Photographing signs is not the most original venture. In the background, a few lights from the skyscrapers in Frankfurt downtown can be seen. Just messing around.

A rambling Rose from my garden...

Opulent the whole Summer.

Can't have everything.

Kites look so much better against a darker background. I usually get shots of them with a white or blue sky and the contrast is just not enough. That's why I think this is a lovely background.

Looking close...on Friday - "Pink on white background"

After a demo last week at the Club on adding a background, thought I would have a try?

A Japanese Spider Chrysanthemum, again; a different type.

The name "chrysanthemum" is derived from the Greek words chrysos (gold) and anthemon (flower)

Chrysanthemums, sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae.

They are native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Most species originate from East Asia and the centre of diversity is in China.

Chrysanthemums were first cultivated in China as a flowering herb as far back as the 15th century BC.

The flower was brought to the Western World in the 17th century.There are about 40 valid species and countless horticultural varieties and cultivars.

For many years, chrysanthemum signifies praise and admiration.

A chrysanthemum is considered as a noble flower of the Chinese noble class.

The Japanese hold this flower as the symbol of the sun.

Wishing you a day full of good light and thank you for your visit, M, (*_*)

Photo art. 2017.

While watching a different Mountain Hare we noticed this one running down a hill behind us. He stopped for a few seconds before continuing to find cover, allowing me to get this photo showing the Mountain Hare's habitat.

This is one of my favourites from my recent trip up to the Scottish Highlands - mainly for the falling snow in the background!

Still between Touabaa - Matmata but a little further East the railway crosses a long bridge with a dried up lake in the background. With the hire car, the little Kia that could parked below we waited for the train. Interestingly a group walked across the bridge as we started to hear horns in the distance and thankfully just made it across before it came round the bend, clearly the locals know how to judge it!

Here DH 424 works Al Atlas 103 (Casablanca - Oujda).

Working on a video for this process right now and thought I'd share the image. :) If you want a free PDF of these to print off and play with yourself, please PM me your email and I'll send it off to you!

These are a 'new thing' for me, so I'm just getting my chops yet. :)

I had some reasonable shots of a Kingfisher but they had a pretty uninspiring grey background due to a dull overcast day. So for the very first time I decided to find out how to change the background of the shot, this is the result not perfect by any means but more pleasing to the eye than grey. There is also a slight vignette, it's obviously not a natural background and I would always say if I had done this. Any thoughts ?

a fog laden day at Ft. Sill, OK

I don't usually like to put up new versions of old images, but I've broken my rule in this case. The previous version didn't give a sense of the scale of the building: it was just a crop of the top. This version, I hope, better conveys the height.

Smoke (single flash). It's always a treat when smoke trails take on anthropomorphic characteristics.
