Bäume gezoomt, aufgenommen im Urwald Sababurg

Tried a picture, out of the rastered side window of a bus.

Beads on black. Experimenting to bring up enough light, but not to blow the highlights.

My sister brought some of these beads from Kenya. She enjoyed bartering for them, she said.

I've not shot into the evening sun so directly before, but I did want to see if I could capture the hay and dust stirred up by our neighbor's tractor.

My husband walked down the lane after I began, and weighed in today: he would have shot a more perpendicular angle with fewer or no sun flares, yet still capturing the light. I mention this so that you'll know I'm open to suggestions. (Previous photo link in first comment.)

Thanks for looking and for your fun comments. I think Flickr tagged this one well: "surreal" ;)

Experimenting...

That's a result of an experiment with a 31mm macro extension ring. It's not that good. 21mm was great but 31mm sucks a bit. I guess I was at this point before, I just forgot what the problem was.

Here is another experiment with light and liquids.

Perhaps you will understand that this was initially a dandelion photo.

In the boundless landscape of pixel world, magic thrives, unconstrained by the limitations of reality. It is a realm where the impossible becomes possible. Aardvark always sprinkle a little bit of that magic into our world, coloring the experiences with wonder and possibility.

Owls and bears seem to have intertwined their destinies, a glimpse into a world where nature’s experiments might lead to the emergence of these charming, fantastical creations...

I've posted shots before of this fountain near me. It's on until 9pm from May to September, and to depict photographically the flow of the water, I've had to shoot it either at night

flic.kr/p/PLzAiE

or at twilight

flic.kr/p/nEpaKM

because I just couldn't get a long enough exposure during the day to capture the flow, not even at f/36!

flic.kr/p/nS6cbU

So this time I tried it with my new 10-stop ND filter, and I like how it came out. I like being able to capture the fountain's flow during broad daylight (this was a 15-second exposure at f/25), and compared to the evening or night shots it's less contrast-y and yet the light is still good. So I think I'm going to stick with this filter for my daytime long-exposure shots.

Converting a RAW image by using the photo editing software of my iMac and, then, sending it straight to Flickr. It does work, is easy, produces presentable results, but offers a rather restricted range of editorial possibilities [image was shot in Fuji's Acros B+W R film simulation which, of course, was eliminated by Apple's photo editor. In order to preserve this setting I would have to use Fuji's Silkypix raw converter].

Actually I want to do some experiment with candle. Suddenly, an idea has been popped up in my mind! Then I did this and took the shoot. It took a lot of time to capture this photo. I didn't get the perfect shot. Finally I captured it.

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn."

― T.H. White, The Once and Future King

My all-time, best-loved quote. With that in mind while still sheltering at home (nine months!), I rented a Lawoa 2.5X-5FX Ultra Macro lens. We already had a macro focus rail. Light is vital on a rainy day; brought in two studio lights in addition to three windows in my office studio. Magnified by three.

Hope for improvement. Comments not necessary until I improve, thank you.

Experiment : backlit at night with a torch

robin not in focus but hopefully will improve

panasonic lumix tz70

this afternoon i continued to experiment with my new camera. i used the scene and macro settings together with the focus lever. it's a lovely camera to hold and the weight all ok ... but practise, practise, practise

i had been waiting for a panasonic lumix tz90 but there is a global shortage of point and shoot cameras petapixel.com/2021/10/15/the-camera-industry-is-trapped-d... i was on various waiting lists but no stockist had any idea when it would be available. a panasonic lumix tz70 was in stock last week www.lcegroup.co.uk/New-Equipment-Home/ i bought it rather than have a possible prolonged frustrating wait for the tz90

for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

El sistema de creencias de Falun Dafa ofrece la posibilidad de alcanzar el crecimiento espiritual a través de la práctica disciplinada. Sus enseñanzas animan a los estudiantes a soltar apegos poco saludables mientras se esfuerzan por armonizar sus vidas con las características fundamentales del universo: Verdad, Benevolencia y Tolerancia.

A menudo descubren que les cambia la vida. Muchos experimentan beneficios extraordinarios en la salud, así como energía renovada, claridad mental y alivio del estrés. Lo más importante es que muchos sienten que en Falun Dafa han encontrado un camino espiritual profundamente gratificante.

Adjusting my camera setting to “Watercolour” I rather like this favourite scene in Barmouth, Wales

so, for the MM theme for this coming Monday, I thought it would be cool to use food coloring to “tie dye” cotton candy— nope, it dissolved it!!

90 images exposed at 4 seconds each (ISO 800) and stacked from the back garden.

This is a photo taken during a video I saw in 2018 at MOMA showing the work of Bogdan Bogdanovic (1922–2010), a Yugoslav architect who made very sculptural monuments to the war dead. This is a detail of the visit to one called the "Stone Flower" and is found in Croatia.

When I took the photo during the film which was in b&w, the composite colors, perhaps resulting from having used panchromatic film, came through and I found this transformation interesting.

On this experiment, I used ink and PVA glue to explore a different concept upon drawing and shades. The ink breaks down creating interesting and unpredictable shapes.
