Here's a shot I tried to load last night, but Flickr wasn't cooperating. I was talking with a woman who does face painting, as she was packing up after a long day. I noticed this page of sketches in front of her; she had used it to practice.
My wife took delivery of a new macro lens today and sent me out to play.I first got shots of a Male Holly Blue but it was on the bare ground, taking minerals from Bird faeces, so not an attractive shot. I also managed shots of a Speckled Wood but not great as it was nervous and I'm out of stalking practice. So for a test run, this little Hover Fly on a Marigold.
I pop on every once in a while to upload something, so......yea. here it is!

Practicing social distancing - the fences at the work site for the new Preston Western Distributor Road linking the M55 to the A 583 at Windy Nook where work continues despite everything. Its on my walk along the preston Guild Wheel
Sketched quickly from the imagination (really just plop down the washes and let it go where it may). I'm using these to practice technique without getting "attached" to the work. I think I'll be doing quite a few of these for a while.

Having fun hanging out in down dog today!! I teach this pose to children quite frequently and I like to set them up opposite me so we can make faces at each other upside down. So, today, I made faces at myself!
The players were preparing for competition.
Taken with Samsung NX300 provided by Samsung Electronics.
I've been using Samsung camera for around three years and I bought four Samsung cameras. Now Samsung provided me with a new Compact System Camera NX300 so I went out to test it last week.

One thing that our camera club participates in during the summer is a panoramic photo contest with other clubs in the surrounding states. I need to practice - there are a ton of things to consider. One of the hardest parts for me is editing them. One good way is to dig up older photos and re-edit them.
My friend Chris had an interesting post on his blog today regarding Panos - you can catch it here.
This one never made it to Flickr, until now. Lincoln Park looking back from North Blvd towards the city. 9 shot HDR and 4 panels. That was 36 total pictures (this is why I say the editing is the hard part). I'd love to hear about any comments - both positive and constructive.
Thanks for looking!

On the St. Charles Streetcar, New Orleans, Louisiana. He was playing that umbrella like a clarinet. Maybe practicing for a later gig . . . .
Near Durness. Did I mention before that this is one of the places where I would like to be buried? ;)

Miss shooting sports so much I go to practices instead of games. Winter sports at Des Moines high schools have been sidelined as the school district continues to have classes online due to COVID-19. But with Winter break now underway, high school teams are at least allowed to practice. So I stopped by East High School as they held their first practice of the year with a new head coach.
Today's airbrushed style pinup photo features Shalyah in this new series with a black moody background. This series looks at the moodier side of pinups, with a dark background and dark clothing making the model stand out. This was a common practice for pinups in the 1950s and into the 1960s from some artists. Look for more of this series over the next few weeks with different gals!

Check out the Dietz Dolls online store where you can find military pinups, classic pinups, the propaganda pinup poster series, and lots more in sizes ranging from 8x10 prints to 24x36 posters!

The Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 50mm f/0.95 is a fascinating lens. Not that sharp, but with such depth of field the sharpness is secondary to the effect. Shooting late into the evening with low ISO is also a big plus. This isn't a Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH, or even a knock-off, but for us mortals, it's a fun lens.
Two young firemen take the hose during training in a parking lot in Richmond, Virginia…They were actually under an overpass on the edge of the parking lot shooting at different junctions of the understructure.
