Fall is (unfortunately) also a season of first colds and flu, so I made few get well cards. I used Small variety alphabeth to compose a sentiment and sweet apple image from Designer fruis clear set. Tfl

Getting pretty darn big! It's grown outdoors all year round under a make-shift shelter. For years, it struggled because I was told to make sure it doesn't ever freeze, so I took it indoors for the winter where it didn't get much light. The plant really didn't like that and would struggle until spring when it was placed outdoors again.
This past winter, it stayed outdoors in full sun even throughout the winter, and it seemed to grow even when it was pretty cold! I don't think it froze in the makeshift shelter, but we definitely had a few frosty days.
Such colorful birds, often taken for granted because we see them so often.
But look at this: an iridescent green head, yellow bill and orange feet, gray in the body and wings, accented with an intense blue speculum on the wing set off by bright white borders, a brown breast and a white tail with a black overlay that includes a curl. What an amazing compilation of parts!
57002 and 57007 work a Tonbridge to Tonbridge via Ashford snowplough test trip, probably the only time these snowploughs see the main line judging by the amount of snow we usually get. Seen passing Tudeley, 27 September 2017
"Remember when getting high meant swinging at the playground. The worst thing you could get from boys was cooties. Mom was your hero. Dad was the boy you were going to marry. Your worst enemies were your siblings. Race issues were who ran the fastest. War was a card game. Cough medicine was the only drug you had ever heard of. Drama was a type of play. Wearing skirts didn't mean you were a slut. When you said wasted you were talking about time. The only thing you smoked was the tires on your bike. The only thing that hurt was skinned knees. The only things that could get broken were your toys. Life was simple and care free. But what I remember the most was wanting to grow up." Anonymous

Portraiture is a window to the soul. - Anonymous
For my this challenge, Ari, who goes by the name of Lord Nikon 12, His challenge was,
"I am having a great time going through your stream. You take so many beautiful photos, but I don't see any people :(
My challenge to you is to take some portraits and maybe start a 100-strangers project. After that, go wild!".
I had so many ideas for this challenge, but for some reason or another, none of them came thru due to my timing or the people I wanted to take portraits of.. Anyhow, I always wanted to learn the in-camera multiple exposure setting. This was the perfect opportunity for me to do that. This is the portrait of my mum who has come to stay with us.
The tree in this picture is a very old, tall tree right across my house.. I see it change every season..but it still weathers all the changes and still stands tall and majestic.. This gave me an idea to portray my mum and the tree together.. Mum has been a steady rock in my life. She has weathered many many changes in her life lately, but she still stands tall and weathers anything that comes her way with a smile on her face..
Ari, I hope you like this portrait of my mum.. and I am hoping that I find courage to start the 100 strangers project like you suggested sooner than later.. :)
Thanks again for the challenge. It was fun learning a new technique. I have to add that this is not an in-camera shot. Somehow when I downloaded them, they all had a very strong pink tint to them. I have no idea why. Will need to figure that out. However, it is a fun technique and Ari, I hope to see you soon again!
This photo was taken last week also in the abandoned airplane hanger. Not as satisfied with this one but the upside newspaper that ironically says "get smart" tells a story. Canon 430EXII shot through 22in. Beauty dish with grid at full power. Canon 430EXII shot through home made snoot pointed at the newspaper at 1/64th power. Tamron 18-200mm
I haven't been out on a night shoot since Sept 2007... geez - I need to get my head in the cold evening sky. Here's an oldie from the end of 2006. January 08's moon is nearly full.... let's get out there!
No crop... SOOC. How often do you get opportunities like this one? I was shooting the sunset - as you've seen in previous posts when my viewfinder went dark. Then I realized a pelican was coming at me. So I started snapping away. See shot below. I had on my 24-70 and it was at 24mm for both. Maybe he thought the camera was a fish...
Make sure you appreciate in Lightbox. I love the details on the feathers.
