I'm happy with the composition apart from maybe the distracting trees? Any comments would be greatly appreciated :-)
While having a lazy sunny winter sunday, the reflection of sun into the living room gave me that idea. I had done other shoots as well, with tea glasses etc, the view was nice the photos were not. That was the only shoot, that I loved. It was hard to choose a title; like 2 Circles, sun & shadow etc.. Thank you all my nice Fickr friends, who visied my page, commented or faved or just viewed..You gave me inspiration to start that hobby. I have seen your photos, all the peoplle I follow or who follows me (thank you all..) and then I decided to start to take the camera in my hand. The results might not be on the good level yet, but I try and I love it..
I have been experimenting with the use of infrared filters and have been really happy with the results so far.
It means I can get out during the bright sunshine of the afternoon and still capture some pleasing images. As always I would love to hear your thoughts. Good or bad.

Okay, so this is an experiment combined with an 'I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep' state of an image. But I actually quite liked where it stood, in its weird sort of blendly forest present state. So I decided to let it just remain like that instead of staying awake...day 18, yay!
18 colours totally randomly picked. Each colour for each round chosen with eyes closed. Oddly it seems to work.
An experiment with ICM (Intentional Camera Movement), this won't appeal to many as a railway photograph, I mean it's all out of focus and looks a mess, but it does have some appeal to me.
This is just an experimental shot and process which in all honesty I didn't think anything would result, with the camera set on a longish exposure, I clicked and rotated the camera as the train approached, I did another when the train had passed, two images are straightened and merged in Photoshop with a multiply layer blend. There are no other Photoshop special effects.
A Transpennine Class 185 passing through Morley station - Friday 28th June 2019 4:38 pm.
I bought an eyeshadow palette thinking I’d convert it to a watercolor palette, but before washing out the eyeshadow paste and replacing it with tube watercolors, I thought I’d try doing a painting using the eyeshadow colors. They contain mica and are shiny. It doesn’t really show up in the scan. I mixed in some Chinese white watercolor paint to get the bright whites. Image is about 5.5x10 inches (25.5x14 cm).
I used the included "brush". It’s a stick with a small, soft, cheap brush on one end and a foam applicator on the other. I like the colors and soft look like pastel. A fun experiment for. $4.
Eine kleine Spielerei vom Wochenende.
Angeregt durch die Chip Foto-Video 12/2013, wollte ich das Experiment ausprobieren. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. Man benötigt einen Metallquirl (aus der Küche), ein Stück Schnur (1,5 m) und Stahlwolle "000" aus dem Baumarkt. Die Schnur wird an dem Quirl befestigt, in den Quirl stopft man lose die Stahlwolle und los geht es. Die Kameraeinstellung findet Ihr in den Exif-Daten. Ich habe meinen Selbstauslöser (10 s) benutzt, die Zeit reicht gut, die Stahlwolle mit einem Feuerzeug anzuzünden und alles in kreisende Bewegung zu versetzen. Es macht Spaß, Erfolg garantiert!!!!
Guess who's off sick?
Anyway, playing about with some filters I was given by a friend - this is a "soft spot" filter, which I guess is meant to give kind of the same effect as a lensbaby (ie only one part in focus, the rest blurred), but I was quite disappointed as the effect isn't very obvious, in fact it's pretty negligible...so I just thought I'd play about and whack on as much grain and noise on it as possible, hence me shooting at ISO 1600, plus adding extra in PS...anyway, I was trying to get some creepy shots of dolls (as you do) and I quite like how they came out...
I had never heard the term Dutch Angle before, I probably would have described it as wonky. I have never set out to take a wonky picture before. I probably would have made the subject wonky if I thought it would help. So today was an interesting experiment.
Normally, I use aperture priority to take my images. On this day, I set up with plenty of sunlight on shutter priority with the intention of getting the hummingbird with frozen wings. The shot is darker than I like but the high shutter speed definitely worked on the wings,
This will be the last posting for me for a couple of weeks. My wife and I are going with my daughter and her family to Disney World in Orlando. Hopefully, I'll have a shot of Mickey Mouse to post upon our return.
This is an experiment on editing color. Today I am going to do a course on Elements, hope it will rub off as I feel I lag a lot of knowledge there.
I am one of these city girls who takes the car for every thing, so I can only dream of cycling, but this is also due to extreme workpressure.

This is my friend, Emily. We decided to purchase some confetti from Dollarama and experiment with it. Unfortunately, it was freezing (can't really tell from these pics LOL) so we didn't take pictures for too long :s Hoping for warm, spring weather some time this week so we can redo this experiment!
On the way to teach ,and suddenly --through my newly schooled eyes !! --noticed the side of the law faculty building--and decided to experiment again!
An experiment with expired film
Shot on PC 400 (President's Choice), a supermarket branded film from The Real Canadian Superstore, unknown expiry, rated at ISO/ASA 100. The canister says product of the Netherlands, but from the DX code 005783, this appears to be Fujicolor Superia 400.
Since this roll of film was expired, I decided to experiment with the developing process, so I soaked or "souped" the film in orange pekoe tea with lemon for 14 hours before developing. By accident, I had not twisted and locked the developing tank all the way, so after the developer, the tank top came off as I was pouring out the water used to wash/stop the developer; however, I don't think this affected the outcome much.
I can see a bit of red in some shots, but all other colours were washed off. I might try again, even with fresh film, and less time in the soup, with possibly other "cooking" ingredients.

Right partner, here is what I came up with - but feel free to bring me to a grinding halt if it doesn't rock your boat. A square in a square sort of block in bright colours (and let's not forget a wee bit of HR). If you like I can do a couple more. If not, back to the drawing board. And do you prefer the navy or grey Essex linen for the background. I know what I prefer but this is about you, not me.
