the shot at hand: inspired by Ryan the one, the only....always pimp!
this is a regular family outing for the O'Connor family on any given saturday night...it started with "i've got a shot stuck in my head, who wants to help?"
my boy...first hand up!! and can i bring a friend....well only if said friend asks a parent because first, it's illegal and second, there is a small element of danger and third, it's illegal!!
so we're off....to a trespass into Holmes Foundry....hubby is never keen to trespass...what if we get caught, then what...and as always, i assure him that the cops have better things to do than to chase a family around in an abandoned place when all they're doing is taking pictures!!
the image above, truly a joint venture...included the following technicalities:
*the pose - strategically placed by me
*the subjects - 2 boys told to stay very still for 25 secs. (no easy task)
*handheld flashlight - me again to light the graffiti
*red gel flash - courtesy of hubby moving around the scene flashing on command
my son's friend, who had never done anything like this thought this was the best ever outing so the boys were paid with a late dinner out....we got home by midnight!!
isn't this a normal outing?
so now.....tell me what the rest of you do on any regular night out????
LARGE RED DAMSELFLY
- Pyrrhosoma nymphula
Photographed in my garden
Widespread in the UK, this species has a red abdomen with dark markings towards the end. Males tend to be more vibrant. It is often the first damselfly to be seen in spring.
The male is aggressive, fighting off other males entering his territory. Damselflies rest with their wings folded lengthways along their body (unlike dragonflies, which rest with wings outspread )
- of a poinsettia...

This is a Red-crowned Crane (Grus japonensis) that I photographed at the Zhangye National Wetland Park in Zhangye, Gansu, China on March 28, 2018. Its migratory populations breed in far eastern Russia and Northeast China and winter on the Korean Peninsula and in east-central China. It is named for the patch of bare red skin on its crown, which gets brighter in the breeding season. It is snow white with black secondaries, which can look like a black tail when the bird is standing. IUCN lists the species as Vulnerable.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD PENTAX-D FA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6ED DC AW, at 1/2000 sec, f/5.6, ISO 400. Wetlands like this one are a stopover for migrating birds in the dry Hexi Corridor, and their protection depends on keeping water in the Heihe.

a continuation of trials (and errors) of this upside down wine shot called "wine not yet sppilled" or as Sally said, "hang over"
Today a bit better results, but still.........not that good. what i changed, mostly watering down the wine 1/4 wine to 3/4 water, you will see two shades of wine in this series, the darker one was 1/2 wine and 1/2 water, no good too dark! the other version is too light, have to be in between.
I really have to go get some new plexi glass or glass pieces for bases, as the foamboards just right away look too dirty and damaged once you touch them.
sorry i have only 1 setup shot, as tere were obvious 2 different set ups but forgot to take the other one.
Red velvet cupcakes. My favorite. I made these cupcakes from scratch,but I think the Betty Crocker mix taste better......
