You practice with your trumpet don't ya?
You practice your guitar till your fingers bleed.
Why?
Because if you're not an idiot you wanna give a wonderful performance with the camera.
- John Free (LA Street Photographer)
Taken at the same time as my 'Blowin in the Wind' shot. This is just a little further down the hill. Since I fixed my camera I have been thinking about my photography differently. Whilst I realise that my camera skills have improved, I still have a lot to learn about seeing a shot in my mind and quickly capturing it. John Free's video uploads have kept me motivated in practicing and improving what I do here.
**this shot didn't have the great light as the previous one shown below. This scene is in a dip, when we drive through here we always lose phone signal, it's a communication black hole! The light is softer and more subdued, giving a more gentle scene. I like this shot, however it has undergone multiple revisions and I'm still not 100% about it.
Thanks for coming to look at my little dusty corner of Flickr :)
With the recent onset of true, winterlike temperatures in our area, the thistle sock has seen an increase in activity. Seems there's at least one or two Goldfinches on it whenever I look outside.
However, on this rather rainy day, while doing some birdwatching, I noticed there were lots of Goldfinches on the thistle sock, so I grabbed a shot before they flew off. I caught eight of them in this shot.
As we await the arrival of Winter Storm Ezra tomorrow, it's a good thing the Goldfinches were practicing their clinging and sharing skills, as those skills may be put to the test over the next two days.
And yes, there's a squirrel photobomber in the background, scarfing up the whole peanuts I'd tossed out earlier.
"Practice makes perfect". When not deployed, Tier 1 operators from the Special Operations Group spend countless hours on the range to perfect their shooting.
Talk about bad life choices. I should have sacked Service Delivery and been a Vet!
Playing with kittens beats sitting on my ass.
I'm so disappointed though that it's not pin-point focus.
So what's I like about this is seeing how time spent on the lilac kitty shows compared to the brown one. I need to fine-tooth combe her outline in much more detail to soften the edges.

Methinks yesterday’s HS sailing team’s practice was partially how to recover from heeling over (is that the correct term?) Also I think I need to bring my BGC to the lake, too
The actual training here had to do with rescuing people from cars swept away due to flash floods. This is the instructor from Northern Virginia.
One more pic below with the following description: Mr. Zoom and I took a nice bike ride down to what is usually the rocky part of the river yesterday. Because of the rains from the remnants of Hurricane Hanna, the water was high. Goochland County was taking advantage of the rushing water to train their new Swift Water Rescue Team.

First time taking the Phantom 4 Pro+ out for ferroequine pursuits, with the intention of capturing the 'purple boi'. If only I'd taken it a split second earlier...
EMR's unique purple powercar, 43274, leads 1C61 (the 1431 Leeds - London St. Pancras Int'l HST) over Fourteen Arches Viaduct, Wellingborough, with fellow celeb powercar 43102 "The Journey Shrinker" in tow.
This is another one of the "gone wild" experiments my friends. And I was thinking to call it: "Going up, and up, and up", but decided for the one above after all. I find it funny looking, and what is a better way to start the week than with fun? Enjoy your day and the week ahead :D
BTW, I am with a normal length - 1.75m or 5.9 ft {{{HUGS}}}
Just some practice with fixing the mesh on the face, makeup, and shadows.

I'm not sure if you all are aware of Zoe's magical skills - she almost never allows me to take pictures of her in action, because I supposedly distract her. This time she made an exception, because the practice was easy enough that my presence didn't bother her. Zoe also told me that she's curently training for something really complex that she's never tried before... I'm really curious what it is, because her skills are quite advanced and I thought she could do all the tricks already!

I'm not 100% satisfied with how this photo came out but I'm not sure what's wrong, either, so I just left it this way. Any constructive criticism is welcome lol, I still have a lot to improve!
Today Little Hope and young Seele are working on the prefect wedding kiss for every one knows its the best part of the show!
"I love you," whispered Hope before giving Seele a small little kiss.
"I love you more," whispered Seele before Kissing Hope 2 more times.
"No... you might love me the same if you kiss me 5 more times," stated Hope Before Kissing Seele 3 more times.
Well as bad timing would have it a ring on little Hopes Sell phone came throw...
"Its Henrietta I really need to go spend time with her she dose not even know we are getting married yet," Explained Hope reading the texted on her little Fox Phone.
"Okay... but just one more kiss before you go?" asked Seele using his puppy dog eyes on her.
"I will see you later tonight we need to practice more kissing than," said Hope with a big smile on her face and Kissing Seele at least 4 more times.
Seele Watched as little Hope jumped off his Lap and darted throw the woods it always amazed him how she could disrepair in to the wood lands with such ease.
Will Henrietta be happy for Hope or Will she even know what it means to be Married?
Will Jose find out what the two little love birds have planned?
Or will they run away to Massachusetts were they let 14 year old boys and 12 year old girls get Married... With Judicial Consent.
(Working on projects. I like to keep about a thousand active projects going at once. Have to be careful to start a bunch more right when I’m about to finish one.)
That embroidered felt cloche I’m copying for Navia made me realize I needed to practice embroidery more. So how about some little headbands to match another project, and of course some matching embroidered boot spats??
It snowed, so that means I really want to get out the doll horses. The weather has been just too cold to do it, but that’s given me time to put together some country riding outfits?
I'm not much for the crowds around an air show anymore, probably never have been. But the coolness of military jets is too strong to miss so I go to practice on the afternoon before. This year the Cleveland Air Show has the USAF Thundbirds. They flew directly in from Nellis and practiced a few maneuvers including several of these opposing passes. That gave me a chance to practice too. They're moving just a little bit faster than the trains that are usually in my viewfinder. I was real impressed with the camera's speed especially focusing; the photographer isn't as quick as he used to be. But got a few with planes in the frame. You see almost as much high end photography gear around planes as a railfan event, with a surprising number of crossover fans.
Yoga. It's not for me. I wish it was - I'd love to be more stretchy and bendy and fitter and more spiritual. I really would. But I'd much rather choose a good run over twisting myself into inconceivable positions.
I do, however, love to watch yoga being practiced, seeing the beautiful bodies slowly lift into handstands, rise up into the downward dog, and so on, and on, and on!

From Wikipedia:
Yoga (Sanskrit, Pāli: योग yóga) refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines that originated in India.[1] The word is associated with meditative practices in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Within Hinduism, it refers to one of the six orthodox (āstika) schools of Hindu philosophy, and to the goal towards which that school directs its practices. In Jainism, yoga is the sum total of all activities — mental, verbal and physical.
Major branches of yoga in Hindu philosophy include Rāja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga. According to the authoritative Indian philosopher Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, yoga, based on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, comprises one of the six main Hindu schools of philosophy (darshanas), together with Kapila's Samkhya, Gautama's Nyaya, Kanada's Vaisheshika, Jaimini's Purva Mimamsa, and Badarayana's Uttara Mimamsa or Vedanta. Many other Hindu texts discuss aspects of yoga, including the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Shiva Samhita and various Tantras.
The Sanskrit word yoga has many meanings, and is derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj," meaning "to control," "to yoke" or "to unite." Translations include "joining," "uniting," "union," "conjunction," and "means." It is also possible that the word yoga derives from "yujir samadhau," which means "contemplation" or "absorption." This translation fits better with the dualist Raja Yoga because it is through contemplation that discrimination between prakrti (nature) and purusha (pure consciousness) occurs.
Someone who practices yoga or follows the yoga philosophy to a high level of attainment is called a yogi or yogini.
