Fun topic for week 32. Even though I had seen this option on my D5100 never tried earlier. Thanks to the group to make me use it. :)
Saw a group of youths walking up the hillock within the Lalbagh Garden. Their destination the watch tower at the summit. Tried giving a retro look during post processing.
August is the month when we have the Flower show at Lalbagh Gardens to celebrate the Indian Independence Day. Will upload the photos from the flower show as well.

Week 32 of 52 of 2014. The theme is PORTRAIT (NOT A SELF PORTRAIT). Owen was a reluctant portrait subject, but I was finally able to get a shot of him. See the entire 52 of 2014 set at www.flickr.com/photos/thesussman/sets/72157639288997073/
'Blockhead Sculpture' and 'Daddies Bighead’ are inflatable sculptures. ‘Daddies Bighead’ is based on a ketchup bottle. Ketchup is a pivotal motif through all of McCarthy's work. He uses ketchup in his performances and installations along with mayonnaise and chocolate as stand-ins for bodily fluids and excretions. These grocery staples of domestic family life are transformed in McCarthy, born 1945, represent a Western World of violence, perverted sex and defecation to show the shallowness and duplicity of our image of happiness based on the all-pervasive Western media entertainment and consumer constructed conventions. His work distorts and mutates the familiar into the disturbing and carnivalesque.
McCarthy first became known in the 1970s for his visceral performances and film works but during the 1990s he extended his practice into stand alone sculptural figures, installations and a series of large inflatable sculptures.
‘Blockhead’ is based on the character of Pinocchio, but this popular Disney children's character is mutated into a grotesque form. Its size physically overpowers the viewer, putting the adult at a child’s level, questioning conventional Western World fake constructions.
The big, somewhat hilarious sculpture, big balloon 'Daddies Bighead', can be seen as a visualization of maleness. Disney Pinocchio character’s innocence is replaced by masses of pink with female breasts and male phalluses. It could easily by the symbol of the general male surfing for his daily dose of porn. It’s an attack on the sugary unrealistic world Disney and other generally accepted mass media represent and which we widely accept.
McCarthy uses gory representations of sexuality to question Western World fake, romanticized view of itself. These works may seem innocent at a first glance, but when you add them to his other works, his messages just may sink in.
In this set I have borrowed ideas, sentences and whole paragraphs from the following websites:

8. Something that frustrates you
With four boys and a husband that plays sports, this is my daily frustration - water bottles, shoes cleats, socks, shin guards, balls, jackets and other eye sores :)
for 7DoS: a cloudless sky would have made a better minimal, but that would be a luxury - I was happy enough to see the sun ;)
Una de las fotografías de increíble viaje que me hice ayer por las tierras Pampeanas. Me morí de frió, pero valió la pena haber ido por lugares que no conocía y el "haberme perdido". Con una increíble tormenta y unos rayos que atravesaban las nubes reflejaba el verde pasto de los campos de esta zona.
One of the pictures of incredible journey that i yesterday by the lowland. I mori of cold, but it was worth it have gone places that he did not know and the "i lost". With an incredible storm and a few x-rays passing through the clouds reflected the green grass of the fields in this area.
Made a delicious bowl of yoghurt, muesli, cinnamon and strawberries — albeit only one pictured here — for lunch today. It’s simple, but delightful.
Tasty Caramilk chocolate to go with my coffee while I write in the sun on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Life could be worse.
I had planned to have a crack at the Olympic theme this week (I had planned to do a selfie with my old Sydney Olympic torch I was fortunate enough to carry in the torch relay) but never got there. I've spent three days this week at the Ekka, our annual royal show. I found an angle where I could look down Sideshow alley. I quite liked the "pure" shot I took of it but had a bit of a play with processing (using the iPad app Snapseed) and turned it into this. The texture gives it a timeless feel for me.
Matty's really into dogs right now, but I'm not sure he knew what to make of Cody, our Newfoundland friend.
This is a little fresh air spray and it is really lovely!

The Grotto is a Catholic retreat in Portland. Sunrises like this one last year stir this atheist's spiritual core!
South Foreland Lighthouse built in the 1840’s stands on top of the Langdon Cliff, part of the White Cliffs of Dover. The present building is one a series of warning lights built over the years designed to keep vessels from the treacherous Goodwin Sands (ten kilometers off shore) and indicate a safe passage into Dover harbour. The oldest shipwreck in England, dating from the Bronze Age around 3100 years ago, was found nearby and there have been at least 2000 more since.
The first lights were provided by fire beacons and then by lighthouses in Roman times. Originally this light was powered by whale oil but by 1875 this was replaced under the supervision of Michael Faraday with carbon arc lamps powered by a steam magneto.
In 1898 Marconi used the lighthouse for his pioneering work on radio waves and he achieved the first radio transmission across the English Channel on 27th March 1899, contacting the South Foreland Lighthouse from Wimereux in France.
In 1904, South Foreland's fixed light was replaced with a rotating mechanism. Weights, weighing more than 250 kg, were hand wound each hour to the top of the tower then the geared descent provided the power to the rotating lantern on a bed of mercury. The resulting flashing light was visible for forty two kilometers,
By 1988 modern technology had replaced both the off-shore lightship and this lighthouse. Since then it has been maintained by the National Trust.
Truthfully, not down the middle and truthfully the ball and tee went back into my jacket pocket! I went for a walk - it's very cold out there - after the gym along the beach and onto the golf course with this idea in my head. But, to get a macro silhouette was pretty well difficult - I shot this lying flat out on the 7th tee shooting into the sun (actually there was no sun) .. into the light, in an attempt to catch the golf ball in silhouette!! Failed!!

Adding yet another adventure to our list, my photog buddies and I ventured out to Cave Point County Park, WI to catch the Perseid Meteor Shower (August 11-12 and beyond). After spending a day with my husband in Wisconsin's beautiful Door County, we all met for dinner, and (flashlights in hand), we headed to the VERY dark cliffs of Cave Point Park.
I found my spot on the rocks, got comfy, set up my tripod, and grabbed my....WHAT??? BATTERY-LESS camera. Crappity crap crap!! My battery was home...safe in it's charger. Ugh. So no shooting with my amazing D7000...no wide-angle beauty with my Nikon 12-24mm...nothing.
Right then, a few very cool things happened: 1) the beauty of the place, the sky, my hubby and my amazing friends...and I was suddenly OK with just watching (and not shooting) this amazing show. And 2) my dear friend Kathy (a Canon shooter, but I love her anyway) lent me her back-up camera--a Canon T1i--and the only other lens she had...a 50mm f/1.8.
Up for the challenge, I strapped that little baby to my tripod and shot away...and the Universe graced me with this one shot....in my mind, stunning...
...and earning it's rightful place in folder 52.
My favorite sandwich in Vancouver, Finch’s avocado baguette with butter, lettuce, walnuts, cheese, balsamic vinegar, avocado, and crushed salt. Tasty!
