The Macro Mondays theme for today, 1/31, is currency - real or pretend. Anybody want to take a guess?…
There will be a couple of possibilities that I’ll post and then dither about— grin
HMM-- the theme for today, 8/17 is push/pull. found this theme particularly tricky since several of mine were trying to show the push or pull action, which is not easy when simultaneously trying to push the buttons on an iphone ~grin~
"macro mondays" pushpull possibility
there is something promising about first of January....a new year is there and thoughts about what it will bring and what you could do better or what you would like to do....hopes and wishes for the future to come.....it has always made in a good mood....full of expectations....kind of like starting anew and everything is fresh and possibilities is just there ahead of you....
I dropped by my local woodland lunchtime and whilst I was on my knees beneath a bank of snowdrops, a dog walker came by and started throwing a ball for his dog. He appeared to be oblivious of me, so I took a quick grab shot of his dog waiting for the next throw of the ball before they moved away.
A possibility for the Macro Mondays theme of wear and tear. Had to have a least one blue and white one- right?
i like this one strictly for the bokeh that showed up ~grin~
the macromonday theme for 5/20 is copper (bronze and brass are ok, too)...... "Bronze and brass are acceptable as is oxidized, tarnished or corroded metallic copper such as verdigris but copper-based chemicals such as copper sulfate or Schweizer's reagent are not."........
the whole narrative about the theme......

Really excited to share this image! I loved getting to work with Grant Hall of Option Models to do something just a little bit outside my normal style. This photo has been a long time in the making, and I'm so pleased with the result. Check out the story behind this image by reading my blog post here.
A couple of weeks ago I made an exploratory "wildflower" loop over the Grapevine and up through Antelope Valley to see if the wildflowers were blooming at the Poppy Reserve or anywhere along the way. There were some patches to be found along the way but it was too early in the Gorman area for any substantial possibility for a great shot. The wind was howling at the preserve so I had to speed up shutter time to get a still shot. I laid down in a dirt patch and shot this one across the ground. It was the only way to make a small patch of flowers seem large. Hope you like it. Happy Springtime my Flickr friends. :)
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day ahead my friends :)
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.

the macromonday theme for this week (2/22) is crystal and he was just so angelic and sparkly
(and made of leaded glass- crystal)

More quickness and a bit of playing :)
This is my effort for a prompt at Kim Klassen's "The Studio Online - The Honey Tin". To this I've used the LR preset kk_gentle and tweaked it a bit. Then in PS added texture kk_teddy at a low softlight opacity, and tweaked. The fonts are Remington Noiseless and Windsong.
At this hour, those possibilities are still pretty good, although fewer than earlier in the day. Perhaps he is waiting to greet someone off the 19:07 service from Manchester Piccadilly, as I was? If so, it's fortunate he was there in good time because the train arrived three minutes early.

The tranquil Lake Maggiore from the shores of Baveno in Italy. First time in my life I was able to take in a lake sunset in the gorgeous country of Italy. And, I made sure to not miss one second of it. These waters are so calm and so many magnificent little islands to explore around them. Just realized I captured this on my birthday. Not a bad present at all.
HMM- the #macromondays theme for 7/19 is #sunsafety.. when I read the theme, initially, I thought it was #summersafety, so I composed this one also. The other one I have posted next in the photostream.
HMM- the macro monday group's theme for today, 9/14, is pouch.
methinks there are at least 5 posting possibilities.
"macro mondays" pouch possibility
No dreams or memories to share today. Instead I'm posting another nice example of Lensbaby Edge 80 optic. Using the tilt I've introduced just a little bit of blur on top this image, while keeping the human figure sharp. Now that I've learned to expect a certain possibilities with Edge 80, I'm starting to find regular 'straight lenses' a bit boring. Couple of days ago I had to use my kit lens (SEL1855) for some family pictures and while it felt almost too easy with AF and OSS, I felt something was missing. What I feel Lensbaby lenses bring to the table is an ability to play more with selective focus. This is mainly because of tilt, but manual focusing also adds something. I originally thought that being manual focus lenses these lenses would be hard to use. Well they are in some situations, I have to admit that, but manual focusing also expands your choices because by turning the focusing ring you will see different possibilities for selective focus - especially with the tilt. It's something you don't see when working with auto focus lenses. Not to mention the creative possibilities it introduces.

I was told that I've been to Yosemite before. How old I was at the time is a different story. And considering that I have zero memories of the place, I must have been one tiny kiddo. So realistically, last June was my first visit to this beautiful place, and despite the crowds...it did not disappoint. Magical waterfalls and towering cliffs and soaring pines - what else could you need?
And you know what else is cool? Traveling with other photographers for once. My guides around Yosemite were two friends who had brought me down to California to photograph their wedding (the primary reason for the trip!), and were kind enough to take the time out of their busy wedding week to show me around the park. One is a fellow photographer, meaning he knew all the cool places, and when he spotted this shockingly symmetrical reflection of Yosemite Falls by the Swinging Bridge picnic area, I skipped along after him to see what he'd found. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? And photographer friendships are some of the most rewarding!
