Graphite on 500 bristol, 6 x 8 inches, of a nearby field in winter - when there was snow! Blogged at nemcoskyart.blogspot.com/2012/01/winter-field.html
OK, so maybe I lied a little about that last poppy upload being the final one.. Just got this back from the lab, and it kinda shows why I love cross-processed film (kodak elitechrome 100 in particular).. No digital tampering required, just beautifully "popping" colours (excuse the pun).

We spotted a field of poppies when travelling from Cromer to Kings Lynn. There were many poppies but fairly distanced from each other. This is edited so as to be a mass of blurry colour.

The rolling English countryside is a glorious thing to view.
We have so much great scenery in the UK (I admit the field in this image doesn’t necessary count) that people here often forget that. When they think of a scenic vacation they don’t always consider what’s on their own doorstep, and so they hotfoot it abroad. I guess it’s understandable when European travel is so easy to do – and those following my photoblog will know I’m certainly all for jumping aboard a plane for a long weekend.
I still like to appreciate the UK though, and have found the recent trips to the coast, to travel around Cornwall or Scotland, and indeed the city breaks I’ve taken, to be delightful and very scenic.
It’s possibly just the weather that let’s us down at times, and I guess people simply want to make sure they go somewhere sunny – so that often doesn’t mean staying at home with our unpredictable weather.
On this topic, next week I’m heading to Wales. I expect to see beautiful coastlines, hike up a mountain or two, and bask in what looks to be splendid sunshine. I may even take a few photos.
I have a busy weekend ahead of me in preparation though – so hope you have a relaxing one on my behalf.

A fox named Hyacinth roams the fields
Scampering through the flowers that spring slowly yields.
Built as a gift for my lovely girlfriend, who gave the fox his name and helped me put together the many flower subassemblies.
I don't often revisit old MOCs, but this was a fun chance to do just that. It was fun tweaking my Lone Wolf design to make it closer to a fox, since it was already most of the way there.
Also thankful for WeBricks for having parts in orange, since Lego does not have all the parts to make up the front legs.
The setting sun breaks through the clouds to spotlight an Icelandic farm just outside of Akureyri, Iceland's second largest city.

Sugar is one of the main exports of Mauritius about 120,000 tons a year in various forms. The mountain in the backdrop is Pieter Both the second highest mountain of Mauritius, at 820 metres tall. The mountain is shorter that Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire by eight meters. It is named after Pieter Both, the first Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. It is located in the Moka Range. The notable feature of this mountain is the gigantic rock formation at the very top of it, which resembles a human head.

Not an amazing composition or anything, but felt it was about time to try out this 90mm I've had for weeks now (I just love the 120mm Super-Symmar so much it may as well be welded to the front of my camera).
Results look pretty good, though the top corners are a bit soft. Note that I shot at f/8, so perhaps that, and the tilt, are to blame(?). Front/forward tilt to extend DoF.

I wanted something because i do alot of black n white. So i took a few of a little lake that runs in town. I challenged the DOF to come up with something that hopefully has me stand out.
Canola field in Ebeotsu, Takikawa, Hokkaido.

The train makes its way past a corn field and a pretty rough looking house on its way to Towanda, Pa.
it doesn't look like they are but they were running across the field, far away... so not the best quality image but I still like it.
My dreams are now as nightmares,
as I wander through and through,
My mind is now corrupted,
as I wander through the new,
New doors have opened to me,
and I've paused then to step in,
wondering, and puzzling,
at all that lies within,
I step then through the blackness
of the open portal there,
and I step out into wonder,
that I never then could share,
I meet then a real new sight,
as the colors swirl by,
I see a field,a whole new world,
and I step forth now, but nigh!
What are these things that dwell here,
oh black creatures of the night,
these skeletons and wanderers,
who blunder in the blight.
A road now falls before me,
going down into the field,
I see bright blooms around me,
and I hope they are my shield,
A shield now from the danger,
that now dwells within my mind,
among the red, and white, and pink,
I know not what I'll find.
Things rise up from the ocean;
sea of Red, and pink, and black,
and I wander on the road there,
looking now for what I lack,
my dreams have drawn me to here,
to this field ever bright,
And carry ever onward,
though my mind's not always right.
I walk now through the meadow,
and I wonder what it means
to ever, ever wander,
in this endless Field of Dreams.
Well ... 2 days ago I posted some colorful flowers and said "hopefully this will coax Spring to Spring!"
Well, today the temp hit the mid 50s in Grand Rapids, we got plenty of sunshine, and I drove around town with the top down again!
So I figure ... more flowers, more warm temperatures!
Hey ... can't hurt, right? ;-)
BTW, this is from the Holland, MI Tulip festival a few years ago.
Another rolling field and big sky near Torreneiri. Not many poppies but plenty of these wild red flowers everywhere.
Created for TMI group's challenge, "In the Style of Monet, Gaugin or Rousseau".
A vast field of Purple Loose-Strife, gorgeous to look at but the bane of many a farmer's life. This highly aggressive and rapidly growing weed is spreading like wildfire on wetlands and fields, choking out everything else around it, as beautiful as it is.
All that aside I thought they made for beautiful imagery and made the most of it.

It is very hot in the Netherlands. The weather forecast speaks of tropical temperatures and today it becomes perhaps the hottest day from our recent history...
Het is heel warm in Nederland. Het weerbericht spreekt van tropische temperaturen en vandaag wordt het misschien wel de warmste dag uit de recente geschiedenis....
Just as Trevor and I were heading home we saw a great opportunity to catch the remaining light. I got lucky with this shot, the wind was blowing the stalks around a bit. It calmed for just a second and I was able to get it.
I've been off Flickr for a long time; longer than the last time. I will be slowly catching up with the photo streams of friends and contacts who I have had the pleasure of meeting online and offline. It got to the point where I had to make a choice between shooting, processing photos or doing Flickr. I've also been spending a lot more time looking at photo books and individual photography (and photographer) websites. My new tactic is to set a time limit on how long I'm on Flickr, that probably won't work but it's worth a shot (no pun intended).
That said, I think posting more frequently will help. So at least for the rest of the year I will try to post at least one photo daily. Time will tell if this succeeds.
