autumn past......

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!

The yellowish leaves of this Gleditsia tree catch the soft spring morning sun.

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.

The zoom blur effect here is not the result of an app, though Photoscape X has an array of those available. This is produced by processing a number of multiple exposures. The still point with no zoom effect on the variegated rose is produced through digital cut and paste.

The roses in our garden are huge this year. Perhaps the result of an unusually cool and wet spring.

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.

Although flowering late this year, this beautiful red bottlebrush (Callistemon) makes a bright appearance.
