Downside Up [30/365] - Today was a good day. I am all caught up at work now! So yeah stress from work is gone. Everything is actually really good right now, except just one little thing... but i'm not about to get into that.
Friends came down from Edmonton for our Ghost Whisperer/UFC Weekend. Tonight was tons of fun and I didn't even need to get drunk, lol. My sister and sister in law were pretty drunk and dancing all over the place, lol. Always great entertainment.
My friend Mat and sister Rosie decided to help me with my next project. I didn't have too much thinking time on this one. Kinda just went with the flow. For those who have been keeping up I'm sure you know that the picture in the frame in the background is my sunset image from my earlier 365.
Well I'm hoping to get up and have some McDonald's Breakfast since I have been craving it for awhile now so I better get to bed. It's 2:30 am right now so we'll see how that goes...
This started out as an image of the ceiling of Downside Abbey, a grand Victorian monastic church south of Bath. It’s a Minor Basilica in the Roman Church. I took it a couple of weeks ago to assuage temporarily my addiction with vaulted ceilngs
For Sliders Sunday today, I doctored it lightly in Topaz Studio, duplicated the result, flipped it and put it by the side of the first copy.
I’ll post a link to the original in the first comment as usual…
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday
Sorry for the lack of presence lately, been a bit that way meself..
It's been overcast gloomy weather for most of the last couple of weeks and totally uninspiring light for running 'round snapping pics.
Still, lots of forgotten ones waiting in the collection from Autumn to be posted.
A fallen Frangipani blossom landed on the leaf below.
No, I didn't put it there..
Haven't got macro tools so I stand back a bit and use zoom, which does compromise stabilisation though.
Hope you all had a good week x
The downside of the Fremont rental cabins is the super bright street light that comes on automatically every night. The Caretakers Cabin rental, where we stayed at, is in the background.

X One of the downsides of photographing plants in my garden is trying to find a different image. I wanted to post a shot of an iris without being repetitive. I could not decide between a full flower or a detail. Opted for the latter as I think it show off the beard of the iris quite well .
The image is SOOC
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY

“Sky, why are you downside up?”
“It’s a clever ploy Bertie. I am trying to think of an answer to a question I have and I thought that if I was downside up, all my cleverness would be sure to be in my head where it needs to be.” Said Sky proudly.
“Wow! Did you think of that on your own Sky?”
“I did Bertie, and now I have to see if it works, so I can answer my questions.”
“Could I help you do you think Sky, only it feels a bit strange talking to fluffy kneecaps?”
“Maybe Bertie, after all you are known for your cleverness. I think I’ll stay like this though just in case you fail…again.”
“What is your question then Sky?”
“The man was talking to that screen picture thing he has and this hooman who he was talking to said they were having “Lunder and Tightening”. I was trying to work out what that is, do you know Bertie?”
“Lunder and Tightening, now let me think Sky. Eeermm, no sorry can’t help you with that one but then knowing hoomans, they probably don’t know themselves.”
Just then Icecap and Posh Bear came along and sat down beside them.
“Hi chaps, can either of you two help poor Sky before all his intelligence goes to his head and comes out of his ears?” Asked Bertie.
“I can’t see there being enough of it to make that happen to Sky.” Giggled Icecap.
“Well anyway, Sky wants to know what Lunder and Tightening is, as he heard the man’s screen hooman say it earlier.”
“What was actually said Sky?” Asked Icecap.
“Well, the man said it was sunny here and the screen hooman said they had Lunder and Tightening. I had a thunk and couldn’t work out what it was Icecap.”
“I think you must have misheard Sky; I think the screen hooman actually said Thunder and Lightning.” Declared Posh Bear.
“Well, I was close, so what is that then Posh?”
“Well, up high in the air Sky, higher than even the fluffiest white ship that floats on by, there lives lots of us bears that are waiting to be able to come down here, and give love and cuddles to a hooman and try to teach them some basics in intelligence. Well, every so often the food for them is late arriving and they have rumbly tummies and because there are so many of them it is very loud and we can hear it down here. Hoomans call that thunder. Now, to alert the food place that they are hungry and have rumbly tummies the bears switch the lights on and off and that causes flashes of light down here. Hoomans call that lightning. It is nothing to worry about Sky for the flashing lights always works and the bears get their food and then the rumbling stops.”
“Gosh! You are so clever Posh, you know everything.” Said Bertie clearly impressed.
“I know.” Said Posh smiling.
“Posh, how come you are so clever and yet don’t stand downside up like me?” Asked Sky.
“I don’t think it is necessary Sky, I should get back on your feet again.”
“Oh, I thought that because of what hoomans call gravy, everything travelled downwards and this was my plan to have all my intelligence where it needs to be.”
“No Sky, you have that wrong, hoomans don’t call it gravy, they call it gritty...I think.” Chipped in Icecap.
“Actually, it is called gravity and you don’t need to worry about that yet Sky. I have a good idea, let us see how much honey we have and break open a jar or two.” Said Posh Bear.
“Sounds like a plan, I’ll just nip to the freezer thingy and get some fish.” Said Icecap before realising that Sky and Bertie were no longer there.
“They never were that big on fish.” Mumbled Icecap shaking his head sadly.
The only downside to uploading pictures to flickr is when you have a near perfect image (referring to clarity, exposure and an overall high quality RAW image produced by the camera) one is forced to degrade the image to some degree by converting a RAW image to a JPG image.
Just saying...............
I think back fondly of this sunny and warm day now that the "bite" of a cold dreary winter is upon us.
One minute you can be bathed in full sunshine rushing to your next photo location then the next minute you can be swamped in low cloud spilling over the top of Whernside. . Such were the events surrounding Ribblehead Viaduct where I had decided to head for to bag a shot of the ECS from Skipton to Appleby Sidings.
Luckily the livery combination lent itself to a moody black and white interpretation of the scene.

The downside of working from home is that you can feel all alone. The upside is that you really are all alone. Nobody knows whether you wear your pyjamas all day - or something else!
Downside of using a prime is being to close and not being able to zoom back to get all the bird in though the quality and improved bokeh i am getting with the 500pf is amazing

Camera info: Hasselblad 503CX w. Zeiss Planar 80mm at f4, Leaf Aptus 54s at ISO 100. Strobist info: Sunpak 622 Super Pro camera left at 1/4, Lumedyne Action Pack camera right at 200Ws.
The Prothonotary Warbler (Protonotaria citrea) is a swamp bird, preferring to breed in low-lying forests and wetlands, often over water. It is quite a streak brilliance in an otherwise gloomy swampland. A blaze of yellow flitting in shadows, as though it were a stolen ray of sunshine.
Once common in southern Canada, it is now considered an endangered species due primarily to habitat loss (it was once thought that fewer than 50 lived in Ontario). In the U.S., its numbers are still strong, but are also in decline. These striking birds--photographed here is a female, whose yellow head coloration is slightly less radiant than her mate's--are named for the Roman Catholic clerks who once wore hooded yellow robes.
Here are the quick lowdown of the new 6d2 hands on real world review where i received numerous request asking the good the bad and the ugly honest remarks .
Had decided to discard the Newly launch Canon 6D2 weeks after some careful use but did find some fancy toward the responsive shutter action and increase frame rate Canon had somewhat technically revolutionise the aged dinosaur mechanism else the rest pretty much remain similar in term of ISO noise and the much intense debate over dynamic range are likely kept identical to my personal preference use.
One real downside is the new version DPP softeware would take ages to snail transfer to photoshop, live view focusing at dim light situation not as consistence responsive over the sound old yet juicy 11 point one solid center cross type -3EV 6D and camera delete button i find annoying allowing finger at instant press due to canon slightly deeper design it made not easily accidentally press for goodness sake where i don't enjoy the hassle to take couple press to delete just one single image. Overall the price had slightly over kill this 5 yrs successors camera in 2017, so call Canon Entry level Full frame gadget where manufacture competition had caught up drastically with cheaper recommended price and added some down to earth features technology for sweetening photographer goodness.
The only real downside to this very interesting photo trip in Spain was that, after almost three weeks on the road, we were just as shot as the churches we visited! Of course, we had planned in advance so as to not have to re-pack and move to a different hotel every single day, but that had not always been possible, and Spain is a large country: even though we only went through a part of it and the accommodations were, most of the time, top-notch (we will always remember our two-night stay at a “pilgrims’ inn” on the Path to Compostela, the wholesome, heartwarming food and the awfully nice people), we had driven around quite a lot, unpacked and re-packed quite a lot, shot a lot as well (and that does require some concentration!), and we were a bit tired.
Therefore, and as a gesture of self-congratulation, I booked us for three nights into the best ocean-view room of the nicest hotel in a small coastal resort in the Pays Basque, about two dozen kilometers from the French border. There, we recovered from the fatigue of the trip, ate local fish, slept late and drove around for the absolute minimum distances required to see the surrounding sights. Knowing me, you know I had to take a few photos, and here they are.
I hope you enjoy this “Goodbye to Spain!” series.
The next morning’s low tide uncovered the slippery walkway built to access the small uninhabited island in front of the town. It was overcast that morning but the ocean breeze soon cleared up all the clouds!
I have been waiting a long time for an image like this. looking at the weather forecast last night I thought that my ducks were lining up, rain overnight followed by a clear sky in the morning. I was up and out early, arriving to find two large wheeled dustbins in the puddle from where I needed to place the camera, luckily for me they were emptied just a few minutes after my arrival, and I was able to move them along the street and clear the area I desired to work in.
Whilst I was busily crouched by my camera trying to get the right angles and settings a couple wondered past me and paused just for a moment to admire the view of York Minster, in that moment I saw a lovely composition and reached for the shutter, there followed an apology from the lady though it was not needed as their actions had made the shot. I would love them to see this by means of a thank you, please feel free to share in hope that they will see themselves.
one more note, this image has been flipped the upper part if the image as now presented being the reflection in the surface of the puddle

From the streets of Hallstatt one morning, I looked up at the looming houses and was rewarded with this site.
I love the architecture of this small town, and the surrounding trees and thick fog really gave the place such an atmosphere. It *almost* made up for the fact that the rest of the day was rained off, and I got very depressed.
Still, I got to play cards with Russell whilst watching the lake outside so, not all bad.
