Macro Mondays. This week's theme: #BackInTheDay
I remember clearly the days when the preferred mode of photography seemed to be Slides. The long wait before your slides arrived in the mail. Then the invitation of friends, snacks, drinks, the lights go out and the Slide Projector starts.... Good times. Images seemed to come alive on the big screen. I have heard stories about people dreading being invited to friends' Slide Nights but not me, I've always enjoyed them. I found this slide in the front yard! Brought back many memories. My own have sadly not survived the many country moves.
Slide in baby, together we'll fly...

Garden Walk by Ramon Parmenter - a statue in the monocot garden of Raulston Arboretum, Raleigh, NC. It was a rather watery pale day, so sliders to the rescue! Colors were intensified, details defined and sharpened, border added.

Horse Reining competition
Reining competitions take place in arenas where one of ten patterns are run at a canter by each participant. Although they vary in when moves occur, pattern terminology includes circles, large and fast or small and slow, roll-backs, spins, flying lead changes and sliding stops. Each movement is one that a working ranch horse would use in its daily herding activities, brought to a high level of precision.
Today is National Day of the Cowboy.
I wanted to test out my new GoPro, so out to the backyard. First, the foreground was underexposed, so I raised it up in ACR. There was a lot of fine-tuning to get the trees and the bushes to look the way I wanted. In addition, the sky was blown out pretty bad. I wasn't even going to share the photo, but then I thought, "What could be more Slider Sunday than sky replacement" So, I fired up my old copy of Skylum Luminar and found a sky that would work. The masking is incredible considering what it had to start with. There are a few masking problems, and the chromatic aberrations are pretty bad. I like how it turned out. Happy Slider Sunday.

I slowly lose myself over and over"

To anyone who does not instantly recognise this, it is a photo of dual exhausts on the back of a boat, with an application of sliding.
Maybe there is a technical term for them.
We haven't had many of those fabulous scarlet sunrises lately. I took this as the sun began crawling over the horizon into an uncertain day. I wish you all a sunny week and a happy Mother's Day!
