Guess what this is, I must admit I do not know myself, and I would love to know!

Ooit kado gekregern, ligt al jaren in mijn atelier, geen idee wat het is, maak mij blij met de oplossing!
My front garden is currently full of cosmos flowers, all different sizes & shades of pink. I decided to use a few of them for a flat lay photo.

back to the 70's / 80's: this is a black elastic belt with interlocking buckles ornated with enamel ... found at my mum's ... and I might have worn this belt, too, in my teens : ))
Crazy Tuesday - theme of November 2, 2021: Belt and Buckle
Really struggled with the theme this time ... but I think this buckle might just be crazy enough for

zurück in die 70er / 80er Jahre: ein elastischer Gürtel mit ineinandergreifenden Schnallen, die mit Emaille verziert sind ... gefunden bei meiner Mutter
Und es kann durchaus sein, dass ich den Gürtel als Teenager auch getragen habe : ))

Guess who left it to the last minute to get a photo. Luckily the new backdrops are kind of star of the show so I grabbed a few bits and kept it simple.
1/31: October, a month in 31 pictures
The years are going by far too quickly, October already!
I thought I'd start with a flat lay featuring a tag I made and my newly acquired vintage secateurs. I recently bought a few vintage props so I expect most of them will feature at some time during the month.
I am having to post and run as I am off to pick my grandson up from preschool shortly. He will stay for dinner so I will be back later to catch up...if I can stay awake ;)
Looking forward to seeing some old faces and new.
“Life is like macarons… it’s always full of colour.” – anonymous.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 12th of July is "from right above". The subject of your picture is not important; it can be people, animals, plants, objects... even a part of a village, city, forest, anything really. Now a few months ago, I was inspired to buy some very colourful macarons, and I decided to try photographing them in different ways. For one photograph I laid down some delicate laser cut paper doilies flowers and snowflake patterns that I had been given by a dear friend on a black backing board. I then placed four of the macarons on top of four of either the doily or snowflake shapes. They made such a nice and vibrant contrast that I was very taken by the idea. Of course, this seemingly simple picture took ages, and many unsuccessful attempts, to perfect, as being directly overhead, the macarons were not quite in the centre and had to be adjusted by millimetres. Eventually I succeeded, and this was the result! I do hope that you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
Day 365/365:
There were so many occasions this year that I really didn't think I was going to make it to the end of the challenge. But here we are and part of me feels a bit sad. I'm sure that feeling won't last long though and I will relish the new found freedom.
I had intended to end on a more spectacular note but lack of time, light and inspiration got the better of me.
I am still very behind with commenting but I am slowly trying to catch up.
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and creative 2023

Another flat lay today. Lensbaby Velvet 56...because it happened to be on the camera.

There are already some flowers in the garden; snowdrops, crocusses, tiny roses, bergnia, helleborus, vinca, cytisus, winter jasmine and primula, but just very few.

Er zijn al bloeiende bloemen in de tuin, sneeuwklokjes, crocusjes, roosjes, spaanse margrietjes, schoenlappersplant, helleborus, maagdenpalm, brem, winterjasmijn en primula, maar van alles wel héél weinig!

Smile on Saturday: Begins with S - Star fish and seeds.
The seeds are collected from marigolds in my garden.
I am quite cross with myself as once I realised I had placed the front starfish upside down, the light was gone. So instead of the beautiful textures we have a smoother surface. In defence of my silly mistake, I have been very busy and I had my flu jab this morning. Keeping my fingers crossed for no symptoms, so far just a sore arm.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend.

10/31: October 2022: A month in 31 pictures
My new protoboards arrived today. Thanks to Barbara www.flickr.com/photos/62660212@N03/ for the heads up about the company. I'm really pleased and had to use one straight away. Still coming to terms with still life and flat lays with the iPhone. In some ways it's easier (camera weight and manoeuvrability aside) but I don't feel I have quite so much control. Certainly much less faffing and no bending...I really need easy just now.
……A turn to ’Tabletop photography’ today for my iPhoneaday 365 shot #036. Shot on my phone in Apple RAW & edited in Lightroom. Press Z or 'Pinch Out' to pixel peep. This still life is ‘flat lay’ in natural light (plus a white card on the right) on a black backdrop with Blutac to hold the 1½” cream pots in place - and all for Smile on Saturday which this week has for its theme ‘two same’. No cream (or Milk) was spilt in the taking of this shot. HS😊S, Alan:-)

Today I had a nice lunch out with my parents and my daughter - she wanted to say goodbye to her grandparents before she heads back to Kingston for second semester. It has been raining all afternoon and I felt chilled after we got back home so I thought a hot cup of tea was in order.
Thanks for your visit. I hope everyone has had a good day. :)
Day 310/365:
Another quick flat lay today.
Apologies for not being very active again but after doing pretty well with recovery my back has taken a turn for the worse again. It's hard to sit at the computer for long.
I really appreciate your comments but please don't feel obliged while I can't reciprocate too much just now. I hate to post and run but having got this far I'm just trying to stay in the game. My osteopath assures me that each relapse should have a quicker recovery time so fingers crossed.
18-135 mm 1:1.8 - wouldn't that be wonderful ??
( although it says 1:1:8, LOL )
Crazy Tuesday - theme of September 1, 2020: Circles
I was really uninspired this time - hence no exuberant bokeh bubbles or similar, but a very simple 'flatlay' ; ))
This is part of a really cute (big) metal box I got from my sister for my birthday last year. It depicts a camera (main box) with a lens that protrudes from the box and which can also be opened.
HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday, everyone

April 2022: A month in 30 pictures
I'm finding it increasingly hard to come up with ideas, life is busy and I am struggling to keep up with the 365. I'm not sure I will make it to the end, I have some serious thinking to do.
This started with the photography book, I then added the camera and negatives, then I remembered I had some old family photos I could use, including one of my father in his army uniform.
I was doing some gardening today before the rain hits tomorrow. I deadheaded the roses but it seemed a shame to put them in the compost before taking a photo of them. Since they are fading away anyway I decided on a faded vintage edit with a couple of textures (my own).
I used my nifty fifty as a change from all things Lensbaby.
Day 234/365:
I would love to have participated in Macro Monday this week. As the theme is Star as a tribute to Hans Holt, one of the administrators who has passed away.
Unfortunately because of my back problem I'm unable to use my big camera with macro lens. So another spotlight iPhone shot as my tribute to him. RIP Hans and HMM to all.
The cake inspired me for the photo because my husband and I have been very happy to eat it ... hahahaha ... Actually life is like cake ... when you have it you have to take advantage of it and enjoy it, sometimes there is and others are not.
La torta me inspiro para la foto por que a mi esposo y a mi nos ha echo muy feliz comerla ... jajajaja ... En realidad la vida es como la torta .... cuando la tienes hay que aprovechar y disfrutarla, aveces la hay y otras no.

Sacher Torta.... Yummi Dessert
Well, hello there. I've been a very poor Flickrite lately. I'm trying to get back into the habit of taking photos but I'm a bit out of touch.
Just to give an update: My back is improving, at last, it's been eight months so I am very relieved to be making some progress. I now know what the problem is and I'm on the right medication which should help in the long term. Just as I was getting on my feet (so to speak) I went down with a horrible (non Covid) virus which I am now getting over.
I won't be able to catch up with all your images that I have missed but will start afresh and hope to view and comment over the weekend. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
