The Vogel Challenge 2021 has begun. In 2020 I have "snapped" 179 bird species despite Corona. Now I hope for a successful new bird year.
For years, I've been asked to do pictures of me as comic book women, so I've done some online research to find out who they are and what they look like. Then I put together costumes to get their look as close as I can. Usually, it takes a good bit of photo editing. Making their look and building sets or finding good locations is a fun process. Thanks to the people who have suggested who they would like me to appear as. I have more in the works. If you have any suggestions, please drop me a line.
Compositionally Challenged Week 20 - Active Space
After looking in my bird books, I think this is a Swainson's Hawk.
We watched the hawk for several minutes while it moved from one branch to another before it took flight carrying a piece of bark.
One of my challenges has been to get an artistic photo of a dove. I like the creatures but they are a challenging photographic subject from an aesthetic perspective!

Pray for Me Guys! I'm not a big spicy foods fan but I am putting myself up for the Spicy Noodle Challenge! I've got milk, I've got water, and in the freezer I've got some ice cream to combat the heat. Wish Me Luck!

The challenge calls for "My Favourite Things". I have lots of favourite things to choose from but visiting the Sumatran Tigers at Australia Zoo is really a great pleasure.
"Australia Zoo is home to some of the last surviving Indonesian species of big cat – the Sumatran tiger!
Found throughout the forests and grasslands of Sumatra, these big cats are the smallest of all remaining tiger species. They are an impressive and powerful hunter with the ability to jump up to 5 metres (16 feet) in length! Using their stealthy stalking abilities, they will successfully hunt deer, pigs, jungle fowl and fish. Sumatran tigers have a range of vocalisations and communication tools. Their roar can be heard up to 3 kilometres (1.8 miles) away. Crikey! Like all tiger species, their beautiful orange and black striped coat is unique to every individual, just like our fingerprints!
Sumatran tigers are a critically endangered species. There are fewer than 350 left in the wild. These beautiful animals are victim to the illegal wildlife pet trade, illegal poaching for traditional medicine, illegal hunting for pelts and meat, as well as experiencing rapid deforestation and habitat loss. They are a species that is facing certain extinction without our protection."

A few weeks back our camera club had an outing to Canary Wharf in east London to photograph a 'winter lights' display, a selection of light displays scattered around Canary Wharf (some of them very good) that got underway once it got dark.
The meet up was at 5:30 pm but I decided to make my way there beforehand and so arrived in the early afternoon for what I hoped would be some long exposure photography. That didn't really turn out too well to be honest but I am forever the architectural enthusiast and so I set about shooting some of the architecture around the estate with a wide angle lens.
One of the compositions I saw in my mind's eye almost immediately was this one with all the vertical shapes in the frame. And for once, in a winter that has been as dull and gloomy as I can remember here in the UK, for once it was sunny and gloriously bright. The whole world seems lit up when the sun shines, our moods become more open and people linger in sunny spaces where otherwise they would slink back to their offices and places of work. It was just lovely to be out with a camera.
This was not a long exposure as you can probably see but the water was still and the reflections on it were clear. It's March as of tomorrow and I'm really starting to imagine we'll soon be getting more of this kind of weather... please!
Dor Walker, here's my version... adjusted various tones & hues plus the little puddle. Tried to add some punch to it but don't know if I succeded.
Thanks for the challenge!
- a flatlay for Saturday Self-Challenge: knolling
In 1987, in the quiet after-hours at Frank Gehry’s furniture shop, as a janitor named Andrew Kromelow cleared up, he would gather stray tools and experiment with arranging them in a grid-like pattern.
He called the practice “knolling,” after the hard angles of Knoll furniture, a popular brand that Gehry was designing for at the time.
Today, knolling more often refers to the art of spacing out objects on a flat surface at tidy angles to one another and photographing the arrangement from above.
many thanks for all visits, faves and comments
Doug Harrop Photography • July 10, 1986
Eleven miles of Southern Pacific's causeway over the Great Salt Lake were severely damaged by storms that passed through the region in June of 1986. Even though the route was shut down to through traffic, the causeway was teaming with rip rap and ballast trains in a fever pitch to rebuild and return the line to service.

These items were at the Battlesbridge Antiques and Reclamation Centre.
These garden Ornamental Obelisk are also made on site by the company (anyoldfrenchiron.com) I was quite impressed with this one.
For the challenge community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/459323-black-and-wh... started by Strawberry Singh.
While still in the process of amassing an inventory that allows me to get more creative with mix-and-match:ing I am finding myself wearing a lot of basic looks in SL, sometimes similar to this one. I originally had a very specific idea of what I wanted this picture to look like, but as I was using the Black Dragon viewer for the first time when taking the shot my original vision started to fade once I became aware of my own ineptitude - so I decided to keep it simple instead. ♥

"Is this what it's going to be like covering you if you're president?" the reporter then asked. "We're going to have this kind of confrontation in the press room?"
"Yeah, it is going to be like this", he replied.
On a trip west to Portland, Oregon, UP's Challenger #3985 is working hard upgrade in the Blue Mountains of Oregon on a rainy June morning in 1993.
It's mainly very expensive clothes for people who spend summer holidays on boats. With summer over, I don't think there will be many customers. There was only one boat left in the harbour after I saw the last three sailboats leave. The canal will now be closed until next summer.

NEW CHALLENGE: MIXMASTER CHALLENGE #75 - Chef: skagitrenee
CHEF skagitrenee wants us to focus on photographic work!
➤ Create your background from photographed flowers or flower parts.
➤ Your main focus should be a single organic element: botanical object or (non-human) animal.
➤ Include a repeating element, natural or not.
➤ Also a 3D-appearing geometric shape created by you (not photographed) using your own basic software, such as Photoshop or Gimp, but no pre-made or AI shapes.
➤ NO AI-prompted landscapes.
Taking photos at -35C is always a challenge (both for the photographer and the equipment), but making time-lapses adds to the difficulty to have the equipment working for 4 to 5 hours straight in the frigid cold. This is one frame of a time-lapse I captured a few days ago. Check it out on YouTube or Vimeo:
