All My Links

I was so lucky to get this shot , a few days ago I went out onto my balcony and the Sun was just before setting, the light of which was beaming across the plants and that's when I noticed a small patch of moss with those little extremities, where the light was actually now illuminating them, they looked like miniature organic street lamps.

With literally minutes to get it together, I first tried using the Tamron with the Raynox but it was a little too close at 70mm, so I then tried the Nikkor 55-200mm again with the Raynox and brought down the ISO to achieve the glow without blowing out the detail. It was a little tricky as the lens was balanced on the side of the pot to get the angle achieved.

Anyway, I think I got there in the end!

I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

Hello There!

One cold day I spotted a stem of Chinese Lanterns that were sticking out from the snow, what a treat! I didn't have my camera with me, so I took a phone shot, then pulled lots of sliders in Topaz Studio. Happy Slider's Sunday! HSS!

Thanks a million for stopping by and for your comment, I do love hearing from you! Have a wonderful day!

Four Lanterns

Matthew 25:8-10 King James Version (KJV)

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
