In case you're wondering, I had the tea. Somewhere in George Town....!

Demonstrations in New York and Washington, D.C., Saturday, February 1, 2020

 

Schenider-Kreuznah radionar lenses were used on folder medium format cameras. This one is probably from the fifties.

It has a simple, Cook triplet design and I expected some bubbles. But Radionar refused to bubble its bokeh. Bokeh is smooth and quite nice. Lens is soft even closed a bit.

Fruiting in August, Botanical Garden, Berkeley.

This photo was refused by the 'Autumnal Color' group because it was not TAKEN IN autumn! The run-up to the season should count as well, for this definitely is a natural function of shorter days--the red color and the appearance of fruit on plants that make it!!

... refusing to pose (my way !)

A hairy situation..

 

Shot for Our Daily Challenge ”Leftover or Extra”

  

You could buy me diamonds

You could buy me pearls

Take me on a cruise around the world

Baby you know I'm worth it

Dinner lit by candles

Run my bubble bath

Make love tenderly to last, to last

'Cause baby you know I'm worth it

 

Wanna please wanna keep wanna treat your woman right

Not just dough but to show that you know she is worth your time

You will lose if you chose to refuse to put her first

She will if she can find a man who knows her worth

 

'Cause a real man, knows a real woman when he sees her

And a real woman knows a real man ain't afraid to please her

And a real woman knows a real man always comes first

And a real man just can't deny a woman's worth

 

If you treat me fairly

I'll give you all my goods

Treat you like a real woman should

Baby I…

I was shocked and honored that Lawrence would asked me to be a part of as i dubbed it ..The super Secret very hush hush project, which he refused over and over to give any details about. Oh but did he get alot of laughs.

 

But to be invited to join in with so many talented photographers, i was touched. I was also inspired to try my hand at what he requested.

 

Now that i am allowed to share them, these are my pictures which i sent to Lawrence *with many little quips to keep him entertained*.

A spectacle of its time now enjoyed only by passersby.

Demonstrations in 12 cities, Saturday, January 11, 2020

At a quite ridiculous starting price I could hardly refuse making an offer! Nobody else did. So what do I do with that number of identical bottles?

(Suggestions on a postcard please!)

 

The lens for the photograph was taken from a broken Prinz Saturn camera made in the 1970s and roughly glued to a washer cemented to a hollowed out camera lens cap. Not sure where I got the idea, but it was fun to make and the results can best be described as 'interesting'!

...to let the fear of getting hurt stop me from pursuing what makes me happy.

The incredible Tiger’s Nest Monastery sits high in the Himalayan mountains of Bhutan - a true spectacle from the land of the thunder dragon.

 

There was a brief moment, standing here, taking this photograph, when I felt like everything I had done in my life had in some way led me to this spectacular view. It was a sudden and refreshing burst of insight and it made me it seem like until this point, I've only been experiencing the world around me through my eyes and not with my heart. This was different, there’s just something special about this place that pulled me in and refused to let go. As a seasoned traveler, this is a rare experience that I always find to be truly special - and one that I appreciate tremendously.

January 19 update:Unable at present to identify this one by (my given) name(s)....

Rua Reidh Lighthouse stands close to the entrance to Loch Ewe in Wester Ross, Scotland.

 

The building of a navigation light on Rubh'Re Point was first proposed by David Stevenson in 1853 but, with familiar emphasis on economy, the Board of Trade refused to approve the proposed expenditure of £5,000.

In August 1906, David Alan Stevenson recommended that a navigation light be established on the prominent headland of the Ross-shire coast 17 miles north of the Rona light and 26 miles south of the Stoer Head light. He considered the lighting of this very remote site important, and so suggested a powerful light and a fully manned "Island Station".

 

Accordingly, the Commissioners made representation to Trinity House but they refused to accord their statutory approval to the proposed seamark but did, however, suggest a small, inexpensive unmanned light be established in the same position.

 

The Commissioners considered that the site was too important to leave unattended and felt bound to adhere to their original proposal.

 

After lengthy correspondence, Trinity House conceded to the Commissioners views, and gave statutory approval to the erection of a manned light. The Board of Trade however, decided to defer commencement of work meantime, as they considered the financial outlay excessive.

 

Finally, in May 1908, the Board of Trade sanctioned the expenditure of £14,900 on the establishment of a light and fog signal on Rubh'Re point and the light was first exhibited on the night of 15 January 1912. It is situated at the entrance to Loch Ewe near Gairloch.

 

In 1944, an American Liberty Ship the "William H Welch" missed the entrance to Loch Ewe and went ashore at Black Bay during a severe storm. Two Rubh'Re Lightkeepers were actively involved in the rescue of 15 survivors out of a complement of 74.

 

The fog signal service was installed in 1912 and withdrawn in September 1980. The foghorn and clockwork mechanism are now in the Gairloch Heritage Museum along with the lens and lighting equipment which was removed in 1985 prior to automation of the Station in 1986.

 

It should be noted that at some sites the Northern Lighthouse Board have sold some redundant buildings within the lighthouse complex and are not responsible for the maintenance of these building.

So we spent the afternoon at Lordington Lavender over in West Sussex. it was the last open day so it was 'busy' .....

No chance of any landscape photography, bodies everywhere, so I stepped well outside my comfort zone and went for people photography.

 

Since my wife and daughter both refused to pose for me I was left looking for others. This young lady had been posing for ages with her selfie stick and I'd seen at least one other photographer ask her if he could take her photograph, so after a bit of cajoling by my daughter I approached her.

 

She was more than happy and kept on posing for her phone as I tried to keep up.

I liked this image and it protects her anonymity.

 

I encountered this young male lizard on a sidewalk in Brisbane, Australia; it exhibited territorial behavior by refusing to give ground, so I gave it a wide berth after getting a few good shots first, of course. It's definitely big enough to make you pause; this one was about 2/3 of a meter, while a full grown male can be slightly over a meter in length. They can move fast whether running, climbing, or swimming.

 

—from Wikipedia

Australian water dragons have long powerful limbs and claws for climbing, a long muscular laterally-compressed tail for swimming, and prominent nuchal and vertebral crests. (A nuchal crest is a central row of spikes at the base of the head. These spikes continue down the spine, getting smaller as they reach the base of the tail.) Including their tails, which comprise about two-thirds of their total length, adult females grow to about 60 cm (2 feet) long, and adult males can grow slightly longer than one metre (39 inches) and weigh about 1 kg. Males show bolder colouration and have larger heads than females. Color is less distinct in juveniles.

 

Australian water dragons are extremely shy in the wild, but readily adapt to continual human presence in suburban parks and gardens. They are fast runners and strong climbers. When faced with a potential predator, they seek cover in thick vegetation, or drop from an overhanging branch into water. They are able to swim totally submerged, and rest on the bottom of shallow creeks or lakes for up to 90 minutes to avoid detection.

 

Both males and females display typical agamid behaviour such as basking, arm-waving and head-bobbing. Fast arm-waving signals dominance, while slow arm-waving signals submission. Males are territorial, and in areas of higher population density, males exhibit displays of aggression toward other males including posturing, chasing and fighting.

I am going to sell or trade the left Sweet Heart Yasmin and one of the Strut It Yasmin's. I think it will probably be the left one, but I could change my mind ;P

 

If you have an offer, go for it!! But don't be insulted if I refuse, lol.

Herring Gull / larus argentatus. Bridlington, East Yorkshire. 19/11/21.

 

'LOITERING WITH INTENT.'

 

This gull had chosen a prime site to perch, close to the take-away food outlets along the harbour.

 

I captured it in a typical hunched, resting posture with its neck retracted. However, the Herring Gull's cold, glassy lemon eyes were fully open as it sized up pedestrians passing by with fish and chips. It would launch into action each time anyone headed towards a litter bin with their polystyrene tray.

 

The chance of scavenging food scraps was built into the gull's daily routine!
