Why is it, when you CAN'T do something, you find yourself wanting to do that exact thing more than you ever did when you COULD have done it? I've had this tat for a long time. Never had any desire to get it colored in, because it hurt so much the first time. Now that I'm pregnant, I find I finally want to get it finished. Ha! So I had my four-year-old do a less painful update.
365 Project: Day Three; an Explore high for me at #4
CHEATING!!! Again...and I hate doing it but I've been moving these past two weeks and had no time/energy to take photos...(hmm that seems to be my excuse alot eh?)
So this photo and week 10 were taken at the same time..I really should have at least changed my shirt between shots so they wouldn't look so similar.
And I have a new goal: this week's shot WILL be on time!!!
The better half wanted to go to the shops so I thought I'd get a lift with her to get 920 somewhere different. The train arrived a few seconds after we did, so I managed to get two pics of it along with a walk.
49 new Covid Delta cases in NZ today and this is the last day of Covid Level 4 lockdown except for Auckland, where all the cases seem to be. Fingers crossed the humbers keep going down.

I entered this cheater fabric design into this week's contest at Spoonflower. If you like my print, please take a moment to follow this link to the contest and vote for me!
The entries appear in random order, but when you find mine (it's called "Cheater Friday by melaniesullivan"), click on it and a green box will appear around it. Then, you must click through all the way to the final screen and click the "cast my vote" button.
A fat quarter contains 56 unqiue prints, each measuring approximately 2.5" square. Perfect for 1" hexagons!
Thank you so much!

I'm cheating a bit by putting this photo in my city album. I was in Marseille with friends for the day to see an exposition. I could only take this one :)
While playing Scrabble online, my cheat sheet that's in a clear plastic sleeve, reflected the images on my TV. The results amazed me, because I expected to see text, but I can't see any. This was color adjusted in Photoshop.
I cheated and built 7144 as if it was Jango Fett's... Sue me.
This is an experiment I am testing with a set that had a predecessor back in the day, it was just a different color scheme. I want to build new Star Wars sets as if they came from the days of 1999 and 2000.

Feels Like I was cheating here... was already doing this shot when the theme was suggested so I stuck the old fairy lights at the back for the bokeh, seems a bit contrived but I like the look!
Don't leave polystyrene cups full of coloured water out overnight though... they leak!!! I must go out now and buy a new A1 card!!!!
Strobist: Sb700 to left camera High in softbox and YN560 to right high and through brolly. flashes triggered with RF603s. White fairies in the background.
This is a bit of a cheat really as this was the same Swan putting on a show for me at the Swords Estuary.
I think I found the perfect model that is not moving/flying away... :)

The way to get to the top of Snowdon for those who don't fancy the walk. As my brother (3peaker) pointed out, I can't say I am a fan of the new modern carriages but needs must i would guess :(

Evening primrose is designed to be pollinated by moths with long tongues. I watched the honey bees trying to get to the nectar in the usual way but obviously without success. They soon learned that they could get the rewards by chewing a hole through the top of the flower into the nectaries. Smart bees!
Ok, this one is cheating. Anyone who's been to Disney's Animal Kingdom knows that the tree of life is far from the last thing you see when exiting the park. So please, grant me a little liberty here with the theme if you don't mind.
I certainly don't give the Tree of Life enough time in front of my lens which is a real shame when you look at just how much detail the tree contains. Even while editing this shot I kept noticing more and more animals hidden within the trunk.
Unfortunately, I don't think I have a 'One Last Look' from Disney's Hollywood studios (for now at least) so this is the final stop of our tour. Please gather up all your personal belongings and exit to the left of this photo. Watch your head and step as you exit, and if you do hit your head - please watch your language :)
Have a great day everyone

About the Shot(figured I'd start adding some shot info here and there).
This was a very tight crop of a the tree. The full shot made the detail hard to see unless viewed large.
I shot some bracketed exposures but the HDR version didn't quite come together. Instead, I used my underexposed shot and pushed the exposure while bringing down the highlights.
Then a bit of a kick to both the vibrance and saturation (once again, possibly too much).
After that, I did my usual 'dual monitor dance' to try and get the contrast right. This is the biggest thorn in my side when editing, as my monitors are a bit out of whack. I tend to try and meet in the middle, but usually one side is either too dark or too light. Alas, until I can get them calibrated, it is what it is.
Feedback, comments & criticisms just make my day :) Even if they are critical, I still appreciate the effort.
A big group of dudes were competing to get across this pit and falling in the ice cold water. all the while towanda was collecting foam pieces. Eventually he quietly piled them together and floated away leaving them speechless.
With poor weather outside, the annual event of making marmalade took place. 10 jars are ready to be labelled in the kitchen! Why 'cheat' marmalade? Because rather than starting from scratch with fresh oranges, we use a can of prepared thick cut Seville oranges, costing just over £3 / $4. All you then need to do is add the requisite amount of sugar and water and make the marmalade like any other jam.
My final photo of my project.
I am so proud I completed this project. I have learned so much and I am certainly grateful that I completed it. I never missed a day and I did not cheat. Very few photos were “throw-aways” and there are several that I am extremely proud of. I even had 5 make it into Explore. When I started I had no idea how hard but rewarding it would be. I rarely settled for just a quick shot. I usually tried to improve on each day. I found myself visiting places I have never been, many in my own “neighborhood”. I also found myself in places I should not have been.
I would like to thank those who have helped me during this past year.
I have to thank my husband for being my editor, my body guard, my cheerleader and the greatest support I could have ever gotten from anyone in this project. He put up with a lot of late nights with me on the computer.
I have to thank all of my friends and family who have directly and indirectly supported and encouraged me during this year. I could not have completed this project without you.
Thank you to the Flickr community and all of my many contacts. Thank you for following me, commenting on my photos and posting such amazing work yourselves. Watching other’s work only pushed me more. It also gave me ideas of “places to go and things to do” when I was at a loss for my next shot. It has been fun bumping into some of you in the field. Such a big world can suddenly become very small.
An amazing fact of this year; I did not lose one piece of equipment. A lot got misplaced but eventually things got found. I started out the year with a new Sony bridge camera to supplement my Nikon D80. By the end of the year I had a new Nikon D 7000 and a new lens, and a powerful new computer with a lot of space and new software. Also, by the end of the year the Sony was in the shop and the Nikon will be going in for cleaning of oil on the sensor.
What have I learned?
•The perfect photo isn’t always the one you set out to take.
•More often than not my first or last photo is the one I chose.
•Many times the best shot is the one behind me. Turn around and look back at where you have just been. That may just turn out to be your perfect shot.
•The days when I really had no desire to continue often times produced a favorite shot.
•I enjoyed this more than I ever thought I would. I now have to find my next project.
Thanks everyone for your support. It has been a great year. I look forward to viewing everyone’s work.
Sue
