Saturday Self Challenge
This week's challenge will be to photograph something in the shape of a cube. It can be made out of any type material (including ice) as long as it is in the shape of a 3 dimensional cube, either square or rectangular in shape. Process as much or as little as you like. I look forward to seeing your creativity!
*Edit to add that more than one cube shaped item can be in your image.*
The cube in the photo is a note pad block bought from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution shop in Sheringham in Norfolk. The tops of the letter T’s are just missing from the pictures on the sides as the block has been in use for a few weeks, but it still retains its cube shape.
I started off processing the image in Affinity Photo to multiply the single photo to form 16, then I did a few adjustments in Photoshop Express, before the final square crop on the iPad photo app.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Textures used: CartePostale and Famille by French Kiss - Thankyou
This photo has been on my computer for some while. I thought I would try a textured background this time. Would appreciate your comments. Thanks.
Handwritten and clipped to a suicide fence on a bridge.
Unclear if the notes were tied to suicides or more likely just a convenient place to clip on to.

I had the opportunity to hear both my girls perform a solo at tonight's concert. I am so proud of their talent, courage and perseverance.
Note the glimpse of the radiators on the right.

I've no idea who to credit for this photo.
Apologies if somebody still holds the copyright.
turns out i'm pretty hopeless at 365 projects!
but my boyfriend says he still loves me anyway.
(to be fair i have been taking a picture each day, they were just totally uninspiring so i didn't upload.)

This short film is based on the fine exhibition at the Inveresk Museum in Launceston, “H.J. King: Cameras and Carburettors”. It runs until late August 2023. www.qvmag.tas.gov.au/Whats-on/Museum-at-Inveresk/HJ-King-...
I was kindly given permission to photograph each of the exhibits (including video recording the film excerpts that I edited and posted yesterday). They even bent their no tripods policy for me to make this possible. For obvious reasons the museum lighting of the exhibits is dark (these photographs are precious and bright light would destroy them quickly). So once again I was able to trust the low light capabilities of the Nikon D850 to deliver, though manual focus was necessary under these conditions. So every single photograph here is captured by my camera.
Born in 1892, Herbert John King (known as H.J.) was a devoted amateur photographer, though he did in the 1920s pioneer an aerial photography business producing maps. He was industrious and innovative and was one of the early proponents of infrared photography. His greatest service in photography was not some stylistic innovation, but rather as a faithful recorder of a passing world. His historical photographs are for that reason very important.
King’s other passions are also made known in this short film. Motorcycles, and the natural world of wilderness and Tasmanian flora and fauna. The second half of his life (King died at 80 in 1973), was one of distinguished community service, as a founding member and President of the Launceston Field Naturalists’ Club, and a distinguished member of the Tasmanian Royal Society.
He was also a lifelong member of the Christadelphians, and as such was a pacifist and environmentalist.
Enjoy the presentation and the period music.

* A note about the lighting. You notice the sepia tones. Some of King's earliest photos are in sepia or have this soft brown tint. This is the result of a chemical process that took place in the darkroom. Its purpose was to prevent fading and prolong a photograph’s life and archival value. But almost all of his post 1920 photos are straight black and white. The reason I opted to go with the museum lighting temperature is that this is exactly the experience you have of looking at these photographs in the exhibition. Frankly I also think it adds a level of warmth (quite literally in fact with the lighting) to the photographs.
This is not a recent photo. However it shows me taking notes - something I do compulsively.
When asked what do you do in your "spare" time (ha ha ha) - or - What are your hobbies? One of my first answers has been "Writing!"
I don't claim to be a great writer. But the contemplation and act of writing does bring me joy. I've volumes to prove it.
In fact, if you were to ask "What makes you happy?" One answer for sure would be "A good supply of smooth blank paper, a pen I love, and four hours of guaranteed uninterrupted time." Heaven!
Some friends and followers are creative and accomplished writers. You can tell who they are because their comments are unique and meaningful.
Though all comments are appreciated - some are timeless treasures. Perhaps they will make an interesting book project.
Some comments are poetry, some are advice, some are unique points of view or twists on the obvious, and some are puns that make me laugh even thinking about them.
Some of you have sent me your personal writing privately to enjoy - what a treat!
Thank you all.
Though no promise of quality can be made, I'll do my best to respond in kind.

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in the smaller parts of life that I end up taking for granted the things that I have, the things that make me happy, the things that happen everyday that put a smile on my face.
I'm grateful that my bedroom window overlooks the Rocky Mountains, for a job that I enjoy going to everyday, for the inspiration that I get from the world around me. Most of all I'm grateful for the freedom I have to wake up and live my life exactly as I want to.
: one of the first exposures with the new camera. And now it's time to take a proper look at it, and to start reading the operating instructions...

Explore is nice. It is. But please don't leave a comment here just so I can come check out your photos or your sparkly-icon club. If you like this picture, thank you. If you're just self-promoting, no thank you.
For the 30-Day Challenge — June 2011
Day Six: From a Low Angle
I think people are interpreting this challenge differently, ignoring the "angle" part; that is, they are shooting things that are low to the ground, but their cameras are pointed at it from above. Or they're just shooting low things. My interpretation is that you put your camera down low and angle it up a little. Hence the power lines in the background. OK, whatever.
BTW, I titled this because the heads look like little notes on the power-line musical staff.
