One of my favorite winter subjects is red yucca seed pods. Still summer and the yucca has gone to seed, Lakeway, TX. Sony A6000 and EL Nikkor 50/2.8 enlarger lens.
I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true -- hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.

Toby is tolerable with hats, but Riley is a mixed bag. Yesterday (when I was just practicing and not shooting at all) he was excellent.
Today - in front of my iPhone on its tripod (so - minimal setup - see stream for cute little iPhone tripod I use) and he was... unimpressed.
However, since I was using the kitchen lights and NOT the flash - I could take as many pictures (via remote) as I wanted.
Ha!
This was the best in the box (with only TWO that had both dogs with hats and me not in the picture).
(and yes, my dogs, my floors, and my cabinets are all the same color. This is actually where I shoot all my "studio" photographs - hence the usage of backdrops)

This is Joshua practicing his glass blowing at a shop in Cabo San Lucas. We visited as part of an organized city tour and some people got to try out blowing a bubble of molten glass. The bubble at the end of the metal rod quickly cooled and then was broken, producing very thin glass shards that were discarded.

I'd like to try more portrait photography, if only I could just get out of the candid format :-)

Just because the rodent season is over, it is never sufficient to rest on one's laurels. A successful season past is no guarantee for the future. Every season presents an opportunity to work on skills. For example, a snow encrusted twig makes a more than suitable substitution for a prideful presentation to one's partner. While a bit less tricky to catch, other hazards clearly exist complicating the activity.
If you practice hard enough .. could you achieve anything?
Deep in the basement in this old civic building are the cells, they have an almost 'facility' feeling about them. Wonderful leisurely day with Brother Barnabus and the meeting of 'Pam' . Un Invited
So this is my first attempt at putting together a collage style photo composed of multiple different layers captured at different windlights. Like a stack. I need to work on controlling light better so I can get highlights rather than just different colors. I kinda like it though!
I'm trying a new technique, i kinda like it and editing this girl was super fun, how does the hair look? and does this style look cute?
You practice with your trumpet don't ya?
You practice your guitar till your fingers bleed.
Why?
Because if you're not an idiot you wanna give a wonderful performance with the camera.

Taken at the same time as my 'Blowin in the Wind' shot. This is just a little further down the hill. Since I fixed my camera I have been thinking about my photography differently. Whilst I realise that my camera skills have improved, I still have a lot to learn about seeing a shot in my mind and quickly capturing it. John Free's video uploads have kept me motivated in practicing and improving what I do here.
**this shot didn't have the great light as the previous one shown below. This scene is in a dip, when we drive through here we always lose phone signal, it's a communication black hole! The light is softer and more subdued, giving a more gentle scene. I like this shot, however it has undergone multiple revisions and I'm still not 100% about it.
Thanks for coming to look at my little dusty corner of Flickr :)
..but it also fills the memory cards and hard drives pretty fast ツ
Thanks to skilled Even in the Moskusguiden company, I managed to take my first usable panned photos on the workshop in Greece this week, like of this adult Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus).
But all the practice and series of slow shutter photos following pelicans in action, almost filled all the 10 memory cards I brought with me (and had thought was way too many) ツ I ended up with nearly 13.000 photos, but still I was among those who took the fewest (!) I hope sorting out and deleting the thousands of bad ones will go fast ツ
I also took many nice portraits of the birds that I look forward to show later on.

A visit to Loch of Kinnordy, a 45 minute drive from us, where the Bittern has been showing nicely recently. Not today however, so a spot of practice on the Herons there, so I'll be ready for the main event! Actually to be quite honest, I'm happy enough with Herons - love the long snaky neck. But a Bittern would be nice all the same.
