Cliche Autumn shot!

HCS!

Taken at Tredegar House, Newport, Wales.

Tried a few options for this theme, as soon as I shone a light on this festive cookie cutter I knew it was the one!

HMM! Theme: Negative Space

....until the next storm

Photo No. 6 of Study No 4 for 2023, Black and White photos. Because of the very strong winds this winter many trees or branches have fallen this season. I lost a cedar in my own backyard. Even sadder than climate change, I feel it's people's refusal to believe it is happening.

Focus, macro and colors

I don't really have any gardens here like I had in Paris ON. I may have to go crawling around in other peoples.

Happy Friday Flower Power

There are two shells here, but compositionally I preferred the second one to create a background shape.

HSoS!

These flowers were in a vase on the sideboard. The light was pouring through the window onto them. I chose a macro focus to show one flower with an especially nice colour glowing in the sunshine.

I saw the lone cyclist in front of the whitewashed wall in Legge, in the Italian region of Puglia.

What is there to see in that deep space........ or is there nothing.....?

Macro Mondays 23/01/17 theme It's A-Peeling To Me.So to begin with I the idea was going to be a simple photo of black tape being peeled from a white background but the results were a little to simple.So next I thought about putting a object behind and have it reveiled by the peeled backed tape but what object was small enough and had something to do with the word peel.Then I had a thought why not photograph my eye.So I taped across a piece of glass cut the tape and peeled it back and the with my camera connected to my computer I used remote capture to try and get the shot I wanted.Easier said than done,with lighting issues,holding the glass,trying to focus whilst looking at the computer screen and taking the shot I gave up and went for the easier option of taking two seperate shots ond putting them together in PS.

several of my recent posts would have worked for this theme

"Yes, more ducks! 😉 I'll be back to catch up with you...have a beautiful day!

I would have to say that out of all the truly magnificent animals we saw on safari in Sabi Sands, South Africa, the leopards were the ones I loved the most. The feeling of being parked in a jeep by a waterhole at night watching this magnificent predator drinking after surviving another day, while the incredibly creepy & eerie sounds of a hyena pack approaching, cannot be described. It can only be felt. I found it fascinating that they don't react to having a torch shone on them, which is a bonus for us shutter-happy photographers.

Fun fact: the leopard is the most elusive of the "big five" legendary animals in South Africa. I was incredibly lucky enough to see one every day for over a week. May be more photos coming ....

Have a great weekend out there & try not to get eaten by a leopard if you can help it ;)
