So here's my Halloween contribution :P I probably won't be around for a while (GW2 Halloween festival is on and it's my favourite event) but i just had to post this right?!! Hope you all have a fucking fantastic Halloween ♥♥
Contribution to MM challenge for 24/8/20, theme "Glass"
Well it's not an original idea but once I'd taken it I kind of fell in love with the imperfections in the glass even though my original plan was to eliminate them! They were lost for some time and I'm still not sure I've recovered them...
Just in case you're wondering it's shot in a puddle of water on a tin foil "bowl" in direct sunlight!

My contribution to Photo Sunday with the theme "the first". The first pieces are laid in this world's smallest puzzle. I need tweezers to lay the pieces. The first real challenge this year, in patience and dexterity.
Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag med temat "den första". De första bitarna är lagda i detta världens minsta pussel. Jag behöver en pincett för att lägga bitarna. Den första verkliga utmaning i år, i tålamod och fingerfärdighet.
San Francisco, California, USA
The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, California—the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula—to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. It also carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and is designated as part of U.S. Bicycle Route 95. Recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Wonders of the Modern World, the bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco and California.
The idea of a fixed link between San Francisco and Marin had gained increasing popularity during the late 19th century, but it was not until the early 20th century that such a link became feasible. Joseph Strauss served as chief engineer for the project, with Leon Moisseiff, Irving Morrow and Charles Ellis making significant contributions to its design. The bridge opened to the public in 1937 and has undergone various retrofits and other improvement projects in the decades since.
The Golden Gate Bridge is described in Frommer's travel guide as "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world." At the time of its opening in 1937, it was both the longest and the tallest suspension bridge in the world, titles it held until 1964 and 1998 respectively. Its main span is 4,200 feet (1,280 m) and its total height is 746 feet (227 m).

contribution to Macro Mondays group for 26/06/17 the theme being "Broken"
I'm away for a few days so may not see many contributions so HMM to one and all!!
I found this challenge hard, not because I couldn't think what to do but because the choice was too big and I think I've ended up being a bit cliche.
The name designation in the map function of Flickr is often wrong, as in this contribution. Ooijen is on the west side of the Meuse River; De Hamert on the east.
The National Park 'De Hamert' is a great place to walk in any season, even in dreary, gray winter. This area was already settled in the bronze and early iron ages; it has only been partially excavated for archaeology in order to leave finds for later generations.
The heath is grazed by Kempen Heath Sheep whose forebears - as uncovered sheep bones attest - lived here as early as the bronze age.
Macro Mondays contribution for 24 October 2016:
Swarowski Crystal Pig. The title means something in that "he" managed to get from his home and under my feet - quite a drop! As I needed to capture a back lit subject he became the obvious choice!
Lighting is all natural which meant I didn't have much time to get a half decent shot. Now I get an idea of what landscape photographers have to deal with.
This is my contribution to Macro Mondays Look Up
And when I look up I of course lay down first
It's a pretty cool 'challenge' because you get to see it all in a different perspective than you normally do
Which is the story of my life lol
I think you can change things by doing just that
It is easier to observe things when you use a different perspective, putting on your objective glasses and look at what you are doing with your life, no judging
So
There I lay all down on the tiny spot where there is no snow, all by the house
Look UP
says Macro Mondays
And there they are
Small angel wings waving in the wind - making it a bit difficult to take a macro of course
I believe in many things, I love light and what that stands for and I know there are angels on earth
By having this belief I look for signs
If I had beliefs which was on the opposite side, the dark side, I would have looked for signs for my belief then too
That is why it can be difficult to get out of a pattern, we are being reassured that things are the way we think, like they are in our belief, because we have it around us in our sphere, social media, which groups do we follow, what news we want to be fed by.
Not to mention the people we are surrounded by - well we choose them for a certain reason, they match us somehow, until they don't.
I guess we feel safe having this common belief, either it has a light side or a dark side.
Fear is, I think, a foundation deep in us from the ancient days when we were hunting or being hunted at
Fear of
Not having enough food
Not having sufficient clothings
Not having roof over your head
Not having a job
Not having enough money
Not being cool enough
Not being good enough
Not having the body you see in the ads
Not having the hair you want
Not being socially accepted
Not doing your job good enough
Not being the best friend
Not being the best parent ever
aso
The ones that control us by using our fears knows exactly what they are doing
Of course they do, they see it work every time
Be aware of the manipulative people you have around you and stop them by withdrawing, no need to take a fight with them, they will never understand
Being aware of what sides of you they manipulate will indeed make you grow, then you can do something about that, you have a choice to get out of the pattern
Choose your people
They influence you more then you can imagine
Have a lovely week
I know my week will be awesome, of course it will, because I want it to
My First-Ever contribution to Fence Friday!
So ... HFF!

My contribution to “Looking Close… on Friday!” on theme “Red on white background”
This mini chair is only about 12 cm high and a mini model from Edsbyverken in Hälsingland, Sweden which produced this type of chair in a large size for people to sit on. In 1910, Edsbyverken began manufacturing skis and from the waste wood they made about 5 million chairs until 1970 when production ceased.

Den här ministolen är bara ca 12 cm hög och en minimodell från Edsbyverken i Hälsingland som producerat den här sortens stolar i stor storlek för människor att sitta på. 1910 började Edsbyverken tillverka skidor och av spillvirket tillverkade de ca 5 miljoner pinnstolar fram till 1970 då tillverkningen lades ner.

contribution to MM challenge for 26/10/20, theme: one colo(u)r
was tempted to replicate the recent "yellow" theme! I missed the last time one colour was the theme (I think) but did put an image up that met the criteria, perhaps the following week (Feb 2018 ish). I've also taken the opportunity to catch up with the recent "string" theme so it's 2-4-1 today only.
Timepieces for Smile on Saturday - changed my mind seeing all the other contributions and remembered this massive old 90's style steampunk wristwatch that weighs a ton, not sure I ever even wore it. Think I bought it on some weekend trip to Switserland. Those were the times when one had to keep up with calenders and where you had to set the day and date by yourself - imagine the brain activity that was necessary back then! And then all these arrows pointing to I don't know where and still not sure if the date has to be shown in the frame or to the left where it is at least aligned. So one had to make many many decisions back then, that took up time...
30 years later I had to use a loupe to even figure out what it was saying on the cogs. LOL
My final contribution to Flickr this year is an abstract image of a bridge between two buildings. One can also see it as a transition between 2 years. In reality, it is the by Daniel Liebeskind designed Kö Bogen buildings in Düsseldorf.
I wish you all a great and inspiring 2026!

contribution to Macro Mondays theme for 5/6/17 - "silhouette"
This isn't truly a backlit silhouette. Basically it's a VERY underexposed plant with a made up background shot in camera using flashes and foil. There, my secret's out.
Note that despite appearances this isn't a flower, it's some kind of succulent that lives in our bathroom. The shoot is new growth and the entirety of what is shown here measures about an inch!
More flash info: 2x Nikon SB-R200 units, one with green and one with amber gel. set behind subject firing onto foil covered board. both set to manual and 1/50 controlled by camera built in commander. rear curtain sync.

#DutchAngle
Please press "Z" :)
A very unusual (for me) MM contribution in quite a few ways, because it is a photo that I have neither taken at home nor specifically for the "dutch angle" theme – this fluffy feather was a chance discovery at last Wednesday's (fabuloutastic, I should add) photowalk at the Olympic stadium; I didn't even think about the theme when I found this pretty feather in a corner of a step of one of the many, many staircases there. And of course this isn't the photo from that walk that I'd planned to upload first, either ;-). But often things don't turn out as expected (something which happens a lot lately when it comes to MMs), and that's not always a bad thing.
This small feather, about 6 cm / 2,3 inches long, came to my rescue when my original idea didn't work out – which every way I tried to make it work (it was a small spoke reflector which I'd once found in the street; the idea was to capture its distorted reflection which made it look like a flowing piece of honeycomb, something that came to my mind because of the reflector's honeycombed structure; well, to make it short, I never managed to get the distorted reflection sharp enough so it would be pleasant to look at; maybe I can still make it work later... I also tried to magnify those honecomb patterns inside of the reflector by using the extension tubes and the Raynox DCR-250 close-up lens – but, no, it wasn't meant to work).
But back to my "Olympic feather": Most conveniently, I had already taken it at a dutch angle (Mr Freud, can you hear me?). It is a single handheld picture taken with the Ricoh (the GRIII rocks!) which I've sharpened in Topaz Sharpen AI, and then further processed it in Nik's HDR Efex Pro – I started with the "En Vogue" preset "Cool Deep" which I'd then still tweaked a little here or there. And because the staircase I'd found this feather on had been in a shadowy corner of the stadium (and the feather in an even more shadowy corner of the step), the DNG outcome was rather dull; to add some much needed light I went into ON1 where I added a "Sunflare" texture filter to the upper left corner of the image; back in LR I added the preset "Soft Fog" and tweaked the luminosity and saturation sliders for a dreamy look.
HMM, Everyone, stay safe and healthy!
Nicht das, was ich eigentlich für's Thema machen wollte, aber das passiert mir in letzter Zeit häufiger ;-) Meine ursprüngliche Idee war es, die verzerrte Spiegelung eines kleinen Speichenreflektors (ein Straßenfund) auf einer Spiegelfliese zu fotografieren; die Verzerrung ließ den Reflektor wie ein fließendes Stück Honigwabe aussehen, was auch schön mit der wabenartigen Struktur des Reflektors korrespondierte – nur wollte es mir partout nicht gelingen, der Verzerrung zumindest ein wenig Schärfe abzuringen. Ich habe dann versucht, die Wabenstruktur im Innern des Reflektors mithilfe der Zwischenringe und der Raynox-DCR-250-Makrolinse zu vergrößern, aber auch hier hatten die Endergebnisse zu wenig Schärfe.
Irgendwann, es war schon ziemlich später Abend (wie immer), gab ich frustriert auf. Zum Glück fiel mir dann die flauschige Feder ein, die ich letzte Woche zufällig auf einer der unzähligen Stufen des Olympiastadions entdeckt und aus der Hand mit der GRIII fotografiert hatte. Die Größe (gut 6 cm) passte, den Winkel hatte ich bei der Aufnahme (unbewusst? Freud lässt grüßen, denn vor Ort hatte ich überhaupt nicht an das Dutch-Angle-Thema gedacht) auch schon passend schräg gewählt... Warum also nicht, auch wenn diese Feder nicht das Foto ist, das ich als Erstes vom (außerordentlich schönen) Fotowalk dort hochladen wollte. Ich habe das Bild dann in Topaz Sharpen AI nachgeschärft (Modus "Stabilize") und in HDR Efex ausgehend von der Voreinstellung "En Vogue: Cool Deep" bearbeitet. Was dann noch fehlte, war etwas mehr Licht bzw. Leuchten, denn die Feder hatte auf einer der Treppen auf der Schattenseite des Olympiastadions gelegen und das DNG war recht flau und trüb. Also habe ich in ON1 noch eine "Sunflare"-Textur drübergelegt und in LR die Weißtöne aufgehellt und als Abschluss noch die Voreinstellung "Weicher Nebel" (mit zusätzlichen Veränderungen meinerseits bei der Struktur, Luminanz und Sättigung) für ein weicheres, verträumtes Aussehen verwendet.
Manchmal kommt es eben anders, als man denkt, aber das muss ja nichts Schlechtes sein ;-) Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, passt weiterhin gut auf Euch auf!
This is a small carved soapstone box (about 4in/10cm long) that my husband brought back many years ago from the then Soviet Union. He knew I really liked owls.
Today, many of you will be watching the Super Bowl. I'm not a much of a football fan, so a few years ago when people started talking about "superb owl day" I loved it. Apparently a lot of people made typos when searching for "super bowl" and instead got results for "superb owl." How great is that! Anyway, although I can more or less hold my own in a discussion about American football - due to a number of fans in my family - I'd much rather think about owls than football, so here is my contribution for today. Stay safe and well everyone and have a good week!

MM contribution 18/3/19, theme something to do with the first letter of my surname!!
Well this does indeed begin with the first letter of my surname. It then goes on to use the second, third and fourth letters of my surname in order. Then it stops.
Some flash usage here again but not interesting as it was all trial and error!!
contribution to MM challenge for 19/2/18: Fasteners.
I'd never photographed a zipper but had seen many pictures of them that really impressed me so I set out to have a go. This is the result! I became more obsessed with the button then with encapsulating 2 fasteners in the same image.
It was really hard to keep still while I took this.
My (belated) contribution to the Bluebell season. Like most photographers I would have loved that epic morning shot of a forest glade with mist and morning light falling across a carpet of Bluebells. I didn't get it so I decided to while away an hour playing with bokeh. The spider was just an added bonus.

On May 12 it's ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day.
May 12 was chosen as it coincided with the birth date of Florence Nightingale, Nightingale suffered a M.E.-like illness that often left her bedridden during the last 50 years of her life.
To support anyone suffering from this or any other illness or condition is this week's theme "Blue for you - me".
This is my contribution taken on May 12th, also my father's birthday. Have a good day in heaven dad!
Thanks for your views, faves and comments. Wish you all the best with 💙 love 💙 and HSoS, Angeline.
This is Jenny's contribution from the beautiful sky on the morning we left Coonabarabran, New South Wales for the coast. It was a fabulous sunrise, taken on her phone but as per the old saying, it did herald a change in weather as a cold wet front swept in from the west. I didn't take a shot here but stopped down the road a bit for an attempted slightly different view. We were in the middle of nowhere of course and the spot I pulled over in had a bikie (motor bike rider) sleeping beside his bike in the roadside grass (not happy Jan), the colour dropped out of the scene in less than the ninety seconds we took to reposition - of course and lastly, my shot managed to have a set of powerlines through the most colourful part. Portent indeed, the trash bin for that shot.
Thankfully, although this was our longest drive of the trip, some 500 kilometres it was mostly on quiet country highways and some easy freeways leading towards Newcastle and the Central Coast. And one other blessing, we rarely leave quite this early to avoid kangaroos and the like but we saw none that day and little roadkill and in fact, while we have seen two mobs of emus, luckily so far, no incursions nor sightings of live kangaroos. Our wide brown land without a sighting of a kangaroo! Sometimes it happens that way.
By the way, if you look closely at this country scene, it is why we love our driving holidays in Australia, there is nothing quite like the sight, sound and smell of early mornings on country roads in our great country. I haven't really started my shots from the trip yet and will probably wait until we get home. It will give me something to do and keep me out of mischief!
contribution to MM challenge for 14/10/19, theme: "wire"
strangely difficult to find a piece of electrical wire without buying a a whole reel from B&Q!
wasn't my first choice and seeing some of today's contributions it shows how narrow minded I was about this challenge, and what I could have done...
Just one note about this image - the background is part of the image and was created in camera, rather than in post prod.
