I used to have a great view of the sunset from my balcony, but after moving homes I need to actually get out of the house in order to take decent photos of the sunset. This has quickly become my favorite spot... 10 minutes by bike from my home (so I really can't complain :-)).
I've been experimenting with some long exposure shots at the lake, but the time in which the sunset is brightly colourful is a bit short for actually changing the settings, plus the darkness doesn't really help.
Practice will hopefully help, until then I'll keep posting some more imperfect shots.
Have a great weekend everybody!

panasonic lumix tz70
this morning i continued to experiment with my new camera. i used the panoramic scene setting for this photo. it's a lovely camera to hold and the weight all ok ... but practise, practise, practise
i had been waiting for a panasonic lumix tz90 but there is a global shortage of point and shoot cameras petapixel.com/2021/10/15/the-camera-industry-is-trapped-d... i was on various waiting lists but no stockist had any idea when it would be available. a panasonic lumix tz70 was in stock last week www.lcegroup.co.uk/New-Equipment-Home/ i bought it rather than have a possible prolonged frustrating wait for the tz90
for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

Beads on black. Experimenting to bring up enough light, but not to blow the highlights.
My sister brought some of these beads from Kenya. She enjoyed bartering for them, she said.
I've not shot into the evening sun so directly before, but I did want to see if I could capture the hay and dust stirred up by our neighbor's tractor.
My husband walked down the lane after I began, and weighed in today: he would have shot a more perpendicular angle with fewer or no sun flares, yet still capturing the light. I mention this so that you'll know I'm open to suggestions. (Previous photo link in first comment.)
Nikon D810, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 (130mm)

Thanks for looking and for your fun comments. I think Flickr tagged this one well: "surreal" ;)
...experimenting with new photo processing! ...I have been doing a lot of these lately and it has been addicting...

Perhaps you will understand that this was initially a dandelion photo.
In the boundless landscape of pixel world, magic thrives, unconstrained by the limitations of reality. It is a realm where the impossible becomes possible. Aardvark always sprinkle a little bit of that magic into our world, coloring the experiences with wonder and possibility.
Owls and bears seem to have intertwined their destinies, a glimpse into a world where nature’s experiments might lead to the emergence of these charming, fantastical creations...

I'm liking this, however I want to see if can acheive it on paper with oils or tea stain or something... we'll see, nothing like experimenting! :)
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️
I've posted shots before of this fountain near me. It's on until 9pm from May to September, and to depict photographically the flow of the water, I've had to shoot it either at night
or at twilight
because I just couldn't get a long enough exposure during the day to capture the flow, not even at f/36!
So this time I tried it with my new 10-stop ND filter, and I like how it came out. I like being able to capture the fountain's flow during broad daylight (this was a 15-second exposure at f/25), and compared to the evening or night shots it's less contrast-y and yet the light is still good. So I think I'm going to stick with this filter for my daytime long-exposure shots.
Actually I want to do some experiment with candle. Suddenly, an idea has been popped up in my mind! Then I did this and took the shoot. It took a lot of time to capture this photo. I didn't get the perfect shot. Finally I captured it.
“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn."
― T.H. White, The Once and Future King
My all-time, best-loved quote. With that in mind while still sheltering at home (nine months!), I rented a Lawoa 2.5X-5FX Ultra Macro lens. We already had a macro focus rail. Light is vital on a rainy day; brought in two studio lights in addition to three windows in my office studio. Magnified by three.
Hope for improvement. Comments not necessary until I improve, thank you.
robin not in focus but hopefully will improve
