For Perfect Purple Saturday HPPS!
Taken with the Canon 450D using the 55-250mm lens, which is a wonderful visual aid - I can actually see birds in my garden!! Post processing: square cropped, layer of purple tint, erased lightly around the eye and pale feathers near the foot.
What started as an exercise in photographing reflections in liquid, gave me an idea for a new set: Idioms. I've never really understood this saying, and to me it seems a bit dismissive, as though the cause of upset is not significant or valid enough to warrant the upset. Anyway - more weird sayings to come ...
Thanks to ASfotos for the beautiful texture
My first experiments in Tilt Shift Miniature Faking. The picture was not originally taken with this technique in mind, so the depth of field is not ideal. The result is not as miniaturesque as a typical tilt-shift fake, but I still like how it highlights the ferry in the middle.
This is the original image.
Want to learn how to do it? Here is a great tutorial.
Got up this morning in a playful mood (I love being retired) and was definitely thinking "out of the box" - picked up the Nikon and put on the 10-24, which I haven't done in a while. Sipped some coffee.
The light streaming through the windows invigorates. The sun was shining brilliantly, although the air was heavy with humidity, but it wasn't raining (yay) and the sky was void of cloud cover (rare the past month).
Shooting with a wide angle is fun! Hit the inside of the house first and then went outdoors, but those shots can wait for another day.
I kept the fun going with Photoshop... Five For Fun.
---------------------
Post processing was done the same on all images. Each is as framed and reduced to 180dpi from 300. No other images or color were added. Toning, saturation and filters were all used in the same order for each photo. Spot saturation and toning on each for finished results.
When I was taking the photograph the other day of the spider and its web in the wheelbarrow, my first shot was out of focus and all I got was a fuzzy shot of the inside of the wheelbarrow. I tried some Post Processing playing and got this cool map looking abstract, or whatever it is! Just liked it and wanted to share! 😍
I wish I could say I took this with my X-T1 which has a 1/32,000sec. electronic shutter, but this is just a simple, old-fashioned Photoshop composite...hehe! The truth is I've got several good (very sharp) images of the Egyptian goose taken with the 7D + EF 300mm L IS + EF 1.4 TC II that I didn't want to go to waste, so...
.
I don't often post photos with an excess of post-processing effects but I liked how this image turned out. The combination of color cast, texture, and subject all worked together very nicely for me, so here it is.

We call these Chair-O-Planes in Ireland but I am not sure what they are called in the US. Wikipedia says they are also called swing carousels or wave swingers but I have never heard these terms

A breeding male American Goldfinch visits the sunflower seed feeder in the yard, almost daring me to take his photo.

Herbe de la pampa
L'adjectif spécifique selloana lui a été donné en 1818 par le naturaliste Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), en hommage au botaniste et naturaliste allemand Friedrich Sellow qui étudia la flore d'Amérique du Sud, en particulier celle du Brésil.
Cortaderia selloana, commonly known as pampas-grass,
is a flowering plant native to southern South America, including the pampas after which it is named.
Der Begriff "Ziergras" stammt nicht aus der Botanik.
hier: Pampasgras aka Cortaderia Selloana
... after the German botanist and naturalist Friedrich Sellow.
...
The feathery flower head plumes, when dried, are widely used in flower arrangements and other ornamental displays.
Das Amerikanische Pampasgras (Cortaderia selloana) oder Silber-Pampasgras
ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Familie der Süßgräser (Poaceae).
Das Schneiden der meisten Ziergräser sollte im Frühjahr vorgenommen werden und nicht im Herbst, weil ansonsten Wasser in die Halme gelangen und zu Fäulnis führen kann. Das spätere Zurückschneiden im Frühjahr schützt die Pflanzen außerdem vor Kälte und hilft ihnen zu überwintern.
Wegen der auffallenden Farben und imposanten Wuchs-Formen ihrer Blätter, Blüten oder Halme auch im Herbst und Winter sind Ziergräser (englisch: ornamental grass) ein beliebtes Gestaltungselement in der Gartenkunst und künstlerischen Gartengestaltung.
Ziergras-Arten eignen sich als Solitär-Pflanzen, als Sichtschutz für den Stauden- und Steingarten oder auch zur Verbindung verschiedener Pflanzenarten wie Blumen und Sträucher.
Auch als Kübelpflanzen für den Balkon, die Terrasse oder den Wintergarten sind Ziergräser beliebt.

The surgery room at Beelitz. The graffiti are only a few weeks old. What a shame, I would have loved to see it "clean".

This photo was cool, but the sky was blown out white. I tried my hand at replacing the sky. Which I had never done before. I don't think it's too horrible. Yes it looks totally photoshopped but oh well. I think it's cool.
On my walk one day, I ran into Mr. Reeves, a neighbor from down the road, on his bicycle. He is 80 years old and has survived cancer, heart attacks, and other physical ailments, over the years. We stood and talked about a lot of topics, from being a landowner to bicycles and nature, and from children to travel and health. Mr. Reeves never fails to ask me about my husband and my sons, whenever he sees me. That's how the discussion begins: "How's Angelo?" Angelo and Mr. Reeves are both cancer survivors. Plus, they are very much alike...soft spoken, kind, introspective, and funny. I asked permission to take his photo and he said, "Of course!" Then he warned me that not everyone wants their photograph taken. Then we discussed taking photographs. After about 30 minutes, he told me he had to get home to check on Margy, the love of his life! I'm crazy about his smile!

Religious incense sticks have a certain special aroma to them ... especially when they are lit by the dozens and placed into a bowl of ash with an intention and a prayer. The best part about having experienced this smell while traveling is how you can be instantly transported to a temple abroad, simply by lighting one of these sticks at home. That, or by walking past a temple in your home town.

Tonight, after work, I went to the opening of Nick Cave: The Exhibition at the Museum in Perth. So I was inspired to choose a song by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds to accompany this image for Sad Bokeh Friday and Shades of Yellow Friday.
Sorrow's child sits by the river
Sorrow's child hears not the water
Sorrow's child sits by the river
Sorrow's child hears not the water
And just when it seems as though
You've got strength enough to stand
Sorrow's child all weak and strange
Stands waiting at your hand
Sorrow's child steps in the water
Sorrow's child you follow after
Sorrow's child wades in deeper
Sorrow's child invites you under
And just when you thought as though
All your tears were wept and done
Sorrow's child grieves not what has passed
But all the past still yet to come
Sorrow's child sits by the water
Sorrow's child your arms enfold her
Sorrow's child you're loathe to befriend her
Sorrow's child but in sorrow surrender
And just when is seems as though
All your tears were at an end
Sorrow's child lifts up her hand
And she brings it down again

Marsa Alam (o Marsà ‘Alam, in arabo مرسى علم) è stato fino a pochi anni fa un piccolo villaggio di pescatori situato in Egitto, sulla costa ovest del Mar Rosso.
Negli ultimi anni, a seguito dell'apertura dell'aeroporto internazionale (codice ICAO: HEMA, codice IATA: RMF) nel 2001, è cresciuto rapidamente fino a divenire una popolare destinazione turistica, come lo sono già Sharm el Sheikh e Hurghada.
Marsa Alam è situata in prossimità del Tropico del Cancro, dove il Mar Rosso incontra il deserto del Sahara, e si presenta ricca di palmeti e mangrovie, con un mare ricco di pesce per via della presenza della barriera corallina. Quest'ultima è molto rinomata tra i subacquei per via dei molti siti d'immersione ancora incontaminati, in cui si possono incontrare facilmente delfini (del genere stenella rostrata), dugongo e squali martello.

Marsa Alam (Arabic: مرسى علم) is a town in south-eastern Egypt, on the west coast of the Red Sea. It is currently seeing increasing popularity as a tourist destination and development including the opening of Marsa Alam Airport in 2001.
Marsa Alam is situated near the Tropic of Cancer where the Arabian Desert meets the Red Sea, and it has the appearance of a tropical paradise with its palm trees, mangroves and sea coasts fringed with barrier coral reefs. It has already gained a strong reputation amongst scuba divers due to its numerous and unspoilt diving sites both along the coast and offshore. Sightings of spinner dolphins, dugongs and hammerhead sharks are a frequent occurrence for those who venture into its waters.
