Lighting: Two Nikon SB-5000s at top left and top right bounced off an overhead white card. Both strobes triggered via CLS from on-camera Nikon SB-700 fired vertically against same white card for diffused bounce. All strobes set to TTL and white balanced to 5300K.

Have a peaceful and safe Christmas!

You asked me to meet you in the park, saying that we could get a lot more done in a relaxing environment. Little did I know how false that turned out to be. We spent more time tossing macarons at one another and getting lost in each other’s eyes then we did doing any sort of studying. But it was all worth it to me.

Another "lockdown" project shot in my garage...using a light pad as a background a la Mandy Disher. Have updated the file since first posting as felt it needed a tad more contrast in the flower heads.

"She sells seashells on the seashore.

The shells she sells are seashells, I'm sure.

For if she sells seashells on the seashore,

Then I'm sure she sells sea shore shells."

Shells found in Pensacola, Florida, after Hurricane Michael.

207/365: I went lavender picking the other day, at our local lavender farm. I can't think why when I have plenty in the garden but it's a nice thing to do.

I'm going to be away for a few days with no internet access. This means I will fall behind with posting and commenting. I'll catch up as soon as I can. Wishing you all a great weekend.

I like things in order...but my silverware drawer never stays this way for long because.....well, because I don't live alone. 😉

…it’s an old shot, I just thought I’d give it some extra exposure (dreadful pun intended)

Un lugar al que quiero ir.

Hay tantos lugares a los que quiero ir...

De todos ellos, Vietnam está en previsión.

32/52 {Seasons 2019} My Diary

Coffee time.

Medio mundo es amante del té y el otro del café. Yo soy parte de los segundos.

Haha, unknowingly, I seem to come up with a menu.

I'm currently suffering from my 20-hr binge watch last weekend. I should not have ignored responsibility when it came crying in the background.

Im Nachlass meiner Eltern habe ich diese Beweise für Ihre Sparsamkeit gefunden. Stifte wurden solange genutzt, bis man sie nicht mehr anspitzen konnte ...

Und es ging nicht nur um das Sparen. Wir wurden zur Achtsamkeit der Umwelt gegenüber erzogen. Papier wurde gespart, um die Bäume zu verschonen und die Umweltbelastung durch die Papierherstellung zu minimieren. Wir erfuhren, wie viele Bäume für Hefte und Bücher sterben mussten und wie schädlich die Papierindustrie für die Umwelt ist. Ein beeindruckender Film über die umstrittene Zellulosefabrik am Baikalsee war Pflichtprogramm von der Schule aus.

So nutzten wir selbst die Bons aus Registrierkassen (damals noch aus richtigem Papier) als Notizzettel. Die Rückseite war ja nicht bedruckt.

Jedes Brettchen und Leistchen wurden aufgehoben, weil man es ja vielleicht noch gebrauchen konnte.

Die viel zitierte "Mangelwirtschaft" in der DDR hatte auch so sein Gutes. An Neues war schwer ranzukommen. So glitt man von der "schlechten Zeit" nach dem Krieg nicht in eine fette "Wirtschaftswunderphase", sondern kultivierte die Nutzung vorhandener Ressourcen. Upcycling war selbstverständlich. Nur hieß es damals "aus Alt, mach Neu" ...

Auch Recycling wurde groß geschrieben. Das hieß dann "Sekundärrohstoffgewinnung" - kurz SERO. Einmal im Monat zogen die Schulklassen mit Handwagen los und klingelten an jede Tür, um Altpapier, Glas und Schrott einzusammeln. Die Leute kannten die Termine und sammelten bis dahin alles, was anfiel. Die Schüler brachten diese Schätze dann zum Altstoffhandel bzw. zur "Sekundärrohstofferfassungsstelle". Der Erlös landete in der Klassenkasse. Davon wurden Wandertage oder sogar Klassenfahrten finanziert.

A natural flat lay :))))

I bought some fresh tulips today while I was at the store getting a couple of things for tonight's supper. It is hard to choose which colour to buy and if I was rich I'd buy them all! Haha! I decided on these red tulips as I usually don't see this colour variety. I also thought they would go well with the hearts since Valentine's Day is around the corner. ❤️

Thanks for your visit! I hope you had a great day!

Have joined a group that "Practices Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Beauty". It's a rock painting group and we get together paint rocks, and put them in public places for people to find.

apples!

My submission for 52frames Week 18: Flat Lay.

Mom's sunday morning prayers to the Sun God.

still life flat lay---backlit leaves

I found an ancient copy of Practical Photography magazine - remember it? It's not published any more unfortunately. A feature on still life ideas caught my eye, so I've spent a couple of weeks searching for a suitable pencil sharpener. Not easy in lockdown but a neighbour found one. So after an evening of fiddling and adjusting minute details, hey presto, a zip. #37 Flat lay for the group challenge 121 pictures in 2021

Developed with Darktable 3.6.0.

My apricot raisin toast is shaped like two footprints. Apricot raisin bread from COBS bread bakery.

This is a flat-lay standing up. My grandson set the animals people and other props up.

Flat lay may be my new thing :)
