Anyone paying close attention will notice that I missed a 365 yesterday. My bad! I was stressed out all day, and then once the stress ended, I was pleasantly otherwise distracted. Three minutes after midnight, I realized I hadn't taken a photo. Oh well.
I’m embarrassed to admit how many times I started editing this photo, scrapped it and started over. In fact, I think I lost count somewhere after the 10th time. I thought about giving up yet again this time but finally was able to get it over the hump and to a point I felt it good enough to share. Enjoy.
I'd like to think this driver was embarrassed rather than laughing about the situation.
The Amboseli National Park was the only one of three parks we visited where the public are able to take in their own (or perhaps hire cars). In this case the lady had tried to get up a steep hill out of sight to the left of this view and failed. She then proceeded to reverse back downhill and tried a three point turn without realising that there was a hump at the side of the road. Once over it she snagged amongst other things her exhaust and became stuck. Despite the best efforts of many this car was still there an hour and a half later.
I'm sure that a she will have a hefty repair/insurance bill.
Updated comment: Colour me embarrassed .... this post of a Loon was not a photograph but a creation by an artificial intelligence. I instructed the 'Bing AI' app on my phone to construct a picture of "a Loon on a lake" and that image is what I got back. I titled it and tagged it in a manner that would expose it for what it was and I placed it in the albums 'Abstract' &'Just Because' and I even included a link to a song titled "Won't Get Fooled Again." I thought it would be obvious to viewers it wasn't my photograph. The joke was on me though because as best as I can tell no one picked up on any of my 'clues' and every one thought it was one of my 'real' Loon photos. I have no real interest in generating AI images but I can see many others including some of my long-time contacts on Flickr are using AI extensively so I thought I would 'give it a try' to see what the fuss was about. My small experiment tells me that photography is undergoing a marked transformation, a sea-change of sorts and our artful pursuit is not what it once was although I have no great insight into what it will become.

The Judges Chair, once again I'm almost embarrassed to say that I never knew where this was until today and yet I have been sat in the Car with it right behind me on more than one occasion...DOH!
So this days little jaunt was to Laughter Tor and to find/take in the Chair along the way, the Chair or Pounds-keepers shelter is concealed behind and within the wall of Dunnabridge Pound which is listed as a Medieval Stock Enclosure used to hold Animals that were Illegally pastured within the Forest of Dartmoor, these Animals would be gathered at the annual Drift (round up) and held here, if not claimed they would be sold shortly after at the Princetown Fair or taken to Lydford.

Embarrassing
Today was embarrassing on a number of fronts
First and foremost, I ended up with an embarrassment of riches with pictures
Yup, Im the MAN!!
I really had a good day shooting
Only it could have been soooo much better
When i switched lenses from the Lensbaby to my 17-50 to shoot my strangers (see next) I forgot that I was set up for tripod (2 second delay, no Shake Reduction)
I realized it the second I clicked and I am sure I looked like a goof
I fixed that and looked at the picture and it was washed out
My Lensbaby needs +2 EV and I had forgotten to change it
More foolishness
Finally I got the the shot
I changed back to Lensababy and did some hand shooting....and forgot to pump up the exposure so my first 2 were too dark
ok, fixed that and then got a TON of great Lensbaby pics, like this one
Switched to my Tamron 28-105 to get some "normal" shots of the great waves
first I decided to do a panorama
you can probably guess what I forgot
50 pictures later I decided to look at one and it was completely washed out
ARGH!!!!
I got some good waves after that but not as good as the ones I overexposed
Finally I got picture of my last two strangers and I was so nervous I shot them with TERRIBLE harsh light
Between Lightroom and Photoshop I managed to get the pictures passable
So a day of ups and downs
But I LOVE this picture
It was embarrassing when I got caught taking this candid shot. All my possessions, including my camera got confiscated by his people .. or skink .. whatever .... grrrr!!! You may not see any new photograph for a little while, but I am already talking to a Lawyer. He said, if he can't talk him out of it, he will eat him (he's a Bull Frog) .. Oh my SLR :(
I approached the litter bin as it pressed itself against the wall cowering , not knowing it fate. "Please please" it shouted, "I cant take it anymore, no more McDonalds " it pleaded.
I placed a sweet wrapper in it and left silently ...
Five Embarrassing Songs on my iPod:
1. Addicted by Simple Plan - This song was popular when I was like, seventeen, and it just reminds me of simpler times.
2. Rearranged by Limp Bizkit - Ok, this one = really embarrassing. I am, by no means, a Limp Bizkit fan and hesitated before admitting I have one of their songs on my iPod, but this song resonates with me.
3. Crawling by Linkin Park - Same deal, basically. I'm not a fan of the band but I like the song.
4. Stay by Lisa Loeb - Hahaha. I have no defense. This song reminds me of my 90s childhood. For quite a while, every morning when I woke up for school, this video would be playing on MTV without fail.
5. Beautiful Life & All That She Wants by Ace of Base - Same. My sister used to be obsessed with Ace of Base when she was little, and these are kind of feel-good songs. ...I probably have "I Saw The Sign" on here too. =X
I’m embarrassed that I’ve lived in NC for almost 28 years and never knew that the eastern part of the state is on the Atlantic Flyway and is thus a winter destination for many migrating birds. The snow geese come from their breeding grounds on the Arctic Tundra to enjoy the milder NC winters. It was an absolute gift to watch this large flock’s activity at Pocosin Wildlife Reguge.
But not about this shot. Krystal was a gem to work with, and I got a kick out the visual poetry/art we created.
Please see large. Thank you.

p.s. Flickr recommends the images in my group the Little Select Gallery of Eclectic Visual Poetry. Please see why.
It's actually quite embarrassing for me to admit this. I've now been living on this farm here in Gouna for 10 months, and yesterday was the first time that I noticed this composition... less than 300 metres from my front door!?
Of course I've explored this garden many times before, but this particular view has always been obstructed by lots of tall vegetation in the foreground. The sky was looking quite impressive yesterday afternoon, so I decided to explore this part of the garden with my camera once more. When I reached this corner of the (fenced-off) garden I noticed a gate. And lo and behold... just outside the gate I noticed a small elevated ledge right at the edge of the cliff... with no troublesome plants blocking my foreground.
There were lots of dark clouds (as you can see), so most of the time the sun was hidden behind a cloud and the foreground was completely dark. I knew exactly what I wanted from the light... but would it provide what I was after? Weather-photography can be so hit-and-miss! As you can see in this photo... mother Nature did provide me with exactly what I was looking for... at exactly the right moment! Lucky me?
P.S. This is not a sun-star photo... these are light-rays. ;)
I was actually embarrassed to be seen with my camera this day after seeing a group of 5-6 birders/photographers far ahead of me walking about 20 feet apart herding these birds down the beach. It seemed that whenever the Bluebirds landed the photographers started to circle around them and the birds were pushed further along the beach. We all make the mistake of getting to close and flushing the birds at times but this was ongoing, apparently the photos were more important than the birds having a chance to feed. I turned away from the beach and went in search of other birds. Later in the day I returned to the beach. Upon seeing the bluebirds again I got a bit closer then planted myself down in the sand; I was rewarded when (see next photos) this bird landed only about 10 feet in front of me.
Happened to us all ;)
From the Inspire Hyde Park meet up, organised by Lara Jade and Felix Kunze. Was a good day! Hopefully there will be more, so if you didn't get to go this time, go next time!! Everyone was so amazingly lovely and the portfolios around were incredible!
Props to Laura on this one.
So. Because I'm insanely lazy, this is my selfie for today.
Fact: I get REAL antsy when people are taking pictures of me.
Song: Steward of Gondor. (Sometimes I'm a real dork and make LOTR references when I'm supposed to be taking pictures).
Kind of embarrassed but, I'm trying to make film-look-like photos. Can you tell me what you think, please? (:
And even though this is not about my photos or anything about me, but please consider about it. Thank you.
I am a little embarrassed by this photo, but I'm going to post it anyway...because many of you have asked me for a family pic.
There are too many of them. That is embarrassing. What's worse: I forgot to include two who were left sitting upstairs...my tanned 20 cm Miel boy and Lea girl - a brother and sister who are just so neglected, poor souls. Also, I have more of them on the way. Good grief.
I am also embarrassed because this is a lousy photo. I hate taking family pics. It's a lot of dolls to dress. Then to get all of these little ones to stand still is infuriating. I ran out of time (I had to be somewhere)...and patience. So, this is the best I could do.
I have annotated the photo so you know who everyone is. For those dolls who don't have names yet, don't worry...they will tell me their names in their own good time.
I have also added notes for my own purpose...to keep some of this info in a handy place. Some of the notes are missing information...especially release dates (the day the doll went on sale). If you know this info, PLEASE share. My memory ain't what it used to be.
Take a photograph that will embarrass you and make your audience uncomfortable – Erik Kessels
I feel highly uncomfortable submitting this - put the camera on an ironing board and put the timer on. I've never been particularly confident about the way I look and being pretty scrawny most of my youth, used to keep my clothes on, even at the beach. Even as I submit this I think "big mistake"...but it totally embarrasses me and I'd be surprised if it doesn't make you a bit uncomfortble, once you're done laughing at my absurdity.
Why Are People Embarrassed By Flatulence?
Flatulence, or passing gas, is a natural bodily function that occurs when the digestive system breaks down food and produces gas as a byproduct. Despite being a natural process, many people feel embarrassed or ashamed when they pass gas in public or around others.
One reason people might feel embarrassed by flatulence is due to social norms and expectations around bodily functions. In many cultures, passing gas is considered impolite and rude, and people may view it as a sign of poor manners or lack of self-control. Additionally, flatulence can be associated with unpleasant smells, which can further add to feelings of embarrassment and discomfort.
Another reason people may feel embarrassed by flatulence is due to personal beliefs or insecurities. Some people may feel ashamed of their bodily functions or believe that passing gas is dirty or inappropriate. Others may be worried about being judged or ridiculed by others for their flatulence.
In some cases, medical conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or lactose intolerance can cause excessive flatulence, which can be embarrassing and disruptive to daily life. In these situations, seeking medical advice and treatment may help alleviate the symptoms and reduce feelings of embarrassment.
Overall, the embarrassment surrounding flatulence is often a result of social and cultural norms, personal beliefs and insecurities, and the potential for unpleasant smells. However, it's important to remember that passing gas is a normal and natural bodily function, and there's no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed about it.
At the end of the day to most of us it's just funny.
( I am fairly certain it was him).
How embarrassing is it that I'm nearly a year behind on my photos? My Palouse set is from last Memorial Day and I'm just now finishing it up, ack. What can I say, it's been an interesting year. And the upside is that over the past year I've come up with new editing techniques that have made this Palouse set look a lot better than it would have had I edited it straight away last year!
For anyone who's interested, my current editing love affair (trust me, it changes on a sometimes-weekly basis so who knows how long this will last) is with the Shadows/Highlights tool - namely, exploring the potential of the black and white clip settings.
My defaults for the tool are Amount: 35, Tonal Width: 50, and Radius: 2500 (to eliminate halos) on both Shadows and Highlights, Color Correction and Midtone Contrast both at 0, and Black / White Clip both at 0.01%. I gradually increase the Clip until it looks too, well, clipped (sometimes I take it to 1%, sometimes to 20%...sometimes to 0.05%) and then slide down the Tonal Width until the midtones look right. Then I mask out any areas I don't like so much. It's been a lifesaver lately for righting the shadows and highlights in what was an annoyingly faded, washed-out set of closeups before. Auto White Balance in ACR helped eliminate the magenta color cast, too.
Hope that gives a few people some ideas for new editing possibilities!
(If you're wondering about the weird EXIF data, it was dim out, it was windy out, and my lightweight tripod and short QR plate were not up to holding my 70-200 2.8 OS lens steady so I decided to trust in OS and shoot handheld. Next time I'll take something sturdier.)
I was embarrassed to find, though I'd set up carefully while waiting, that my ISO somehow ended up at 4000. I was using a shutter speed of 1/4000 and must have taken ISO from auto to that number. The shots aren't too bad but I'll be more careful next time! The Red Arrows in Scarborough yesterday.
Somewhat embarrassing photos of an interesting Euphaedra species, with both the ventral and dorsal views. A record here.
The forewing upperside has a large triangular patch, which can be found in limited Euphaedra species. Since the inner margin of the patch is U-shaped, I thus would guess it's Euphaedra crockeri. However, the underside looks slightly different from those of other individuals found in the Larsen book and websites.
Any suggestion/comment on the ID is much appreciated.
DSCN7082-MWTEP08TOP25-CU-EXP0P85-WCP10-CLA20_M_CM-VAL70
This is one of my favourite works at MONA and I'm embarrassed to say I don't know its name or the artist. That's partly because there are no labels at MONA, the electronic tour guide called the "O" is designed to tell you everything about the works of art. But for me at the time it was a matter of holding a camera not a device. So if someone can identify this piece for me all the better.
It has shades of Wyndham Lewis to me with a little of Picasso's fetish for ancient African masks. But of course it is by a contemporary artist - and a fine piece of thought-provoking work it really is.
The reason this one stayed on the cutting room floor two years ago was that, (1) I didn't have software to straighten it - and that is essential in displaying art, and (2) I didn't have the processing skill to salvage this handheld image with manual focus from its dark cocoon. I hope, like me, you find this uncocooned butterfly a thing of beauty.
I was almost too embarrassed to show this dirty keyboard but the shot's just too cool for words. My morning newspaper had ants all over it...I thought I had got them all...then I saw this little guy in my Mac keyboard. By the way, when you look at it WITHOUT a strobe...it looks perfectly clean! Probably not clean enough for Mrs Clean however!
...alas, yet another picture that I can't show her!!
Please see first comment for an explanation of why I submitted this shot for Macro Monday's embarrassing theme!!! :>)
Enjoy & HMM everyone!
Happy fence Friday, everyone.
