Evening scene in Cullen, Scotland. Two surfers are finished and come back out the water.

This was a fun assignment and took me about an hour and a half to complete

Well, I've only had the chance to shoot Picture Lake once so far, but I am itchin' to get back up there sometime soon.

Anyway, this is from September. I revisited it today, because I was pretty unhappy with almost all of my shots that day because of the horrific lens flare I was getting from the circular polarizer I was using. I should have been more careful and/or used a lens hood.

I suppose this is a lesson learned. Anyway, I went through the 60 or so shots I took up there that day, and found this series that was lacking the annoying flare!

The real reason I brought this one back to life is because I had intended to put one of the Shuksan images in the "gallery" I set up today at Boxley's in North Bend, but after printing and framing the 20x30, I was too disgusted with the flare to display it, so I put it back in the car and brought it back home with me...

I do like this one, because if you look closely you can see a dragon fly =)

I learned how to do this today from Gavin Hoey on Adorama TV. I showed the video to my wife, and asked if she wanted to do it, and she found a translucent umbrella, and here's our result. Here's the link to that wonderful video

I will explain how I did it, but Gavin does a much better job of it on his video. I've been watching Gavin on YouTube long before he went to work for Adorama. I've always referred to the videos there as the University of YouTube.

I have an entire set comprised of silhouette pictures that can be seen here. Imagine the excitement .......

I attended the school of hard knocks. I came from an industrial, blue collar, inner city

neighborhood and overcame many obstacles people told me would prevent me from achieving my goals. It wasn't easy to get where we are at today.

Learnt a valuable lesson whilst I was in Helsinki this weekend. -12 and an early start for sunrise, I am in the right place at the right time and the sky exploded with colour. The cold drained the battery quicker than expected, my poor practice meant that the spare was dead too and no matter how much I wanted it, another shot was impossible.

This was the last shot I got before the camera died.

'The Golf Lesson' On Black

Well I adore you all. After I found out about the emails sent to Veronica I made a call. She stated she has know idea what this is all about and that the Gardens are so very sorry for this...her exact words were THE MORE THE MERRIER! She said we are all so welcome to come and that if there were any problems what so ever to ask for the manager on duty and tell him that her and Josh Ok"d the day for us. Now my dear flickr friends What say you? Are we on for next Sunday at the Gardens? By the way she did ask that we not have tripods in the conservatory because of the small pathways. Other than that the day looks right now according to the weather reports to be 56 degrees and SUNNY!

Lesson learned...Ya gotta have friends!

It seams I am more passable than I think.

While out shopping in my local town I past the florist who happens to sell a lot of vintage style dress (Yes Janet you know the florist) and in the window was flyer for a tea dance to be held locally. I continued shopping and got my bits I went out for and decided as I liked the idea of a tea dance on the way back to pop into the florist and a ask a question.

Now me being the caring sort of person and worry about people's sensibilities I thought it would be prudent to ask if I would be welcome at such an event my being trans and all.

Well the lady was a bit taken aback saying "of course you would be welcome why ever not?" On explaining a second time she said "Had you not told me dear I would never have known"

Well that shocked me and yeah OK she could have just been saying that bit I feel she was being truthful.

So one happy girl walked out clutching a flyer Hell bent on attending the event.

The lesson learnt is I have to stop telling people I am trans it doesn't matter.

It's a wonder that this fish wasn't frozen.

I have sooo missed my camera these past months! Life has led me elsewhere lately...

As artists our view through the lens is an invaluable tool..an extension of ourselves ... always ready to capture inspiration where ever it may be..

Today was 'self teach' day for me, iPad and paper in hand we worked on using MANUAL ONLY with available lighting !!

I LOVE MANUAL !!

and having more control of the end result... especially if it doesn't fit into the "artistic vision" of what the image was in your head... not to mention less time in post-production!!

A win-win no matter how you look at it!

Thank you ALL of my Flickr friends for your visits and your incredible streams that continue to delight , inspire and carry me away each time I visit...Explored # 433 thanks you one and all!!

Had my first lesson today. It was fun. It still remains to be seen if I have any apptitude for this but it will be fun learning. :) Hope you are having a great weekend! We got a little bit of RAIN today! So exciting! (First since June!)
