View allAll Photos Tagged Week!
This time the change of seasons is more visible in my pictures.
Spring and summer are in the first row and autumn and winter in the second row.
No snow again in winter but at least it was frosty.
This week, on Sunday, was mine and Jamie's 3 months of togetherness so we went to Buckland Abbey to walk around the grounds and had a lovely cream tea after!
I'm looking forward to seeing how this location changes over the seasons.

Das zweite von 52 Fotos, während meiner Schlaflosigkeit entstanden. Was mann alles nachts noch so macht. Andere schlafen um diese Zeit, meine Mitbewohnerin schaute mich auch völlig verwundert an als ich das am nächsten Tag erzählte
I needed to do a bit of research this week to discover more about what is intended by abstract photography. There are many reference points available but perhaps the most succinct description I came across is:
- Does not represent the subject in a literal way.
- Communicates primarily through form, colour and curves (or in my case, lines) rather than image detail.
I hope I have at least approximated this view of abstraction with my image this week. In processing the image I wanted to try to avoid having any lines that were perfectly vertical, horizontal or diagonal. No doubt someone will find a line in there somewhere that breaks my self-imposed rule!
In case anyone wants to hazard a guess at it, I won't reveal yet what the 'real world' object is that I photographed. :-)

copy of amadeo modigliani's "nudité étendue"
too busy this week, couldn't resist to fingerpaint a modigliani copy :)
Yep, had to go for the water reflection shot! Rather than tie a bag overhead and let drops fall from a pinprick I decided to use a teaspoon to drop the water. Used a colourful magazine page as backdrop.
Strobist info: My 430ex was set to 1/8 power and was just out of shot on the right (hence slightly blown out area there).
very broad theme this week, and had no real idea what to do for it until a kid at work pointed out this dead robin outside. Fear not no one actually touched the poor creature, photoshop helped this concept come together without disturbing the dead or spreading germs.

This is Tinna Sigurðardóttir, 25 years old, she is my baby sister. She is very much an outdoor and action kind of girl, she travels a lot, is a diving instructor and a riverrafting/tour guide, has a licence to drive big trucks and regularly takes tourists to the most interesting locations here in Iceland. In fact I am getting so fat and out of shape I am sure she could kick my ass if she wanted to, something that was inconceivable a couple of years ago.
I was originally going use her as week 48 and take her photos while we were diving (see the story by week 48) but she broke her arm two days before we were going diving so that was obviously impossible, she unfortunately won´t be able to go diving till next year. Well I still wanted her for this project as I wanted everyone in my immediate family in it so I just shuffled the weeks around and got her boyfriend Ingó to model last week so she could take it easy for two weeks before this photoshoot.
Well since she had this huge cast on her arm we decided to do something with it and shot this the day before she got a much smaller cast. Henný did all the makeup and hair. The idea is that you really are supposed to look at this shot and just wonder "What the f**k happened to that girl???". Ingó did the artwork on the cast and he owns that brown club you just barely see the handle of there in the lower right corner, that´s an original old school police club.
Lighting is 4 lights, one big softbox from the front, two smaller from either side of Tinna behind her and a fourth with a honeycomb shooting at the black backround.
My first attempt at a water pour. I've seen wines pours done and have meant to try it out. This weeks theme of "colors" inspired me to try give it a whirl...using the primary colors as part of the composition. It took quite a few attempts with each color and these are the best of what I had to work with. Enjoy.
My boyfriend and I have been to Disney in Concert and I just love to hear all the songs and even sing along.
The theme this week was a two-parter. Pull Up Your Socks And Use a Unique Perspective.
I thought I'd add a sexy noir twist this week.
National Nurses Week 2025 is here! This year the American Nurses Enterprise is shining a light on The Power of Nurses. We recognize the invaluable contributions of nurses worldwide and the real-life challenges they face every day. Whether you're a nurse, a healthcare professional, a patient, or simply someone who appreciates the critical role nurses play in our lives and society, National Nurses Week is the perfect time to share your gratitude and celebrate nurses. Be sure to thank a nurse. They are the glue that holds the healthcare system together.
Prompt: Illustration of a nurse. The nurse is standing in a medical setting, wearing a white uniform with a red cross on her hat and a stethoscope around her neck. She is holding a clipboard and smiling. The background features medical equipment, including a blue syringe, a box of gloves, and a medical chart on a table. The text "HAPPY NURSES WEEK" is written in large letters, with the date "May 6 - 12 " written in smaller letters.

Week 4 - The cock up...
So another week, same old room. I'd planned on getting out this week had a whole separate shoot in mind. Then life interrupts and dinner needs cooking and blah blah blah... So this was taken in between all the prep and cooking of a Sunday roast.
Strobist info:
Canon 430 EXII - 1/16th - Softbox - Camera Left and high
Nikon SB-900 - 64th - Umbrella - Camera left and low.
I'll post the setup shot later.
This lovely couple danced on top of my wedding cake 21 years ago so I thought they were a fitting subject for this weeks theme. I had plans to set them up with my wedding dress and had left them out on the table overnight, when I woke in the morning the sunlight was casting this lovely shadow.
Keeping it real this week and taking my photo in front of the giant pile of baby stuff we've accumulated but have yet to deal with. (This is in addition to the stuff we've actually put away and the piles of stuff in our bedroom.)
Remind me to tell you about the time my midwife made me pee all over my hand... and then I'll tell you about how it's now impossible to bend over, how I've given up on wearing any bra besides a sleep bra, and how I gained 24 pounds in the first 26 weeks of pregnancy. That's right folks, I'm a buck fifty and PROUD.
Also, no more ice cream. Or bread.
Niblet weighs over two pounds now, and she's 14 inches long. Her eyes opened for the first time this week! We can't wait to find out what color those peepers are. I feel her kicking in multiple places at once, and she seems to get more active every day. She kicks all over my belly, under my ribs, and sometimes she stomps on my cervix which is super fun, let me tell you. This Sunday is exactly three months until my due date... holy mackerel. Kid's gonna be here before we know it and I still can't believe I'm pregnant.
This week I am going to try to shoot only with my 50mm 1.8 II lens. We are not friends yet, the lens and I, It seems the focal points I use to take the shot are not in line with image that is recorded. I'm not sure if it is just because it is an inexpensive lens (around $100) or because there is something not quite right with it. Anybody else have this kind of trouble with the nifty fifty?
Thanks to the pioneer woman for the edge burn action.
early, again!
This was rejected from my fashion project as its not really a fasion shot!
i originaly took it in the wrong white blance (tut tut) but adjusted it on photoshop, and decided to change it to the wrong white balance again! but atleast it isn't blue anymore :)
i know i posted some already from this shoot, but i love this composition for some reason with the boat just on the horizon!
also, i know i said i wouldn't post my work, but this shoot for me was what i love doing retro stuff, so im bending the rules slightly!
Have a happy easter! see you next week!
Week 40 14-20 October
This took a while, but eventually got around to processing this shot I took earlier in the year in Tasmania. This is of course is the iconic Bridport Pier. More next week.
A few years ago we introduced our kids to the advent calendar....and it quickly became a favorite tradition.
Last Sunday we added the celebration of Advent through the use of the four candles (for the four Sundays before Christmas). This has already become a favorite of the kids...and us as well.
The first Sunday was about light..."The people walking in darkness have seen a great light -- on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned." Isaiah 9:2
I hope to capture an image each week which represents what we're teaching...enjoy the light!
I got my daughter to leap for me for this weeks theme. She is so good at it. I wonder who she will get to leap for her..... Not me, LOL!!!
Scuba Diving in Sint Maarten / Saint Martin with Ocean Explorers Dive Center ( Explorer's Week Log - Week 42, 2016 ) www.divesxm.com
I had big plans for this week and intended to get a V-day picture posted on the 14th, but I have been dealing with some serious physical pain this week. I won't bore you with my health details, but I am finding myself having to settle for this photo this week.
Love ya Dazzle! Thank-you for helping me through this week and always.
The heart was actually in the original photo, but I changed out the thick cord it was hanging on for a thin digital one. And yes, Dazzle is holding the rose. He was SO patient with me on that! The XOXO was leaning against him. In processing, I removed the background and added the frame.
I had a week of looking at myself and wondering what I will be; I’ve come to realize that I may just spend the rest of the my life becoming me.
My grandfather died of a heart attack during World War II aged just 29 years leaving my Nanna to raise 4 children under 7 years of age. My mum passed 3 months ago and these items and many more treasured by her, are now much treasured by me. They are now 77 years old are less than perfect, but beautiful at the same time. I plan to scan all the items and make photo books for my siblings, children and grandchilren before there's any further degradation.
