...Where I'd Fit In ~ Alicia Keys
A shot of Rox by the West Side highway the other night. This is one of the few shots we kept after browsing through them and Rox yelling "DELETE" if she didn't like it.
I just realized afterward that the ghosting and little light artifacts were coming from my UV filter. I never thought about it until I was sorting through my shots. I also realized that I was shooting in slower shutter speeds that some of what I thought were crisp shots were not totally in focus. Oh well, we live and learn.

Let's all learn about Lupus. A beautiful and selfless cause, Dave! Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your friend!
Excerpt from Dave77459:
...Purple Photos for Lupus Awareness...
The rules: feature the color purple in your photos.
As in years past, I will be making a donation for every photo posted to the group. I will donate $0.10 for every photo posted here and to the target group, up to $100. I will pay for 1000 photos to be taken and posted.
FGR has a 3-a-day limit, which works for me. ASK YOUR FRIENDS TO TAKE AND PHOTOS. Ask your friends to take money out of my pocket! The idea is to raise awareness, after all.
Spread the word, please. Make sure they know the FGR rules, about how it must be taken on Sunday, May 16 and posted within 3 days.
In the past, people have chosen to match my donation. That would be really nice, but you know, your job is to raise awareness.
Thanks in advance for helping me remember my friend.
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils

Express yourself completely, then becomes quiet.
Open yourself to heaven and earth,
and be like the forces of natures.
When the wind blows, there is only the wind;
when it rains, there is only rain;
when the clouds pass, the sun promises to shine.
If you open yourself to insight,
you are at one with insight
and you can use it completely.
Open yourself to heaven and earth,
then trust your natural responses;
and everything will fall into place
by Lao Tzu
And thy water will bless the trees around with a holy Bokeh. (Guess there should be a photographer's bible, no ?)
Will someone guess the bokeh machine used for this shot ?
(Exif won't help ya !)
This is my first attempt of a deliberate bokeh light shot on the Minolta 50mm mounted Sony A6000. While taking the picture, I've noticed how people mundanely crossed the cross walk as if their minds were aloof and stuck in a distant blur of things.

A quiet moment of wonder at EPCOT, captured in silhouette. Framed against the glowing lights of Spaceship Earth, a child in iconic Mickey ears gazes into the night — a timeless image of imagination, excitement, and the magic of Disney. The contrast between shadow and color, stillness and sparkle, tells a story of dreams waiting to come true.
