Too bad I didn't get to post this before my team got knocked out of the playoffs. Just the same... Lord Stanley's Cup, in eight bricks.

From tea bag to finished cup - four images.
This image started out as baking a cake, but after some thought the cake was replaced by a cup of tea. I set the cup/saucer up on a black velvet board and mounted my camera on a sturdy tripod looking down on the cup/saucer.
image taken with a Canon 5D mounted on a Manfrotto 055CB Professional Tripod. Two Canon 580EX flashes were used one on each side of the cup and saucer. Both flashes diffused to avoid hot spots on the ceramic, water etc. I set up the cup on the saucer a little off centre because I felt this looked more pleasing.
My first shot of the cup & tea bag was done quite leisurely but the fun started when the water started to pour. Taking the other three images kettle/milk/spoon took about 45 seconds to do, because I wanted to ensure that the water was hot out of the kettle (though not too hot that it sent steam up to my camera!!!). Hot water meant that the tea bag would do it's stuff properly and that I would get effects like the condensation on the side of the cup as seen in the image with the milk.
Even though I had less than a minute to take these images I still managed to get a range of images at each stage so that afterwards I could choose an image that I wanted. I eventually chose images which showed how the tea in the cup changes colour progressively towards the final result. In the final image with the spoon I stirred up the tea and then took the image so that I got the pleasing highlights on the surface of the tea.
Post production was pretty easy. I took one image and using guide lines to help me make sure that the edge of the saucer to the edge of the image was the same all around - which is important when it came to quartering the image. Once sure that the saucer was in the centre of the image (remember the cup is off centre) I cropped it to the size that wanted. Then I dragged different image layers onto this initial image and changed the opacity of this new layer to 60% and aligned it exactly with the first image. I did this for all the layers so that they all aligned together perfectly. Then I cropped so that all layers were the same. The rest was simple - quarter, new image (black background), extract each layer to new image, position etc.
And finally, my wife had the resulting cup of tea and she said it tasted disgusting...
Note: This image won the Gold Cup in a Worth1000 Advanced Photography Competition in April 2007.

Sarcoscypha austriaca
Always a winter favourite fungi so I was quite happy to come across these little ones. Taken at 1:1 with the Z105 so no more than 35mm across the whole scene.
NOORDWIJK - Lifesaving, een sport die gebaseerd is op het reddingswerk van strandwachten en badmeesters, is officieel erkend als topsport door NOC*NSF. Daarom worden er ook Europese Kampioenschappen en Wereldkampioenschappen georganiseerd. Dit jaar vindt er voor het eerst een WK plaats in Nederland, het zesde land op de wereldranglijst.

Photo 17/31 October Picture a Day
I went to look for the Atlas comet this evening but no luck. The sky was generally quite clear but some clouds where the comet might have been. So a shot from earlier in the day when I went on a fungi hunt. This may be the Blistered Cup Fungus or the rarer Polydesnia Pruinosa, but I don't know really.
Scarlet Elf Cup (Sarcoscypha austriaca) is fairly widespread but uncommon in Britain and Ireland. It can be seen from January to April. Favouring areas with high rainfall it can be seen on decaying sticks and branches – especially in damp areas of the woodland floor – and on ditch sides and stream banks.
Scarlet Elf Cups have many other common names, which include, the scarlet elf cap, red cup, scarlet cup, moss cups and fairies’ baths. With that in mind, in European folklore, it was said that the wood elves drank morning dew from the cups or where the fairies bathe.
ODC Cup(s)
This is Stu's eye cup. I took the photo on his sink in his bathroom. Note the shape of the cup; it is used for rinsing the eye.
Ardrossan near Brodick on the Isle of Arran.
Late Neolithic / bronze age.
Whilst the style differs from the Galloway cups and rings further south east, and the northern England cup and ring petroglyphs, the dialogue of cups interfaced with circles and canals (tails) is recognizable between the sites, and indeed carries on with relations carved as far away as Galice in Spain (see below). This photo is part of a wider monolithic outcrop with a variety of carvings. There is no question that the rock does anything other than descend deep into the ground. This is worth noting as, recently, a Scottish boulder with cup and ring marks was turned to reveal more cup and ring marks on its hidden surface. This discovery rightly made it into the UK national press who were able to say that nobody really understood what the meaning of the marks was, before opening the window to the crass idea that they might be shepherd's doodles! A shepherd can doodle onto leather, or with charcoal onto rock or wood. Everyone has the right to doodle. The effort required to then peck and scratch out his doodle for all time into a petroglyph is great and requires the motivation and tools to push for an idea that is high on meaning and social connection. Doodles are neither.

I was lucky enough to catch the World Cup Snow Cross event at Blue Mountain in 2019. Brady Lemon took the gold. I call this one Triumph.
Tonight I'm procrastinating. Playing around when I shouldn't be!
No new pics - just playing with old ones!
Thanks to les brumes for the lovely textures! Try it on black
Haven't been posting for awhile---as my Mom would say, "When it rains, it pours".
I'm waiting for a new camera (Canon EOS 7D Mark II) to arrive this week and while I'm excited about it, I do miss my old Canon, my old buddy, my old friend.
Additionally, my 8-year-old Mac is at the end of its life and is not cooperating much anymore.
And I fell again.
All overshadowed by the fact that I have a new granddaughter!!!
Life goes on.
