It's while since I have taken any macros. But the Smile on Saturday's theme of pawns was so tempting, as was the directional sunlight this morning :)
I thought about doing this in monochrome (far behind on that 100x project!) but decided against it. Might try with some of the other shots from the batch...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Smile on Saturday :)
[Handheld in bright oblique sunlight (tilted the board too). Going for repetition in the composition and minimal focus to create spots of interest (so too the diagonals - with the shadows cunningly vertical :) ).
Developed in Capture One to retrieve the blown-out highlights from the raw and to get rid of some purple/cyan fringing.
Sharpened in Affinity with Unsharp Mask and a soft dark vignette to keep us on the board :)]
I came across this black Lab who was retrieving large sticks his owner threw into the lake. The bigger, the better.
Kerri chose the beaches of South Laguna her last day here and we looked down on this scene of a happy Lab retrieving his toy in the clear water.
You can see someone snorkling just past the dog, no wet suit this sunny day.
Having retrieved the last empty from the closing Rousselot gelatin plant, Pan Am local BO-1 plows through the bushes one last time on the Danvers branch on the way back to Salem and ultimately Boston, thus closing a chapter of over 170 years of railroading. Peabody, MA
With a hot air baloon, you land where you can, often in a field. You have to avoid houses and power lines. You want to avoid some fields and cows (not to frighten them). I took this photo when we flew low to catch some specific winds. I like the framing with the cars in the back, coming to the landed baloons to pack them.

Contrary to the lettering on the support columns below, I’d have to agree with Luther Vandross, shooting freight engines on the passenger fly-over is “never too much, never too much, never too much…”
A trio of ET44C4s, led by BNSF 3698, spook pigeons from their roost while thundering across the fly-over heading for Metrolink’s Keller yard to retrieve a retired SCAX F59PHI at last light.

Luce Bay is a large bay in Wigtownshire in southern Scotland. The bay is 20 miles wide at its mouth and is bounded by the Rhins of Galloway to the west and the Machars to the east.
From the 1930s to the 1990s it was a bombing range used for training purposes by RAF aircraft (and later allied aircraft on a leasing basis) based at West Freugh. Discharged bombs were retrieved by a retired minesweeper based at Drummore. It is still a licensed MOD Range with Byelaws restricting access during Test and Evaluation activities conducted by QinetiQ on behalf of the MOD.
Once an important commercial fishery, Luce Bay is now seldom used for this purpose. It contains important marine and littoral life, however, and has been declared a Special Area of Conservation by Scottish Natural Heritage
Biscuit is super obsessive about his toy play, balls are preferred, the chuck-it at the top of the list, as with Saxon.
Biscuit loves to tease Saxon and sometimes steal the ball from under his "control" which can be metres away if he's backed-up ... but Biscuit doesn't risk actually taking the ball after it's been thrown for Saxon, unless he's gone the complete wrong direction in which case Saxon decides it mustn't be his ball hahaha funny dynamics :-)
For the Merlin's Beard Winter Holiday Banner Contest. I had to at least make an attempt since i won last year.
A little rushed, but I liked how it came out. Picture would've been nicer if it wasn't taken at such a wide angle to include everything.
Enjoy!
Well, I somehow managed to delete this day's photos in their entirety... today I downloaded a program that retrieved them... now it might not have been worth it but....
An eagle searching for midshipman fish.
[https://flickr.com/photos/mandywillard/] and I went to St. Leonards and Hastings today, and on our way to the fishing area we stumbled on the Hastings Lifeboat being retrieved from an outing. This is made up of three pictures joined.
GP40-2W MEC 516 on CSXT's ex Pan Am local BO-1 is seen inside the Rousselot plant for the last time as they pick up the final empty hydrochloric acid tank car. The facility is closing later this year after being in operation in some form for 206 years and with rail service for 173 of those! This may very well be the last time a train is ever seen on these rails, about 2 1/2 miles from Salem via pieces of the old Boston and Maine Danvers and South Reading Branches. Rousselot was the very last rail served customer on the north shore of Boston and come the following day nothing but window trains will ever polish the rails east of Everett Junction unless by some miracle other freight rail customers manifest themselves in the future.
It was a sad and historic day indeed....but I'm grateful I was able to witness it and document it with so many others. Thanks to Conductor Maher for making the classy signs that adorned the front and rear of 516 for this trip.

It is finally looking like spring in this neck of the woods. While out exploring I found these on the dirt mounds I have been shooting into all winter winter.

‘By the time we put together the pieces of a Mandalorian-shaped puzzle that led to downtown Corellia, it looked as though we were too late. A group of rogue Mandalorians had slowly slipped through the planetary blockade with smuggled shipments of weapons - all part of a plan to sabotage Republic shipyards supplying the Open Circle fleet. As I had stood next to the data officers at the local command post it was obvious that the Separatists were planning a full-on coup, led by fanatical gangs and nationalist groups.
Republic intelligence was terrified, to put it lightly. Without the new air reinforcements that Corellia’s ship-building industry was preparing, the Outer Rim Sieges could be slowed significantly - if not brought to a halt.
Along with several other units across the planet, a plan was developed to make a coordinated strike at the Separatist cells, and hit ‘em hard. Along with a small squad, my task was to move into the nasty end of town and capture a warehouse containing what reconnaissance identified as rocket launchers, artillery and other munitions. Rounding a corner, we closed in on the target. A Mandalorian stood guard besides a blaster cannon, and I waited for the signal.
BEEP. Two shots from my pistols took the target in the shoulder and then the helmet, leaving him sprawled on the ground. The time to strike was now - or never.’

Name: CT-6125 ‘Judge’
Home World: Kamino
Age: 14
Species: Human
Class: Trooper
Faction: Galactic Empire
Brutal when compared to the other clones that emerged from the training programs, Judge is a Clone Trooper raised on Kamino like all others. He excelled at strategy tests but sparked concern for his use of unconventional - and often merciless - tactics. Initially given his nickname as an insult, ‘Judge’ came from CT-6125’s quickness to make serious decisions - often leading to casualties, which he never considered a concern. A supporter of the Empire’s relentless crackdown on resistance, Judge is willing to see through an assignment no matter the human costs.

We introduced the dumbbell to our hold/retrieve exercises a few weeks ago. I've been very careful in trying not to 'poison' the dumbbell and make it a negative association, and so far I think we're doing ok. Part of the training I'd like to pursue with him requires a dumbbell retrieve so we keep on practising.

Retrieved from the garage, label removed, carefully washed, this small bottle has all sorts of photographic possibilities!
This is the third of a small series - more to come? Probably.

While Della was at the beach with her Lab friend she learned how to fetch a bumper. She was a little tentative at first but learned very quickly!
