I'm not actually interested in wildlife photography but I was visiting a local garden centre yesterday and a whole collection of rescued owls was there, surrounded by people taking photos and being photographed holding them. I've never been entirely comfortable seeing things like that but of course the impulse to take photos myself was irresistible. I also recognise that the people who take care of these beautiful creatures do a good job - the birds certainly wouldn't survive in the wild - and have to raise funds somehow. In this case the rescue centre is Lancashire Hawks and Owls and I hope they made lots of money during a very busy day. And I hope all the birds weren't as bored as they looked!
...or Now, it's quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him 'elpless. Monty Python's Flying Circus.
These are a gift for one of our nieces and I couldn't resist taking pictures since they are so cute :)
Staged on a mirror with black felt behind to get the black background/reflection. View Large On Black
Strobist Info: Vivitar 285HV on 1/16 snooted above the subject; another Vivitar 285HV on 1/4 handheld camera right for fill. Both were fired using Cactus V2 triggers.
A case of poor background? Hard to see the 'subject', which is why I did not as I passed close by. Possibly a Red Diamondback? Sharon would know, maybe when she gets back we will know!
This monochrome photograph showcases a collection of seashells arranged artistically against a dark background. The black and white tones emphasize the textures and patterns of the shells, highlighting their spiraling forms and the intricate lines that trace the growth of each shell.
The shells vary in size and shape, with some featuring elongated spires and others displaying more rounded, compact forms. Their placement in the composition seems intentional, creating a balance between the various shapes and directing the eye across the image. The play of light and shadow is masterfully captured, with the light source coming from the side, casting deep shadows and enhancing the three-dimensional quality of the shells.
The choice of black and white photography strips away the distraction of color, allowing the viewer to focus on the forms, lines, and textures that make each shell unique. The arrangement evokes a sense of natural symmetry and beauty, often found in objects sculpted by the sea. The overall effect is one of elegance and quiet beauty, inviting reflection on the wonders of the natural world.

OK so these are actually Autumn leaves, and this picture wasn't taken yesterday, but what the heck I reprocessed it and think it looks alright.
Selective colour plus some orton effect
