It is a rainy day. Make sure your camera and lens are weather sealed or that your lens have a gasket. After 3pm it gets darker in winter, I shoot before 3pm because after that I must use higher ISO especially with bird in flight because I need at least 1/800 sec. When the hills get green, I will start landscape photography. I don’t need new gear next year because I have 3 prime lenses for bird photography. I started photography with zoom lenses such as Tamron 70-200mm 2.8. It was a good lens and I got good pictures. My favorite lens for gull in flight is 300mm. this range is good for birds that are close distance.

Throughout 2018 I have been busy working on a new photographic project in Scotland using my miniature figurines (the 'Little People').
My main hope is that this new series of photographs will help highlight the plastic / litter epidemic our country (and planet) is suffering from. Littering in general has always sickened me, and the 'Blue Planet II effect' really made me feel like I too could help highlight the issue using my own unique approach.
Earlier this year, I spent several days collecting bags full of plastic and rubbish that had been discarded (or washed up) next to beaches and lochs on the west coast of Scotland, mostly 'beauty' spots. I kept some of this plastic to make my work (recycling the rest) and returned to the banks of Loch Lomond a couple of months ago to photograph my latest series - LIFE IN PLASTIC.
Thanks for looking.

She gave us love. We got her from a rescue shelter.
Her fur was so soft. She could be feisty, loved our garden and her many places in the house to curl up in, including our laps.

83. Zoom Effect - 116 in 2016
It's bloomed out there.
I drift around, a cool wind is blowing
still, but the sun is strong enough,
to put color in my face.
A strong light and clarity lies over the gardens.
Nature is a gentle healer, so I am with her as often as I can.
I wanted to go back in my mind to Lisbon this week and revisit some of my photos from there before the pandemic started. What I ended up finding is that there were a few photos that seemed to tell a story of a turbulent relationship. At the same time, I recently watched the film The Worst Person in the World so the way relationships work or just don't work has been occupying my thoughts a lot lately.
I've had the good luck of finding my partner when I was just 18 and have that relationship last but I do have friends that don't really relate to the idea of wanting to be in a relationship and I think that's interesting too. Humans are kind of limited in the way they see things...you're either in a relationship or not/single. But, this also subconsciously presents the idea that you might want to be or even should be in a relationship and they clearly aren't for everyone.
I think the pandemic itself really put relationships to the test. Though my own grew stronger, I had a few colleagues and friends get divorced. In the American work obsessed culture, it is fairly easy as time goes by to become very career focused and start changing as a person. I think when two people do that, they might become a bit different than how they started out, especially after a number of years. There were all kinds of control issues people manifested too in sometimes dangerous ways. But, in addition, there were also couples who, when face to face all 24 hours didn't really recognize each other anymore.
In any case, this next week's series is about the arc of a new relationship and, it starts out with the want to be in one. The longing to share your ideas and experiences with someone can be quite a strong one and is what might cause you to consider the idea that you'd actually want to be with someone else.

The dramatic clouds I was hoping to capture in the sky last night must have known I was coming, because they quickly vanished when I arrived here. Grr!
Anyway, I decided to try something a little different today and give HDR a go for the first time. Hopefully I can attempt this with a more dramatic sky next time. Incidentally, San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge just turned 73 yesterday. It opened on May 27th, 1937. I had no idea! I guess I did pick the right evening to photograph her. Have a great weekend!

The Plaza de España ("Spain Square", in English) is a plaza located in the Parque de María Luisa (Maria Luisa Park), in Seville, Spain built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is a landmark example of the Regionalism Architecture, mixing elements of the Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival (Neo-Mudéjar) styles in Spanish architecture.

Steel toe DM. Often (even at the age of 50 something!) essential gig going footwear.
I've got a strange addiction to big crowds of people/strangers with one thing in common, whether it be the band or the team. One thing I'm not addicted to is having my toes stood on. Of course I could just move my ageing bones away from the crowd but where's the fun in that!
