DPi's on track during the afternoon practice session. Didn't help as the 7 only managed a 5th place and the 6 never made it. Great looking livery though.

Adjacent to the mural mile floodwall during the annual Paint Louis sanctioned graffiti event, this individual appears to be practicing or testing some paint on this building. Thanks for looking.
Toby is tolerable with hats, but Riley is a mixed bag. Yesterday (when I was just practicing and not shooting at all) he was excellent.
Today - in front of my iPhone on its tripod (so - minimal setup - see stream for cute little iPhone tripod I use) and he was... unimpressed.
However, since I was using the kitchen lights and NOT the flash - I could take as many pictures (via remote) as I wanted.
Ha!
This was the best in the box (with only TWO that had both dogs with hats and me not in the picture).
(and yes, my dogs, my floors, and my cabinets are all the same color. This is actually where I shoot all my "studio" photographs - hence the usage of backdrops)

"Aim just a bit higher Lillywind!" Bree called out as she lobbed yet another snowball toward the aspiring beater. "Best if you hit it straight on!"
Human's haven't really been too powerful as wizards. Generally, they live too short to become very good. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule though, and Leoben Gladomain is one of those. Well-versed in the arts of magic, this wizard is feared by the evil and held in high honor by the masses. Even nobles ask his assistance sometimes. But, like everyone, Leoben must practice new spells. After all, he doesn't want to accidentally turn a princess into a frog, right?

The MOC was better in my head. End of story. : P
Oh, inspired by my good friend Digger.

These shots are for practicing photographing water as long exposure or by averaging several shots.
This is a learning experience for me.
Thank you for your faves and kind comments, very much appreciated - deaR♥‿♥
Got bored while doing some work the other day, so I decided to take an 'old friend' out to catch up for a bit. Notice anything else music-related in this shot other than the objects in the middle? Nothing really impressive for the composition this time around, just an impromptu shot (ambient light) to deal with the stress.
Two papers down, six more to go, and five of them to tackle within the next week, sigh. I'm actually missing those benches along that walkway. Counting down to the days of freedom, and the end of yet another disastrous semester. It's somewhat unnerving when you realise your usually cheerful and bubbly friends (from school) have all become somewhat sullen and quieter. I really hate how stress wipes the smiles off the faces of people.
As for the title, it just seemed apt for this shot because that's really what happens in real life. We aren't always lucky enough to succeed with just one try, but things improve as we repeat them and become more familiar. I guess it can be applied to photography too, I think, be it the actual photo taking, or the post-processing. If we don't nail a shot the first time, analysing how things could have been done better tends to bring better results when we attempt it again.
Also seen here.
Just because the rodent season is over, it is never sufficient to rest on one's laurels. A successful season past is no guarantee for the future. Every season presents an opportunity to work on skills. For example, a snow encrusted twig makes a more than suitable substitution for a prideful presentation to one's partner. While a bit less tricky to catch, other hazards clearly exist complicating the activity.
I would never call myself a car nut or car enthusiast, to be honest. A friend and I saw an advert for a car show some time back and we decided it was a good way to spend a warm Sunday afternoon. Our very first time at a vintage car show and it didn't disappoint.
So I have decided to start doing more things outside of my regular comfort zone. Never in a million years did I think about cars as a subject but trying something new is always Let's see how that goes. My blog post explains in a bit more detail and I've included the link to it in this caption.
Let's end this series on a high note. So I tried to practice my editing skills again. Like the last shot, this isn't the original image. This is another composite because I removed the background which was full of cars and people and changed the boring sky to this gorgeous blue. A lot easier than the last one because I didn't have to wonder about the windows because of the open hood. I must admit that I had so much fun with these edits and I'm planning a few new things like double exposures. Should I do more? Tell me what you think below. See if you can name that car too. ;)
To all of you, enjoy the weekend and have an awesome week ahead, wherever you are!

I hope all our US friends had a wonderful Memorial Day holiday. 💗💗
Daisy and I kept it low-key....but I made sure my sweetie kept pretty just in case. You never know when I might need something from the store at a moments notice. 😉

Hi guys!
Fortunately, my motivation for creating new builds hasn’t faded away yet, so today I am back with another MOC, which was created during last 4 weeks. It is so special for me because it resembles my way that I am now following, in my science, sport and passion career. Also it was good for me to show how I am feeling inside right now by capturing my thoughts with plastic bricks.
That is why I show you a little diorama, which consists of the master practicing even though he accomplished more than anyone in the particular field.
