Goodness...I do believe I forgot to post a photo of Daisy's finished wrapping job. 😲
Come to think of it, I'm getting behind on all counts. Guess I'd better get my butt in gear, eh? 😉
I took this shot a couple of years ago while walking around Venice Beach, CA with visiting family members. It was an overcast day, but we were all so happy to be oceanside that we didn't mind. I used my Nikon D750 and 50mm 1.8D for capture and a combination of Lightroom and Nik for post. I don't normally go this 'candy' in my color photos, so this image brings me out of my comfort zone quite a bit.
While processing, I tried to bring out a sense of depth by cropping to 16x9, adding a touch of artificial bokeh to blur out the sunglasses and the distant boogie boards, and gave it a touch - just a touch - of barrel distortion to mimic a bit of a wide angle in-your-face feel. I used several color effects to add warmth and haze the highlights to give it a warm, dreamy feel. Having gone way too far, I backed off the yellows in Lightroom before moving the oranges and blues away from each other to create a bit more color contrast.
For Macro Mondays: Rubbish/Trash.
Wrappers heading for the trash from fruit flavored Tootsie Rolls. I kinda like the original fudge a lot better.

I just had to post one more for tonight. It has been a long day and I should be well asleep by now, but I spent a portion of the evening finally working on this shot from a couple of months ago, and I like it well enough I figured I had better post it before it gets shoved to the back burner and then who knows when it will see the light of day again.
This was taken on a trip to Bayocean with Silton and Manyfires. The same trip that I made my first stop at the Tillamook air museum. We decided we wanted to go find the location of Bayocean as none of us had ever really explored this area.
As usual, it was a pretty blustery day at the beach, with the wind blowing along pretty strongly at our backs as we hiked through the grass towards the beach. In fact at one point a film wrapper blew out of my pocket and I had a good run across the sand to retrieve it before it blew into the water (I hate littering of any type or amount, this includes all of you who mindlessly toss your cigarette butts on the sidewalk, shame on each of you).
We had all been down on the beach for about ten minutes admiring the crazy dance of clouds and sun, when suddenly, and almost literally at the drop of a hat, the wind completely shifted direction and blew directly into us. I have never really experienced that abrupt a shift in wind before, especially as constant in direction it was not only before shifting but after. It was also just a tad unnerving, like suddenly seeing the tide go way way way out... Ok maybe not THAT unnerving. We were all standing there gaping at the incredible weather when this giant gray cloud that had been a mile out or so on the horizon rushed at and over us close enough that we could have hit it with thrown shells. It was pretty dynamic weather and hard to really convey the awe it imparted without actually having been there. But I can try.
I took this shot on the hike back, for a brief moment the clouds relinquished to the sun and it lit up the field we were in, the sandy path being more reflective to a greater degree. The only camera I had in hand for those brief seconds was my Pentax 6x7 which was loaded with Ortho 25 film. I knew it would be a pain of an exposure but I figured the Ortho would do the scene a certain justice.
And this is the shot that came of it. I think it is still a bit rough around the edges. It is a bit dark, but at the moment I like it that way. For some reason I think this is one of those prints that would look better printed in a darkroom by someone with a good knowledge of dodging, burning and split filtering, then selenium toned to deepen the blacks up. Even the Nikon scanner I used at work has trouble with the varied densities that ortho negs produce and as such left some .... weird areas in the image. But then again, I will probably never print from this particular digital file and opt for the negative instead. One reason I like shooting film, sort of get the best of both worlds that way. ;-)
Anyway, now I am rambling. Good night to all heading that way, and good morning to all coming from that direction too.
On our visit to Sakansen we went through the Aquarium where we found some very cool reptiles. This is a Green Emerald Boa Constrictor or a Green Tree Boa.

Not sure where I found this - somewhere in my cyber travels. I do apologise to the original owner, but I think it is a fabulous idea as laser cut cupcake wrappers are so expensive.

On a decaying fallen pine tree, in the thin space between wood and bark, a thin cylindrical world of vines and tendrils exists. The bark removed, this strange web of life is revealed.
