Our ship was "sailing" again distorting the mountain reflection in the fiord.

After my first night in Florida I woke up very early. So I went to the beach and watched the sun rise. It was so beautiful! Thank you, jet lag!!!

You've seen this watchband before, as I had previously photographed it for our "Curves" theme on November 14, 2022 (and I also photographed other parts of this Casio watch, one for 2022's "Redux" and December 2023's "Bokeh" theme).
The entire casing and the strap are "ion plated", as Casio calls it, and the watch shimmers in the nicest iridescent rainbow colours, with gold as a base colour (pretty posh, I must admit). Its Milanese strap also has an unusual structure that looks a little different from a regular Milanese strap, as it almost resembles woven or knitted fabric.
As I had already photographed the strap as a rainbow wave for "Curves", I had to think of something different for our "Mesh" theme. So I rolled the strap up and placed one end of the strap above the other, with the clock face down. I noticed that the mesh was reflected in the strap's polished clasp, and this gave me my image idea: lots of bokeh from the strap, but a small, reflected part of the mesh in focus because that's our theme after all. And: I also wanted to get the "Stainless Steel" lettering in focus.
My first attempts yesterday, taken with the Laowa 2x Ultra Macro lens, didn't quite yield the desired result. At F2.8, I got the bokeh, but in the clasp, either the lettering was in focus or the mesh's reflection. And at a higher aperture value, I might have gotten both in focus, but including the strap.
So today, for a final attempt, I switched lenses and did some stacking. I am happy to say that I also learned something new about the focus differential settings of the in-camera stacking function. The focus differential ranges from 1 to 10, and it determines the difference in focus position between shots. "5" is the sweet spot, as it yields good results for most scenes, but here, it already resulted in a too wide focus range. So I checked out "1", a setting I have never used before, and it worked: sharp lettering, sharp mesh reflection, and lots of strap bokeh :)
HMM, Everyone!
One morning I walked into our bedroom and the sun was shining so brightly and reflecting its light onto the opposite wall. It seemed magical to me! The curtain is an addition to a special corner! The quality of the image is not good but I thought I would post it anyway.
I am sorry that I have not been around much but I was having such trouble with Flickr that I decided to cool it for a couple of days!
Thanks so much for your visits!!!
I just love a great reflection and doesn't matter from water or ice or mirror or windows... I always seek for these opportunities. So much so that I forgot to even capture ducks close by. So taken by the movements and colours. This was not achieved by intentional movement of my camera but by nature's water movement.

Peak District. Walking along the edge in glorious golden light I was struggling to find a composition. As the sun dropped I thought my luck was out, but the after glow lit up this scene I came across nicely.

A still from a 1069 shot timelapse from this mornings sunrise at Ladybower res plug hole. The sky looked awesome!
Ever find yourself up to your thighs in water contemplating the choices you've made? Yeah, me neither. But this snowy egret seemed to be doing just that.
(Sorry for all the snowy egret photos lately. But ya shoots what ya sees)
The track for the CityCenter tram, reflected in windows at the Waldorf Astoria Las Vegas (formerly the Mandarin Oriental) as the Aria rises into the background at CityCenter, Las Vegas.
Sometimes it pays to bring your camera along. We were at one of our local parks walking our dog and we spotted this Coopers Hawk right in front of us and standing on a tree branch. As he moved from on tree to another we followed and captured this photo. We were pleased with how the late afternoon sun reflected on his face and body. The Cooper's hawk is a medium-sized hawk native to the North American continent and found from Southern Canada to Northern Mexico. This was a young one as his eyes are still light yellow.
