In all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity. ~ Longfellow
Easdale is a tight-knit community made up of a few small cottages, a community hall, one restaurant and a museum. There is slate everywhere – in the walls, on the roofs, on the beaches and sitting in great piles all over the island. In fact, it’s pretty hard to spot anything that isn’t made from slate. Remote and rocky, it suddenly feels like landing on another planet. The further you get from the hustle and bustle, the more the simplicity of life reveals itself. You can tell that we really enjoyed our time here.

Manifest plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.

I have faith that yields to none,
and ways without reproach,
and unadorned simplicity,
and blushing modesty.

I found a stash of old Simplicity sewing patterns in a box of stuff I got from an auction! SO fun to see these things! Mom used to make all our clothes when we were kids. Made me remember the look of the patterns and the smell of a fabric shop!
Lady Sarakosti (Lady Great Lent).
"This lady represents the whole Great Lent. She hasn't mouth because we have feast and we don't eat all foods, but also we try not to say things that is not proper for a good person - Christian.... She has her hands crossed because she is praying... and she has 7 legs because these are the weeks up to Easter..... We cut a leg every Saturday and we begin from the next one.... and the last one is on Saturday of Lazaro's...."
There is beauty in simplicity

Simplicity means things which look very ordinary for first time, makes us feels very special when looked at it again !
This week Texture Tuesday we were to use one layer of Kim Klassen's texture called "Simplicity". I used two layers on this each at a lowed opacity and masked some off the flower especially the center.
One of the things I had constantly in my mind while in Antarctica was that although the place is very different from the rest of the world there are also a lot of commonalities. Take the deserts from this part of the world as an example. When you take a close-up image of the desert you’ll usually find some very simple leading lines and this was very similar in Antarctica with lines created by the sky, the snow and the shadows.
Taking this sort of simple, less is more type of shot is not always as easy as it looks. The simpler the image the more obvious will any mistakes be. The composition needs to be really balanced for an image like this to work and I’m finding these type of photographs really useful in helping me with my commercial work and in particular with my interior photography. This is because interior photographs usually need to be really airy and bright with as little clutter as possible, which is why it’s so important to make sure your composition leads the eyes through the image, inviting the viewer into the space you are photographing.

I like the soft glow this little bolt creates through the rain. Just a simple one to contrast the last upload.

And I can tell you...right now I need to keep everything as simple as possible.

Still amazed how good the 2017 Fuji XE3 is. I know I have more modern cameras but the quality of the pictures the easy way it is to carry and use the camera plus the simplicity of it makes it a true photo taking camera. In many ways the perfect Fuji camera to me would be the Fuji XE3 but with a flip down back screen, IBIS and a slightly improved eye focus. This pictures was edited in the Fuji RAW editing app using the Kodak Ektar 100 simulation with a little change highlight and shadow to get this result. Also did a jepg edit with Elements 25 which gave slightly better detail but resulted in a flatter final result. So far it’s 50/50 with some pictures looking better in the simulation than the other way. You never know for sure until ediited.
