I want to learn how to watercolor and sketch so every once in awhile I play. For today's theme I tried the wet on wet technique for a simple heart to show love. I love playing and I need to learn to make more time for learning. I had signed up to take a waterclolor class this winter and the day it began it was canceled due to two people dropping out at the last minute. Maybe next year...

You can learn new things at any time in your life if you're willing to be a beginner. If you actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world opens up to you.

An exciting and chance discovery in my mum's loft of what appears to be an early experiment in HDR Autocrome photography.

Best send it off for some DNA testing..... :-) HSS !

 

Explore - yet again, I am delighted to have been chosen, within the very short time frame of my previous 'stop me halfway' image, and must thank everyone sincerely for their visits, faves, and comments re this innovative historic find. Daguerre and Fox Talbot eat you heart out !

This 3 month old Bighorn Sheep is already a skilled mountain climber.

 

Bighorns prefer drier climates in the mountains that support grasslands for grazing. They never stray too far away from steep mountain slopes, which give them an advantage over their predators (mainly wolves and cougars).

When I turn on the Lomi this is the button I push to get the compost started.

Beginners in the technique of Kallitype often ask which developer they should choose.

Only a comparison of colour and tonal values with identical exposure time. To achieve the same level of blackness with the acetate developer, the exposure time would have to be slightly longer.

The Abecedarian (Beginner)

 

Starting when I was a young one, I have always enjoyed dressing up and doing bits of role playing which were based on some rather unique desires. As a Mum’s Girl, I guess there were certain influences at play, but even without that, I am sure I would have turned out the same.

 

Also thanks to my deliciously fun mum, I had a ready supply of her old satiny dresses to play in and her old imitation jewellery to wear.

 

I found that my twin brother was a tolerating soul for my dress up moods and my games that revolved around various types of role-playing.

 

Eventually evolving into mostly me playing the fancy-dressed up victim and my twin playing the jewel hungry scoundrel...

 

The story below is how we came around to discovering that we liked to role play like this:

The Old Game

 

My twin brother and I had always enjoyed playing games outside in the woods that surrounded our childhood home, which was a rambling 2 story stone cottage. Formerly part of an ancient farm, we had an acre of lawn and almost 10 acres of woods to meander in.

 

Cops and robbers, hide and seek and bullrush to name a few were all our early favourites, though being the only two children in the area it wasn’t as much fun as playing with a group.

 

Then, around the age of 10, we discovered a variation to put in our games that made them more intensely alluring games to play!

 

Fun for me because I got to dress up in fancy play dress and jewels.

 

Fun for my brother, well, because he got to play with someone dressed fancy and wearing jewels!

 

In the next few weeks I will be delving in and explaining how this all got started, (A new Game of Tag) as well as a few early stories( Puppy Encounter & Playground Puppies)

My first playdate with my paintbrush markers. I had never used these markers before and was trying to get a feel for them.

 

I fear this will be a very long journey. :-))

Saw this guy in the car next to me, while I was pumping gas. Told my son (16) to get a shot of him for me. He's put me to shame again.... S'ok. He's cool. Dad's not.

Hello, my name is Zach and I am a true beginner photographer. I started my photography journey in February of 2023 without knowing a single thing about ISO, Exposure, F-Stops, composition, or photo editing.

 

This is one of the first photos I've ever taken and edited. I am somewhat happy with it for such an early shot in my collection. I think the warmth and brightness feels very inviting. I think the subject isn't the most exciting, but overall, I do feel like it's exposed correctly.

After several failed attempts, I finally managed to get down to Tuscon to catch the guard jets.

 

I couldn't believe my luck when I saw the 21'st FS' colorbird take off first thing in the morning. That set the tone for the day....

Yes, dear Friends: yet another aircraft Image! But before you flick on to the next photo on your screen, do please read on...

 

Our oldest daughter recently set off on what is now an annual three week Trek to other parts of the globe; this time she was going to Auckland, then on to Hawaii and a sundry number of American mainland cities...

 

Having farewelled her in the Terminal, we made our way to a convenient lookout near the northern end of the runway to - well, you know - make sure that her aircraft got out of Wellington safely!

 

Upon reaching the lookout, we were somewhat surprised to see a succession of bright landing lights appearing just above the northern hills on the other side of the harbour! Wellington Airport was clearly about to come alive!!!

 

The question was: which would be the best camera to use? Answer: the SLR! Which Lens? Answer: the 75-300 and hope like anything that the Lens could cope with fast-moving aircraft as they roared in over the Airport's perimeter just 100 or so metres away...

 

By now the first aircraft was approaching rapidly; stay cool, don't rush, turn the camera on, give it a moment to focus, track the aircraft (Not too fast)... Track it... Track it... And... click!

 

So... The reason why you, my loyal Viewers, are being confronted with yet another Image of an Air New Zealand A320 aircraft is because this was my first attempt at panning a large fast-moving object!

 

Other photos followed; some were successful; some weren't, but I have to admit: I was rather pleased with this first shot. Let's call it "Beginner's Luck"!!!

 

Oh, and Daughter's plane? That managed to dodge the incoming flights, and got away safely! She's now enjoying the beauty of Hawaii...!

My camera and equipment were STOLEN! Thank you to everyone who has pedged over $115 so far! For every $300 I reach I will announce a shoot idea.

 

In celebration I am reposting older photos of mine. Together with your help we can make something amazing! And in return you will get a REWARD such as a print! Thank you so much!

After seeing that YSL was stopped under the bridge I decided to go drive over and get a few shots, seconds later Amtrak came rolling above!

I was blessed to be able to watch a juvenile fox at close range, hunting in the tall grasses for a meal. This young fox must have leaped 20 times trying to catch a lemming in the grass. Each time, she came up empty, but she never looked frustrated.

After I watched a video recommended by a friend.

It’s difficult to watch and paint, at least for me.

But I need all the help I can get!

Yamaguchi-sensei patiently adjusts my form as I learn the basics of Kyudo, the Japanese martial art of archery. All five of my arrows shot over the course of one hour with three other students did hit the small target, though mentioning this unimportant detail underscores how little I know.
