Finally we made to South Queensferry in time for the sunset... it was calm with no wind, there was patchy mist passing by.. only the long waited sunset did not come - it just went dark...
...as in I'm pretty sure being upside down is good for their brain development. Don't quote me on that though. Unbelievably this is my fifth explore in 5 days!!!!!

The story of this photo:
This is my latest macro shot. Over the last few weeks, I have been spending my time doing a lot of stuff that did not have too much to do with taking or editing photos. It did have to do with photography, but just not with the creative part of it. Anyway, yesterday, I got fed up with this stuff and I started messing around with my macro gear. The sun just went down and I found this tiny foilage with those delicate little hairs. I figured that this would look great against the sun. So, I got out my little syringe, applied a few droplets and took a whole bunch of shots with the sun in different spots relative to the foilage.
Initailly, I went with an aperture of f/20 to f/25 to get all of the leaves in focus. But that brought parts of the background too much into focus too. So, I went with f/8 which blurred the background entirely, and I took different shots with different foci. Then I used focus stacking in Photoshop to blend those images together. Et Voilà, subject in focus, background blurred.
And here is the lesson for you: Always know what you can do to an image in post-processing while you are shooting. This may help you solve problems and lets you create images that may be very difficult to create otherwise.
How it was shot:
> Taken with a tripod
> Three exposures - used focus stacking to bring the whole subject into focus
> Camera: Nikon D7000
> Lens: Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 105mm 1:2,8G VR
How it was post-processed:
> Post-processing was done in Photoshop
> Topaz DeNoise
> Topaz Infocus for sharpening
> Topaz Details for bringing out the details in the petals and some basic color correction
> Saturation adjustent layer (master)
> Vibrance layer (vibrance)

Lucille has been a good girl
exploring outside without
her walking gear. This was yesterday.
As with Cats today is a different day.
We had several rainstorms early in our visit. On this day I was able to get out and take photos while dodging light showers. The clouds alternated with brilliant sunshine, creating a magical light that I chased for hours.
(The sky not Jill!)
Out with Jill on Himmy to get some brunch at the 'Outside Cafe' in Hathersage..
Weather is- 'changable' it seems!!

I had the pleasure of seeing this amazingly vivid rainbow appear over Blackfriars Station yesterday afternoon. From my vantage point it was too wide a scene to fit in the viewfinder with the 16-55mm lens on my Fuji X-T2 so I had to let the ultrawide 13mm equivalent lens on my iPhone come to the rescue ...

Pulicat Lagoon is the second largest brackish water lagoon in India, after Chilika Lake. Pulicat Lagoon is considered to be the second largest brackish water body in India measuring 759* km2. The Lagoon is one the three important wetlands to attract North-East Monsoon rain clouds during October to December season to Tamil Nadu. (AP) The lagoon was cut across in the middle the Sriharikota Link Road, which divided the water body into lake and marshy land. The lake encompasses the Pulicat Lake Bird Sanctuary.
Every year approximately 15,000 greater flamingos are reported to visit the lake along with pelicans, kingfishers, herons, painted storks, spoonbills and ducks. The highest concentrations of flamingo are found in the periphery of the lagoon where the water level is below40 centimetres (16 in). The concentrations of flamingos are also associated with high algal, fish and benthic diversity.Other water birds in the area include spot-billed pelican, seven species of herons and egrets, painted stork, greater flamingos, ducks, 20 species of shorebirds, gulls, terns, little grebe, Indian cormorant, little cormorant, Asian openbill stork, black-headed ibis, Eurasian spoonbill, lesser whistling teal, spotbill duck, great thick-knee and stone curlew. Several species of wintering waterfowl have been noted including bar-headed goose, ruddy shelduck, Eurasian wigeon, common teal, northern pintail, garganey, northern shoveller, common pochard, brown-headed gull, black-headed gull, whiskered tern, gull-billed tern and Caspian tern. Birds of prey which appear in winter are the: white-bellied sea eagle, harriers and peregrine falcons.
