Istanbul.
You see those balloons? Along the waterfront they have tables with loaded guns and I think you can pay to shoot the balloons. Yep.
If you practice hard enough .. could you achieve anything?
Deep in the basement in this old civic building are the cells, they have an almost 'facility' feeling about them. Wonderful leisurely day with Brother Barnabus and the meeting of 'Pam' . Un Invited
So this is my first attempt at putting together a collage style photo composed of multiple different layers captured at different windlights. Like a stack. I need to work on controlling light better so I can get highlights rather than just different colors. I kinda like it though!
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
This one is actually from a couple of months back. Recently I've been making an effort to train myself in the art of rope bondage. And with the help of a lot of examples on Flickr, and my friend Linda Lovelace in particular, I've had some degree of success. As Daisy can attest, we've had literally dozens of practice sessions, where I try various techniques and see how secure it is by having Daisy do her best to get loose. The goal being to get to a point where both she and I know she is totally secure, and unable to get free without my help. We don't want our little lady to feel insecure, now do we?? 😜
Anyway, since it was a learning experience and not to the level I would prefer, I haven't posted any of the photos. But I suppose this session wasn't too bad.....so I will post of few shots here and there this week.
If you are curious as to the point of this position, we were playing a old college drinking game called "Hi Bob!". You know that game where you watch old Bob Newhart Show reruns and do a shot every time someone says "Hi Bob!"?? (Yeah, I'm probably showing my age here...) Well I thought of a neat variation on the theme. We watched several episodes, and every time someone said the magic word, Daisy got a shot....with my paddle. And who could blame me....isn't that just a deliciously inviting target??? 😍
..but it also fills the memory cards and hard drives pretty fast ツ
Thanks to skilled Even in the Moskusguiden company, I managed to take my first usable panned photos on the workshop in Greece this week, like of this adult Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus).
But all the practice and series of slow shutter photos following pelicans in action, almost filled all the 10 memory cards I brought with me (and had thought was way too many) ツ I ended up with nearly 13.000 photos, but still I was among those who took the fewest (!) I hope sorting out and deleting the thousands of bad ones will go fast ツ
I also took many nice portraits of the birds that I look forward to show later on.

Drummers practice on the battlements of Edinburgh Castle before a performance of The 2015 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo
A little practice goes a long way. While I haven't been doing much practice in the saddle this past week because of spraining my shoulder, I've still managed to get some training done with the baby boy. He's been worked in a Pessoa to encourage him to work deep, because as a big, long, horse who has been used to thundering around on his forehand, he needed to work more on rocking onto his hindquarters and engaging properly underneath. I've also been free-jumping him over cavaletti, particularly focusing on bounce jumps for him, because nothing teaches a horse to get back onto his hindquarters and stay there like having to jump a grid.
It seems to have paid dividends, with our practice session at Evergarden over the jump course coming in at what I think is a very respectable 62.09. I've no idea how it compares to everyone else, but I think it's around the fastest Foxtrot and I are capable of completing the course - in this case, I think his being as tall as he is works against him, as the distances in some of the double elements are a bit more than a bounce, and a bit less than a stride. With a smaller horse, you might get a stride in, which can help your horse center himself, but I think for Foxtrot, I'd have to ask for a longer, shallower, jump on the first element to land him in bounce distance for the second elements.
Either way, I'm super proud of the progress Foxtrot has made in such a short period of time, and I'm excited to see how he improves with more time to train him.
Ever since I became a Flickr member I've enjoyed the gorgeous Bald Eagle pictures of, for instance Imtoootall, Doug LLoyd, Nikographer, Fella-1 and Garnite (to name a few...).
I long to go to the places they live/visit, see the eagles with my own eyes, but it seems that my wishlist of 'must see before I die'-places only grows longer since I'm on Flickr and the time left only becomes shorter.. :-)
But.... there are vague plans to go to Vancouver Island in autumn. I've heard from a friend that there seem to be a lot of these flying beauties around there.....
Meanwhile, last sunday I went with friends and their kids to Beekse Bergen in Holland. Apart from it being a lovely day which really lifted the spirits of us sunstarved people in the Netherlands (:-), they had a wonderful show with birds of prey.
So here was my chance to practice a little! You might call it a small miracle that I haven't hit anyone on the head with the camera and lens but I was só eager to get at least one shot right!
Ok, it might not (yet) be the real stuff, and it doesn't come near the quality of the above mentioned gentlemen's shots, but still I've enjoyed seeing this wonderful eagle fly enormously. (and at least it felt real !!! :-) )

About
I've put a 'CANON 70-200mm f/4L USM Lens' on lay buy, so I thought I'd do some practice shots at around 70mm with my trusty kit lens!
I don't plan on using the new glass for landscapes, but there will be sometimes when I will, and I want to challenge myself to work within this focal length, tighter crops etc
- ISO 100, f9, 1/320, 70mm
- Canon 75-300 Kit lens.
- Tripod.
Processing
- Off camera.
- 'Landscape' calibration in Lightroom 2.2.
- A small 'photoshopped' bird for a bit of fun, (bird shots are taken at same location).
Practice makes perfect!
