Normally, I use aperture priority to take my images. On this day, I set up with plenty of sunlight on shutter priority with the intention of getting the hummingbird with frozen wings. The shot is darker than I like but the high shutter speed definitely worked on the wings,
This will be the last posting for me for a couple of weeks. My wife and I are going with my daughter and her family to Disney World in Orlando. Hopefully, I'll have a shot of Mickey Mouse to post upon our return.
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.

A Mariña lucense ya dispone de un exclusivo aparato que, entre otros, ayudará a medir la subida que está experimentando el nivel del mar como consecuencia del cambio climático. De esta manera, el mareógrafo inaugurado el pasado miércoles por la Cofradía de Pescadores Santiago Apóstol de Celeiro con motivo de su centenario, y que previsiblemente comenzará a funcionar la próxima semana, será, además de un punto de referencia atractivo para vecinos y visitantes, un instrumento que aportará valiosos datos científicos.
En forma de reloj, está ubicado en la Praza do Monumento ó Náufrago. Sus esferas han sido realizadas en cerámica de Sargadelos sobre un timón metálico con adornos en bronce fundido y están montadas sobre una columna de fundición asentada sobre una piedra maciza de 1,30 metros da altura por 1 de diámetro. En esa base se colocarán azulejos con los nombres de todos los patrones mayores de la cofradía en el último siglo. Por una parte, el artilugio indica el tiempo en horas que resta para la siguiente marea (sea bajamar o pleamar), y por otra, la altura que alcanza el nivel del mar en cada momento. «Nunha das esferas explícase de maneira didáctica como o sol e a lúa inflúen nas mareas polo desfase que ten a Terra ó xirar e á distancia á lúa», resume Antonio Lage, socio de Lages Chavín, la empresa de Viveiro especializada en la fabricación de relojes y piezas de relojería monumental que se ha ocupado del proyecto.
La Cofradía de Celeiro festeja su centenario mirando al futuro: «Calquera pobo vai seguir tendo vida se segue habendo actividade económica»

Una sonda sumergida
El mareógrafo de la Cofradía está conectado a dos sondas. Una de ellas está sumergida en el agua, mientras que la otra no tiene contacto con ella y funciona tipo radar. El aparato realiza las mediciones mediante un sistema electrónico que lleva a cabo de manera automática una serie de correcciones y cálculos antes de que los datos sean reflejados en las esferas.
Diseño y fabricación de una empresa de Viveiro
Tanto del diseño como de la fabricación, de principio a fin, del mareógrafo de Celeiro se ha ocupado una empresa de Viveiro, Lages Electrónica, que cuenta con más de cuarenta años de experiencia en el sector. En el 2021, la firma ya se había ocupado de llevar a cabo la compleja restauración del reloj monumental que preside la cúpula de la Cofradía, y que forma parte del patrimonio histórico-pesquero de la localidad mariñana. Su desgaste era generalizado.
En esta ocasión, Lages Electrónica, que también rehabilitó, por ejemplo, el reloj de la iglesia de Santa María, en el centro histórico, ha realizado un proyecto exclusivo, totalmente a medida. Sus profesionales se han encargado del diseño, creación y ensamblaje de los sistemas electrónicos, pero también de encargar la base de piedra, tallada de manera manual, o la columna de fundición.
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!
Feliz Natal!
Merry Christmas!

On the way to teach ,and suddenly --through my newly schooled eyes !! --noticed the side of the law faculty building--and decided to experiment again!
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.

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.
Camera toss. No Photoshop manipulations - only adjusting brightness
Part of a multi-photographer experiment using a graphic target as a source.
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.
An experiment - and a short break from the gloom of the winter Gormleys ...
I recently found an interesting link on *kday*'s page to the Orton technique. It looked like a nice soft effect so I thought I'd give it a go. I know I haven't got it quite right yet, but I think it might be worth experimenting more.
But I'm still not sure ...
What do you think?
