The challenge this time is Tilt Shift..... however I do not own a tilt shift lens or a lensbaby, and I want to try something in-camera. After googling ideas, I came across a technique I had never heard of and honestly would not have thought would work. It's called free-lensing.
Literally free-lensing means detaching your lens, and holding it near the camera body. You can slightly tilt &/or shift the lens relative to the camera to alter the plane of focus. I was amazed at the outcomes. Getting the focus is difficult, especially when your point of focus is far (like mine was). Macro seems a bit easier to master as you can just gets closer to the image (I didn't feel like jumping off my balcony). Moving objects (i.e. my cats) were impossible to photograph with this technique at my current skill level. The light leaks were actually visually appealing and depending on the degree of tilt the bokeh that filled the image was lovely. The sharpness of the focal point was hard to achieve, but that may be my technique.
The hardest part is getting over the fear of dropping the lens (in this case off my 28th floor balcony)..... Note that I did not pull an accident like one of our beloved accident-prone Flickr stars (I won't name names, he knows who he is!! lol).
Moral of the story.... if you are brave enough to death grip your lens, are away from significant dust/dirt/water/etc that could damage your camera/lens, and want to try a fun new technique I recommend giving it a try!

Le mauvais temps.... jamais personne ne capte la lumière du mauvais temps.
Certaines ambiances sont si dramatiques parfois....
Well, that didn't quite work the way I planned. I was putting my lens cap beside the spider for perspective and it climbed right up!
This looks a bit like the bee hunting crab spiders I see in the garden. I wonder if they are related. This one was on a dish towel, in the house. I 'escorted' it outside where it posed for a few shots before carrying on its way.
Sometimes it's just our perspective. We've been in Denmark for two weeks...in the middle of looking for a house/flat and it can seem overwhelming. So just a reminder...it's just our perspective.

This week, I'm taking a break from work. Time for rest, renewal, and family. I'm off to a good start.
Life's perspective - walking in the grass we will probably miss a small mushroom, however if you get down to ground level, the perspective changes and you will see a new world. Same is with life.
Melbourne: The Flinders Street Railway Station clocks - from the inside.
One of the most famous features of the Flinders Street Railway Station is the clocks out front showing the next train scheduled for each line. “I’ll meet you under the clocks” is a saying that has been used by friends, business people, tourists and school groups. Originally manually operated, they have been replaced by automated scheduling. When it was proposed that they be replaced by digital clocks, there was such a public uproar that they were reinstated within 24 hours.

It pays to look up. Admittedly, when I went to the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul (where this was taken), it was largely the exhibits I had in mind to photograph.
However, this was pretty spectacular. As I recall, there weren't any particularly dazzling exhibits in this section...but perhaps that was because they didn't want to distract from the architecture? :-)
