Wild Thing finally arrived! I immediately deboxed her. She's gorgeous. Favorite hair color for me, a full head of hair for easy restyling, cute outfit. .
I would've been a fool not to attempt this. But given the right light, camera setting, and environment - this guy photographs absolutely beautifully!
Sadly I'm not around any swamps, so my garden had to do haha :)

Its a thing i made, i haven't really decided what to call it.... could be a engine for a pod racer or a giant stargate
The thing about shooting regularly (daily) is that you notice your environment more, you become more observant. Nearly 35 years in Cambridge and I hadn't seen this view like this before! I think the new passion for "street" work helped me "see" and frame this like this. Stepping back a bit and seeing the "bigger picture" also helped. And then there is the timing: something I couldn't be that bothered with before in non-street work.
Corn stalks and EMDs are all thats left in the fields after this year's harvest. D32 is seen just north of Lotus making its way north to Gibson City.
For Macro Monday June 5 2017 - theme Silhouette.
This is a dried clematis flower on the trellis which has 1 inch square openings.
Whirly Funfair Thing, Edinburgh, Scotland... longer exposure and a litter bin... I like the strange looking images of the people on the ride.
Some big spiky thing with someone on top, in this year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade in Belfast.

Again, all the backgrounds of these photos were changed. I used backdrops from the Arches Park area. It was a bit more dramatic than where the oribinal shots were taken.
This is a Christmas ornament I picked up. I'm not sure what animal it's supposed to be--maybe a cat or a fox. It measures 2.75-inches tall.
Strobis/technical info:
The subject was placed on a piece of reflective black acrylic with a black fabric cloth as background. Two Nikon SB900's and one SB700 speedlights were used for illumination. The two SB900's were placed 90-degrees CL and CR, 2' away and 1' above the subject and were aimed down at 45-degrees. They were fired through 24" x 24" Neewer softboxes in Manual mode @ 1⁄2 power. The SB700 was placed 170-degrees CL, 6" above and 14" away from the subject. It had a snoot attached and was fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 power.
The SB900's were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X's; the SB700 was placed in SU-4 mode and was triggered by the other flashes.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).
Strobist: AB800 with gridded HOBD-W overhead. AB1600 with gridded 60X30 softbox camera right.Triggered by Cybersync.
For 52 Weeks for Dogs -- 24/52
It's been wickedly and dangerously hot here this week, and going upstairs seemed like a bad idea. So, Flattery is just being a pretty little thing downstairs on the couch this week, and I don't think she minds!
You can read more about Flattery at TalesAndTails.com.

Death is not the last station...
I think the thing I like most about going out with my camera to hunt for wildlife, is that you never see what you expect you'll see.
Heading down to Cape May yesterday morning, I anticipated getting some decent pictures of snowy egrets and Great White herons.....maybe a few ducks or glossy ibises.
I didn't see any one of those birds.
As a matter of fact, most of the bird action was back in the wooded area around the lighthouse, not the ponds.
I was simply thrilled to spot and photograph my 1st Blue Bunting!
What a gorgeous little bird!
LOL.....it's funny when I see a bird I haven't seen before.
Even if it's fairly common, and I know that many other people have seen it plenty of times, I always react like I've just made the most amazing discovery! 8-))
I thought I had missed this year's cotton fields but discovered there was still a field unpicked VERY near us! The hour was very golden.

Modern(ist) sculpture by NYC-based artist Joel Perlman, at the foot of the Scalpel tower (shown recently in my photostream). Titled 'Roundhouse' here, It is nearly identical to an earlier one by the author, called 'Rolling on the River' in the US. The main difference is the colour (rusty brown in Illinois vs the stainless finish here). It's most probably ok in the high art world to sell the same piece twice (or more times, if you can) by changing colour and name...
Originality apart, this works well amidst modern buildings and opposite the similarly stainless 'Inside Out' industrial-style building of Lloyd's.
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when we contemplate the mysteries of eternity, of life and the marvellous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery everyday. Never lose a holy curiosity."
~Albert Einstein

for February Magic and February Magic Edges. I processed this following one of Kim's tutorials in her Test Kitchen.
This is the last of the mums for now. I picked up this bowl at Value Village in Peterborough some time ago. Always on the look-out for photo props, vases and bowls.
