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.)

Thanks for looking and for your fun comments. I think Flickr tagged this one well: "surreal" ;)
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...

Perhaps you will understand that this was initially a dandelion photo.
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.
Converting a RAW image by using the photo editing software of my iMac and, then, sending it straight to Flickr. It does work, is easy, produces presentable results, but offers a rather restricted range of editorial possibilities [image was shot in Fuji's Acros B+W R film simulation which, of course, was eliminated by Apple's photo editor. In order to preserve this setting I would have to use Fuji's Silkypix raw converter].
Another bokeh experiment of a tiny strange plant, that can not be noticed until gone as close as can..
Happy Bokeh Wednesday
Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!
robin not in focus but hopefully will improve
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 ...

If you got a photo challenge for me, make sure to leave a comment. I will try my best to perfill it :)
On this experiment, I used ink and PVA glue to explore a different concept upon drawing and shades. The ink breaks down creating interesting and unpredictable shapes.
tiddy a feral cat i have fed for years that lives at the end of my garden. tiddy has shelter, a bench and food. she knows she's safe

For some time, I've set my sights on capturing more complex exposures involving hard/contrasting light conditions - mostly because I'm too lazy to get out for the sweeter early morning light. It also requires a learning curve on my part with Photoshop as Lightroom has been my go to app for several years. Looking at some of the images on Flickr by photographers whose work I admire like, Gavin Hardcastle, flic.kr/ps/NBGMP has inspired me to experiment with blending exposures.
The mid afternoon light in this scene was terrible with the sun over/behind the falls and a grey patchy sky being blown about by gusty winds. I shot two exposures - one for the sky and one for the darker cliff walls. Consequently, the final image was an experiment to see how the two would blend together. Next is focus stacking.
