A quick landscape shot from Barassie Beach, Troon, Scotland.
An imperfect handheld shot, with some blown out highlights and a shallower depth of field than I would really like. I haven't picked up my camera in months, I am ashamed to admit, not at least with the intention of photographing something specific - and I am far from being a landscape photographer!
I can't believe that I now live just 1 mile from this view! A sea view being well outside of my price bracket but just 1 mile is close enough to call this home.
The sun was on it's way to setting with some gorgeous crepuscular rays over the Firth of Clyde, the Isle of Arran and the majestic outline of Goatfell. Off to the right was a storm cell and some huge downpour rainbands which I have captured in some other shots to come in the future. It was hard to believe that the two scenes were in the same place - it looked apocalyptic to the right of frame!
I put my back out again crouching for this shot but it has been in a bad way since moving day. More physiotherapy required but despite that and the imperfections in my shot, it feels like a lovely view of my new place in this beautiful world of ours. Enjoy.

A creative, artistic version of the anemone plant in my backyard garden.
Edited with a large white matte frame and a textured background.
Anemones, also known as windflowers, are rich in symbolism, with meanings varying across cultures and colors. Generally, they symbolize anticipation, good luck, and protection from evil. However, they are also linked to forsaken love, death, and bad omens in some contexts.

Inspired by #MacroMondays and theme #Curves. I learn quite a bit from this group by researching a word or theme. And discussing themes with my husband. For this theme, he first brought me an old set of French curves, templates used in his physics class.
These are tiny wood shavings he also thought I might use. I popped them into my soft box, used natural sunlight, and felt delighted with the little curls and curves. I hope you like them.
Width of the frame left to right measures less than 4cm/1.57 inches.
We spotted three juvenile robins active in the bird baths, but they split up by the time I got to my camera. This is not the quintessential early bird, but a sunset bird that kindly faced west. But I still clipped its tail.
Experimenting with Adobe Camera Raw to see if what I see in my camera’s tiny viewer, then on my (honking) large and calibrated monitor, matches the RGB of a website.
And then ask my husband for preferences; he has difficulty discerning red/green hues. And then there are Mac and iOS screens...
