Have a fabulous Thursday.

 

Playing with light and silhouettes.

Looking out towards the sky framing a clear view of the blue sky and some clouds beyond.

 

The scene is dominated by strong contrasts between the shadowed interior and the brilliant light emanating from the doorway highlighting the texture of the stone.

 

Looking up can be a way to clear one's mind and find new ideas or perspectives, a metaphor for seeking inspiration.

 

Shot from the interior doorway of Abydos temple, one of the most sacred sites in ancient Egypt. The temple of Seti is known for its well-preserved carvings, including the Abydos King List, and its unique architectural elements.

Scenic framing of a serene sunrise over the Nile river. The rising sun creates a warm vibrant orange and yellow reflection casting a golden glow across the water's surface.

 

The hand reaching towards the sun adds a symbolic element representing a desire to embrace the moment or a gesture of appreciation for the natural beauty.

The calm water and distant mountains contribute to a serene and picturesque setting.

 

The warm, golden hues of the sunrise create a tranquil and captivating atmosphere.

Catch a falling leaf

and put it in your pocket

save it for a rainy day...

 

Happy Sunday...

Scenic framing of a serene coastal sunset with warm lights illuminating the sky and a calm sea with gentle waves.

 

A prominent island with mountainous terrain rises from the horizon under a sky filled with scattered clouds.

 

In the foreground a beach setting on either side of the image is framing the view.

 

The calm water and distant island represent a desire for peace and retreat.

Once again I was setting my ISO for some indoor photography and I used my 'heart' as a point of focus and the light from the 'roof window' which was streaming through and here is my practice result. Can't actually remember what I'd been photographing, probably the puppies hahaha

 

Have crazy Bokeh day, get Bokering (not sure that's a word but I like it)

Creative artistic framing of a yellow mesh sun shade.

An artistic close-up framing of bright green leaves with sunlight shining through them, creating a natural and vibrant scene with a blurred background.

Several photographic techniques were used to create such a vibrant and focused composition.

 

The main subject, a cluster of pinnate leaves, is in sharp focus, while the background is softly blurred (bokeh). This shallow depth of field effectively isolates the subject from the busy background, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of the leaves and stem.

 

The primary light source appears to be behind the leaves, illuminating them from within. This effect highlights their translucent quality, vibrant green color, and delicate vein structures, creating a bright, glowing appearance.

 

The main stem and leaf arrangement roughly align with the vertical lines of the rule of thirds, providing a balanced yet dynamic composition.

 

The image is dominated by various shades of green and yellow. The leaves exhibit a bright, almost luminous lime green, contrasting with the darker green and warm, golden-yellow tones in the background bokeh.

 

The lighting provides a warm, natural feel, enhancing the sense of a sunny outdoor environment during the day. The golden spots in the background suggest sunlight filtering through other foliage.

 

The surface of the leaves appears smooth and soft, emphasized by the backlighting that reveals subtle structural details.

 

The background is an abstract blend of colors and soft circular shapes, contributing to a dreamy or natural aesthetic without distracting from the main subject

 

Every green leaf is a miracle.

The 'key' to life, love, laughter and happiness is a kind heart....

After a very muddy run this morning, I've had to sit in and await a delivery of a fruit/vegetable cage for my vegetable garden as I have a lot of pesky rabbits, anyway with time on my hands I got creative....

I grew some mini Pumpkins this year, they are adorable, Pumpkin Soup tonight with Chilli's, fresh cream, herbs and vegetable stock...

 

I grew some big pumpkins too and Butternut Squash, but they were not as fun to photograph as these tiny Pumpkins. Once again, I have used my woodland for some crazy bokeh and one of my coloured felt hearts...

 

Happy Harvesting...

Sit on a bench today and listen to nature, it mends the soul and heals the mind.

 

Have a fabulous Tuesday.

 

I'm off Paddle Boarding today with with of my best girlfriends. The Sun is shining, its warm, gonna catch up and talk as we paddle down the river.

A creative close-up framing of several green palm fronds radiating and fanning outwards from a central point similar to the palm of a hand.

 

The fronds are brightly lit as sunlight is shining through them reflecting off their surface. The texture of the frond, including some fine fibrous strands, is visible upon closer inspection.

Artistic framing of a magical and fairytale-like place decorated with textiles, hanging ornaments and local artworks creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

 

The bright light and open space beyond the doorway offers a feeling of evasion in space time, plus the relaxing atmosphere with the cat sleeping on the left side.

 

Shot from Farsha, a traditional lounge cafe nestled on a cliffside the Um Al-Sid Hill.

Happy Monday

A scenic artistic framing of palm tree silhouettes set against a vibrant orange and yellow sky during sunset. The sun is visible as a bright white orb near the horizon, centered in the upper portion of the image.

 

The dense foliage and trunks of various palm trees are entirely in shadow, creating a stark contrast with the bright sky. The image focuses purely on nature, creating a serene and timeless atmosphere.

 

The composition effectively uses the rule of thirds, with the horizon line positioned roughly in the lower third of the frame, allowing the dramatic sky to dominate the image. The dense, dark mass of the palm grove provides a strong, grounding base. The sun is a central focal point, positioned slightly above the center.

 

The lighting is characterized by strong backlighting from the low sun, which creates the stark silhouettes of the date palms. The color palette is warm and saturated, dominated by shades of orange, yellow, and deep black. This high contrast enhances the dramatic effect of the natural light.

 

A sense of peace, warmth, and natural beauty. The rich colors and the simplicity of the silhouetted forms contribute to a serene and exotic mood.

   

Artisitic framing of a coral reef barrier, capturing a fleeting moment of light and colors with a paintbrush pictorial vision.

 

It's less about what our eye can see, and more about what our heart can feel.

Merry Christmas... wrapping and boxing my presents...

 

Have a lovely Sunday...

Artistic framing of a distinct natural pathway through crystal-clear turquoise water connecting several reefs.

 

The surface of the water shows gentle ripples and reflections indicating sunlight illuminating the scene.

The overall impression is one of a pristine and inviting tropical seascape.

 

Either physical or conceptual, a pathway is a route that can be followed to reach a destination or achieve a specific result.

 

Lower ISO settings, like 64, allows for more detail to be captured in both the bright and dark parts of a scene, leading to a wider range of tones in the final image. Best used in bright outdoor settings.

 

Shot from Ras Nasrani, Sharm El Sheikh, one of the best snorkeling and dive sites in the world where the waters are known for their extraordinary clarity, offering visibility beyond 30 meters below.

  

My Cherry Tree is toooo high for me to photograph Cherries up close, so I took one of my many 'fun pegs' and took a 'bokehlicious' image of my Cherries at my height. I do love my fun pegs.

 

Have a fabulous Monday, its raining here, off for a Monday Muddy run, will no doubt be covered in mud in the next half hour, but first.... coffee

It's a marshmallow world in the winter

When the snow comes to cover the ground

It's time for play, it's a whipped cream day

I wait for it the whole year 'round

Aesthetic framing of intricately carved wooden figurines closely arranged.

The collection of carvings depict various figures and stylized creatures or characters, some with intricate details and expressions.

 

The sculptures are made from wood, showcasing detailed carving work that suggests a high level of craftsmanship and skill in manipulating the material to create distinct forms and expressions for each figure.

The arrangement allows for a detailed view of individual pieces while also presenting them as a cohesive collection.

 

The variations in wood tone and texture are visible, adding to the aesthetic appeal.

The carving techniques create varying textures, from smooth, polished surfaces to rougher, more intricate details, adding depth and visual interest.

  

Crocs have never looked so good.., I have style...

Just some magic this Thursday morning...

It seems to me there may be a connection between the two words 'Roots' and 'Wings' for a passionate photographer.

Like birds, sometimes we just need to uproot and fly off to new places and gain fresh perspectives.

Reach out far and wide, expand our horizons and venture into new territories. With our wings we express our innate curiosity, our sense of adventure and exploration.

 

Inspired by 'Roots and Wings' a French iconic documentary series created by Patrick de Carolis and Patrick Charles in France in 1997. Essentially devoted to heritage, history and knowledge with a local focus, the reports feature people with a passion for what they do. A valuable inspiration for all photographers.

 

Shot from the Nile riverside, Aswan.

I'm driving home for Christmas

Oh, I can't wait to see those faces

I'm driving home for Christmas, yea

Well I'm moving down that line

And it's been so long

But I will be there

I sing this song

To pass the time away

Driving in my car

Driving home for Christmas

Love this song...

 

Hope you all get to spend Christmas with your families. Stay safe....

Scenic artistic framing of a dromedary and saddles from the stunning seashore of Nabq National Park.

 

Camels are truly remarkable animals.Their ability to survive in harsh desert conditions is a symbol of resilience and adaptability, which can be transferred to the saddle as a tool used to navigate these environments.

 

Camel saddles are specially designed seats or harnesses used for riding camels, which were essential for long-distance travel across harsh terrains, especially in desert regions.

 

In our fast-paced and goal-driven world, the camel can be a reminder that life is a journey, not a race as they usually pace themselves, reserving energy and reaching their destinations with the same stamina they started with.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated

Artistic framing of a sea water surface. Observing nature with a cosmic perspective foster a sense of humility, awe, and interconnectedness with all life.

 

A cosmic connection, in its broadest sense, refers to the idea that everything in the universe, including humans, is interconnected and part of a larger, unified whole.

 

The concept of cosmic connection often inspires a sense of wonder and curiosity about the universe, leading us to explore artistic expressions.

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.” - Henry David Thoreau

 

This is another multiple exposure practice shot of the Rose of Sharon blooms in my garden. I wanted to try to capture the phases of the bloom with a bud, full blooms and one that is slowly fading away. I did not see the two ants until later! Can you spot them both? There are tell tale signs of the summer season passing onto to the next. I will resign myself to the changes and embrace it with new eyes.

Artistic framing of a date palm tree with a bright full moon, visible through the fronds on the right side of the image, adding a focal point and enhancing the tranquil evening atmosphere.

The sky transitions from a soft blue at the top to a pale lavender or pinkish hue near the horizon.

 

The image uses a strong central composition, with the palm tree trunk and fronds dominating the frame. The tree acts as a leading vertical element against the horizontal gradient of the sky.

 

Taken during twilight, characterized by soft, ambient light and a beautiful gradient of lavender and blue hues in the sky. This soft lighting minimizes harsh shadows and creates a serene mood. The moon is a bright, contrasting element against this colored sky.

 

The combination of the tranquil colors, the solitary tree, and the moon evokes a peaceful exotic atmosphere.

A scenic sunset over the Nile River, with illuminated structures along the bank and traditional sailboats 'feluccas' on the water.

 

Gradient of colors in the sky, transitioning from warm oranges and yellows near the horizon to cooler blues and purples overhead. This natural light creates a dramatic and atmospheric mood. The artificial lights along the riverbank and on the boats add points of interest and contrast with the fading natural light.

 

The primary subjects are the tranquil river, the traditional sailboats and the distant silhouette of mountains against the colorful sky. The illuminated promenade in the foreground is a public place for viewing this picturesque scene.

 

A horizontal composition, with the horizon line positioned roughly in the upper third, creates a sense of openness and emphasizes the expansive sky and water. The foreground features a patterned walkway and lush greenery, providing depth and a leading line towards the main scene. The sailboats on the water and the distant mountains add layers to the composition.

 

Taken from Luxor during sunset. The combination of the sunset colors, the calm water, and the traditional boats evokes a serene and somewhat romantic atmosphere. The gentle illumination from the lamps adds a touch of warmth and invitation.

Front bow of a sailing boat with colorful gear. The term "bow" is thought to originate from the curved shape of the bow, resembling a bow used for archery.

 

Some boats feature a bow pulpit, which is an extension of the bow area that extends beyond the hull. This is often used for mounting navigation lights, anchors, and other equipment. It provides passengers with a space to enjoy the view or for convenient storage, enhancing the overall comfort and utility of the vessel.

 

The bow is the first part of the boat to encounter new waters, symbolizing the potential for exploration, discovery, and new experiences.

 

I made hot mulled wine ...

 

Have a wonderful Christmas weekend and a fabulous Friday ~ Debbie KissThePixel2019

Artistic framing of wooden marionette hanging among various decorative figures.

 

Marionettes symbolize the "inner child," self-reflection and the duality of human nature. Their human-like appearance can also symbolize aspects of human nature, both good and bad.

 

They represent something pure and mystical as sacred figures on the walls of a temple.

Artistic framing of a vibrant mural featuring a stylized fish skeleton with a crescent moon-like tail and a colorful seating area on the foreground.

 

Often seen in artwork, the fish skeleton is associated with the water element in many cultures because water is often seen as a source of life and nourishment.
