Shakerley mere as seen through a Lee Big Stopper 10 stop filter.
Yeap, it's underexposed, but I like it this way.
Dornoch Beach, Scotland.
A 2 piece HDR panorama from 3 different exposures. Won't be doing many panoramic HDRs, pain the arse to process. Horrific composition with the horizon precisely along the centre, but I couldn't decide where to crop to. As with many of my recent photos, they're more exercises in processing to remind me what to try when I bother spending more time taking the actual photos. 5 mins spent at the camera would make my 5 hours at the computer worthwhile!
We built this bigger brooder in the barn to house my growing chickens and get them out of the house. It is made out of two cheapass laminate bookcases we were going to throw out and about $40 in lumber and brackets. Reuse, recycle, repurpose, etc.
Don't wanna push no narcotic revolution
Don't wanna push you down Dead End Street
Don't like to see you run around in circles
Don't wanna turn you into a piece of concrete
Get down to the real thing
Get down to what you honestly feel
You better do it from the heart
Don't you do it from the head
You better do it from the heart
Hate to see you fade away
In some heartbreak-hotel room
Hate to see you run & hide
Like a disease in the gloom
Get down y'r instinct
Get down to what you honestly feel
You better do it from the heart
Don't you do it from the head
You better do it from the heart
I don't need y'r friendly talk
& y'r words as sweet as honey
I don't want y'r so called smile
While y'r mind is on my money
Hate to see you starin' at the points of y'r shoes
Just wanna crack you up, just wanna turn you loose
Hey child get down & nasty
Get down to what you honestly feel
Dope sucks
It's comin' out of my nose

Brood X periodical cicadas emerge every 17 years in parts of Maryland.
In backyards and forests across the eastern U.S., one of nature’s greatest spectacles is underway. Although it may lack the epic majesty of the wildebeest migration in the Serengeti or the serene beauty of cherry blossom season in Japan, this event is no less awe-inspiring. I’m talking about the emergence of the Brood X cicadas.
Every 17 years the billions of constituents of Brood X tunnel up from their subterranean lairs to spend their final days partying in the sun. This generation got its start back in 2004, when Facebook existed only at Harvard University and Friends aired its last episode. The newly hatched cicada nymphs fell from the trees and burrowed into the dirt. They have been underground ever since, feeding on sap from the rootlets of grasses and trees and slowly maturing. All of that preparation has been leading up to this moment when they surface in droves—up to 1.4 million cicadas per acre—to molt into their adult form, sing their deafening love song and produce the next generation before dying just a few weeks later.

I'm not sure if I like the spottiness of the pattern. I'm still trying to figure out what "normal" looks like.

2. Requiring or exhibiting courage and bravery.
3. Unduly forward and brazen;
4. Clear and distinct to the eye; conspicuous
Your goal for this assignment is to compose and take a photo of something that fits one or more of the definitions bold. Go for vivid, saturated colors, big brash subjects...go forth and be bold! While you are seeking out the boldness around you, be sure remember the elements of composition, dof, and all that other great photography stuff.
WIT
I arrived back in Boston on a red-eye Sat morning (I apologize that I haven't critiqued last weeks assignments - that will come soon, I promise) after a rather exhausing week-long business trip. Not wanting to crash and waste the day, I sent a message to Garrey(f) to ask if he had any weekend shooting plans.
We settled on another attempt at some long exposure images in Boston - first at the gardens and then in the city. I got some very satisfying images which I'll no doubt be posting over the next week and spent some time with Garrey trying to decide what would make a bold image. Since he refused to get into the Boston duck pond and pose next to the "pond closed" signs we had to settle for something a little less bold.
This image was taken near the pond. Mazshaxlong will recognise this as close to where we started when she visited Boston a couple of years ago. I decided that the dramatic sky and a moving carousel would be bold and dramatic and possibly a little creepy. I tried several variations of this from a few angles and was a little irritated when a man stepped into one of my shots. When I was looking through the images later though, I decided that his presence adds quite a lot to the story in the image.
I used a B+W 110 neutral density filter to get the long exposure during full daylight. In post processing I did some contrast adjustments and a little selective darkening to add drama to the sky.
