A Matter Of How You See It

"Flowers"

Spotlight Your Best Group

Tiger Lily, flowers hold

Growing in my yard today

Petals coloured yellow gold

Amongst the green as they sway

Sweetly smells aroma pure

Pictured brightly sweet and soft

Heavenly beauty to endure

Windowed views above the loft

Pick them carefully one for one

Lilies fold when daylight parts

Underneath the morning sun

New buds bloom, opens stars

God's the lily of the valley

Praise Him from all fields to cope

Where all angels meet to rally

Insuring us with lasting hope.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

I DO know how to use a tape measure though. This one has measured a LOT of fabric, and people too!!

A Zeiss Ica diaphot Photometer. Shot is tanken for the Macro Monday Group, theme rule. Tried to break some rules at the same time...picture is taken without tripod (70 mm, 1/6 sek, tztz) and no golden ratio...not even 1/3rd in the composition.

She's like that, a bit stubborn, very soft-hearted.

A girl who bothers a lot of people because she's not afraid to break the rules.

Found this recipe on a foodnetwork show called The Pioneer Woman hosted by Ree Drummond. (Episode: The Drummond Bunch). My directions are on the photo. You can find the original directions by Ree Drummond below. Enjoy!

EGG-IN-A-HOLE

www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/egg-in-a-hole-re...

Prep Time: 3 min

Inactive Prep Time: --

Cook Time: 2 min

Level: Easy

Serves: 1 egg-in-the-hole

INGREDIENTS:

1 slice of your favorite kind of bread

1 tablespoon butter

1 egg

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:

With a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, press a hole in the center of the slice of bread.

Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt in the butter.

When the butter is all spread out, place the piece of bread in the skillet and crack the egg straight into the center of the hole.

Cook until the egg sets a bit on the bottom, 30 to 45 seconds.

Sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper.

After about a minute, flip it over with a spatula and salt and pepper the other side.

Move the whole piece of toast around the skillet, soaking up all of the glorious butter.

Let it cook until the yolk feels soft.

Here's the key: golden brown toast, white (not brown/burned) whites, soft unbroken yolk.

Perfect.

Recipe can also be found on my blog, Baking is my Zen.

Some rules are meant to be broken! Can you spot what golden rules of photography I broke in this image? Would you have done the same?

Sometimes, you DO NOT have to follow the rules. BREAK them instead :p

I see all these photos of the moon shot at ISO 10 million or some such thing using a gyroscopic mount on a tripod with a remote release because "that's what you are supposed to do."

Well, you know me, I almost never follow the rules, especially when it's cold out. This was ISO 200 and free hand.

For what it's worth, I do follow one rule as quoted by John Shaw, "The first rule of photography is this. There are no rules, only guidelines."

Another thing people always do is shoot the moon when it is full. I think the next time I shoot it will be when it is half full or less. For sure no more than 2/3 full.

I broke the rules here and took a picture but.. special urban beauty? Really? OK the sign is written quite neatly but..? Taken in central Bristol.

"The slide rule is a mechanical analog computer. The slide rule is used primarily for multiplication and division, and also for functions such as roots, logarithms and trigonometry, but is not normally used for addition or subtraction."

This was my father's when he was a young man, younger than what I am now. He's a mechanical engineer and I found this back home in the Philippines when we came home back in March. My brother has his Ping Pong paddle that is older than both of us and I wanted something as old if not older. So here's his slide rule...and I don't know how to use it...YET. Ha!

Photography Rules!

And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw last Monday!!

Yes I'm back again.

However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.

I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.

I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.

So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!

Weekend visit to Lewes, East Sussex. Image captured on the footpath to the windmill near Kingston.

Thanks for the visits, faves, and comments.

Those of us Dog Lovers do understand these rules.
