I managed to break two vases the other day so I had a bucket of glass pieces to choose from. I decided to try something I've seen before.

 

It should be possible to get an effect like this by using pure red, blue and green lights at different angles. I mimicked the colored lights however by taking three shots with a single flashlight at different positions, taking from each image only the red, blue or green channel (channel mixer in Darktable) and combining them (in the Gimp blending the layers with mode 'addition')

 

This is a crop of a larger image in order to get enough depth of field.

 

Thanks for all your comments and faves, they are really appreciated.

 

Happy Macro Monday!

genius manages to roll car in a single vehicle accident on a hot dry day on a dead straight piece of highway in light weekend traffic. he was ok and on his mobile straight away. maybe he never got off it? that would be awesome. "hello? hello?? wtf just happnened?" "oh, jus roll my car lor, no worry mah, this AYE si beh tricky to drive one lah."

 

oh, in today's paper - another genius managed to crash his motorbike into a turning bus, going through the rear doors in the process and leaving his bike wedged in the bus aisle. he wasn't as lucky as this driver and is in a critical condition. check out the picture in the news story

Managed to find a poppy field after lots of looking around and driving aimlessly. Thanks to the girls that assisted with help finding the location. Local knowledge always wins out.

Finally managed to get out and catch the last bit of Autumn colour

Managed to capture, through the reeds, this Juvenile Deer feeding. Always a delight to see these shy deer.

Thanks for viewing, and for any favs/comments.

managed to get a quick shot in after work

Managed to spot this lovely little owl just before sundown here in Delta.

Taken over a year ago this photo feels like a lifetime ago; before Lockdowns and pandemics, before Brexit and talks of food shortages. Still ... it evokes nice memories of a warm afternoon sitting on a rock in Glen Massan, alternating between daydreaming and trying to work out the best angle for this shot.

This is the big waterfall in Rouken Glen park, captured from my drone. In the background can be seen the pedestrian bridge, and beyond that another waterfall.

I managed to take my pictures using RAW on my camera without realising and I couldn't work out how to upload... I couldn't see the pictures like usual so I was panicking and thinking noooo dont make me do this again. Time consuming enough as it is.

 

I have a few days till I start working again so I'm hoping to do lots more in that time.

Managed to capture an image of this fast-mover. Seen near the Turtle Pond at the Los Angeles County Arboretum, Arcadia CA.

Managed to borrow a boat to get me here. The little Cumbrae is a small relatively inaccessible island on the west coast of Scotland

I managed to escape to the Peak District this week to catch up with an old friend and visit a new location. The idea was to wild camp and take both sunset and sunrise shots, but the weather forecast changed and the sun failed to show up at sunset and with heavy rain predicted through the night and into the next day we decided to call it a night.

A nice view but one for another day when the conditions are better. A nice leg stretch and a good chat in the pub before heading home to a comfy bed.

Wee drone shot of Loch Eck looking north over Jubilee Point.

Managed to get the French Tricolore flag

Managed to find the nest site of a pair of Dartford warblers kept our distance as Mum & Dad kept a steady flow of food coming

Managed to get out yesterday and shoot some of the autumn colours before they disappear completely . This is Golithia falls near Bodmin one of my favourite spots in Cornwall , a special place that i all ways visit once a year .

Managed to get out today and go to a few locations iv been really wanting to visit. this is one of them. it is a slip ramp from the yacht club in Brighton.

I was lucky to get out. a few nights ago we had lighting at 2am, and I woke up to try capture some of the storm, but as I was walking back from the car after getting my tripod, I actually dropped my tripod right on the ball head and completely stuffed it... about time though. was needing a new one. so I brought a vanguard ball head, and it is so much better than my last one. cost me $170 but very much worth it. would recommend.

hope you like my upcoming images and please leave a comment if you have time. thanks

Sam managed to catch me but i can’t say the say the same for our friends the floor caught jon and I’m sure xinfo is still icing his back. Overall the date was great 😌

As this song by Joseph Arthur is playing while I upload this, Mercedes is fine, especially as they fly so quickly. So far it's been a. good year for my beloved High Brown Fritillaries. they emerged in the last week of May, unheard of. Despite the strong winds and rain I've managed to find a few freshly emerged ones most days. This very fresh male posed nicely, despite the fact the bracken was moving in the strong wind.

I managed to squeeze in a bit of brick therapy during the past few weeks.

 

This is small cargo shuttle, that I've been building over the last five weeks or so. This ship is intended to be the space equivalent of a box truck, like this. I imagine this particular ship as having a lot of light-years under its belt, used for longer journeys than originally intended, so there's a hammock in the cargo bay. As I explained above, I had a lot of time to think about this creation, even if I didn't have much time to build or blog. I also imagined the that it might not always have been docked in the nicest of space neighborhoods, so I built after I took some photos, I covered it in graffiti.

Managed to get a few nice shots like this one, whilst out testing my new Tamron 150-600mm G2 lens.

Managed a few shots down at Yellowcraigs beach after the rain had gone on Sat night.

 

Annoying as the best skies were when it was raining so couldn't do any long exposures. Got a few normal exposures before without filters that I might post later. Nice to get out away from the crowds as had the place to myself

 

Taken about one hour after sunset with an exposure of over 300 seconds. Some hot pixels in the shot as had several attempts to get the exposure correct and this still was way too under exposed and it was getting darker still so gave up doing another.

Managed a couple of pics of these speedy little blighters. Thanks to Paul for the tip-off :)

Much heavier crops than I'd like, will have to keep saving for a longer macro lens.

Managed to creep up fairly close to this Brown Hare and take a few shots before it legged it.

It never lifted its ears once until it was running away from me!

I managed to capture this beautiful sunset scene over a wheat field near where I live in West Sussex, UK. As I was walking through the field I came across the curved tractor track in the wheat that adds nicely to the foreground. I had to do quite a bit on noise reduction in post production though as it was quite a low light scene.

Managing an Aussie in the city is... interesting. We have been a frequent resident of Baltimore City over the last year. Time there has taught Lux so much about how to act around crowds and other dogs as he can be very reactive on the leash. This weekend was our last time there for a while and I was so impressed with my boy as we walked the Inner Harbor among a dense crowd of people, dogs, and wild children. Every situation is a training opportunity! This part of the Harbor is an iconic backdrop, so it was a perfect chance for a photo shoot and some nostalgia.

Managing her young birds about five around her on water and grass.

After a very long time i finaly managed to properly use software and finish my M31 photos.

 

specialy thanks to Mark-Jaap a colleague at the public obserbatory Bussloo who showed me the ropes and let me use his telescoop.

 

I managed to not tread on these two lovers as they were canoodling in the grass .. I hate hearing that crunch when you don't always see them until it's too late ! .... :(

managed to outwit this little guy. I spent a good half an hour stalking and chasing through the bush. Eventually it sat still in the open for just long enough so I could rattle off a few frames. It doesn't look to impressed though.

 

I managed to lose the front of my diffuser back in July. I was leaning over the railing on a floating a bridge to shoot a spider and the wind caught it and it fell into the water. It being held together using neodymium magnets is very useful, but obviously I hadn't built it strong enough.

 

Since there was no one around but my family (this was out in a nature reserve) I decided to strip off and dive for it.

 

I spent a while there, but my attempts were fruitless so there was not much else to do but go home and build myself a new one.

 

This is the second test shot taken with version 7 of my diffuser. It had been raining that day and this was in the evening so I had couldn't be too picky with subjects and this acalyptrate fly (Meiosimyza decempunctata) in the neighbour's hedge is perhaps not the most challenging of subjects, but I am please with the results.

 

Version 7 now have 10 magnets instead of 5 to hold the diffusion sheet so I believe it will be much more weather-safe now.

Wizarding Faire is coming soon and this year, my little store will be in it. Much excite! \o/

 

I'm not sure if the sim is open to the public now. According to the sim's schedule, students are currently on summer holidays. Plus, certain areas are closed for Wizarding Faire setup.

 

But here's the sim's official page if you want to check out RP details or if the sim is open or not.

 

The sim is gorgeous!

I managed to squeeze in an afternoon trip to Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park on Midsummer's Day (of 2022) and ended up climbing up along the small creek hoping to get some good shots of the demoiselles fluttering over the water which looked absolutely gorgeous with their metallic wings. It turned out to be quite difficult to capture them though so I began walking (or climbing really) towards home when I spotted a real treat on a rock next to the water!

 

This is a female copper peacock beetle (Elaphrus cupreus) at just 9 mm (3/8") body length shot at 2:2 magnification. It is also a two-exposure focus-stack. I didn't use any particular stacking software though and just blended the parts together using Photoshop.

I managed to get within 20' of this big guy. And I'd of been scared out of my socks, had I not been in my truck at the time. Some times it helps to take a trip to Yellowstone, even during a drought.

 

There were very few animals in the Park, and just outside the Park the animals I did see looked to be about half starved. We waited a life time to make this trip, and because of the lack of rain everything was pretty much dried out. I pray we get lots of rain this winter. We need to put out all these Fires and fill-up our lakes and reservoirs.

 

God bless America.

Mysterious footsteps on Strachur Beach.

Last year when I was kayaking on Loch Long I came across an old pier and a derelict building at the top of some worn concrete steps. It turned out I has come across the remains of an old World War 2 building used to winch anti-submarine nets across the loch. I often wondered if there was a way to get to it across land, and a couple of weekends ago I managed to find an old trail leading to it.

Managed to snag a bolt piercing through the base while taking frames for a time-lapse.

I managed to grab a shot just as some extreme sunlight flooded Buttermere and the trees along the shore line creating a nice contrast against the fells behind. This one just didn't seem to work in colour.

Managed to capture this Swan as it flew overhead... have to say bright blue sky and white feathers don't make photography easy, especially with limited photoshop knowledge......

Managed to grab this shot while my daughter was playing in the car this morning!

I managed to capture this Brown Hare in a North Yorkshire field as the sun was coming up and shining across this field covered in dew. The Hares was having a great time chasing each other and having fun running up and down alongside a hedgerow.

A challenge to capture in focus as they were running so fast!

Thanks fore taking the time to visit my Flickr page. Happy to receive feedback / comments.

I managed to get out for a walk around Burrator on Thursday night, the plan was to walk up Sheeps Tor for sunset but when I climb to the top I was uninspired so decided to take a walk around in the woods along the reservior.

 

I was surprised to find the Blue Bells still out in bloom and stumbling across this small meadow I had to take the picture. There is a small moss covered rock in the picture (I should have been close if I am honest) in a sea of blue and the evening sun shining through the branches.

Managed to spot this girl up on the moors today and for once, she stayed put long enough to get some shots off

I managed to get both of my feet wet right after this as I was surprised by a large wave.

Managed to catch one Perseid meteor before the clouds rolled in from France.
