I saw this Red Deer on the way at home through Salzburg road,

taken from Bus, every body wanted to see it !

Thanks for visiting for all my Flickr friends - have a pleasant week!

We adopted them today.

That's what happens, when I go shopping with my daughter ... ;)

Many thanks to all :)

You ran so long on empty

With nothing left but love

You might've come unraveled

But you're still beautiful

Damaged, it tore you apart

You didn't wanna fight

Damaged, soft to the touch

If they could see inside

You're

Crushed, crushed, crushed

Crushed velvet

Crushed, crushed, crushed

Crushed velvet

Fear not, I haven't forsaken male form photography and I'll be doing shots of men again soon. All you lovely gay men that I know are following me need not run off. 😉

Here is Cindy again, on her favorite place on the wardrobe.

Her magic green eyes are real. This glowing green is only to see in a special angle to the light.

Today, she was sleeping for hours on this place, she was awake about a noise and I had my camera with the 19mm objective just in my hand and hold the cam to her face :-)

I’ve always loved how the dandelion gets more beautiful in its decaying state, the dainty seeds just float away, carrying the wishes and dreams bestowed upon them.

A miniature! If you’re like me, you’ll need to put on your glasses to appreciate this!

I took it with a 75-300mm lens from some distance away. These friends are gathered under the warning sign at the end of the jetty at Bearskin Neck, Rockport Massachusetts.

I couldn’t really see what they were doing, but it looked like they were having fun!

In front of my window I have set my selfmade squirrels-feeder and filled with a lot of walnuts.

I saw this squirrels in my kitchen and tried to take a good shot through the window (the squirrels are very fast). Sadly it is not really sharp - but a little bit funny :-) What do you think?

ISO 1600 (1/30s) was sadly not enough for a better shot...

An early morning photo at Plum Island, Massachusetts, looking across the Ipswich River.

The softness in the background reminds me of old jigsaw puzzles.

Apps: Photoshop and Quickshot. I’ve lowered the contrast and black point a little bit in Photos.

Opweg naar huis zag ik in de verte de frontlichten van een 6400 dichterbij komen. Het bleek de UC naar Onnen tezijn, die blijkbaar een half uur vertraging had. Normaal passeert deze Harderwijk altijd tegen drie uur.

Het werd dus een quickshot langs het hek. Op vrijdag is het bijna altijd een kort treintje met 1 of 2 wagens. Dit keer zat er echter achter de trekkende 6414, de zwarte 189 090 die in opzending meeliep, plus nog vier ketelwagens.

Omdat Onnen zonder 6400 zat, werd in Amersfoort de 6414 voor de trein geplaatst en reed de trein daarom niet met electrische tractie naar Onnen. Hoewel, eigenlijk wordt een 6400 ook electrisch aangedreven, de vier tractie motoren worden nl. gevoedt door een dynamo, die op zijn beurt aangedreven wordt door de dieselmotor. Daarom is het een DE-6400.

Hoe dan ook, een leuk kort gevarieerd treintje, met van dichtbij tochwel een forse neus.

Kurz bevor ich diese Aufnahme gemacht habe, sind diese beiden Schwäne vom Wasser des Nord-Ostsee-Kanal aus gestartet. Ich hatte mich geärgert, weil ich kurz zuvor meine Kamera gerade wieder eingepackt und mir meine Handschuhe angezogen hatte. Dann sah ich aber, dass die beiden eine "Platzrunde" über dem Kanal drehten und direkt auf mich zuflogen. Mir blieb zum rausholen und einstellen der Kamera kaum Zeit, dann waren sie schon über mich hinweg. Das Ergebnis seht ihr hier.

The red color pop is mostly coming from Hipstamatic filters. I switched out the sky using Quickshot and Pixelmator, smoothened out some noise in Lightroom, made some adjustments in Photos (iPad Pro), and then framed in Snapseed to finish.

Only 3 x 600s - Thanks to the cloudy Sky

But it´s the first for this Winter, so I have to show it :-))

nothing's compared to a relaxing night near the campfire, with the sounds of the waves crushing nearby in your private beach

Started in Hipstamatic and then a sky change in Quickshot. Refinements using Pixelmator, Photoshop, Photos, and Snapseed.

Lovely building inside and out. Originally built in 1875.

This is in the “French Hill” section of Nashua, which is where I was raised. “French Hill” takes its name from having a high concentration of French speaking Canadian immigrants. By the time I moved away during my mid-20’s, most had already left but the name lives on.

i was going home on my scooter, when i stop at a red fire sign, and saw this beautiful sky, so i took my camera and shoot. then the fire turned green !

Quickshot.

This Beauty came down in my garden - my Birdgun was sharp. Shot! - Enjoy!

Getting the canoe ready for the portage.....a quick shot of the sunset.

Series of Canada Day canoe postings.

Another adult bookstore in Garden Grove, CA. "Movie Rooms"--I shudder just thinking about it.

Here's a text I sent to my brother Dan while waiting to get this shot:

"Standing outside an adult bookstore called Hip Pocket. Cute huh. No I'm not going inside! Taking a picture of the sign though. I needed to look busy until a patron drove away."

Then a second text a few moments later:

"Wow this place gets a lot of traffic."

I stood there for a couple minutes while different cars drove in and out. I didn't want anyone to see me taking pictures there! Finally I just snapped this and left. The fellow in black was sweeping up the parking lot.

SERIES:

There's a lot more on the property than just the train. There is the old plantation house, the museum as well as the distillery. On this occasion, we are only dealing with the newest attraction, which is the train.

I don't normally take photos in such harsh light, but I was exploring the grounds after our ride and waiting for the train to come back around for the next trip. I couldn't resist this shot, even with the fence in the way. :D Always remember that yours shots won't always be perfect or the way you envision them. It's more important to catch memories, rather than perfection.

And there goes the train on another journey... I couldn't help but watch it go off into the distance.

To all of you, hope you enjoyed the weekend and have an awesome week ahead, wherever you are! Let me know what you think!

Have I mentioned how much I love this song? Blue Oyster Cult trips me out. They have this tinge of melancholy/wistfulness to their songs that I find irresistible.

"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men." - Herman Melville

------

I have finally reached my Friday and after the week I've had in the office, I must say it's well deserved. This has been one of the most hectic and chaotic weeks and I'm honestly looking forward to a few days away from the madness.

Anyway, I took exactly two pictures today, one where the focus was off and this one, while it's not my best work but it still isn't terrible so I'm going with it. It at least had pretty back-lighting and doesn't really give away just how chilly it was while I was out and about.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

A quick shot through the window and a dangerous walk at this moment, because my cat Pupsi was in this time outside on "police patrol".

I was just taking some shots (with the Canon EF 70-200 F4L USM on the Sony A7II) of my cute cat "Cindy" in front of the window as the squirrel came on the fence...

I didn't plan for this Eclipse, with special filters or anything, but we still had a good time. We made pinhole cameras which projected the eclipse sharply onto white cardboard, and followed it that way.

But I did, at one point at about 85% totality, quickly point my camera at the sun and shoot. This is what I got.

The star effect must be from the eclipse itself... the moon plus atmosphere plus lens must have created that illusion.

But what baffled us was the perfect tiny little image of the eclipse which appeared down below the image of the sun itself.... you can zoom in on it, and there it is... the eclipse!

In the comments I have a photo of the cool phenomenon of the spaces between the leaves on the trees creating pinhole cameras of their own.... and projecting the image of the eclipse onto the driveway, over and over again. I wish I had thought to sweep the leaves away, but I didn't.

You have probably all seen photos like these already... maybe hundreds of times... but here is my little contribution!

I have learned, from Steven Hromnak, in a comment below, that the star effect is achieved by using a wide angle lens, and stopping way down (25mm is pretty wide angle, but not hugely... and f25 is stopped down pretty far!).

and i should be sleeping like a log.

I use to have a very huge addiction to sleeping pills. I have now stop taking them. However they are always around for those just in case nights. I have not taken one in almost two years. But I do miss the peaceful sleepy time. Night flickr friends. Im out naturally lol

I really like this camera, but the viewfinder is so inaccurate, it's going to take some getting used to. I'm slowly figuring it out.

This is a little grocery store in Long Beach, CA. Bodega means warehouse. I love Long Beach.

I'm off for 2 weeks to do uni interviews and see my girlfriend down south. So I'm all packed and due to having to take my portfolio I have had to take a suit case.... I DONT EVEN OWN A SUIT! :S
