"Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!" (Frankenstein, 1931)
Happy Macro Monday! (HMM!)
It's Alive!
(p.s. relax, only a garden slug!)
For a long time this was the "forbidden chair", but I eventually gave up & allowed Daisy to go on it. Now it's still forbidden - she gets very cross if I dare to sit on her chair! Unfortunately it's the most comfortable chair in my home...
Happy Caturday!
In the middle of a sunlit street
Seeing thoughts on repeat
But I'd rather get something to eat
Feeling senseless and beat
And I wonder at the chance that we'll meet
You're the one that I miss
From last summer when I'd stolen a kiss
Hear the endless hiss
As it rolls into the starlit abyss
All my dreams reminisce
Never thought this time it'd be like this
Deadbeat summer
It's just a deadbeat summer
It's so easy from above
You can really see it all
People who belong together
Lost and sad and small
But there's nothing to be done for them
It doesn't work that way
Sure we all have soulmates but we walk past them every day
A lawn reimagined. It's a growing trend.
You know I just get so excited when Pantone announces its Color of the Year so I wanted to do something to celebrate. For 2017, it's Greenery. One thing I like about it is how well it plays with other colors. It's refreshing and it naturally becomes one with other greens. Let's go where the grass is greener...

It's an orange (fruit) and it's blue.
This composition was about five days in the making while I worked out the technicalities of actually taking and processing it for Macro Mondays. Fortunately, the Flickr Friday theme announcement also fitted it perfectly, so I invested even more time into getting it right. It was important to me that this was going to be a good macro photo, even before the post-processing I had planned.
What is it? A clementine orange cut in half, illuminated with a mobile phone torch at very short range and captured with a tilted Schneider-Kreuznach 1:5.6/135mm enlarging lens at f/8 to get the depth of field sharp across the entire surface. It's slightly fuzzy at the extremities, but good enough. I used a Kopil Bellowsmat at full extension on a Nikon FTZ converter to mount the enlarging lens. I hadn't had much success with tilting the lens before (it seems that it doesn't actually take very much tilting and I was over-doing it). Cable-release was used so that I could manipulate the torch easily without touching the camera body.
In PP, I've inverted the colours, so red was switched to cyan, green to magenta and blue to yellow. However the brightness wasn't changed, so it's not like a colour negative. I also tweaked the image tones a bit after the change, as it had a bit of a colour cast. I tried extending the frame to the right to create some negative space, but in the end, I cropped in tight to the subject.
...so I walk up on high and I step to the edge, to see my world below. And I laugh to myself while the tears roll down, 'cause it's the world I know. --Collective Soul
It's called calm and it cost me many storms.
Calm is called and when it disappears…. I go out again to search for him.
It's called calm and it teaches me to breathe, to think, and to rethink.
It is called calm and when madness tempts it, wild winds are unleashed that are difficult to control.
It is called calm and it comes with the years when the ambition of youth, the loose tongue and the cold belly give way to more silences and more wisdom.
It is called calm when you learn to love well, when selfishness gives way to giving and nonconformity fades to open your heart and soul, giving yourself whole to whoever wants to receive and give.
Calm is called when the friendship is so sincere that all the masks fall and everything can be counted.
It's called calm and the world evades it, ignores it, inventing wars that no one will ever win.
Calm is called when silence is enjoyed, when the noises are not just music and madness but the wind, birds, good company or the noise of the sea.
It is called calm and with nothing you pay, there is no coin of any color that can cover its value when it comes true.
It is called calm and it cost me many storms and I would go through them a thousand times more until I found it again.
It's called calm, I enjoy it, I respect it and I don't want to let go ...

Steel Rim V2 2022, open aperture 1.4. Clearly visible vignette, which only disappears completely at aperture 4 -5.6. But I love this lens with its 60-year-old calculation. It's vintage look :-)

I love this tree in my garden and that way it changes through the year. It's featured a few times on my 365 so far in 2017.

Another hot and smoky day. I didn't go out, so I had to do some archive diving. This Great Blue Heron has the right idea...stay wet to stay cool. Dunk your head, even if you're not really catching a fish.

It's rather difficult to do it... I prefer to look at the view !

wish you a nice sunday :)
Now
Let's look for birds!
The tall iron branches
in the forest,
The dense
fertility on the ground.
The world
is wet.
A dewdrop or raindrop
shines,
a diminutive star
among the leaves.
The morning time
mother earth
is cool.
The air
is like a river
which shakes
the silence.
It smells of rosemary,
of space
and roots.
Overhead,
a crazy song.
It's a bird
-Pablo Neruda

This kiss in the wind it's for you. You can reach, perhaps now, your goal, that world so different you don't ever see. Only it wasn't going so... now we are all a little alone more...
It's for you.
It's amazing how a cold, wet trout, in the hand, changes your attitude. Fifteen minutes into my first real trout outing of the year, this 15 inch Brown Trout rose to the surface and grabbed my midge imitation. I released the fish! Thanked the fish gods! And I was good with the world.
This is the image I wanted to get, I saw it in my mind before I made it! I made about fifteen images of this fish, and most of them were blown out. Processing was done in Aperture 3 and On 1 Perfect Effects. Believe me this image didn't look anything like this out of the camera. Today processing is at least half the image making.
Camera settings: ISO 125, aperture f/4, shutter 1/160, focal length 8.8mm
wild brown trout
fooled by a tiny midge imposter
then feeling the sting
but he’s alive
and so am I
