Hi Girls! Lately I've really been into shorts with tights. I really find it very sexy. Very unusual for me to have such contrast with with white tights and black shorts! At first I thought it could be to out there, but now I'm thinking I really dig it!!! Your thoughts???❤️👠❤️👠
The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours. It is an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

Some of the photos my phone takes are "superbly lit" by the best kind of natural day light I could ever hope for. But it also "reveals" a lot about my face details and the pores of my skin, and other "age defects" :( So, in an effort to "help" my feminine appearance, I could not resist, for once, some experimental retouching... Simply made my skin "softer". I guess I could use a lot of tricks but my goal is not to cheat but to show the person you would meet if we ever have the chance to meet in person, one day
sparrows are regular visitors. lovely to see them :)
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
I called this number one because I expect to do more...It was soooo much fun...Using Marbleizing Spray, Unryu Paper, Inks, Gesso, & Brusho. Enjoyed this a lot....

Tonight's experiment was to see how little makeup I can get away with using.
Like most of us I normally cake the stuff on just recently I have been using a BB cream instead of a full coverage foundation. I have found the former to work rather well but it does tend to get a bit shinny after a while.
Tonight I just used two small blobs of foundation on my upper lip and chin followed buy some powder, bronzer and a little eyeshadow and lippy.
I am very pleased with the result and hope to see how this works all day.
Back to work in the morning and I have a job to go back to and its with the same company so my redundancy was short lived. Just got to let the other three job offers know I cant take them. Oh is well that ends well.
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.
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.
As I moved the slider along to change the hue and saturation, I noticed that at the pace it changes it creates an effect of different colours. And so I print screened them and these are my results..
I've always wanted to use flashes more effectively. So, I checked out a book from the library called Hot Shoe Diaries, by Joe McNally. I liked it so much, I bought a copy. Experimentation takes time, and who better to tolerate the changes and tests than me!
Every year, I grow a beard, and normally keep it neatly trimmed, but this year let it grow pretty much all winter. I wanted to archive it before I shave it off (next week) So, I accomplished two things: archive and experiment.
Newton performed many of his experiments in this room and through the window can be seen the famous apple tree connected with his discovery of the law of gravitation - still bearing fruit.
The windmill represents one of his experiments on a model of a working windmill with which he compared the efficiency of power generated by wind, water and mice! Thus the mouse on the windowsill.
Newton barely passed his exams to enter Cambridge and 8 years later he was one of the leading mathematicians in the world. Remember calculus? That was one of Newton's creations and without it, we could not have landed on the moon.
This was a time where I would add a little this and a little that to make things pop off....well it's still da same format but like time things have advanced....
I've been looking into faux stained glass techniques - as much as I would love to learn the actual craft, the potential project simply doesn't have the budget to accommodate real stained glass. So here is a first attempt at mimicking at least the idea, getting used to to approach, and fine-tuning coloration and texture.
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.

Guess who's off sick?
Anyway, playing about with some filters I was given by a friend - this is a "soft spot" filter, which I guess is meant to give kind of the same effect as a lensbaby (ie only one part in focus, the rest blurred), but I was quite disappointed as the effect isn't very obvious, in fact it's pretty negligible...so I just thought I'd play about and whack on as much grain and noise on it as possible, hence me shooting at ISO 1600, plus adding extra in PS...anyway, I was trying to get some creepy shots of dolls (as you do) and I quite like how they came out...
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!
