Sometimes you get a photo in your head, and you can't move past it till you take the shot. I thought this idea was a bit silly to be honest, a chess set at an oblique angle. Originally I was going to have a clock, and a hand in frame preparing to manipulate a piece, but as the photo evolved I began deconstructing the scene. Removed the boring lights, used my new RGB lights to fill, and trace lines. Smacked the hand away, and filled the scene with vapor... It wasn't exactly easy getting the components to mesh well, adjusting camera angle, how much vapor I wanted. I think in the end, I took a fairly generic photo and put a different spin on it.

This is my first real test of both my 56mm portrait lens, and my RGB lights I bought for light painting purposes. How'd it come out?
Sometimes you find yourself looking for a place to turn around, start heading home. Sometimes it's just past golden hour, and something unexpected happens. Sometimes the Light decides it's going to go nuts.
This is a re edit of a shot I took back in may of 2020, a cove off Lake Glennville, where the light began to work along the clouds and gave me one last shot for the day.

Same image as yesterday but edited more naturally...
Do you have a favorite between the two?
As for me, I like them both actually, for different reasons :)
Arthur, our silly African Grey, poses with that big beak and golden eye prominently on display.
26 years old, happy and healthy, this bird adds a lot of flavor and joy to our lives!

Mallards swim and bob next to the ice shelf, with the lighthouse in the background.
A cold January day at the lakeshore.
Focusing on the half-turned leaves of this stately old tree in our neighborhood...
Probably 100 feet in height, this Horse Chestnut tree graces the property a block from our house. Horse Chestnut trees are not true Chestnut trees but are actually Buckeyes. And unlike the edible nuts of true Chestnut trees, the nuts of Horse Chestnuts are poisonous and can cause extreme sickness and even death when eaten.
Feeding quietly in the lush grass...
In my processing I gave a light and airy feel to this sweet scene of nature.
This cutie wasn't sure of what to make of me as I passed by. I asked permission of her walker if I could capture her in her warm, pink dog sweater and then proceeded to get low with a straight-on view of her.
It looks like a Chihuahua if I'm not mistaken.
This was taken after my dad & I attached the boat to his truck to go home after fishing.
My husband & I are leaving today for Kentucky for the TN KY game tomorrow!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Goodnight!

Taken in our garden. I have played around quite a bit with Levels, Hues and Contrast in PS. My first try at capturing a moving thing...flowers are a much easier subject to work with! I started shooting in Apeture mode but quickly changed to shutter speed mode..not as clear and crisp as I would like, but I got a little impatient waiting for these guys to wander into my nicely framed (and tripoded) field of view!
Second image in this Sparrow series...
Surveying its territory, this sparrow posed nicely for me atop a rock overlooking the water below.
Believe it or not House Sparrow are not native to North America, but are an Old World Species from Europe.
Which makes them an invasive species here. First imported to America in the 19th century, they were breeding and wild by 1910.
(Thank you Robert Meisner for making me aware of this fact!)
However there are many of other sparrow species which are native here (New World Species).
Milkweed is a host plant for not only butterflies like the Monarch, but to many other insects as well, one being the adult Red Milkweed Beetle you see here.
The plant's milky sap is toxic to many insects, but some bugs have adapted to its poison and have actually integrated it into its own defense systems.
The bright orange/red and black of this beetle is a warning to birds and other predators that screams "eat me and you'll be sorry. I taste bitter and you may end up dying because of me. So buzz off and leave me alone!"
I captured this individual as it perched on the tip of a milkweed leaf.
Isn't nature wonderful?
Fifth in my current flower series...
There are over 430 species of Primrose. This blue and gold variety was growing in a sidewalk garden and caught my eye as I walked by. The Primrose comes in so many colors and is always a delight to see.
Enjoy :)
A high-key rendering of a flock of Mallards lifting off together.
This flock of ducks has overwintered here at our lakefront for quite a few years now. Amazing how they can survive our cold Wisconsin winters.
Have a great week everyone!
Minimal, yet colorful.

Enjoy.
Fifth and last image in this September spider series...
I found this Orbweaver munching on a fly that had been ensnared in its web. Look closely and you can see the dark fly in the spider's mouth!
The golden light is not only a pleasant color to our eyes, but it also nicely backlights the spider, giving it a translucent appearance.
I have many more spider images, but I will stop the series at five lest every viewer becomes arachnophobic, lol.
Enlarge the image if your dare...

As a photographer, one of the benefits of living so close to a large body of water is the constant change in its form and appearance.
Depending on the sky, wind, and weather, its water can appear as gray, green, brown, blue, or emerald. From placid to thunderous waves in short order, it always shows beauty, power, and life.
Living one short block from its shore, what more could I ask for?!!
Canon 40D . 6 Sec @F18 B+W 6 stop and Cpl. and my new Giottos Tripod.
The CPL got me the perfect reflections on this one, i am pretty pleased with the result. ALso i used an Apeture of F18 to get maximum focus throughtout the image.
LadyBower Reservoir, Peak District.
Thanks for looking!

Have a great weekend, everyone :)
Taken during blue hour (after sunset) with a Fujifilm X-T3 in video mode at 4 fps, auto apeture and iso settings (single frame @ 4K). This event occurred ~7:58PM on 26 Aug.
This positive strike, based on thunder (occurred about 1 sec later and it was LOUD: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/51417257579) and no multiple stokes. This equates to a distance of ~1000 feet. Specks in the air are illuminated raindrops and since they show little movement, one can assume that this strike occurred at the end of the 1/4s exposure or that this bolt lasted only milliseconds.
Taken at 16mm (or 24mm, 35mm camera format).
I took this photo with my Canon AE-1. This was shot on Ilford HP5 Plus (400) and developed in Clayton F76 (Scanned Film).
This was taken in fairly low light the apeture was f/2.8 with a shutter speed of 1/60 (Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 lens)
-A little more variety for my photo stream.
Golden-ringed Dragonfly (male) - Cordulegaster boltonii, taken while in my garden with this camera, while trying to work out why I had lost the ability to set the apperture with the apeture ring on the lens, I found the answer and took this shot aswell.
The Golden-ringed is a widely found, but declining dragonfly across the UK, due to rises in temprature and the tendancy to drain, swampy and boggey areas, it preffers to lay boggey pools to ponds and lakes
I encountered a few deer one evening last year as I hiked a nature trail.
I processed this with a soft and low contrast look.
I hope you enjoy it. I sure enjoyed seeing and interacting with these beautiful animals that day.
Have a great week everyone.

So in their theory elementary particles are not the fundamental building blocks of matter. Instead, they emerge from the deeper structure of the non-empty vacuum of space-time.
Third image in this Swan Series...
It was full sun at 9:30 in the morning, and the trees were reflecting their colors into the pond water. Relaxed and regal, this swan posed so nicely for me and wasn't fazed by my presence.
This was a country roadside pond, and I was standing 150 feet from the swan when capturing the image, giving the wild swan plenty of space.
Having said that, this was the male Mute swan, swimming 50 feet away from the female who was sitting on her nest. So despite its relaxed appearance, it was faithfully keeping guard and would have not hesitated to drive me off if it felt threatened!
While graceful in appearance, Mute swans earn their reputation as the most aggressive swans in North America, as compared to the other two species, the Trumpeter and the Tundra.
No one wants to get hammered by their flying 25-lb. bodies-- OUCH!
