3 of 4 in a series on the life of a gerbera daisy.
We can never get close as dogs not allowed on the beach. This was taken many years ago on my Nikon d300 and the 24mm DX lens..
Took the glass ball to Colemere today, when I got to my spot the sun disappeared. I managed to get a couple of shots before it went completely.
Twilight over Adelaide through the trunk of the sole tree at the top of Brown Hill
Trying to get the tree in focus is almost impossible. I made a decent effort using f10.
Heard they were overflowing..
So nipped out earlier to have a look.. Apart from it being the coldest day so far on Himmy.. Brr..
It was so cool seeing them overflowing again and hearing them roar too!!

From the side -
Unable to squeeze in between the wall of photographers and tripods at Mesa Arch, I moved to the end of the arch to capture the sunrise there. Mesa Arch is on the left of the shot. Although I didn't get the glow that you get under the arch it was still pretty spectacular.
This old guy showed up the other day when I was cleaning out a birdbath. Then he showed up later when I was putting out mealworms. Guess he just wanted to see what I was up to.
Fortunately, he hung around while I raced for my camera. This perch is not as close as I'd like when trying to get dragonfly shots, but considering they are not regular visitors sometimes you have to take what you can get.
Was surprised to see how tattered those wings look. Guess he's been around the block a few times. LOL!
I don’t know if I told you guys here on Flickr, but I just started school this January, so I’m now a 42 year old in school... This is my midterm assignment in Photoshop. We were tasked with colorizing a black and white photo. So what did I do? I just revealed the boring, window-colored world I’m often met with, where only the desired, but unattainable, pristine blue is visible through the window of glass, easily shattered. And the skylights juxtaposed proving that dark in one view, is not necessarily dark in another’s.
I had been pondering a new photo series when suddenly it struck me that one of the locations I had in mind for the project, would be perfect for this midterm assignment. So I packed my backpack and drove to the location I had in mind.
Well there I realized how perfect my Ricoh GR was for this task. When shooting in black and white mode, it automatically produces one black and white JPG, and one color version in RAW. I used the raw file as my color palette, save some freehand adjustments, and an imported color palette for the copper roof.
When I got back home and sat down to analyze the image I instantly felt the need to flip the sky and make it the same color as the window facing west. Then I took one of the sky colors and placed it in the same window. Same with the skylights. There I chose to juxtapose the color of the skylight in the shade to a rebellious lighter shade of the original sky, and the skylight in the sunlight, a darker shade of the original sky. All to underline the dissonance felt within, and that on a very personal level. How such a seemingly perfect sky can be so unattainable, and so malplaced…
The walls had its own intricate work. Every block of wall, and every tone shift was done separately. As we all know, the light here in New Mexico, and in Santa Fe especially, reflects off every surface differently. So I chose to do them separately in order to make them more living. On the patchier work, see tan example in he front bottom column, where I chose to smudge the edges of the shifts so that they blended together better. All shadows were also amplified with color.
The only thing not colored is the rough. I attempted to give it a lighter shade of the window colored sky, but it made the total image feel flatter. I added the few colored elements in there to have the gray zone pop, and draw you in further. Leaving the rough uncolored was a much better solution, and I like the additional abstract sense it takes on.
Well - I hope you enjoy my subtlety abstract work here. It was a really fun assignment, and I’ve actually enjoyed every second of it.

This is a different angle of Kenilworth Castle. It is a place that I regularly visit and this time looked to get a different angle to the traditional ones seen on the web. I looked to highlight the durability of the stone against the ruined architecture. More on the Castle is here www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/kenilworth-castle
Southstack Lighthouse from across the bay, I couldn't get on the car park! A first for me usually you can go there and park then have a lovely walk round, nice to get the photo from a different place though and the sky was lovely.
This photo was taken in Monterey Aquarium, Monterey, CA, USA. It was taken outside of a big fish tank, taken through its 1 inch thick plexiglass wall and probably through and additional 6 to 8 inches of sea water. This anemone was about 6 inches in diameter at the top.
An off camera flash unit, Minolta 5600 HS(D) was used. Because this is a macro shot, and the flash head is about 3 inches wide, no additional light diffuser was necessary for a soft light illumination. As can be seen in the photo, there was no harsh shadows!
