And learning how to use Lightroom 5...I am used to old Photoshop CS4 but decided to try Lightroom 5 and I love it! There is however a learning curve and I have experienced some frustration. But it is indeed a great program and I do recommend it.

 

Hope all is well in the world of Flickr!

  

As the summer progresses, the number of sailboat photos on my hard drive end up increasing...the outcome of living in a maritime city! Learning to sail is something that I want to accomplish in the near future, while this boathouse is for MIT students, there is a sailing academy open to the public on the opposite side of the river.

 

Normally, I prefer Velvia 50, but RVP100 has noticeably more exposure latitude, as seen here, and I really like how the old Soviet lens rendered the scene! Detailed but with a touch of vintage softness. I think it works well for scenes like this.

 

The seller had told me that my Contax IIa's shutter speeds were calibrated well enough to handle slide film, so for the fun of it I ran this roll through it. I was very pleasantly surprised by how the photos came out, aside from some metering mistakes, everything looked properly exposed. Think I've found another favorite film-lens combo!

This guy had just started flapping around the nest which was fun to observe. Unfortunately we had to leave before we saw his first real flight, which I imagine happened soon after.

..flying into one of many weekends of 2016, wishing you all a most excellent happy year :))

One of the adult sandhill cranes showing the colt how to pull corn kernels from a husk of corn...a really neat experience to watch.

Another night photo. I expect that you take in consideration how hard it is to get a goot night picture with iPhone 6s... I'm doing my best and still learning

The fawns are learning to graze. Still reliant on momma's milk, though. Yearling buck behind this fawn. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

"Well I started out down a dirty road

Started out all alone

And the sun went down as I crossed the hill

And the town lit up, the world got still

 

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings

Coming down is the hardest thing

 

Well the good ol' days may not return

And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

 

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings

Coming down is the hardest thing

 

Well some say life will beat you down

Break your heart, steal your crown

So I've started out, for God knows where

I guess I'll know when I get there

 

I'm learning to fly, around the clouds,

But what goes up must come down

 

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings

Coming down is the hardest thing"

Learning to Fly

This Red Fox Kit has a lot to learn from it's parents about the art of concealment.

Still getting used to the Mamiya RB67. its weight, its pace, and the way it makes me approach a photograph.

 

These were made at Arthi, a factory I know well, on Fomapan 100. I’m still figuring out the visual language of the RB67, but I’m beginning to enjoy how much it forces me to slow down, observe, and accept a little uncertainty.

…I assume this is a forerunner of sailing and a good place to start and learn how to harness the wind. Missing the sea already - I want to go back, this was taken at Coverack on the Lizard in Cornwall. Have a great week folks, Alan:-)…..

My first attempt at one of these architectural, B&W long exposures. I'm not going to tell you how many kajillion trillion hours* I spent creating manual selections to try and get the contrast the way I wanted it. Or how much time I spent trying to fix the botched job I made of certain edges.

 

This is the Glasgow University Library building on Gilmorehill, just off University Avenue. A fairly ugly building if you ask me. I remember my first visits to the library, back in olden days when I was a student. Surfing the early internet on steam-powered computers using Netscape Navigator, and just generally not studying or doing anything remotely academic. Good times.

Mountain Goat kid and its buddy, a yearling, on the edge of their world atop Mount Evans, Colorado. The yearling seemed like a good buddy to all the kids in this group, playing with them and watching them while the nanny goats foraged.
