With a new smartphone, what's more, a panorama ! Sorry I'm so slow these days. The phone arrived on Friday - a big step to upgrade to one of these from a very old, cheap android, so please be patient with me, I am finding it ever so confusing - I hope I haven't made a big mistake. As 'smartphones' go, it's so smart, it's outwitting me - but it's mine now, it's delivered and I signed for it - too late !
You might find this music appropriate - hope it makes you smile :-)

I hope you like this picture anyway, have a wonderful week to come. Thank you in advance for your kind comments and faves, I really appreciate each and every one.
I would request no multiple invites please, thanks.
240x15s exposures were taken every second in order to eliminate gap between the exposures thus making the trails look choppy. Images aligned and edited in Lightroom and then exported in StarStax were they were blended together
My first attempt at a triptych. I would have liked to have borders separating each image but that obviously hasn't transpired! I must have done something wrong. Back to the drawing board. :-)
This is my first attempt at photographing trails of light - outdoors. It was a spontaneous decision because I just wanted to know if I could do it. It was a typical Greta- action ;-) I forgot my remote shutter release, which made the whole thing difficult. Luckily I took the tripod with me ;-))! I would have liked to have done a 30 sec exposure, but without a remote shutter release - difficult! Good thing, one can start the shutter release delayed, I chose 2 sec and only had to stop the shutter release on the camera to end the exposure. I did it with a lot of feeling, haha, but at '30 sec, then a long exposure would be totally blurred and for the bin. Anyway, I enjoyed it and will try again with better organization, but definitely not going to try this at 5.30 AM! Normally in November it's so cold that you need gloves - not this November, good for me, because with so many settings I would have really cold hands.
Thanks to the seven birds who watched everything ;-) who knows, maybe they are sisters.
Happy Light Trails on Friday , everyone!
The other night we were treated to another unbelievably fiery sunset in E. Yorkshire so i was forced to stop to try my hand at an industrial seascape while doing the *Tesco food run. I missed the best of the colour as other photographers were in the prime spots so i decided to try this! Not the sharpest of images as it was a stitch and one of the shots was a bit blurry with the tripod sinking in to the wet sand, but was worth legging it the mile or so, just to witness the changes in colour that were reflected in the wet sand, as twilight became night.
Wishing everyone a top new week :-)

Been tidying up my laptop and directories and came across this image. It's one of my first attempts using a tripod for long exposures and been on my website since day one so I thought I'd upload it to Flickr as well if only for sentimental reasons.
Explore # 483 on Sunday, 24 January 2009 - the 279th
My first HDR attempt.
Single image, just adjusted different exposures in Picasa 3 and saved in three different files, each with a different exposure before working them out in Photomatix, then back to another software (Photo Explosion).
I ain't sure if what I did was right though.
My special thanks to Rodelicious for the encouragement.
My first ever go... it was a reasonable success.
One from the archives posted for Smile on Saturday theme Busy Hands.
HSoS :-)
Though it looked pitch black at the basin I realised how strong the surrounding light pollution is when going through my results. You can see Orion and surrounding stars. Will try more and better results when back to Australia in June
My first attempt at photographing the Milky Way. Nikon z5 and SamYang 14mm 2.8 lens. This is a single shot. And the light from the surrounding hills spoiled the photo a lot.
This is my very poor first attempt ever at doing a Pano sabotage artwork as seen in this very cool group here:
www.flickr.com/groups/2892788@N23/pool/
My smartphone that I've taken the shot above with - a bottom-of-the-range Samsung Galaxy J3 - doesn't even show up as a smartphone in the Exif info here.
However the phone does have the wherewithal to take panoramas and to pano-sabotage them, it's just that I can't seem to get the hang of it very well at all despite very kind and detailed instructions from Visionheart.
Having taken numerous shots outside in the city centre or parks for the past couple of weeks or so - looking like a woman crazed and in need of help, swaying and waving my arms about this way and that, and generally drawing attention to myself, and still not having anything usable to show for it - I started playing around indoors where no-one could see me apart from the odd bemused seagull outside that happened to look through the window: the image above is the best I could come up with: it is just a one- layered image of the only semi -usable pano-sabotage shot out of goodness knows how many that I took. It's obviously been recoloured, and I was loathe in a way to upload it to Flickr, having moved so far out of my artistic comfort-zone.
However, here it is - whether I will keep it in my photostream is another matter!
This was the first photo that I took with a modern SLR. In 1998, I got a Canon EOS 5 film camera. This was picture 1 on a 24-frame film, strangely this was by far the best picture on the film - after that it was downhill all the way.
As you know, I like very much nocturnal photos. This is my first attempt to shoot a nocturnal cityscape. Please let me know your opinion, I accept all kind of suggestion.
Taken from Sant' Ambrogio di Zoagli, Italy.

^^love that song :)
My english project, one of the pictures I was planning on taking for many months! There are so many projects, since it's the end of the year. 3 more pictures to take for the project :) Chuppy was being a good patient model. Oh, to be a photographer's dog.
I changed my icon again, LOL
Looks like someone already has a butterfly doggie one. I might change the icon again back to this when it's long lost in my stream though :)

Wow, thank you everyone. Second in Explore FP!! :)
Over 1000 views, wow! What a great surprise in the morning!
Finally decided to try to do the Orton Effect on one of my photos. I thought this shot would work well with it for a first try..... Here's the original photo. Please view large. Ranked #36 on Explore!

Weston-Super-Mare pleasure pier In the Bristol Channel.
The pier is privately owned, and supported by 600 iron piles and is 400 metres long. The original pavilion was completely destroyed in 2008 by fire and rebuilt at a cost of £39,000,000 and reopened in 2010.
Well my friends: today was my first real attempt at long exposures and although an iconic subject it is a first for me. It was absolutely freezing the wind was biting!! and of course I had forgotten, hat and gloves and gave up when I couldn't move because I was so cold and left the others I was with from "Image Seen" workshop and sort refuge in the car!!
This was taken with a Lee Polarizer, a 0.6 soft grad and a Big stopper (the latter borrowed) I had bought the others the day before the shoot but will have to save up for the big stopper!! :-)) Happy Clicking Everyone.
The Moon, my first attempt at taking a photo of the Moon, this was through an upstairs window, if I go outside it disappears behind the houses.
~EXPLORE~ !!!!!!!!!!
First ever attempt at light painting.....done during my recent trip with Dirt Cheap Photo Tours in the Tetons.
Grand Teton National Park
My first "succesfull" attempt shooting a deep sky object. I only used a DSLM, a tele lens and a sky tracker. Chapeau to all the great astrophotographers! Now I understand at least a little bit how much work and patience such a beautiful astro shot contains.
I know there's plenty of space between my picture of the andromeda galaxy, which seems to be propably the most easy deep sky object to shoot, and a good astrophotography. Therefore I'm very pleased for ever single advice to improve myself in this field of photography.
36x 2 min. light frame exposures @ISO1000
5x 2 min. dark frame exposures
10x 1/32.000 sec. bias frames
This is my first attempt ever at making Spelt Cinnamon Rolls. They have melted Goat butter, cinnamon sugar, and toasted walnuts inside. I brushed the tops with more butter butter and added more toasted walnuts. I can't wait to dig in!
This is my first attempt at Star Trails. Taken in my back garden while on holiday on the Norfolk Broads. Taken using 1x 30 minute exposure, not the correct way to do it but it worked for me :)
A friend and I went to a Photoshop workshop. It was great although the little grey cells found it all a bit overwhelming... This is my output from the session, which is nothing like anything else any of the others produced! So much to learn - thank goodness it's fun to do :-)
My first ever attempt at star trails with my Samyang 14mm 2.8. Loads of noise in the image and a few bad frames that could have been removed, I only got half the shots I wanted due to mist forming on the lens, lots learnt from this on to the next one!
[FR] Le 8 mai 1927, deux valeureux aviateurs qui tentaient de traverser l’Atlantique Nord sans escale à bord de leur biplan baptisé « L'Oiseau blanc » survolent les falaises d'Etretat. C'est la dernière fois qu'on aperçoit l'avion qui transporte Charles Nungesser et François Coli. Quelques semaines après la tentative de nos malheureux pilotes français, c'est finalement l'Américain Charles Lindbergh qui franchit l'Atlantique, de New York à l'aérodrome du Bourget aux commandes du « Spirit of Saint-Louis ». Cependant de récentes recherches menées par Bernard Décré laissent penser que Nungesser et Coli ont échoué en mer non loin des côtes américaines. En 1928, un monument fut érigé sur la falaise d'Amont en leur mémoire. Détruit en 1944, celui-ci fut remplacé en 1962 par une flèche en béton de 24 mètres de haut, inclinée à 60° et pointée vers le ciel. L'Oiseau Blanc [FR]
[EN] On May 8, 1927, French World War I heroes Charles Nungesser and François Coli, attempting to make the first non-stop flight from Paris to New York City in their biplane called "L'Oiseau blanc" flew over the cliffs of Etretat. This is the last time we see the plane carrying Charles Nungesser and François Coli. A few weeks after the attempt of our unfortunate French pilots, it is finally the American Charles Lindbergh who crosses the Atlantic, from New York to the airfield of Bourget at the controls of the "Spirit of Saint-Louis". However, recent research carried out by Bernard Décré suggests that Nungesser and Coli ran aground at sea not far from the American coast. In 1928, a monument was erected in Etretat on the Amont cliff in their memory. Destroyed in 1944, it was replaced in 1962 by a concrete spire 24 meters high, inclined at 60 ° and pointed towards the sky. The White Bird [EN]
