Just fooling around with my new Nikon D500. A bit of a learning curve. :-)

Fighter jets sometimes use Rainbow Canyon to practice low flying maneuvers. It was amazing to watch them even though we only got to see a couple of flights. The Rainbow Canyon is next to Father Crowleys Overlook on the western side of Death Valley National Park. The canyon is also known as the "Star Wars Canyon".

Coast Guard personnel practice rope egress and entree from a hovering helicopter at the US Coast Guard facility on San Diego bay.

Two weeks before they leave the nest, young ospreys start flapping their wings and trying to get airborne.

 

Müritz National Park, northern Germany.

 

Wenn die jungen Fischadler beginnen, mit den Flügeln zu schlagen,macht sich die Mutter langsam auf den Weg nach Afrika. Der Vater füttert noch zwei Wochen weiter, dann fliegt auch er los. Nun müssen die Jungen allein klarkommen, und die lange Reise ins Winterquartier überstehen. Faszinierend, dass alle getrennt fliegen. Das Elternpaar sieht sich auch in Afrika nicht, aber kehrt im Folgejahr im Abstand von nur 1-2 Tagen zum Mecklenburger Nest zurück.

Just after cheer practice back in highschool.

只要拿筆兩小時就得休息一小時,手痛死了。

the young girls practice dancing looking at the mirror which is in the opposite wall.

thanks for every one for views, faves, comments.

The real gales of November pack a larger punch than this, but the waves made for some nice shots today.

Photo of my daughter in piano practice

Beryl is trying to recreate the portal she used to go back in the past.

 

She's a bit rusty but it looks like it's going well...

 

This picture is an introduction picture to my next BJD wich I will get from my boyfriend for Christmass... a new entity will enter the world through this portal... evil or good, we shall know soon

  

>.< I spent 2 hours to make this and it still doesn't look like I wanted it to look.. but at least it looks better then my previous 5 attempts xD

I listen to her heartbeat he said..."until her flesh becomes the music...and it plays my favorite song"

Practice play at home for my very first performance at Little Yoshiwara

Snooker practice

 

Stage II

Pot all reds, each followed by a colour.

Reset everytime you miss or hit a ball other than the one you're attempting to pot.

 

(I think this night my best run was 7 reds and 7 colours. A far cry from my best run of 11 reds and 10 colours.)

 

With a total of 36 pots required to clear the table, my 'average best run' is weak at about 14 and my all-time best run of 21 is so close, yet so far. I've read that to be taken seriously as a snooker player, one should be able to clear this practice without too much difficulty. AND, once you've cleared it, you're supposed to reset it and keep going until you miss. I dunno. Maybe I could get there one day if I didn't drink while practicing, but then where would the fun be in that?

Someday I'll learn to fly.

i drew that just a little foreshortening practice

More portrait practice in pencil :) I drew it on A3 paper and used 2B pencil only.

My word for 2025 was create. I created many things and learned some new skills. For 2026 I've settled on the word PRACTICE. I'm hoping to take some of the skills I used to create last year, practice and make them perf---ok, maybe not perfect, but better at least!. Today I practiced a bit of embroidery.

Serene photos to relax you as you go through this global pandemic. Stay safe and healthy, my friends.

This little one stood up and started flapping it's tiny wings...

Day 96/365 - So close...practice golf ball.

Diárioooooooo!!!!

Estou tãooo feliz com o violino. Ele é maaaaais bonito que o cello. Mas o maaaais importante é que foi presente do Solle. É como se ele tivesse me dado uma partezinha dele pra que eu cuidasse. Eu vou cuidar disso aqui como se fosse um bebê! Vou andar pra todo o lado com ele, e cuidar dele, e dormir com ele. Bem... se eu dormisse eu bem que poderia dormir com ele. É... eu não consigo dormir direito. Eu só consigo tirar cochilos curtos cheios de sonhos e pesadelos. Só durmo de verdade quando o Solle está por perto, mas se eu durmo ele não dorme. Todas as vezes que fui pro quarto dele dormir ele não dormiu. Ficou acordado a noite toda. Eu sei disso porque uma dessas noites eu fiquei acordada sem que ele soubesse e vi que ele nem cochilou. Parecia preocupado. Ele sempre parece preocupado.... E ele nunca sorri... Queria que ele risse e fosse feliz. Talvez se eu aprender a tocar o violino direitinho ele fique contente. Quem sabe eu não ganho um abraço também?! Hihihihihi! *///////* Então preciso treinar, treinar e treinar bastante!

Tchau, Diário!

Week No. 11: Portraits of Emotion

 

PS: disclaimer; this is archery practice with adult supervision

 

Evilyn's daily practice with her telekinesis powers is really paying off... from levitating her sister Ivy, she's now moved on to levitating me!

I'm hoping that daily practice might help me improve my photography, so i started a non-dolly flickr on 2nd January. I'm not calling it a 365 project because i doubt i'll get that far! but i'm doing as much as i can.

 

This was my first attempt at this kind of self portrait, and it wasn't mega successful. I had some technical issues that meant it couldn't come out quite how i wanted it to, but i decided not to re-shoot it, so i'm putting it on here as it's technically a dolly photo :)

 

Edit: In case you're wondering, there is very little editing in this scene, the in-camera photo is not very different at all - my dress covered almost all of the stool i was leaning back on so there wasn't much to edit out ;)

He actually had a guy come up and tell him to play him a tune. The guy was more impressed that he could play "Californication" pretty well.

Went to the National Naval Aviation Museum to watch the Blue Angels practice

I saw some snapshots of Kanye West x Adidas fashion show, and I really love their tone of colors. So I decided to use it for reference. I need to practice more on different kinds of skin tones.

Actually took my Canon R out for an airing today. Decided to practice slow shutter speeds and ICM. My biggest challenge was how I changed from AV to TV - not a clue. In my defence I've rarely used it since lockdown 1.

In for a fairly rough landing ~ Roseate Spoonbill

******************************************************************************

The Roseate Spoonbill is a wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family. This species feeds in shallow fresh or coastal waters by swinging its bill from side to side as it steadily walks through the water, often in groups. The spoon-shaped bill allows it to sift easily through mud. It feeds on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs, newts and very small fish ignored by larger waders. The Roseate Spoonbill nests in shrubs or trees, often mangroves, laying 2 to 5 eggs, which are whitish with brown markings. Immature birds have white, feathered heads, and the pink of the plumage is paler. They are extremely agile high in the treetops. (They are often confused with the flamingo.)
