I thought it was going to be a great weekend sunset. But I was wrong. Frustrated, but I still had to shoot to get the best that my time can spend.
I ordered the pattern from Etsy, reduced it some, and made this catnip fish for our cat family. (hand-stitched, mind you) Instead of filling it completely with dried catnip, I made a cylindrical pouch and inserted it along with the stuffing.
As you'll see in the following photographs, there just hasn't been much enthusiasm for the fish toy. I wonder if Jimmy made a peace pact with the fish.
When you are trying to make the most of it to be a surprise but its just your luck ! I would blame it on my outfit? Merry... Oh no!!
I've been tagged :) This edit failed a little bit... Oh well. PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN GLEE WEEK!
Song for today: Gives you hell, Glee Cast. Watch the real video to understand where this picture came from :)
TEN random facts:
1. For {dramadancer1} ♥: I use Photo Studio 5.5, which came with a Canon scanner. It's essentially Elements.
2. I have the manliest arms on a 17 year old girl you've ever seen. Unless you're a gymnast, too.
3. When I edit my pictures and change color balance, I almost always drive up the yellow balance a lot. I think it looks prettier :)
4. I love mascara. Whenever I use it, I apply a TON.
5. I've never broken a bone, but I have had surgery due to muscle tear.
6. History is my worst subject. I'm not too interested in it and I'm horrible at memorizing. D:
7. I used to text and talk like a maniac, but now I feel like I spend all my time either taking pictures or studying.
8. I'm really good at video games for some reason, but I don't like them (minus Rockband/Band Hero)
9. My mom recently showed me her camera from before - a film camera, obviously - a Pentax K2. I'm really bummed that film isn't sold for it anymore, because otherwise I'd be using it 24/7.
10. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE LADY GAGA GLEE TONIGHT (:

♥ Brandy B ♥, himynameisan, blindbeth67, and VanillaTwilight, you owe us all a photo of yourself with ten random facts :)
5.25
A learning curve, for sure. Tracked the stars, 4 shots for 30s each camera position. Stacked each frame in Starry Landscape Stacker and output using the mean algorithm, cropped parts of the landscape in Ps, then stitched 30 final images in AutoPano Giga.
Fixed and replaced with a more vertical projection, learning, always. Although this one feels a bit tall...
Following on from the 'failed' sunrise at Tewet Tarn we dropped down out of the clouds to Isthmus Bay on Derwentwater and found some stunning conditions, from thee still waters of Derwentwater to the low cloud hugging the side of Catbells and the Borrowdale Valley ahead, such a beautiful morning to be out with the camera
This American Coot came up with the equivalent of an "old boot" after "fishing" at King Gillette Ranch, Malibu CA.

I'm between work and orchestra practice. Not only has my schedule not allowed me to do much more than work and sleep, there have been multiple crises within my family and friends over this past weekend.
I'm to the point where words fail me. Not because I am the one hurting, but because I'm watching others hurt.
I've little or no time to 'flickr' until Friday... please forgive.
Clock work(s)
I think my father was a frustrated engineer. For most of his life he was involved in looking for oil, working out ways to get it out and then to transport and refine it efficiently.
When he retired one of his many hobbies was horology, the study of clocks. He used to buy old broken ones at auctions, dismantle them, fix them and put them back together. Well, that was the theory!
Inevitably the number of clocks dismantled way exceeded the number put back together. This is an image of a tin of his leftover bits of clocks that I have kept. I guess I have kept them partly to remind me of him, but also, quite perversely and worryingly, because I actually like them. I guess I’m a frustrated something or other too :)
There are lots of bits in this image: an escapement for regulating the power from the spring or weights (top left), two parts of a strike mechanism (the large cog with spikes underneath and the arc of metal with teeth), a tiny drum for winding clock weight cord and a pulley in the background.
I like the patina and corrosion on the metal so tried to bring that out in the processing.
This is for the Macro Mondays group’s theme this week Cogwheel. The image is just over 2 inches across.
Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Macro Mondays.
[Tripod in daylight with white card reflector; focused in Live View; remote release.
Ten images focus stacked in Affinity Photo.
Curves in LAB mode to strengthen colours and to tweak the contrast. A touch of added saturation and vibrance.
A bit of tidying up with inpainting, but there is a lot of dust and fluff which adds a bit to the feel of the image so I left most of it.
Sharpened using Unsharp Mask for the fine stuff and High Pass filter/Linear blend mode for the big stuff.
Slight dark vignette… and we’re done :) ]
8f class locomotive 48305 is seen on shed at Haworth 1940s weekend. The loco is in light steam as it had failed earlier in the day
VWH2309 LK17DFE seen at King's Cross working on route 17 towards Archway.
It was said that Frogs like the one photoed could "not" do 17 due to the "extended overhang". The said original batch are currently working on route 7.
Rien ne peut nous vaincre.
rien ne peut nous arrêter.
Nous seuls sommes un obstacle.
Restons ensemble.
Marchons, pas à pas sur ce chemin.
J'ignore ce que sera demain, Mais je peux déjà le construire maintenant.
Je ne marche plus seul, je le sais.
I'm in love with you, you silly thing
Anyone can see
What is it with you, you silly thing
Just take it from me
It was not a chance meeting
Feel my heart beating
You're the one
You could take all this, take it away
I'd still have it all
Cause I've climbed the tree of life
And that is why, no longer scared if I fall
When I get lost in space
I can return to this place
Cause, you're the one
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
You washed away my tears
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
Nothing fails
I'm not religious
But I feel so moved
Makes me want to pray,
Pray you'll always be here
I'm not religious
But I feel such love
Makes me want to pray
When I get lost in space
I can return to this place
Cause, you're the one
I'm not religious
But i feel so moved
Mmmm mmm...
I'm not religious
Makes me want to pray
I'm not religious
But i feel so moved
Makes me want to pray
Pray you'll always be here
I'm not religous
But i feel such love
makes me want to pray
I'm not religious (I'm not religious)
But I feel so moved (but it makes want to pray)
I'm not religious (I'm not religious)
Makes me want to pray (But it makes me want to pray)
I'm not religious (makes me want to)
But I feel so moved (pray)
I'm not religious (pray)
Makes me want to pray (pray)
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
You washed away my tears
Nothing fails
No more fears
Nothing fails
Madonna, Nothing fails
37612 passes Cheney Longville with 97302 on the rear working 6C47 18.12½ Bescot to Bescot via The Marches and Heart of Wales line. 37612 would fail later that evening.
I'm stopping my 365 project and I thought about this very well. I know that taking pictures every day could help somebody improving and growing so much as a person and artist but I just feel like this is not the right way for me as a photographer. I'm used to taking picture when I have the right mood and I really cannot handle this pressure I put on myself. I just feel like I'm not getting better but just the other way around. Even if I only tried this one picture a day for only two weeks, I realized how much work it is and how much you have to love photography. I think my love is not that big for taking pictures everyday it's more a fun thing I do and I just don't want to lose this fun...
I really feel like I should start something new, more relaxed. I feel like I should delete some pictures of this stream and keep this stream only with the pictures I LIKE because that is what life is about - doing the things you like- isn't it ?
Sorry for this text ._. but I just had to write this.

this
not this

flicker
gasp
and fade
fall to static
to peace
to pieces.
If you ever wondered what Truck vs. Bridge looked like, here it is.
This had obviously just happened. The cops werent there yet. The poor guy was sitting in the cab on his cell phone, with a "I don't even know what happened" look on his face.
Sad, kind of. There's no way that this isn't a terminable offense.
