I woke up early and stepped outside and saw this. The photo really doesn't convey just how big this Lunar Halo was...definitely the largest that I've ever seen. I first tried to shoot it with the 30mm, but had to get out the 14mm to get it all in frame!
btw...I hate my neighbor's damned street light...it so pollutes my night sky.
In playing around with my new 50mm lens, I find myself looking for ANY foto opportunity just to experiment with the lens.

Another of my neighbor's balls...
I wonder sometimes if he has a monthly budget for baseballs and golf balls...};)
I know that most people will associate this title with Spring allergies, but the real reason behind it is how much the pattern of the Dandelion seedhead reminds me of nerve endings, since I've been suffering from a severe body rash for a while now. I'm heading to the doctor this morning to find out what the heck is going on... {=O
I simply MUST remember to get some OFF skeeter spray!!
btw...I wanted a shot of the river itself, but it's Summer and the thick growth of vines and prickly things blocked my way.
Have a great week!

As the dinosaurs looked up at the night sky, they realized something bad was about to happen....
Playing around with my recent comet photo and some older dinosaur and landscape pictures I had.
(Especially made for the FlickrSocial topic, challenge and Take Over)
There are some branches of Photography that, in my opinion, are particularly challenging, especially shooting:
- jewels
- vine & liquor bottles with their tags or labels
- shoes
- tech devices (PC, tablets, laptops, phones etc.)
- macro food
I've challenged my skills in all the above categories, except Food, so I decided to grab the contest launched by Flickr Social. During a break from work I went to a Japanese restaurant and ordered 20 different dishes putting under risk my digestion, lol.
The 3 pics I published represent the Japanese food I liked the most in that Restaurant under a tasty or aesthetic point of view.
I avoided to shoot Nigiri 🍣 Sushi and Sashimi as they are most common, although particularly yummy, for me at least.
Willing to shoot directly on the spot and not in studio, this has been more difficult because premises have never the right lighting and, obviously, I had not my whole equipment. Therefore, it's been twice the fun to conceive some ideas to make it nonetheless. 😊
Right on top of the tartare I have put a mini roll of Futomaki Fumo (see description in previous post), decorated with a non-traditional light cheese cream.
On the tartare surface there is an row egg of quail spread with some sesame seeds. Due to the row egg, I could not eat this spicy dish but I though had fun to rearrange the display, rolling a leaf, putting a rice roll with light cheese decoration on top and photographing the dish from different angles. In 2nd row, as a bokeh, I've placed two Maki rice rolls, one with tuna, one with salmon, just to obtain a more DOF effect.
The white plate with semi-sphere shaped concave cavity is in ceramics.
Shooting location: directly on the spot at a Japanese Restaurant in the suburbs of Padua, Italy (Padova).
This has been challenging, not the right lighting, I had no tripod, it was crowded, the background was messy and not suitable.
Backstage unzipped: with the help of the waiters, since I had no tripod with me, I borrowed some additional empty trays to overlap and create a solid basement for my camera, just set in front of the served plate. I also requested some black fabric towels and covered the tablet to make a temporary background panel. I moved my table until reaching the position of a spot light in the ceiling. I used lots of patience and refrained from eating from other dishes, served in the meantime, until I was done :)
Macro and still life are mine. No flash applied.

More cryptic artwork adorning our Louisiana State Capitol building. It really is a fascinating piece of architecture!!
I remember this shot so clearly. It was late afternoon on Canvey Island, as the light was beginning to soften, casting a beautiful glow on the emerging fig leaves. I was walking through a garden, and this sprout caught my eye. The way the two young leaves were unfurling, almost mirroring each other, was captivating.
I got down low to capture the detail, wanting to highlight the delicate veins and the fresh, vibrant green against the darker, out-of-focus background. I think the simplicity of the composition emphasises the new life and the promise of the season. There's a certain fragility and beauty in those first leaves, and I'm glad I was able to capture that moment. It's one of those images that reminds me of the quiet beauty you can find in your back garden. I used my Nikon D500 and the Lensbaby Sol 45 lens F3.5 at 500/1
There is so much growing in the woods that you have to focus your attention on a smaller fragment of the scene to make a more visual impact. That's what I look for when I'm out shooting nature...a more intimate look.
