Looking a little worse for wear, with many a scratch and blemish on the brass.

Objective from an old Prior microscope. I also took a shot of the lens as a possible Macro Monday (in photostream), but decided on this one instead (mostly because it is 42!).

It's not so easy to make a decent photo of two fairly large models, when you have a) limited space, b) limited size of the landing pad and c) limited size of the background sheet.

Right key is always the answer. How often we find it? How often we have the courage to use it?

Thank you so much for your views, comments and favs. I really do appreciate every one!

#AbFav_SIGNS_of_SPRING_🐝

On my last visit to Belgium, I met up with a friend, a lady who is also a keen 'free-style' gardener like me, so it was inevitable that we talk plants and flowers...

I asked her the 'impossible' question, what is YOUR favourite flower???

After some humming and aahhing, her answer was WALLFLOWER!!!!!!

For all its stunning colours, no two are ever the same.

One of the few flowers that I had not photographed in the studio yet...

The weather was lovely, a late Easter Sunday, we wandered through her garden and I saw the wallflowers!

She got involved with a plant and that was my opportunity to take the shots!

Here they are, the fragrant multi-coloured wallflowers.

Lead and enjoy a good life, do and say things that enrich... and do not forget to tell the people close to you, how much you love them!

With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

This Goddess has her head in her hands. Who do I listen to?, she thinks. I've got a woman in front of me looking for answers, and my advisor to the right says one thing and the one on the left says another. Woe is me - whats a Goddess to do?

This picture may very well be better without the advisors or the woman. The original photo was looking up at a window curtain. No goddess, strange advisors, or woman wanting answers. But I like playing around, and this is the result.

Michael Patten was a professor of ancient civilizations at Gotham University, specializing in lost civilization and the theories behind their disappearances. His lectures and theories caught the attention of the Riddler, leading to him consulting Patten for riddles for his crimes. Due to the fact that the Riddler is, well, the Riddler, Patten agreed, and aided Nygma in creating riddles for crimes. However, Nygma purposefully rigged the riddles so that the clues would lead back to Patten. Arrested and disgraced, Patten began to seek out vengeance. When he was released from Black Gate, he became the Answer, calling himself, “the answer to Gotham’s seedy underground.” Patten’s violent take on justice put him at odds with Batman, leading Patten to add Batman to the problem he seeks to answer. In his mind, Batman’s approach to justice is a problem, and only he can answer it

It will all be worth it.

Worth it in the end.

Lost my hard drive while I was uploading these photos on the 9th, with years of photos on it... until my husband found the program from Wondershare "recoverit". Highly recommended. If you ever lose a drive, use this before you do anything else. As far as I can see ALL photos where recovered! He bought the full version, in my opinion, well worth it!

Can you teach someone to make a stunning photograph? I have always thought the answer was yes. You teach them about simplifying the image. To shoot in good light and to understand all light. The guidelines of composition. How form and colors and textures can work with you or against you. How to let your subjects “in” and truly “feel” what your shooting. How the camera “sees” the world differently then the human eye. How to think like an artist, be more creative......and to shoot with passion.

I just returned from the Imaging USA photo expo in San Antonio yesterday, and I had the opportunity to do some shooting on the way down. As I was looking at the photos on my computer last night I was very much aware of the quality of the images compared with my horrible photos from a few years back. It was a battle, but what a difference!! I truly believe that anyone with dedication and an open mind can learn to be a better photographer. I have never heard of anyone who was great when they started out. But through hours of hard work and time behind the lens learning everything they could from every possible source they slowly became master of their art. I would like to start spending more time sharing knowledge and tips on flickr and my new blog (link coming soon) that I have learned and continue to learn to help with that long process. These images inspired me to begin that journey. No, they are not my best images. They won't stun the world with their beauty, and power. Yet they are strong images despite the fact that they were not taken in the most incredible places on earth. They are strong because of light, form, composition, texture, story, perspective, scale, and in the case of the bottom image, an amazing sunrise and breaking every “rule” in the book. I believe they encompass the ideas I mentioned above and many more. The BW's where taken with a LEE Big Stopper near Corpus Christi (South Texas). The windmill shots and the sunrise shot were taken about an hour from where I live in Southeast Colorado. (I stopped for a few minutes while it was still dark to see what would happen if I took a long exposure and used my Nikon Speedlight {flash} to light the moving blade {thrid image in comments.} As the sun came up I got a pretty good light show behind me {bottom image} and the light from the sunrise was reflecting off the clouds and lighting the windmills {second image in comments} to create that amazing pink glow).

I will be spending time in coming posts explaining in depth the ideas I mentioned above, as well as more concepts and techniques to take better photographs. I have a six month photo trip starting in March to SE Asia, however I will still be posting and active on flickr. (I was recently offered a major book deal, so if I choose to accept it, I may not have as much time, but I will still post as much as possible. {why would you even consider turning down a book deal from a major publisher? Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. Not something you want to live by when your trying to create a powerful image in Tibet;})

Thanks for stopping in!

I will make it a priority to visit your streams over the next few days.

he walked, occupied by the simple mechanics of a meal. a green shirt, chosen without thought. behind him, a metal curtain held a question and an answer painted in the same shade of green. a face looked on, frozen in contemplation. it was a perfect, accidental harmony of color and code, a random variable in the city's vast equation that, for a single, unobserved second, produced a solution. then he was gone, and it was just a wall again.

The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind...

In The Wynwood Walls couple, I was able to discover why there are many photographers who can not answer a simple question, _What is the best lens for street photography....? Because many of them have become famous doing what is called street photography and who is best to asked the question, right...? But when you ask them a question related to which lens should be used for that need they simply get lost in not a lens, but they talk about various lenses, among them, 50mm, 35mm, the rare 45mm, 24, etc., etc. They always cover with their lenses but do not tell you that for a good photograph of the street the best is a lens of excellent quality, for example the legendary Konica Minolta that can work very well in a Sony camera. But the main thing is this, good or great editing and cropping that's all....

Look at the lens I use, it does not resemble any of the measures that so-called professionals use, other than that, nor is Minolta, which if that, is excellent lens.
