I had no brave customer so i thought why not do me!
I set it up with a soft box on a stand with a godox flash off camera.
it was quite close too me and was at 16/1

All the editing was done in lightroom .
After a 5-mile run this morning and a brisk winter walk this afternoon I'm feeling very self righteous
The second wave of Covid-19 has hit Germany very hard. On the 16th new restrictions became effective and many shops had to close.
While the city center of Cologne isn't quite as deserted as it was in March and April, usually at this time of the year, the streets would be crowded.
I've seen a fair few of these and thought I'd try my hand at one. First attempt and it's a little 'brown' for my tastes.
Great fun and really easy to do. Big thanks to everyone making lockdown videos of how to do these type of effects.

Firmly in the category of 'things you never knew before lockdown.'
I bought myself a Helios lens to play with and it arrived today (it takes a looooong time to get from Russia to Australia!). Just in time to amuse me during our latest hard lockdown which looks like it is going to last a while :/... So before I pulled off the front element and flipped it around so I can play with all the exciting bokeh I took a couple of quick portraits of my lil companion and now I don't think I want to mess with my lens! It's so soft and dreamy... though I think I'm too presbyopic to cope with manual focusing haha
LOCK-DOWN
For the last month because our health is not at all good, we have been on a lock-down. We are fortunate that we have had relatives and good friends who have helped us in our time of need. Going to shops, the pharmacy and our local hospital to pick up vital stores and medicines.
So to everyone a big Thank you and a message of ‘Keep Safe’ to you all and your families.
I show this series of photos to show that we are keeping busy, listening to music, reading, painting and my latest venture into cooking via video link with my Granddaughters. We made a coffee and walnut cake last week but I ate it before I remembered to get the camera out.
I’m currently listening the Beatles ‘All you need is Love” and it seems very appropriate to the occasion.
Best wishes to all

ps I dedicate this to my friend Vince, it's the surname.
Aus dem Spiegel-Spiel des Gerings des Ringes ereignet sich das Dingen des Dinges. Quotation attributed to the philosopher Martin Heidegger. I won't even try to translate this. But, look, what the lockdown is doing to my mind!
A teddy looks down onto our passivhaus village green space on day one of our new lockdown. Ten people with covid in NZ outside the quarantine hotels. Now it is confirmed to be delta variant most likely from Sydney. It just took one missed visitor ...My second shot of vaccine comes up very soon.
I have set myself a lockdown challenge too only take photos in my garden or from my garden. It is going to be interesting to see what effect this has on my photographic skills. With no travelling involved I will be able to take advantage of the change in the light conditions, and hopefully this will help me improve my eye for a composition.
Stay safe Stay Home.
This lilac reflects the wonderful Autumn weather we are having. Six months off it's normal flowering period, it is smothered in these somewhat smaller than usual flowers.
Churchtown Farm Community Nature Reserve is an important place for both people and wildlife. It has a wide variety of different wildlife habitats, mostly hay meadows with arable fields, woodland, wetland, scrub, rocky shoreline, mudflats and an extensive network of hedgerows.
From the reserve there are extensive views over the River Lyhner, Antony Passage and Forder Creek.
I took this Image back in August 2019. Not knowing that it will get a new meaning in 2020! Right now here in Gemany we are in Lock Down 2.0 and now the image speaks for itself.
Hang on and stay strong + healthy! This bad times will pass by - sooner or later!
Vielen Dank für Eure Besuche, Kommentare und Sternchen!

A very moody shot due to lockdown mania. I have been fiddling with photos all morning but not very happy with any of them so this is my dark moody shot as a result!!!

Anzac Day, when Australians and New Zealanders gather to remember those who served in the armed forces, and those who never returned to their homelands. No traditional Dawn Parades this year because of the lockdown, but many of us were up to see the sunrise and to offer remembrance in our own ways.
