this week's MM theme: lost/found
I can't count the number of times I have lost a lens cap, only to have it eventually show up in a pocket somewhere.
Sonya snapped this picture of me as I tried to put the lenscap back on my camera.

This was a beautiful morning for photography, if only my planning was up to scratch. Watch my YouTube Video and see the entire 'behind the scenes' shoot.

First of a set of three photos taken whilst light painting with Clinton Parker, who was the model for this photo. Double exposure in single exposure using lens cap replacement technique. Remote shutter release, 3 seconds before replacing lens cap, panned camera on tripod to align with pre-assigned mark on wall, removed lens cap for further 3 seconds before closing shutter. Nailed it on first attempt! Backlit with BLF Q8 flashlight (on just 25% power) on tripod. Starbursts from 2 red gelled Thorfire TK15S flashlights (on 48% power) attached to headband. Post processed from 21sec RAW exposure in Adobe Lightroom 6. As always, no photoshop!
Day 2, the first born little girl next to my lens cap !
We've all got one of those to compare against :))
ok... not really.
it comes naturally.
Don't YOU sing odes to your lens caps?
I may have been singing "Love Will Tear Us Apart."
I had to fight for this one. Gale force winds, driving rain, sleet and hail, all made worthwhile for those seconds of fleeting light. Check out my Youtube channel for a vlog on this shoot.

For Monday Mar. 4, 2024.
The lens cap on my Vivitar 35mm wide angle lens. Bought the lens used many years ago, and subjected it to a lot of use and abuse.
For Utata's Iron Photographer 21 challenge, which was posted 18 years ago and required three separate elements:
1. Fruit (an apple)
2. Something black (lens cap & hood)
3. Close up (tick)
After a pre-dawn hike to the summit of Beinn a' Chrulaiste and a wonderful dawn shoot, I though the light was done. Stomping back down the hill, I was treated to a few seconds of glorious light streaming down the valley. I only had a moment to grab my camera and fire off a quick handheld bracketed exposure. Glad I did!

You might have noticed I am loyal to my Nikon but I'm always interested to see how people use their Canons. Seems this lady is having problems with her lens cap sticking :)
Happy Halloween!!
Edit: And now celebrating All Blacks winning World Cup Rugby!!!
PS I have great respect for all users of Canon cameras!
One of natures great compositions; the Mer de Glace in the French Alps. I was blessed with beautiful light on this morning, which made the 2700ft hike well worth the effort.

Lost my lens cap after being kind of chased by a horse for this photo. Farewell lenscap.
Farewell.
Well, what can I say? I live 5 minutes from this spot and have photographed it a hundred times, but I have never seen anything like this.
Looking out of my window, I saw the wind was changing and it was clear that a storm was brewing. I dashed to my car and headed for the place I know best. What a show this storm was; thunderous, swirling clouds, howling winds and hail stone! I could not have timed it better as it went as fast as it came. Brilliant!

photography gear for Macro Mondays: somehow I have accumulated lots of these, which occupy one of the pockets in my camera bag.
Watch with red filter on left eye and cyan on right. In some suitable size.
Skull mug from Urquhart Castle. Generic pirate/viking/highland/whatever souvenir.
What I love most about this image is the detail. When looking closely at the image you can see an array of hidden details that do not jump out at you immediately. The stones on the floor, the dead, orange leaves clinging on to the silver branches, the sandstone in the background; it goes on. Every time I look at this image I see something new. You can see how I made this image on my Youtube channel. Link below.

A three dimension steel wool wall (wall, worm hole, ying yang) with the guys from Brunei Landscapiers silhoutte in the middle of the frame hahaha. Thanks for the invite, it was a privilege to be among the guests. SW Swinger and LED Painter was @Airbiscuit and the Location was dubbed the Bat Cave. The photo was out of camera (SOOC) with a little bit of cropping and clarity adjustment. This was done by moving around in three points of plane from the SW point with lens cap on the lens in between the move
Photography gear for Macro Mondays!
I had fun with this one! Persuading this Shield Bug nymph to pose on my lens cap. The blue hue is the reflection of a cloth bag I placed behind it. Take a look at my photo stream to see another example shot without the bag behind.
HMM!
I was fortunate enough to be blessed with some lovely backlight on this tree as it bares it's ripe fruit. The light didn't last, which makes it all the more special.

Ah quanto tempo que eu nao tinha alguma coisa "poser" por aqui ? :p
Bom, eu nao tinha nada pra fazer quando eu lembrei dessas famosas meias de 3 ou 4 anos atrás! Nossa, era demais!! Hoje serviu de "luvas" pra uma menina que nao tinha o que fazer :)
Ps: Desculpem - me se a foto não esta muito nítida, a culpa é toda da minha irmã má fotógrafa.

HPPT!...Sorry Nikon
Disclaimer: No Nikon lens caps were harmed in the making of this image. LOL
The other week I wanted to get hold of a half penny piece for one of the themes, unfortunately I didn’t source one in time. But I have one now, really small looks like toy money to me now...
The new ½p was introduced on 15 February 1971.
In 1982, the word "new" in "new penny" or "new pence" was removed from the inscriptions on coins, to be replaced by the number of pence in the denomination (i.e. "ten pence" or "fifty pence").
In 1984 the half penny was removed from circulation due to inflation making it a bit of a pointless amount of money...
Two things that don’t normally go together are small amounts of money and camera gear... I also gave it all a coating of water, I did shots with electricity and water last for last weeks theme, and I think that was probably the best bit , so I like a bit of water bokek.
Macro Monday theme: Unusual combinations
Explored: Highest position #94
Also seems appropriate for a bokeh Wednesday picture!
The noise of the volcano and it's power as the lava flows in to the ocean is phenominal. A completely unstoppable force of nature and I can't believe I was lucky enough to have the chance to photograph it. It was, however, a shame that the experience was somewhat ruined by inconsiderate tourists with no respect for other people or the volcano.
You can watch my YouTube Video and see the entire 'behind the scenes' shoot. Warts and all.
