has!!) I’ll be brief and say it’s ongoing.
So I’m back, as best I can :-). And although I won’t (can’t) spend time responding individually to comments, you can be sure I always read and appreciate every single one! and so thankful and humbled.
I’ll do my best to visit the stream of each and every one of you, however long it takes me. ❤️
First of all, sorry im so far behind with getting to your pictures...I will try to catch up. This is the walkway in the rose garden in Birmingham Botanical gardens.

Nobody could catch a cold by the sea; nobody wanted appetite by the sea; nobody wanted spirits; nobody wanted strength. Sea air was healing, softening, relaxing - fortifying and bracing - seemingly just as was wanted - sometimes one, sometimes the other. If the sea breeze failed, the sea bath was the certain corrective; and where bathing disagreed, the sea air alone was evidently designed by nature for the cure.

Thank you for being friendly and kind enough to visiting and commenting on my works!.
Back to my HDR work. I didnt set out to get this shot but it seems that my best shots are unplanned. I couldn't pass this up due to the lighting and sky.

The dried fruit of P. alkekengi is called the golden flower in the Unani system of medicine, and used as a diuretic, antiseptic,
liver corrective, and sedative
It is a popular ornamental plant, though it can be invasive with its wide-spreading root system sending up new shoots some distance from where it was originally planted. In various places around the world, it has escaped cultivation. It has food and medicinal uses
A celebratory image for the art of pano-sabotage ( Rogue Pano, Glitch Pano, etc ), possibly in it's last days as an art form due to software changes at Apple.
Pano, for short, is a new photographic art form that began to appear around 2012 but really burst into the scene around the world, virtually simultaneously in 2014.
Now, as feared all these years, Apple has changed the software 'mistake' or 'failure' that allowed this form of Art to appear and be pushed by innovative and skilled practitioners in many different countries. The software 'upgrade' now fixes the very 'problem' that makes this medium possible, thereby quite possibly putting an end to a unique form of expression. Efforts are now being made to flood Apple with requests that they include in their next iOS update the option to 'override' this corrective feature.
Here on Flickr the group "PANO-Vision", co-created by Paul Ewing and myself has been alive and running since 2015. If anyone wishes to add their voice to the growing numbers of Artists who have made this new, 21st century medium their main Artistic practice they can go the "PANO-Vision" and get the contact information and details from the Discussion "The End of Pano Photography?"

I like the way these look Large On Black...
Another rainy & dreary afternoon here, and I'm feeling kind of blue... but I hope this brightens your day!

I myself came to faith slowly through a process of doubt; I find it hard to imagine being suddenly infected by collective piety at some mass rally with banners reading JESUS LOVES YOU and cheerleaders with unbearably fixed smiles. Besides, at the time of my conversion, stadiums and circuses still served their original purposes and were not used for religious clownery. Naturally I respect the fact that there are those who feel the need to be crushed in a crowd of like-minded people to strengthen their faith. My faith would more likely be lost in a throng like that.
A touch of skepticism, irony, and commitment to critical reason as a permanent corrective to any tendency to superficial religious enthusiasm is, in my view, not only a necessary condition for mental and spiritual health, but also a prerequisite if we are not to drown out the real voice of God with our own whooping and shouting: it reminds me of the fellow in the well-known anecdote who is looking in the dark for a black cat in a totally empty room and calling out rather prematurely: “I’ve got it, I’ve got it!”

Playing around with some desktop photography again, which I find to be extremely easy if there are no reflective objects BUT extremely difficult when you have reflective surfaces.
This one needs so much corrective work but I no longer fear showing the bad along with the good work. I guess it's good to spot problem areas so that one may learn from them and hopefully improve their work each time.

An opportunistic take at Westbury which kind of sums up, for the visiting rail-fan, the predominant traction to be found at this freight hotspot.
Helpfully, Shed 66194 was going nowhere fast - a good thing because I was surprised at just how sensitive the image was to moving a couple of inches right / left / up / down, during my efforts to minimise the lens distortion. To be honest going 'wide' hardly helped, but I really couldn't be bothered to move over to the platform behind me and put the tele-lens on.
No surprises that, despite my best 'on location' efforts, it still needed a bit of corrective work back home in Lightroom to get it straight and true.

I have been contemplating why I have an affinity for abstract compositions and alternative image captures in my own as well as other's work. Yesterday morning as I sat outside in the pre-dawn dark holding a cup of tea, I took my glasses off for a moment and stared at the sky which revealed the blinking stars and fingernail moon as if through an impressionist's brush. I paid particular attention to the individual lilts of light in each star created by astigmatism and near sightedness realizing my near blindness may be more of a gift than a disability. Though corrective lenses can sharpen my eyesight, it takes plodding practice and a willingness to keep asking the questions to fine tune my vision.
I'm just back from New Mexico newly inspired with photos to share. I'm having major eye surgery this week and later this month, corrective lenses implanted into my eyes so that I might see well enough to do my art again. I'm simultaneously scared--it's not without risks--and excited since the benefit could be life changing.
Probably the strongest (in diopter units) reading glasses available through my usual source. Pardon the pun, but it looks like an optometrist may be in my sights once these glasses no longer serve their purpose.
My heart longs to go back to the Gila, but it will be a while before I can travel again.
I'm off for the second eye surgery--an inter-ocular corrective lens implant--and am looking forward to having my two eyes working together again. So far, the operated eye is seeing at 20/30!
So, for a few days I leave you with sunflowers!

This is what remains of the original concept of my Polaroid Week project. I was going to dump a bag of ice in my yard and shoot it as it melted, using my Hasselblad 500cm and Nons back. The new back changes the focal plane to get rid of the border that plagued their original back. One consequence of that is that you have to use a corrective filter to enable your lens to focus to infinity. Without it, you’re limited to close-up work. Hmmm. So the idea was to use this without the corrective filter and work close-up. I don’t think it was able to get close enough for what I wanted, and I got the bag too late in the day so I ran out of light before I ran out of ice. So the implementation became more ICE fades to black than ICE melts. I didn’t think stretching this out over the week worked. So I tried putting the shots in a matrix, and I think that makes more sense. It kinda sorta works. I have a different idea that I need to try today.
I miss autumn, I miss the leaves, I miss the colours and most of the time I miss sunshine too. So here is another one of the photos I took in my favourite nature reserve on a perfect autumn day which now seems to be years ago.
I'm behind with commenting but will try to catch up later today and tomorrow. On Tuesday I had a dentist appointment which was scheduled for two hours and in the end took five hours because of certain "complications" which were mainly due to the bad job my previous dentist had done years ago. Afterwards I felt miserable and I can still hardly eat. Next week I will have to go there again for corrective dental surgery, lovely.
Well, i thought i would try another SP. This time my beautiful daughter assisted me. More of my new processing.

So what do you do on a Saturday when you are run down with the cold, have too many cold flu tablets on board, and you don't like the 7 portait image panorama.....Well you experiement. Tried some manipulation (that I don't usually do) and I sort of like the result. The original was taken at long reef reserve with my mate Brad - it was great to catch up. I used a Cokin GND8, Circ polarizer and 3 rocks to lay on, in order to take this one. Did the manipulation using the Lens Corrective function.
Have a great weekend all.
Ps...Be harsh with the criticism as well. The tablets will make it seem lighter (hehe)
Bright orange when in flower, these seed pods contain a cherry coloured fruit. The dried fruit of P. alkekengi is called the golden flower in the Unani system of medicine, and used as a diuretic, antiseptic, liver corrective, and sedative. Physalis alkekengi seed fossils are known from Miocene of Siberia, Pliocene of Europe and Pleistocene of Germany. Physalis alkekengi pollen have been found in early Pleistocene sediments in Ludham east of Wroxham, East Anglia.
