This crimson beauty brought me back to my Goth days, dressed head to toe in everything Black, even currently listening to Gary Numan whilst I type this out. This was actually the last photo I took on way back home after a brief walkabout yesterday, before it started raining and some of the droplets you can see on the petals. I have barely touched this photo in post processing, not much enhanced saturation at all nor light adjustments, sometimes organic should mean just that.
I decided the dust off the Tamron 70-200mm as it gives a very good bokeh, but I find the D5600 offers plenty more texture in the blowout than my old D3400. Moderate D-Active Lighting and auto WB. It had clouded over due to the rain and the Sunlight was quickly diminishing. So I think is as natural as you can get.
Is it me or has this week felt particularly long? Anyway, it's Friday tomorrow, and so as always thank you! :)
I was making the long trek back to my car after a disappointing photo shoot at dusk... seeking to photograph some elusive deer in the nature park, but they kept themselves nicely hidden in the forest. Darkness fell quickly.
Then I came across this beautiful fountain lit with the most glorious light. I had seen this fountain during the day, but didn't realize how stunning it looked at night. I had to stop and take some shots... both short and long exposure. I was hoping to catch some water droplets at short exposure, but it wasn't until I got at home that I realized how artistic the extended-exposure shots were.
This is an example of the age-old adage:
If your planned shot isn't happening, move around; if you keep your eyes open, photo ops are all around us.

Both reflection and symmetry are essential elements of the Islamic architecture.
To take pictures here would be a kind of therapy because water as smooth as a mirror has a beneficial effect on peace of mind. I feel as if I can see even my subconsciousness at this location.

Have a nice weekend everyone!
Since the estate with its Tudor mansion could not find a buyer for a very long time, the woods in the grounds were not really managed and therefore went through their natural cycle of life. Life's end can have its own aesthetics.
Modern and traditional mixed. I personally think the results can be very beautiful in the right setting
"A weed is a plant out of place."
I don't remember who made the statement, but this is a perfect illustration of the point. When this Purple Salsify (Tragopogon porrifolius) flowers it can be quite spectacular - and it dominates our neighbour's front garden at the moment. But it is a terrible weed because it spreads everywhere and fast by the dispersion of seeds with the wind or by the birds.
My aim here is to reproduce the zoom effect with multiple exposures in processing. Naturally enough, a lens zoom is impossible when using a macro lens [Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 lens}. The result is an impressionistic Azalea.

The aesthetics of black rocks and black sand in contrast with the sea is so gorgeous! It takes me back to the north coast of my island. The sea is too wild and seaspray so dense always, that wouldn't be really possible to live that close (not allowed by law) and the windows wouldn't look that nice.
But in SL we can dream! so anytime I can I rezz my houses by or in the sea. Scarlet Creative's Barcelona Beach cabin, is minimal, beautiful and stylish, so much glass, I thought it could pair very nicely with Fancy Decor's Larsen set for Fameshed this month. Keeping it simple, clean, modern, using monochromes to connect with the blacks and greys of the rocks and letting the sea and the dracaenas to finish the job ❤

What would you guess? Probably a decade ago as a bird was sitting up on those wires it dropped a Malus Lollipop Crabapple tree seed into the ditch at the side of the road. In her not so quiet solitude she grew to be the Queen of the road.
Seen at our local cemetery. Whether we like the aesthetics or not, the visual language used here is pretty strong. A life being broken off - violently. We are left with the ruins. Should the column not be whole? What is this design that forces us to contemplate our own end?
The bust of Nefertiti
It is the undisputed star of the New Museum and, along with the Pergamon Altar and the Ishtar Gate, the most famous exhibit on Berlin's Museum Island: the colorfully painted bust of Nefertiti, made around 1340 BC.

So much can be debated regarding what constitutes a worthy picture. The ridge of a Swiss mountain range or a collection of pallets in an empty lot?
A color filled sunset or a monochromatic pile of wood?
Harmonics of hues, black and white dynamics, balance, design, poetics; etc. The didactics are endless.
As the year draws to an end I want to express how much I enjoy seeing your pictures and interacting with you in this forum of photography.
In college I picked up an art appreciation book and was introduced to and fascinated by images by George Tooker (The Subway) and Louis Guglielmi (Terror in Brooklyn) which showed the social isolation we exist in despite being surrounded by society.
Although flowering late this year, this beautiful red bottlebrush (Callistemon) makes a bright appearance.
A French beauty. Our Charles De Gaulle rose begins to open to a highly fragrant bloom of lilac petals.
The present building was designed and built between 1922-1936 by an acclaimed architectural competition which was won by Gustaf Clason and Wolter Gahn. The architects' work was characterized by compromises between usability requirements, cultural history and aesthetics. So they blended modernism with the pastiche-like classicism.
