Bit of a change for me I wanted to see if I could pull of a portrait and come up with something that didn't lose my style.... I think its OK.....finally thanks to my lovely model for this Mimi!!
……But not as rough as it can get in winter months in Coverack! This was an Easterly wind that was whipping a bit of a swell- on the other side of the Lizard it was flat!…….. Hope Friday is going well, stay locked down and cosy to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏

28th June 2017:
Felt as though I was getting a sore throat last night and knew I was this morning - ouch. With paracetamol and throat lozenges at hand I got as far as this garden to take something for today.
Luckily for me it rained most of the night and part of today, but the sun came out and made the raindrops sparkle.
I wasn't going to try for a closer photo, hadn't got the energy, but for what it's worth it's SOOC.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
I had seen this Moss growing on a wall and after a very wet night it looked very fresh is some early morning sunlight.
A bit late for the holiday season, but presented in the spirit of Santa. A weather-worn Limber Pine anchored in granite clings to the slopes of Grassy Top, with the afternoon sun warming its trunk. I'm not sure of the age of the older trees on this slope, but based on nearby trees that I've cored I'd guess this individual might be a bit over 300 years old.
Photo was taken looking down from a bridge.
A bit of info I found on the internet below.
Alligators have three claws on their “feet” (which have four toes) and three claws on their “hands” (which have five digits).
Bit of a shock compared to Hampshire but I am lucky enough to be working in Iceland for a week. Heavy snow, then glorious sunshine and then around that corner a snow storm ( or light flurry if you are Icelandic). Prepared to be bored everybody.
A bit of sunshine would have made this a nice shot, always another day though...
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated.
Been a bit distracted lately but one thing I was working on was a B&W shot of the garlic family, This is one shot from that study.
It seems like I took this a long time ago but I see it wasn't that long. I hope this shot provides a moment of distraction.
All the best in these turbulent times and hope this day finds you safe and in good health! The cause of my distraction and reason I've been a bit absent from flickr lately is I'm approaching retirement and I'm a bit stressed. I was looking to finish out my 40 year career in style, big luncheon planned, lot's of hugging, reminiscing with old friends. Now with the added concern over COVID-19, we postponed the luncheon and I've been working from home for the last week. I cleared out my desk from work but still have another week, 10 days to be precise until my last day on 31 March. Very strange indeed and now I just want to get to the 31st and quell some of this anxiety along with the uncertainty of COVID-19. Well, I'll hang in there so we'll see!
Hunker down, wash those hands and keep your distance from other folk but most of all remember that we're all in this together.

When I began capturing images with my macro lens, my spider friends were some of my favorite subjects. I especially like how this image allows us to see the thin strands of silk coming from the spider's spinneret.
A bit of a Mary Poppins type shot here but instead of the rooftops of London it is the rooftops of St Ives. I have shot this view from the passenger seat through the open passenger car door window many times. It is a well known beautiful view whenever you are taking the outbound road from St Ives towards Carbis Bay. On this particular day I was stretching my neck as usual to 'grab ' a shot when Jonathan spotted a gap on the road and pulled in and parked for just a couple of minutes. I was enchanted by the little garden foreground left, that being below the view from the car window I had never spotted before and was enchanted by both that and the wonderful view from that vantage point…..
St Ives is a town in Cornwall, England, known for its surf beaches, like Porthmeor, and its art scene. The seafront Tate St Ives gallery has rotating modern art exhibitions, focusing on British artists. Nearby, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, in the modernist artist’s former studio, displays her bronzes and other works. Boat trips go to Seal Island, just west of town, to see the seal colony….
The large Tower belongs to St Ia's Church, St Ives, is a parish church in the Church of England in St Ives, Cornwall, UK. It is dedicated to Ia of Cornwall, a 5th- or 6th-century Irish saint, and is a Grade I listed building..
A bit of an obvious one for "Soap", and there are some similar entries for this week's theme.
What makes this one a little different is that I've waited for the sun to come out and shine through the bar of soap to make the logo glow with yellow light, and this type of lighting also has the effect of softening the detail - "soft soap" perhaps?
Shot with a Helios 44M lens at f/8 on about 2cm of extension tubes.
In post processing, I've "turned everything up to 11" to enhance the effect, cropped down to the logo and I've cloned out a few tiny blemishes.
Bit distant again so a fairly large crop.
Many thanks for your comments and faves. Always appreciated.

Milky Way @ Stonehenge, Wiltshire UK
Well I've been a bit frustrated wrt the Milky Way core this year as when it's visible around 3am or so unless it's at a weekend I just can't shoot it as I wreck myself for work and weekends have been pretty crap so far.
I got myself a second hand fast prime lens through mpb earlier in the year and have been wanting to try it out for astro.
More recently the MWC has been 'visible' just after midnight but again far too many clouds most nights. However, the other night there was a forecast for skies to be clearing around midnight so I took a chance but wanted somewhere not to far away so despite the known light pollution I set off on the 35min drive to Stonehenge.
Experimented with f/1.4-f/2 shots and 2-2.5min exposures using the Move-Shoot-Move star tracker I have.
I can't say I think this is a great image and I'll try to convince myself it's more to do with the light pollution (I wish Salisbury's street lights went off at 10pm!) than my lack of shooting/editing skills. However I thought I'd post it just as a bit of a record of my first attempt with the Sigma 20mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens. 14mm would have been better but I'll cross my fingers canon will eventually see sense and let Sigma produce RF compatible glass.
For the record - the image is a composite of a 150s exposure at f/2 ISO100 for the sky and 30s f/4 ISO1600 for Stonehenge.
I'm planning on taking this lens to Iceland in October so wish me luck seeing and shooting the Northern Lights during the few nights I'm there on a Workshop.
Thanks for viewing and have a good weekend everyone..

Thank you very much my lovely flickr friends for all your kind comments. I wish you a very happy and beautiful weekend and week : ))
A bit of practice on a flier with the Sigma 500 mm f4.5 handheld . Really enjoying the learning curve and enjoying the bit of extra reach and although not as quick as my 400mm f5.6 it does the job if I put in my part . Have to be one of the most fantastic birds to photograph and I could photograph them flying and hunting anytime !!
Please do not use my images in any way without my permission they are copyright protected !!
Please take A look in Large !! press L
Thanks to everyone that takes the time and makes the effort to comment and fave my pics its very much appreciated

As I write this Hong Kong is experiencing a bit of turmoil. The photos of protestors I see are quite striking and a reminder that when one's freedom is taken away, trouble is not far behind. But for me, this is Hong Kong. The city is filled with spirited people who are not afraid to stand up and be heard. While Communist China will ultimately win, perhaps positive changes can be made tho' I'm cynical to believe freedom will win.
That said, Hong Kong is a vibrant and vigorous city that rivals New York City with it tall and massive skyscrapers. It is easy to feel dwarfed walking along the streets. You might even feel as if you're in a deep hole as natural light seems so far in the distance. If you reach your hand toward the sky, perhaps you'll touch the light tho' you never seem to touch the light.
I've spent a relatively short amount of time in Hong Kong as the city is always a stopover as I travel to/from Bali. Sometime I'd like to spend an extended period of time in Hong Kong to touch the soul of the city. I want to know all of its curves, quirks, tastes and sounds. Up to now I've experienced the top tourist things to do and this isn't quite so satisfying for me. It's almost as if I've only seen the superficial while I know there is a heart and soul to the city.
As you can view in the video presentation in this blog post, I can only recommend the Star Ferry Harbour Tour, the Tram and Tramoramic Golden Ticket Tour and Temple Street Night Market.

I had a bit of a disappointing start to the day, despite good conditions predicted there was no mist to be seen around Corfe Castle where I was first thing this morning.
Luckily tonights sunset was absolutely beautiful at my local beach. On the ledge there is also another photographer enjoying the conditions.
I think I am getting into a bit of a rut. I need to think of somewhere different to go.
University started again and it's very interesting, but my schedule is really full as always and it's kinda exhausting already. So I will be (hopefully not to long) a bit missing on flickr. Additionally I have a flu since one week. Good news is my visit of munich was fantastic! Lots of sightseeing in one day - new record I think.
Have a wonderful monday friends!
A little bit of sunshine goes a long way, especially in these dark winter days.
Kenidjack Common, St Just.
