After many gray and rainy days, today the sun shone. So I took advantage of playing with the OMNI filter in the garden. I keep having fun !!!
Hope is having a great weekend so far. I finally had the day off today and pretty much just walked and kept messing around with the new cam and lens. Now time chill and mess around in Flickr for a little bit.
Catch you all soon!!!
At times it was overcast with the sun peeking out once in a while. Took my waterfowl friends some food.
Taken with Nikon D200 Lens: 80-200mm f/2.8D
I wasn’t looking for them, nor did I expect to see them, but I remember remarking to my friend, “They look like Jellyfish” referring to the strangest clouds I’d seen as of late, pockets of cloud that had begun to secularly condense to form rain curtains, yet evaporate before reaching the ground, upon the backdrop of a warm Spring evening. Being the type of photographer, that carries my gear with me as often as I can, paid off that evening.
After some research these are apparently a type of hybrid between altocumulus and cirrus, but are indeed unofficially called Jellyfish Clouds. I did take a closer shot that’ll I’ll post up soon, but they looked so eerily alien and as with the title, Lovecraftian.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! 😊
Another one from my balcony shoot (so to speak), this Eurasian Jay gave me the eyes, both of them, and I decided to have fun with the PP. So thus this is an entirely experimental image as a partial monochrome render. It was suggested to me to setup a better backdrop and so I will in time.
Also I may be bringing back the CPTSD series, not sure yet.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
So, there I was power walking to get to the sunset in time, with must be at full kit at least 30 to 40 kilos on my back, only to be met by a horizon cloud blocking the view, a photo I will post of that soon enough; however, enroute was met by this local farm road and the Sun in such a position, I simply snapped off this shot as I walked along. After tidying up a little bit of lens-flare I was happy with the result. So, paradise or perdition? You decide!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! 😊
Another one from the many I have taken of the little beasties that arrive on my balcony, seduced by humble pots of peanuts. I see myself very lucky to live in such a location, whereas many others are animal lovers and so much abundance is available for them.
As you can see from the photo and title, my balcony is completely reflected in the eye of said Squirrel or Eichhörnchen in German.
I hope everyone has had a great weekend and so as always, thank you! :)
I woke up today and for the first time in quite awhile, I felt like being lazy, I decided in the end to rig my 150-600mm G2 Tamron onto the tripod, in my living room, set up some nuts on the balcony, sit on my ass and wait, with the back door left open! Sure enough by the end of the afternoon I had accumulated over 150 shots. Squirrels, Eurasian Jays, Magpies, Woodpeckers and so on. I was so struck by the moustache on this little guy, it had such military high ranking officer feel about it, having trained in the army and met a few officers, this name seemed appropriate.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
Reference the links page, I have now included beneath the link for Trade Republic, a new link to a YouTube playlist on how to get started in Trading as an absolute beginner, it’s very simple and easy to follow as well as being quite funny.
Now onto the photo, I took this about a year and a half ago, a hot spell in summer got me out of the house for a walkabout. I happened upon a small graveyard which I didn’t expect to find, noticing this old metal watering can and tap, I pondered as to why people put flowers on grave sites, as if to consider somewhat an outward practice of flourishment, that if the flowers are at least alive, then some resemblance of the living still remains. Seems humans take life for granted, are terrified of death, long for the life to comeback once someone has expired yet it takes so little time to, at least in present thought, to withdraw from the world’s perspective, humans are abundantly steeped in contradiction.
I hope everyone is well and so as always thank you! 😊
PS: And don’t forget that link!
Trying to update my abandoned account with some of my older pictures after being away for so many yeasr haha.
