some website about crows and ravens, which I shall not name here, has taken many of my shots and posted a link to my whole crow set without any permission. I have emailed them to take them off ASAP, but so far no answer and the images are still posted.
Since my privacy settings prohibit any downloading or printing, I am somewhat puzzled how they got them in the first place. Does anybody know?
I don't like wildlife shots with a huge name printed right on the image, but I can understan why.
This large Etruscan cemetery reflects different types of burial practices from the 9th to the 1st century BC, and bear witness to the achievements of Etruscan culture. Which over nine centuries developed the earliest urban civilization in the northern Mediterranean. Some of the tombs are monumental, cut in rock and topped by impressive tumuli (burial mounds). Many feature carvings on their walls, others have wall paintings of outstanding quality.
The necropolis near Cerveteri, known as Banditaccia, contains thousands of tombs organized in a city-like plan, with streets, small squares and neighbourhoods. The site contains very different types of tombs: trenches cut in rock; tumuli; and some, also carved in rock, in the shape of huts or houses with a wealth of structural details. These provide the only surviving evidence of Etruscan residential architecture.
Practicing with lights and depth of field. This is a lot to remember all at once. Also bought my first poses!

Saturday soccer practice in Newhall Community Park in Concord, California. Mt Diablo is in the background.
Interesting aside: The red team is all wearing masks. The white team is all (or almost all) maskless. It reflects the very mixed responses to Covid in our society.
I saw some snapshots of Kanye West x Adidas fashion show, and I really love their tone of colors. So I decided to use it for reference. I need to practice more on different kinds of skin tones.
Our couple's bento pose Practice is also available at Collabor88 <3 Includes pink & orange basketballs.

Gabby is practicing the different strokes for a single person kayak.................doing a quick turn here.
This was built for the Guilds of Historica on Eurobricks. I continued experimenting with cross braces, and took inspiration for the tower’s gables from Brickvader.

DPi's on track during the afternoon practice session. Didn't help as the 7 only managed a 5th place and the 6 never made it. Great looking livery though.

A distant sound of a bat could be heard on the outskirts of the Peyroux farm. A distant zip can be seen in the air above the trees. It was Phoebe who was busy practicing hard to knock her cousins off their broom during a family cookout that led to a Quidditch match with Phoebe being on her dad's team.
Meet Tina Tonleiter, the music teacher of the Crocodile School. I'm going to give her an English name: Tania Tuningfork.
Actually in all the years that she has been standing on the shelf next to my music-stand, I've been calling her "Heilige Intonatia, Schutzpatron der guten Stimmung". That means something like "Saint Intonascia, patron of good vibes" ( i.e. playing in tune! ) However today I did some on-line research and discovered her real identity. Whatever, she will continue to watch over my violin practice and warn me to be careful when I practise my scales and arpeggios!
Für die, die etwas Wienerisch verstehen, Frau Tina Tonleiter sagt vielleicht: "Des G stimmt. Des D stimmt A. Des A stimmt E. Des E stimmt E A."
;-)

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)

Human's haven't really been too powerful as wizards. Generally, they live too short to become very good. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule though, and Leoben Gladomain is one of those. Well-versed in the arts of magic, this wizard is feared by the evil and held in high honor by the masses. Even nobles ask his assistance sometimes. But, like everyone, Leoben must practice new spells. After all, he doesn't want to accidentally turn a princess into a frog, right?

The MOC was better in my head. End of story. : P
Oh, inspired by my good friend Digger.

I'd like to try more portrait photography, if only I could just get out of the candid format :-)
This is my daughter-in-law, lovingly thought of as my other daughter :-)
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.
