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! :)
This is a stitched panorama shot.

Sagrada Família, Barcelona, España.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.
The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudí achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.

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.

A huge part of styling is picking the right combination of cosmetics and accessory pieces for the perfect look. Fashion is a very popular art form, vehicle for self-expression, and creativity - especially when it comes to choosing your aesthetics.
The choices you therefore make in your jewelry selections play a vital role in expressing who you are and what pieces are most important to your fashion interests and statements.
This Heartsdale Jewelry’s [HJ] Mists of Avalon Necklace & Earrings Set is one splendid example. This elegant, gold-veined and black pendant set is a mystical and magical pairing which seamlessly complements the stunning biophilic beauty of this Le'La Hiral Outfit.
Adding to the glamorous vibe of this ensemble, I chose M&T Garage Giada Eyeshadow. It features eyeliner which is certainly beauty's shape shifter. Dark and smoldering with its winged look, this stunning makeup channels your mood into the exotics.
For my moist sexy looking lips, I selected YoUnique Cosmetics Monaco Glamour lipstick. I then chose Maktub Store’s Gina Eyes. These eyes give my look a beautifully ferocious extra edge.
All of these items noted above are sold exclusively at Swank Events for September. Explore your beauty potential and come celebrate Swank Events 7 Year Anniversary with us!

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!
"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.

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.
