On the building site opposite us, it has been quite an exciting morning. A huge concrete mixer and pouring device creating the base for the first two houses. It must be quite difficult for the builders as they have no access from the front of the houses, and are having to work down the site, house by house. Now, to top it all, the people who own the lane are putting up a 6 ft fence right in front of where the front doors will be.... oh the joys of living around people who like to bend the rules - both the rules of law and the rules of decency!!

I have been wanting to try this shot for some time now and had my first attempt of it about three weeks, however prior to me taking that shot, I took a fall and unknown at the time I had a fractured on two of my ribs…unfortunately I did not get the shot as I could not stand still…
Three weeks later, I thought I would give it another go…I am actually standing on some sort of rock…I got someone to flash me…we then put the lens cap back on, placed an ice fountain between my fingers and set it a light, then removed the cap and repeated this process with my other hand and foot. As my foot was the last bit to hold the ice fountain I was able to leave it longer and get more of a downward flame/sparkle.
I then took the image into PS and used the content aware fill to take out the rock and used the clone tool to make a few adjustments on what was left over. There was some random sparks that came away from the ice fountains and I used the smudge tool to bring it back and tidy it up and to give it a glow effect around the flames coming out my hand.
I know the arc reactor missing but once my core strength comes back I shall try it again, might need to pop to toys r us to buy one, but for now I am going to say that I am on extremis…lol
Looks great when you press 'L'

Flickr Friday theme of Why Not. In this case, a young boy thinks why not go out on my new scooter. It is New Year's Eve, freezing cold and England is locked down in coronavirus restrictions. At least exercise is permitted.

bloomsbury, london;
sunday evening is always something depressing!
but it was somehow different last night, as it rained in the afternoon and stopped in the evening, and i betted it would be the perfect weather for my photography :-) sure enough, i found a lot of good opportunities for photos on every corner of the street.
this photo will be followed by a series of the "after-the-rain" shots.

Today we had light snowfall. It was so pretty to wake up to. Unfortunately it didn't stick around for very long.

Damn you Cloud. 😂 Jisoo is one of the amazing singers and dancers of the hot Kpop group Blackpink. :) What's interesting is that during the detailing phase of the face while zoomed in, when I zoomed out, I was taken aback by what I'm seeing, I said: hang on, I met this face before but that was a million years ago 😂, must've been my subconscious working in auto mode, lol, or either this is a reincarnation case or a Kaguya theory. Very interesting coincidence. Background drawn in reference to the Cherry Blossoms at Meguro, Tokyo. Perspective is equivalent to a 24mm lens at close range. Drawn using ps cc, cintiq 24hd. Next drawing will be Rose' as... Drawing timelapse video tutorial found here: youtu.be/1Fdl5k5Bvng

Ushuaia Adventure: Journey to the End of the World
This collection serves as a visual odyssey through the rugged and ethereal landscapes of Tierra del Fuego and the Antarctic surroundings. The series captures the dual nature of exploration: the intimate, gritty details of the journey and the overwhelming scale of the southern wilderness.
From the solitary trekker overlooking the Beagle Channel to the iconic red and white Les Éclaireurs Lighthouse standing guard against the crashing waves, each frame tells a story of resilience and awe. The narrative transitions from the luxury of an expedition cruise ship navigating through ice-filled waters to the raw reality of a king crab fisherman at work in the freezing rain.
Witness the local inhabitants—Gentoo penguins huddled on pebble shores—and the quiet, frosty details of the native flora. The journey is punctuated by the warmth of a high-altitude camp at dawn and the nostalgic view from the "End of the World" train. This set is a tribute to the spirit of adventure, where nature remains the ultimate protagonist, untamed and magnificent.

On Friday evening I took my 11 year old son into London to look for super cars. It reminds me of my youth, crusing round the bush looking for wild and exotic animals. Except here it is wild and exotic cars. We'd had a very fruitful walk round Nightsbridge and a pizza for dinner and decided to head down to Mayfair on our way home. We jumped on the tube where I spotted Jamie here standing further up the carriage.
Now normally, if I'm out photographing strangers, then that's what I do, at the expense of all else. But there was something about her style that I was totally taken by. I smiled when I saw her leave the train at the same station as us. I smiled even more when I saw her ahead of us, taking the same exit. As she turned up the same street as us I decided that fate had given me enough of a chance and I had to do something about it. My lad had been warned that this might happen and to be fair, he's seen it a few times before so he was un-phased when I accelerated away from him to overhaul Jamie who was walking along quickly, clearly on a mission. This was one of those approaches where I thought I had no chance because she was moving quickly but after I said that I explained why I was stopping her and that I thought she looked so cool she broke into a huge smile and happily agreed to pose.
While she was on the tube, she'd had her jacket over her shoulders but with her hands out of the sleeves. As she left the station she'd put it on properly so here was the tricky bit. I told her that I really wasn't stalking her, but I had been on the same train as her and that I'd loved how she'd had her jacket. She seemed unconcerned by this. Perhaps having a young child in tow allows one to get away with more. Everyone should have one! ;-)
So we snapped a couple of full length shots using the nearby pillars as a vanishing point and then grabbed a quick head shot because I can never resist that. Because I was photographing cars, I had on my Sigma 24-70mm which isn't really sharp enough for portraits and it distorts quite a bit. It's not that bad really but I'm spoilt by my 85mm! So I had to do a bit more sharpening than usual and used the lens correction from Light Room which I don't normally bother with. Shooting at 1000 ISO didn't help the IQ but I'm happy with how this has worked out. I couldn't choose between the two different shots so I did a diptych for the first time in ages. Working with two 24MP images in one file on Photoshop brought it home to me how badly I need to invest in a faster computer!!
Like me, Jamie is from Cape Town in South Africa. She picked up my accent right away. Turns out she is from a suburb called Camps Bay where I lived for a short while in my teenage years. Small world!
Thanks Jamie, it was great meeting and photographing you. Please get in touch if you'd like copies of the pictures.
