Tried my hand at covert street life shots yesterday for the first time. I wandered along with my camera round my neck snapping as I went. I could only bring myself to snap people walking away from me and the pics I did take were blurred as I was walking as I snapped.
Today, emboldened, I stopped and composed the shots and snapped people from front on. It was very scary but I am pleased I JFDI.
This is the best of the bunch, though the bust stop sign gives a rather mysterious air to the man with the briefcase.
I think the title would make a good name for an adventure book... This lovely old lion sits under the fountain at the Mathildenplatz in Darmstadt.
Please view in full size for the full mossy details.
I just couldn't pass this one up - though I can't remember at the moment if it was in Ordway or Olney Springs, Colorado.
I think I prefer bare legs with this dress and heels. I had the dress taken in since the last time I wore it out but now it's quite a tight little squeeze to get it on! I guess that’s how they're supposed to fit. So no choc's and cake for me for a wee while! Bums. 🍰 🍪
Bougainvillea glabra 'Singapore Pink'
No Multi-group invites or large glitter graphics please! None is better
I think it was last week that I saw this photo on eBay and I just HAD to have it because this is St Michaels during a brief period of disuse and, by the way, I didn't take this. Opened in 1864, this later formed part of, not just the CLC's main line to Manchester but also their North Liverpool Extension, running all the way initially to Aintree and, from 1884, to Southport. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Liverpool_Extension_Line
CLC stood for the Cheshire Lines Committee and was the second largest joint railway in Britain en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheshire_Lines_Committee. Formed by the Great Northern Railway, Midland Railway and the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway (later to become the Great Central Railway), this was intended to break the near monopoly held by the London & North Western Railway.
The route was closed in stages from 1952 and, eight years later, the line between Aintree and Gateacre was closed to passengers. British Rail wanted to close the line but such a big fucking stink was created that it remained open until Saturday 15 April 1972 when the last train rumbled out of a disused Central Station.
However, the line didn't remain closed for long, being re-opened in 1978 as part of the Merseyrail network. I think it was around this time when the original plaform steps were replaced by a stepped ramp, although the awnings have long fucking gone.
The reason for the title of this photo is that, for a long time 'St Michael' was the brand used by Marks & Spencer, paying homage to Michael Marks, a Russian Jew who, together with a Tom Spencer, founded the company in 1884 and I think that's why Marksies funded the re-opening...because it made use of a brand they stupidly scrapped 21 years ago.

Is it a sin to search for those things which you fear? My purpose in this world is knowledge, and the dissemination of it.
And it is I who is to restore the fruits of my labor to the entire world.
Fear... It is something vital to us puny creatures. The instant man stop fearing is the instant the species reaches a dead end, only to sink to pitable lows, only to sit and wait apathetically for extinction.
Humans who lose the ability to think become creatures whose existence has no value. Wake Up! Don't be afraid of knowledge!
Think, you humans who are split into two worlds, unless you want the gulf between humans to expand into oblivion, you must Think!
I think I have made it clear that I am not a fan of Eddie Stobart so my acqusition of these models may come as a surprise, but I have other plans for them. The Atlas Editions series includes several castings that are made by Oxford Diecast but have not even been announced by Oxford yet, I believe because Atlas are funding the tooling and have exclusivity for a period. These models generally go for silly money on eBay but a bit of patience was rewarded with this pair at a reasonable enough price for repainting, so they will be joining my fairground fleet.
I think this must have been the hardest shot I've ever taken. Ok, the composition itself wasn't that hard, and the weather was well behaved, but....
Well.... it's a *long* way from the car. Seriously. Kinlochhourn to Barrisdale and then up into Coire Dhorrcail with full camping gear and 3.5 days of wet food (doh!) lasts forever. The path looks flat enough on the map, but if you look closely then you might spot that they've built it up and over every bump they could find along the way. I kind of looked closely, so knew it wasn't going to be perfectly flat - but man! - I wasn't expecting that.
I also wasn't expecting Summer. It was one of those concentrated Scottish summers where you get 3 months of heat in a couple of days. I didn't take any suntan lotion or a hat with me (it's Scotland - why would you?), so got sunburned on my left side on the walk in (actually, that's one of the reasons I decided to cut my trip short and walk out the next day - I needed to get equally burned on the right hand side, or I'd have spent the summer with an uneven tan. The weather broke the day after that, so I made the right decision).
I also wasn't expecting quite so many ticks. The place was swarming with them; really tiny ones. I was constantly having to pick the little buggers off my hands before they crawled anywhere more intimate. It's quite distracting trying to compose a shot when you know you're nothing more than a big happy meal on legs for the local population. I ended up spending ages picking them off my trousers before climbing into my sleeping bag. Still - it killed some time and I didn't have a book to read.
But that was all ok as well though. Tiring and a bit unpleasant, but not very hard.
No - what made it so difficult was realising at the car park that I could only take one lens and one filter with me to last 3 days. No one should ever have to make that kind of decision.
last of the lemurs, a golden sifaka in Andasibe rainforest. this chap was a family of 3 adults with babies that stopped to pose for awhile.
I think Martha Stewart would be proud! I repurposed an old collector's case (or at least that what I think it is) as a storage "shed" for my trims and thread.
My wife didn't think bears and moose actually existed so I wanted to prove to her they did. We hopped in the car and went to the Grand Tetons for a few days. I love that area but we had just missed the peak of the Fall foliage season. Wildlife spotting was hit and miss. We saw some big black bear booty (we suspect animals do this on purpose) and some bull moose at a distance. Then we happened to be driving on a road noted for its wildlife and caught a young black bear feeding in a tree about 10 feet away. It was fascinating - the bear was much bigger than the tree and the tree was swaying up and down. My wife took a video with her phone - it's one of the best ones ever. That was amazing.
We drove to other areas - great scenic views everywhere, but one that got our attention was the extremely low water level on Jackson Lake. It's a dam but it was almost empty; our drought is real. We were able to walk out on the dam bed a few hundred yards where water should have been. Wow.
Excellent trip in early October 2021. We will go back there again!
Who could think it would be possible to watch at these kind of auroras from little Jura in France ?
The show was amazing with unaided eyes, especially between 00h00 and 01h00 local time. And what a blast on camera!
Shot with Canon EOS 6D
Samyang 8mm
20'' ISO1600 f/3,5.
1192 images from 21h58 to 05h16 local time.
The same night, I shot also with Sigma 14mm lens, but the 5296 images are still in the rendering batch at the time of those lines.
Hopefully, this will be a good way to render more accurately this outstanding show it was that night
I think all kids love playing in little houses. Playing 'kiekeboo' and opening and closing doors. Joost built this one for Nils in the summer and we had it in the living room for a little while. Now the weather is good we've moved it out onto the terrace where we've made a little playing area.
Some might think this dress is too short to wear out for shoe shopping but not me!! It was actually exhilarating both walking in the mall and trying on shoes. These blue heels are not what I wore with my dress from home it is a try on. The salesman helping me told me I had nice legs so I asked him to take a snap of me. He also said that women's legs look so nice in pantyhose and I agreed. So I think he enjoyed slipping different shoes on me with his hands delicately touching my nyloned calves and feet! (Hehe) I admit I was a bit flirty trying the shoes on and walking around looking at them in the mirrors right in front of him. I do believe the poor man had quite a stiffy from it all. Not my fault !!

Jhena found a great location for a shoot - an old building that had been abandoned for years; the new owners were going renovate it; they let us shoot in it before they gutted it. Very cool setting but this was in July so it was over 100 degrees inside the building, full of dust and who knows what else. Everyone was drenched with sweat but it was worth it.
The model in this series is Jhena. She is a photographer's dream come true. Drop dead gorgeous, an awesome personality; she oozes sweetness, has a great sense of humor and adventure. Just an all around great person. My camera never gets tired of shooting with her.
I took these photos in Ontario, OR on a very hot, muggy day in July 2021.
