My contribution to Macro Mondays' challenge, "wire", on 14 October 2019.

Contribution to Macro Mondays group theme "Just White Paper"

 

single sheet of A4 paper slightly twisted (my best attempt at origami) and lit using some little lights a also resting on a light source. WB set manually (can't remember details already - see EXIF if it's in there but probably set at around 2700K)

Washed out highlights, create negative space, define positive space that balances the composition.

 

My contribution for this week's theme «negative space»; for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.

 

Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag och veckans tema «negativ yta».

This is my contribution to the "Autumn/Fall" weekly theme in "Crazy Tuesday" group.

 

Trees are still quite green here where I live (unlike a year ago on a trip: www.flickr.com/photos/z-zoli/albums/72157711464010651), so I decided to shoot a still life with some seasonal fruits and vegetable.

Special thanks to my daughter and her boyfriend for the composition.

 

Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy it! :-)

My contribution to the awesome shots already posted (jeeze, some of you are FAST) of last night's storm. Our little guy reminded me of a prairie dog, running in the house to get the family out and check out the cool clouds (he had the scientific names rolling off his tounge, though).

 

We're headed to Wisconsin for some camping -- see you all on Monday!

please accept hereby a humble contribution for

This is my concession to Autumn. Brisbane doesn't really have a lot of trees that are deciduous in winter, so I have created this contribution inspired by a hanging street sculpture and Autumn itself of course.

 

Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate your comments. :)

This is my contribution of this week Macro Mondays theme submitted by Janet Towbin a "Spoonful of..." There are loads of daisies out at this time of the year in our horse paddock on on our lawns so i picked a few and this is what I came up with 'a spoonful of daisies" HMM

My contribution to Thursday Monochrome this week.

Lens: Mamiya Sekor 80mm 2.8

Film: Kodak 100TX

Please forgive me for my youthful contribution to the climate crisis. Then a college student, I took this Kodachrome slide during summertime employment in August 1965 as a pipeline welder helper. I was working on J. Ray McDermott Derrick Barge 5 (DB5), a 300-feet-long (91,4 meters), built-in-1949 behemoth with a crane that could hoist 500 tons (453.6 metric tons) and below-deck living quarters for 180 workers.

 

We were laying pipeline between Gulf of Mexico oilfield platforms that were 30-40 miles offshore, south of Morgan City, Louisiana, USA. Angling diagonally across this scene is a structure that gradually eases the recently added section of pipeline to the sea bottom. Projecting out into the water like a gently drooping scorpion tail, it was called a "stinger."

Please note near the tugboat two workers standing on the stinger's parallel pontoons.

And, on the catwalk between structures, four off-duty workers taking in the sunset.

My contribution to hats for Haiti. Had a hard time with the focus and timer. It's Friday and what I need is a beer so this is about as good as it's gonna get tonight. Cheers!

 

Every photo of you or a friend wearing a hat will help towards a donation to Haiti [3 max].

 

It's that simple. New photos only. More information here.

 

Thanks and hats off to Tony for doing this!

 

This is now closed .. £690 ($1,100) for Haiti raised from those who pledged!!! Some of the photos from the group will be appear in a book to raise more funds for Haiti. If you participated, see group's discussion for more information.

Over the years I've felt that my tools require beauty also as part of my inspiration.

Mitt bidrag till veckans Fotosöndag med tema /My contribution to this week on Photosunday on the theme /Roligt stiĺleben /Funny still life

This was my contribution to a great day in Notts today. Bit pissed off by the fact i got 5 tins of purple for the fill and the last 1 was a darker shade to rest, so my cut backs on my highlights look like dog shit! oh well. respect to all who attended. Painted along side MONO who killed it with this charactor. Joiner to follow soon. Big up to DEMS 333 who came over from spain just for today. big up to MTN for the free paint too.

This is my contribution to the fabulous Smile on Saturday Group. The theme is: “get nature in your home! “.

 

Please don’t judge me!!!! I have only 2 living plants in my home. One is a small cactus, and honestly, I think it is dead… and it died a long time ago…. Very harsh and long “dry” season (which is approximately 12 months in my home, from January to December;-)) might have killed it … I’m sad because it was a gift but for my defense, I must say that this Cactus never liked me!! Since day one, Mr. Cactus was giving me the stinky eye!! I swear….

 

The other plant living with us, was given to my youngest son by my lovely sister. It is a crassula, I know it because my sister left a description of it with all the instruction on how to water it, etc.… Luckily, she gave the instructions to my youngest son and that is why Mrs. Crassula is still alive today! He is really taking care of that plant! And I wonder where does it come from? My husband is as bad as I with plants…. Chances are his green thumb comes from my sister.

 

And since today is purple or pink at Color My World Daily. This is also my contribution to this awesome group.

 

Happy SOS and CMWD to all participants!! And for the others: have an awesome day!

 

Thank you so much for your support!!! I truly appreciate your positive energy!! I wish you a very happy and awesome day!!!

Gentile da Fabriano (Gentile di Niccolò di Giovanni di Massio - Fabriano, 1370 circa - Rome, September 1427) - Rhea Silvia (the mythical mother of the twins Romulus and Remus) condemned to death by burial from alive (1411-12) Loggia of Romolus and Remo - Palazzo Trinci, Spoleto (Perugia)

 

Il ciclo è frammentario e oggi si dispone su due pareti della loggia affacciata sul cortiletto della scala gotica (un tempo a cielo aperto). In ampie porzioni la superficie pittorica è perduta, ma si è spesso conservato il disegno sottostante della sinopia, di alta qualità.

 

The cycle is fragmentary and today is arranged on two walls of the loggia overlooking the courtyard of the Gothic staircase (once open-air). In large portions the pictorial surface is lost, but the underlying design of the sinopia, of high quality, has often been preserved.

 

Gentile da Fabriano è uno dei più grandi maestri della storia dell'arte, nonché protagonista indiscusso del gotico internazionale. Grande interprete del gusto del suo tempo, il suo apporto all'arte fu fondamentale anche per diversi artisti che si ispirarono a lui, anche quando le novità rinascimentali si facevano già sentire: artisti come il Beato Angelico e Paolo Uccello furono affascinati dai suoi lavori.

 

Gentile da Fabriano is one of the greatest masters of art history, as well as the undisputed protagonist of international Gothic. A great interpreter of the taste of his time, his contribution to art was also fundamental for several artists who were inspired by him, even when Renaissance novelties were already being felt: artists like Beato Angelico and Paolo Uccello were fascinated by his works.

this is my contribution for the May 2019 12.12 Project, the instant photography collective of which I am a member. Our theme is fragility.

 

"Real beauty is in the fragility of your petals. A rose that never wilts isn't a rose at all.”

Technical information: 1949 Speed Graphic with expired Polaroid type 55 film. Scanned negative (scanned in color).

 

"La vraie beauté se trouve dans la fragilité de tes pétales. Une rose qui ne fane jamais n'est pas du tout une rose."

My contribution for this week's theme "chiaroscuro", for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.

 

Klöver betraktas av många trädgårdsgillare som ogräs. Lite tarvligt kan jag tycka. Bara namnet i sig är ju trevligt: pengar liksom. Och tar man sig ner på samma nivå som dem och kravlar sig riktigt nära, ser man hur vackra de är. Så fulla av liv och färg, ja, i alla fall de som är lila. Att just den här hade den goda smaken att delvis stå i skuggan av en maffig björk, gjorde valet till veckans temabild rätt enkelt.

Quick and fun contribution to Frogust.

I’m still learning to use my crystal ball to take pictures but sometimes I’m convinced that it would be easier to use it to predict the future ;-)! Maybe I’m the next Nostradamus???

Happy LCoF to all participants!!

...this is my contribution to the last (T-T) Seasons Hunt .... and a big gigantic thank you to Hallie for patiently organizing these wonderful hunts!

The house is smallish but still big enough to be fun to decorate - it has 2 doors - one in the back too because i don't like feeling trapped in a house! lol! I have included some pieces with matching textures that could be used in a garden, including a little 6 prim patio with a short wall. I didn't want to attach it so that it could be placed where you want it - or not used at all to save prims. I hope you enjoy it! have fun! :))

 

My contribution to the plethora of images being posted from today's total solar eclipse. The sky cooperated nicely in Greenville, SC.

My contribution to the NAPG monthly theme, "Transportation".

 

The ordinary, high wheel or penny-farthing was the first true bicycle with which actual speed and distance could be achieved in a practical manner. Larger and larger wheels, up to 1.5m (60") in diameter, were built to enable higher speeds The classically oversized penny-farthing wheel refers to the British penny and farthing coins of the time; the former being much larger than the latter so that the side view of the bicycle resembled two such coins placed next to one another.

Based on the original French Boneshaker, James Starley and others produced bicycles with front wheel of ever increasing size, starting about 1870. In 1878 Albert Pope began manufacturing the Columbia bicycle just outside of Boston, thus starting their nearly two decade-long heyday in America. Although the trend was relatively short-lived, the penny-farthing bicycle has since become a prominent historical symbol of the late Victorian era. Its brief popularity also coincided with the birth of cycling as a sport. [from Wikipedia]

My contribution to Argus Day 2025, 25 Argust 2025.

 

This is the sixth time I participated in Argus Day. As last year, no double exposures, no blank shots, no ripped film, no out-of-focus shots. Still, I don't think that the Argus will become my favourite camera any time soon. Though I must say that the Cintar lens always provides nice contrasts.

My contribution to the Macro Mondays challenge, "Junk", on 23 September 2019. It's a very old tin brooch containing a posy of wildflowers. It was given to my mother, or possibly my grandmother, when she was a child. Definitely junk, albeit of the sentimental kind.

Hello amazing Flickr people!

This is my contribution to 2 awesome Flickr Groups:

*ღღ* Cosas de casa *ღღ and the theme for today is “bottle” and Color my World Daily with the color Yellow for today. So happy yellow bottle day to everyone!!!

 

Every summer, since almost 10 years, we spend 2 weeks in Cuba. We absolutely love it and it is truly a family tradition. We go with my parents, my sister and my children, husband and me.

 

Each year we throw a message in a bottle into the ocean… (yes, I know this is pollution, but it has such a symbolic meaning to us, and I always take the smallest bottle possible and made of glass...please don’t judge me !!!!).

 

My sons are writing the message to the world hoping someone will answer… My Dad tests different bottles to see which one will float the best and further… and since we usually go to the same hotel, employees are aware of our strange occupation and they participate actively (by keeping the empty bottles for my Dad to test or provide some beautiful paper to write the message, etc.).

 

The message and the bottle keep us very occupied! At the end of our stay we go on the catamaran tour and throw a bottle further away from the coast…

 

And then the waiting begins… and the speculation… The bottle has no boundaries…. It can go soooooo far…

 

Of course my Dad wants it to go to New Zealand (maybe my friend Ian (www.flickr.com/photos/nzpix) will find it one day !!)…

 

My Mom thinks it will float to Vancouver (France (www.flickr.com/photos/abeillerose) maybe you will find it ??). My youngest wants someone from Africa to find a message, and my other son thinks it will float forever.

 

My husband thinks another tourist from Montreal will find the bottle…. Let me tell you: this messages in the bottles are a constant subject of conversations at our house until the next summer!

 

Well, to this day, after 8 bottles thrown in the sea, we got one answer! And it was a surprise. Our message was on the plane with us, on our way back home. Another family from Canada found the bottle and they knew who the author of the message was… so they decided to wait 6 months before writing a letter to my sons (just to make a bigger surprise)! No need to say that my boys were super thrilled, and everyone was surprised! We stayed in touch with our new friends and we had a good laugh about the whole story. And my husband was right (for once ;-)) another tourist found the message. But no one predicted that the message will be coming back with us on the same plane! That is the beauty of the message in the bottle: you can never predict where it will go...

 

This time, just to make sure everything is in order, I’m sending Yellow Lady with the message. She can survive, don’t you worry… she has food, wine and an oxygen tank in her purse! and also a compass (of course) and some old fashion maps (since I’m a cartographer, maps always have a sentimental value for me...).

 

Bon voyage Yellow Lady!!! Be safe wherever you go!!

 

Thank you so much for your comments /favs and support! I’m humbled and grateful!!! I wish you all an amazing day and see you soon on Flickr (how about tomorrow ??)!!

Hello amazing Flickr people!

This is my contribution to 2 awesome Flickr Groups:

*ღღ* Cosas de casa *ღღ and the theme for today is “box” and Color my World Daily with the color Yellow for today. So happy yellow box day to everyone!!!

 

Once again, I had a vision of a perfect picture in my mind… A beautiful tiny yellow box with something awesome in it…But what could possibly be in a tiny yellow box??? Well what is better to put in yellow box than an egg, I am asking you? Nothing! An egg in a yellow box: perfect picture idea… in my head…

So, let’s see if I have all the ingredients …Egg: checked! I have eggs, since my diet is almost exclusively made of eggs (and lots of chocolate and gin… and coffee).

 

So, tiny yellow box… that is the problem. Luckily, I found a tutorial: very easy origami box. It was made by a very young and charming instructor (maybe 7 years old…ok maybe 10). After watching it for several hours (yes, I know it is VERY easy and the tutorial lasts only 3minutes and 52 seconds) and destroying at least 15 yellow sheets of construction paper, I made it!

 

Yes, this marvelous tiny yellow box was made by me!! M! E!!! Magda627 made this box all by herself!! She could not have any help, since her children were at school, her husband and almost all the neighbors were at work!!

 

Yes, my friends I’m truly proud of that box. It isn’t perfect and a little bit too small for the egg, but I love it! Next step, I want to make my tiny props all by myself!! I know it will take forever and I will probably lose all my motivation after 2 hours and 5 steps ( i get distracted very, very easily)… but let me have this dream for now!

 

And since we all love Red Lady, of course she is the one standing on the very top of the egg, coming out of the tiny yellow box (why not?).

 

So, who else is into origami?

 

Thank you so much for your comments /favs and support! I’m humbled and grateful!!! I wish you all an amazing day and see you soon on Flickr (how about tomorrow ??)!!
