FOUND photos on Flickr

This is a film that I found in a camera that I got from someone in the village near where I live. The camera was kept in a damp old garden shed for about 25 years, in extreme heat, and cold.I managed to get a few images off of the roll, even though I opened the back of the camera, not realising there was a film in it. I believe these were taken around the mid 80's looking at the reg of the Ford Capri, at Sibson Aerodrome in Cambridgeshire.

The Film is Ilford FP4, Developed In Caffenol C-H for 12 1/2 minutes, @ 20 degrees C. The negatives came out really thin, but managed to get scans.

Digging in a folder of older images not posted before, I found this long exposure of the More London area and the Shard, taken from the edge of Tower Bridge with my first DSLR, the Canon 550D.

I like the blues here and the glowing silver reflections in the Thames ...

There is no Photoshop here!

I only had to burn three matches to find pareidolia.

Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus, usually an image or a sound, by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists.

Common examples are perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations, hidden messages within recorded music played in reverse or at higher (or lower) than normal speeds, and hearing indistinct voices in random noise such as that produced by air conditioners or fans. (Wikipedia®)

Found an old print from about 1979. Pentax MX with an autowinder controlled with a home made 10m long wired remote. The flash was an ancient Metz modified to run off a 6v lead acid battery as I could not afford a continuous supply of AA's at the time. It was probably ilford fp4 film push processed to 250asa. Printed in the bathroom with an 1940's enlarger.

Not sure if this new fangled digital photography will ever catch on.

I LOVE Canola by Anne Elliott

"In the 1970s, canola was created through traditional plant cross-breeding by removing two things found in the rapeseed plant: glucosinolates and erucic acid. Erucic acid was removed because it was believed to be inedible or toxic in high doses. The newly developed plant was renamed "canola" – a combination of "Canadian" and "Oil" (or ola) to make this difference apparent." From the link below.

I absolutely love the time of year when the fields turn bright yellow with the Canola flowers. The day before yesterday was the first day I had been out when I saw any fields with the crop fully in bloom. I have to admit that I don't like the smell of Canola, but the colour is so spectacular and pretty. In this shot, the sky is beginning to darken, ready to rain a little later.

These two old, wooden barns were part of a CPR Demonstration Farm. I have added a previously posted photo in a comment box below, showing the whole farm.

"The home, the barn, everything seen in this yard once served a rather unique and special purpose. Operating as a fully functioning “demonstration farm”, near Vulcan Alberta, and tied to the Canadian Pacific Railway, it was a show piece of sorts a century ago, promoting the region’s agricultural potential. Prospective settlers would be told where to acquire land and of course similar farm buildings, what crops to grow and how to do it efficiently, what equipment to purchase, what techniques to use and so on.

The CPR had a vested interest, of course, in the success of this endeavour. They’d profit both on the sale of these kit farms and then again, many-fold, on the resultant business brought to the railway through the moving of inbound materials needed by all those new settlers; and outbound agricultural products the area would produce. And the transporting of people in and out, all the stuff needed for new towns that would spring up, and any industry established there, they too all moved by railway. It was win-win for the CPR!"

The day before yesterday, 1 July 2017, was a great day, spent with friend, Pam. I picked her up just after 8:00 am and did a long drive in Southern Alberta. We saw our target bird - a Common Nighthawk, and all sorts of other things including plants and old barns. It took a round trip of 414 km to get the Nighthawks, but it was so worth it! Much further than I normally drive. Towards the end of our day, the rain arrived, accompanied by lightning streaks. This couldn't have been timed more perfectly, to wash off a lot of the dust that covered my car after 12 hours of driving hot, dusty roads! So welcome! We have another hot day today and the forecast is for very hot days for at least the next week. So far, the forecast is 33C for Friday, 35C for Saturday and 31C for Sunday.

It was such a thrill to see a Common Nighthawk / Chordeiles minor (a rather strange looking bird), as I had always wanted to see one actually lying on a fence post or wooden railing. People get such amazing photos of them like that, and that is what I was determined to find this summer. Last year, I had driven to this area in Southern Alberta, hoping to find one, but had been out of luck. Though I ended up with the one in the photo I posted yesterday, lying on a hard, metal railing that lacked character, I'm still happy as can be. Not only did friend Pam and I see this one, but there were three other Nighthawks there, too. Two of the others were also on a metal rail, but the fourth was on a fence post - not the best angle, but it was still nice to see a fence post perch. How close we came to missing them. I said I wanted to just check the first part of a small side road first, before continuing on the road we were on - and there they were! I had seen a nighthawk on maybe five different occasions over the years, but most were in flight and one was perched very high up in a tree. For Pam, this was the first time she had ever seen one, and she was so happy to see this lifer.

"On warm summer evenings, Common Nighthawks roam the skies over treetops, grasslands, and cities. Their sharp, electric peent call is often the first clue they’re overhead. In the dim half-light, these long-winged birds fly in graceful loops, flashing white patches out past the bend of each wing as they chase insects. These fairly common but declining birds make no nest. Their young are so well camouflaged that they’re hard to find, and even the adults seem to vanish as soon as they land." From AllABoutBirds.

I was so tired after driving such a long distance and it was a hot day - the temperature got up to 30C. I so rarely do such a long drive, and I've barely driven all winter and spring. It felt so good to actually get out on a long drive like this, and we saw all sorts of interesting things that we just had to stop and photograph - of course!

Every single time I go out with my camera for a drive, I never forget to be SO thankful to live in a country where I have the freedom and safety to go where I want, and to see such beauty. Thank you, Alberta and Albertans - and Happy 150th Birthday, Canada! Such a young country.

The new book I am listening to is "Don't Touch Me" by Howie Mandel. I love autobiographies and have the utmost respect for people who share the deepest parts of themselves with others. Howie talks about his struggles with OCD & ADHD and what led him to comedy. I am not very far into the book yet but so far it is interesting. It feels paralyzing to me to share the intimate details of my life with others and lately I haven't been writing my captions like I used to because I realized that there are some people who actually read them. For some reason I am more self conscious when friends and acquaintances comment than when online contacts do.

PS - I found myself crawling around on the ground using the light streaming through the slats in my fence to shoot this today.

found photo, kids by just another drop out?

I found this shot on the same roll of film as the one of my friend. I usually remember something about a shot, but not in this case. About all I can say is that it was from Charlotte, NC, 1972 or 73. This was back when if you were wandering around with a camera, kids would often say "take my picture, take my picture." I'm glad I did, even if it has taken 40 plus years to see the light of day.

Found this woman outside the Pashupathinath temple complex. Attired in safron clothes, creased forehead stating experience , deep in thought, and a simple life it seemed. Maybe hard , but I will never know !

This trip was a reset for my mind and turn for my photography or approach to it.

Used the Manny Librodo technique here

A few clown-fish that swim around around on the coral reef of the Perhintian islands. they were swimming around here and there - sometimes just a few but here and there many of them where at the same place. This is a closeup of a few of them.

You can see other shots of Malaysia in general in my Malaysia set.

You could watch this Large On Black since that brings out more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background.
