Lesson #1: Don't underexpose your film...
Luckily, I still have one more roll of this.
Shot on my Nikkormat using Kroger 200 film.
Okay, I'll admit it. I hit a processing point where every photograph I touched was not turning out. At all. It was very frustrating, so (along with participating in some holiday weekend activities) I took a break from pictures.
Today, I thought I'd give some of the images another go. And I was very excited with how they were turning out!
Hooray for a brief brain break! Hooray for the Farmer's Museum in Cooperstown!
And hooray for Distressed Jewell and SkeletalMess!!!!

We had just finished a wonderful tall mast sunset sailboat cruise this summer in Sister Bay, Wisconsin, and were walking back to the car. I happened to turn around and see this scene unfolding. I grabbed my camera one more time and ran down to the docks to capture this wonderful scene of a Father teaching his kids to fish in the last of the evening light.
Setup: 2 striplights left and right each containing a Speedlite to highlight the outline of the bottle. 1 Speedlite through diffused Rogue Grid for the label and 1 speedlite bounced off a Rogue Flashbender for the neck and spray. Bottle was sprayed with a matt coating, then the condensation added using Glycerin/water mix. All Speedlites fired at 1/32 power.
Lessons.
1. Reduce flash duration to 1/64th power to freeze the liquid.
2. Clean bottle properly before applying matt coating.
3. Centre the bottle around the label.
4. Neck lighting does not extend down enough
5. Waterproof the label to prevent damp patches.
Jean and headed out one day to shoot some wild horses she got a tip about. I'm not a horse person so I'm not really familiar with horse behavior and body language. What I can say was it was utterly amazing to stand in the middle of a heard of 200 or so wild horses and watch them interact. Most of the time they seemed to congregate in small bands of 3-8 individuals and peacefully graze. Once in a while an individual would stray and get too close to another pack. Sometimes a stern look or a few steps towards the intruder with would be enough. Other times a full blown chase would break out. In this case the offender tried to make a fast turn, skidded and fell on it’s ass. Teeth are a formidable weapon out here. A lesson is taught...a few new battle scars and the calm resumes for a few minutes.
I guess we all make mistakes, I would normally bin an image if I thought it was below standard and this one nearly went in the bin. The lesson is put all your settings back to the correct position before you leave for your chosen photography spot. When I got to this spot I dragged out of my bag the 16-35, when I last used it I had it on my tripod so switched off the stabalizer, I took a couple of shots with polarizer in place which looked fine on the LCD, I had walked a fair distance when I noticed I had not pushed that switch.
Having loaded that days shoot onto my computer I then could see how effective eight stops of camera and lens stabilization is and how you miss it when it is not there.
So here is the first shot the other has bitten the dust. Check everything.
This is Sandgate park near Storrington in Sussex, the little stream looked lovely with leaves floating in this one, the fairy bridge looked lovely over the stream too , the sky was a bland grey and light levels low. I made the best of this image it sure is not the best so a return visit will be made to make another go of it.

A scene of daily life in a rural area with a mother teaching a lesson to her daughter (Madagascar).
HUMANKIND, my premium, limited-edition, museum-quality standard book featuring over 200 large-format photos is available here:
Due to the lack of access to schools, in the rural areas education is often very different from the formal schooling found in urban centers. Many children in these regions attend informal classes, which are usually taught by their parents or local community members. This form of education takes place in the homes of the children, where makeshift classrooms are set up in simple structures such as huts or small rooms.
Education is seen as a community responsibility, and many parents take an active role in their children's learning, even if they themselves have limited formal education. The rural education system in Madagascar plays an important role in empowering children and helping them develop basic skills for their future.

giving Lara a little dance lesson. she has never danced at an event in the belief she couldn't dance and so I set out to prove her wrong.
she did really well and we had a good laugh when it went wonky because that is what dancing is all about having a laugh.
Everything has been, and always will be,
A quiet lesson shaping me.
Each joy, each ache, each fleeting chance,
Becomes a step within my dance.
I keep them all—each spark, each gleam—
In corners of my inner stream.
To drift through time, to think, recall,
And find the meaning in it all.
