Scott has been developing an idea for a composite shot for a while now and today was the day that everything lined up and we all got out there to help make the vision a reality.
Jo was a trooper through it too; it actually started snowing while we were working on setting up and while we gave her the chance to flee, she stuck to it, dress and all!
I figured the work might make for an interesting "behind the scenes" composite and brought my gear along.
Thanks to Scott for showing me a few Photoshop tricks to help me process too!
Yay team work!
Hope everyone has had a good day.

“The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.
Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty.
You may think you don’t have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us. The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter.”
~Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I created these tissue paper flowers. I know they may not be the “best” but, I created them and for that I am grateful.

"Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." George Bernard Shaw.
In the mid-twelfth century, the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland led by King Henry II of England marked the arrival of numerous English nobles to Irish lands. One of those nobles, was Richard Talbot, who received from the sovereign the area of Malahide. To control their new lands, the Talbot family built a castle, which was modified over time and served as a family residence for almost 800 years. In 1975 the castle was finally sold to the Irish State. Thanks to this, we are currently lucky enough to visit it with a guided tour, in which its interesting history is explained while we contemplate its beautiful interior, as well as being able to walk quietly through its lovely gardens.
As I often do, I organized the visit to later photograph the castle at the blue hour. The sky was really dramatic that night, but finding an interesting composition was not easy and the lights of the castle were not the best. Even so, with a little magic in the post-processing I have been able to achieve a result that leaves me satisfied.
As night fell and I waited to capture more light on the scene, my wife and I danced to the music of a concert that was taking place in the immediate vicinity of the Castle. It was our second anniversary as a couple and together we created a magical moment that we will never forget.

"La vida no se trata de encontrarte a ti mismo. La vida se trata de crearte a ti mismo." George Bernard Shaw.
A mediados del siglo XII, la invasión anglo-normanda de Irlanda liderada por el rey Enrique II de Inglaterra, supuso la llegada de numerosos nobles ingleses a tierras irlandesas. Uno de esos nobles, fue Richard Talbot, quien recibió por parte de su soberano la zona de Malahide. Para controlar sus nuevas tierras, la familia Talbot construyó un castillo, el cual se fue modificando con el paso del tiempo y sirvió como residencia familiar durante casi 800 años. En 1975 el castillo fue finalmente vendido al Estado Irlandés. Gracias a ello tenemos la suerte actualmente de poder conocerlo con una visita guiada, en la que se nos explica su interesante historia mientras contemplamos su hermoso interior, además de poder pasear tranquilamente por sus encantadores jardines.
Como suelo hacer a menudo, organicé la visita para quedarme luego a fotografiar el castillo a la hora azul. El cielo era realmente dramático aquella noche, pero encontrar una composición interesante no fue fácil y la iluminación del castillo no era la mejor. Aún así, con un poco de magia en el procesado he sido capaz de conseguir un resultado que me deja satisfecho.
Mientras caía la noche y esperaba para capturar más luz en la escena, mi mujer y yo bailábamos al son de la música de un concierto que tenía lugar en las inmediaciones del Castillo. Era nuestro segundo aniversario como novios y juntos creamos un momento mágico que no olvidaremos nunca.

Zondag een heel onverwachts uitje naar het Lauwersmeer en Lauwersoog
Het Lauwersmeer is een meer in het noorden van Nederland, op de grens van de provincies Groningen en Friesland. Het is op 23 mei 1969 ontstaan door het afsluiten van de Lauwerszee.

Sunday a very unexpected trip to the Lauwersmeer and Lauwersoog
The Lauwersmeer is a lake in the north of the Netherlands, on the border between the provinces of Groningen and Friesland. It was created on 23 May 1969 by concluding the Lauwerszee.
Hamilton Gardens is a terrific place to visit is with its feature of many different types of intriguing and unique garden designs. Brilliant. There's this pond connecting some of the gardens. When passing I couldn't help noticing the strong and profound reflections created by the surrounding planting. It was a calm day so hardly any wind movements in the water. Not easy to find an intersting angel to shoot from (not made easier by the many people visiting that day) but I like the drama of the clouds. Nice quiet moment of exploring.
