Two jigsaws cut by WG Barton, of Ravensdale, Old Bushey, Herts. (These are the only two in my records.)
Centre Right: WG Barton 80pc Summer Flower Garden, 3repl, image possibly 1889, unsold Feb 2021.
Left Half, including diagonal: WG Barton 252pc Old Tapestry 12x13in or 11x12in, sold in Aug 2015 by stgenix (resold Feb 2020, when I bought it). (The photos are from different dates) An interesting loopy longarm cut. Stgenix said the print was from the CE Clifford Gallery. Could WG Barton be the cutter of the loopy CE Clifford jigsaws?
Bottom Centre & Right: Two examples of jigsaws made for CE Clifford & Co Ltd, Picture Restorers, Carvers, Guilders, Print Sellers, Publishers & Framemakers, of 12 Bury St, St James' London SW which are not cut in the smooth push-fit style of William Peacock. The cuts are interesting with rounded longarms and include line-cutting and traces of interrupted edges.

Francois is from the Cameroon and speaks English with a heavy French accent. Deals in frames and stuff and he was prepared to ship anywhere. There a lot of shops in the area selling these made from recycled or distressed wood I found out later.
These kitties were playing with each other, one prowling the other. I wouldn't want to be in the middle of these two! They're look adorable though.

Just back from a trip to the left coast! Went to this place where they have fabulously large deserts (Claim Jumper - great for my new years diet!) and found this odd looking light fixture!
I've been working on a new version of the frame maker ... tons o fun! This is the start ...
new version of frame maker I have lots of plans for future enhancements!
This is looking through the window of an artist and frame makers shop in the art district in Lynchburg, Virginia…
This beach is so close to my place but this is the first time I've been there. Met fellow Flickrites dougalug and cyclingbill!
This is the first image I've messed with via Gimp. I just discovered the wonderful world of fink and how much software is available for X11 on the Mac. Amazing. It is going to take me some time to figure this all out. I used one of the Gimp filters to place this lens flare.
Gimp, I guess stands for Graphics Image Manipulation Program, is like Photoshop - except for the price. It is free and it is great. Has layers - just like ps - and filters - just like ps - and is pretty quick (even on an old Mac mini ;) ).
Spent time with my lovely wife so I wasn't able to see images of my precious Flickr friends today. I'll try to catch up tomorrow. :)
I wish th balloons didn't sway as much but it's a nice contrast to the sharp tents on the right. Still, 5 second exposure on manual exposure.
Good night! :)

Taken at Bayard Cutting Arboretum. Shot with Nikon 70-200mm VR f/2.8 at 200mm f/4. That lens makes great bokeh. I use it almost all the time.

I first thought to wait until there was no people, but as that looked unlikely I thought wait until someone was lined up with the door and use slow shutter.

This image was taken at Kings Park Bluff, one morning with scubapup.
I can still hear the cardinals outside from time to time. Even dropping by real close at one point so I placed some bird feeds in a container near my door. I don't hear them anymore. Just a lone dove on a neighbor's roof.
First time to successfully use flash for macro. External SB-600 flash in shoe. Image is flat... Must find a way to move flash away from camera body to the side. Natural light is best but this is better than not having sufficient light. Real macro flash like the R1C1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System is also very good but costs a lot of money.
Handheld, 70-200mm VR 2.8@ f/10. The ISO is at 800 only because I failed to reset it back to 200! Don't consider the focal length since I use it to focus so it doesn't matter in this case. I try to get close as possible because the shorter the focal length, the closer I can focus. The beauty of this set up is that you can stay away if the subject is camera shy or get closer for near 1:1 image if possible.
Manual mode, I then set the aperture and shutter speed to almost ANYTHING i want then the flash compensates (flash priority? :P). In this case, I set it to f/10 @ 1/250th of a second. I also tried 1/350th of a second and I STILL got the same exposure. Pretty neat!

I'm a bit frustrated with macro -- I rarely get a decent shot most of the time. A lot of them are blurry and no matter how much I do, I don't seem to improve. (I'm not talking about motion blur. For some reason, the lens wouldn't properly focus on low light)
I used to use the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Macro but when I tried the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR, I had more success with it. The problem is, it is not a macro lens so I'm thinking of buying some extension tubes to make the focusing distance closer. I had to do significants crops on my current images to get closer but with the extension tubes, I will not have to do that. The D50 only has 6.1MP so every pixel count to make sure I have enough for large prints.
I can't afford a dedicated macro lens right now and if I had the money, I would purchase a more competitive camera body first. The D50 is great but as you progress, the limitations of a beginner DSLR will frustrate you. I hope I win the lotto. lol!
No editing done. 5 second manual exposure. Thanks jowy_e for the settings. :D
May mumu dito! (There is a ghost here!)
Mrs. William Loring Andrews
•Artist: George Augustus Baker Jr. (1821-1880)
•Date:1861-63
•Medium: Oil on canvas
•Dimensions: 30 × 25 in. (76.2 × 63.5 cm)

This portrait has an unusual oak frame that appears to have been constructed by a cabinetmaker rather than a traditional framemaker. It was likely made to match the furnishings and architectural details of a room in the sitter’s home. Jane Crane Andrews (1840–1930), seen here around the time of her marriage, was later a member of the board of the Woman’s Hospital and the National Society of Colonial Dames. Her husband, William, was a trustee of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and organized its library in 1880.

PEP Magni was a bike shop located in Baggio, Italy, and owned by Peppino
Magni, the former mechanic of the Italian Professional Team (Fiorenzo
Magni, the great "third man of Italian cycling," was a member of this
team)-thus the name "PEP" Magni. However, the framesets were made for
Peppino Magni during the period 1975-1980 by Giovanni Losa in Vittuone.
Losa is a very respected framemaker who produced bikes under his own name
and for others including Cinelli. Although Mr. Losa's firm still exists,
he suffered a stroke two years ago and, sadly, is no longer active.
According to Mr. Granzotto, the "top of the line" PEP Magni" framesets
were made with Cinelli lugs.

Regardless on how good my lens was (nikon 70-200mm VR 2.8), combining it with a 2x pro teleconverter significantly degraded the quality of my images hence my decision to buy a longer lens.
This was taken with a 400mm close to 10 feet and using a flash (at full power) as fill light but I think it didn't have enough reach (SB-600) but still it did improve it a bit. I bought a "better beamer" flash extender and see if that makes a difference.
This is a close-up shot not macro as most people would think. A macro means 1:1 or closer. Nikon prefers to use the term micro but it is just the same as macro.

Testing his Tamron 90mm f/2.8. This was taken at f/8.
aw hey look at that, it's my desktop ("desktop," by the way, is a really strange word and hard to pronounce, even within one's head)

We went to an open house at a nearby college ... C.W. Post. Seems like Sunday is the day to fly a kite at Post!
They had a slide show their ... and asked "what did C.W. Post invent?" The answer: The cereal! I've asked a few people I know that go there - no one knew! Funny part is they say that the only cereal served is Kelloggs :)
In a frame
This photo shows the frame after the second of three layers of toning.
The first layer is a wash of Van Dyke Brown casien paint. The whole frame is painted thinly, then wiped back with a damp rag. This allows the paint to lay thickly in the crevices and details (places that would also hold accumulations of dust and grime) while giving a faint, darkening haze to the frame overall. After the paint is dry, I seal it with thin orange shellac.
Shellac, incidentally, is pretty interesting stuff. It's made from bug poop, you know! The Lac beetle is native to southeast Asia. It eats a particular tree sap, then craps out gobs of "lac". These gobs are gathered up and soaked in alcohol until they dissolve. It's then allowed to dry into thin brittle sheets. The sheets crumble into flakes, which is how I buy it. Unlike premixed shellac, I get greater control of color and consistency. The flakes are sold in a variety of colors from "Blond" which is nearly clear, to "Ruby Red". Mostly I use Orange and Amber. I soak it for 24 hours in denatured alcohol, then mix it again to the consistency I need.
The second wash, shown by this photo, is Burnt Sienna Casien. It is a thiner wash, but not wiped back so much. It gives a warm depth to the details. Again, it's sealed with shellac.
Trying out techniques to increase details.
Aargh, I can't wait! The Kenko extension tubes I ordered from B&H is arriving today at my uncle's video store. I gotta get them this afternoon so I have something to play with tonight. :D
