panasonic lumix tz70

this afternoon i continued to experiment with my new camera. i used the scene and macro settings together with the focus lever. 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 ...

www.flickr.com/groups/gardening_is_my_hobby/ helpful for ideas. thank you for sharing

Erection reflection !!! hehehehehe

@David style ! have a XXXL day ,

I'm happy with the composition apart from maybe the distracting trees? Any comments would be greatly appreciated :-)

Experimenting with flash and longer exposures with my new Sigma 20mm f1.4 ART lens! This was the first shot of the night and my favorite of the set! Lightroom only.

Eine kleine Spielerei vom Wochenende.

Angeregt durch die Chip Foto-Video 12/2013, wollte ich das Experiment ausprobieren. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. Man benötigt einen Metallquirl (aus der Küche), ein Stück Schnur (1,5 m) und Stahlwolle "000" aus dem Baumarkt. Die Schnur wird an dem Quirl befestigt, in den Quirl stopft man lose die Stahlwolle und los geht es. Die Kameraeinstellung findet Ihr in den Exif-Daten. Ich habe meinen Selbstauslöser (10 s) benutzt, die Zeit reicht gut, die Stahlwolle mit einem Feuerzeug anzuzünden und alles in kreisende Bewegung zu versetzen. Es macht Spaß, Erfolg garantiert!!!!

Here is the complete image in Color... Thinking Outside the Box... Sometimes I like to experiment with the tools I have... This is part of my "Thinking Outside of the Box"... Thanks for all the likes and comments.. Kind regards Gary.

there's a fucking humming bird in my eye. :)

I saw some nice panties the other day, yours hi waisted but not control ones really or very light control. I was tempted, so today I am trying them out. Hence the underwear picture. Here they are on, I have under there are my useless parts as I usually have them, tucked away in what I can clitty bags, basically stocking/tight toes. It keeps all neat and tucked away as well as I can. I'm not sure but I don't think there's much sign of maleness. The panties don't quite cover my bag but I don't think do too bad. I was going to use a body shaper over but decided on just a bra instead.

Comments and thoughts always welcome.

Okay, so this is an experiment combined with an 'I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep' state of an image. But I actually quite liked where it stood, in its weird sort of blendly forest present state. So I decided to let it just remain like that instead of staying awake...day 18, yay!

18 colours totally randomly picked. Each colour for each round chosen with eyes closed. Oddly it seems to work.

An experiment with ICM (Intentional Camera Movement), this won't appeal to many as a railway photograph, I mean it's all out of focus and looks a mess, but it does have some appeal to me.

This is just an experimental shot and process which in all honesty I didn't think anything would result, with the camera set on a longish exposure, I clicked and rotated the camera as the train approached, I did another when the train had passed, two images are straightened and merged in Photoshop with a multiply layer blend. There are no other Photoshop special effects.

Experimenting

I had never heard the term Dutch Angle before, I probably would have described it as wonky. I have never set out to take a wonky picture before. I probably would have made the subject wonky if I thought it would help. So today was an interesting experiment.

This is an experiment on editing color. Today I am going to do a course on Elements, hope it will rub off as I feel I lag a lot of knowledge there.

I am one of these city girls who takes the car for every thing, so I can only dream of cycling, but this is also due to extreme workpressure.

An experiment with expired film

Shot on PC 400 (President's Choice), a supermarket branded film from The Real Canadian Superstore, unknown expiry, rated at ISO/ASA 100. The canister says product of the Netherlands, but from the DX code 005783, this appears to be Fujicolor Superia 400.

Since this roll of film was expired, I decided to experiment with the developing process, so I soaked or "souped" the film in orange pekoe tea with lemon for 14 hours before developing. By accident, I had not twisted and locked the developing tank all the way, so after the developer, the tank top came off as I was pouring out the water used to wash/stop the developer; however, I don't think this affected the outcome much.

I can see a bit of red in some shots, but all other colours were washed off. I might try again, even with fresh film, and less time in the soup, with possibly other "cooking" ingredients.

Colors have been an existential crisis lately.

Lately I've been on a film emulation kick, and it feels like everything I touch ends up all filmulated, and way too trendy. I'm wondering if there's a way to buck this.

This photograph is somewhere in the middle. While I definitely shot for something a little more vintage, but at the same time I wanted an extreme effect.

I've been realizing the thing I love the most is innovation. I really want to do everything in a new way, even colors.

This is my friend, Emily. We decided to purchase some confetti from Dollarama and experiment with it. Unfortunately, it was freezing (can't really tell from these pics LOL) so we didn't take pictures for too long :s Hoping for warm, spring weather some time this week so we can redo this experiment!

Right partner, here is what I came up with - but feel free to bring me to a grinding halt if it doesn't rock your boat. A square in a square sort of block in bright colours (and let's not forget a wee bit of HR). If you like I can do a couple more. If not, back to the drawing board. And do you prefer the navy or grey Essex linen for the background. I know what I prefer but this is about you, not me.

Not to be outdone by Nikon Nigel I present my heavily cropped slightly photoshopped splash experiment. I can take no credit for the set up and flash trigger that helped create this.

Because I was a teacher, 95% of my 'work' (LOL!) falls into 'experiments','doodles',or demonstrations.

Only on extremely rare occasions have I set out to do a piece of work with serious intent. The nine Fruit of the Spirit hangings fall into this last category. You can see them in my Church banners set if you are interested. see here www.flickr.com/photos/16054928@N07/albums/72157625102416370

This above was a demonstration/experiment, one of many "Blind leading the Blind" experiences so familiar to my pupils: we all enjoyed the frisson of 'Miss' not having a clue what she was doing, as it was for the first time!
