This is a remake of an old photo already on my photostream. (See in the comment below).

To create this macro effect, you need to take the lens off the camera and invert it, easier said than done, but can give fun results.

I put this through Topaz Studio for a painted effect.

 

Poor man's macro

Here is the 3rd photo in my Reverse Order series.

I was due for another one of these. :-)

Ardea Cinerea, touch down.

Taken on the road to Perry Sandhills near Wentworth.

 

Made a random turn onto a nearby county road the other day, one I have driven numerous times over the years. Only difference this time was I just happened to be traveling opposite my normal direction. Halfway up a hill I came upon this stunning scene. At first I wondered how I could have missed it after so many passages. After stopping to check it out, I soon noticed that it was all but invisible for a westbound motorist (my normal direction of travel on this road). The dramatic sightline only opened up in the eastbound lane.

 

Thought this was a wonderful metaphor for life. I tend adopt a singular view of things over time. This happens all the time in driving. I often see things as I expect to find them rather than how they truly appear. The human brain has a remarkable tendency to connect the dots in this way. Driving the road in the reverse direction forced my brain to reset and see the landscape from a new perspective.

 

Back in the moment, the dead tree was the personification of pure evil. It loomed over the old barn as if guarding it. Tons of weight, precariously balanced, and capable of dropping black shards of dead wood without notice, ready to impale the unsuspecting. Even the comforting softness of early spring could not ameliorate this scene.

Yesterday my friend Madonna told me she was walking at the edge of the village at sunset when waves of ducks passed overhead, silent except for the sound of their wings against the air. The waterfowl haven't begun their migration - they're the last birds to leave - but they are now staging on local lakes and wetlands in large flocks. I was reminded that this month provides my last chance to see a lot of species that I like to photograph, including the American Avocet, seen above.

 

Most shorebirds depart for their winter habitat sometime in August, but I have photographed the American Avocet here in Saskatchewan in early October. On an August day three years ago, I carried my tripod along the shore of a small, shallow lake, toward three or four dozen avocets, that were feeding at the other end, then sat down and waited. Sure enough, they gradually moved toward me. They were well aware of my presence, and must have decided that so long as I sat quietly, I was not a threat. By then, most of them had changed over into their non-breeding plumage, a somewhat more formal look that I've always liked. Singly and in small groups, they continued foraging as they passed me, first going left to right, and then reversing direction for a second pass. The still water created a perfect background. Voila!

Typically photographers stand on the hill behind, however the odd morning train throws a spanner into the works.

 

Running 26.5 hours behind their original schedule, NR74 and NR75 navigate infamous curves at Yorkeys Crossing nearing Port Augusta on a one-off timed Ghan to Adelaide from Darwin as 4DA8.

 

Owing to a wash away near Katherine, trains were rescheduled approximately 1 day after their intended time.

CERES Community Environment Park, East Brunswick, Victoria

 

The Merri Table is a restaurant in CERES and I was sitting right beneath the sign so couldn't resist a shot. I hope you can all read backwards!!

We gotta reverse all of it. Our politics. Our capitalism. Our all out assault on the environment.

SOO 1003 reverses at County J south of Elkhart Lake, WI.

Located at Mahar Point, the northern point of a narrows separating Dennys Bay from Cobscook Bay in far eastern Maine. The narrows are subject to a reversal of current twice a day, owing to the area's unusually high tides.

Taken during a sunrise shoot yesterday at Bar Beach, NSW, Australia.

 

As always, thanks for any comments, views or favorites, they are much appreciated!

C-GIWD, a de Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter, rolling out on runway 33 at Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport in Markham, Ontario. It was arriving from Trois-Rivieres, Quebec and Charlo, New Brunswick.

 

Serial number 721 first flew on October 27, 1980. It later operated in the United States, Kenya, Australia, Seychelles, South Africa, Algeria and Mexico before returning home to Canada. The 40-year-old looks magnificent.

I did this some years ago and I took off my 50mm lens and shot this image from the reverse side

This is the first photograph of the Reverse/Reverso series. It was while taking and processing this photograph that idea to create a series of photographs around the “reverse” theme started.

This chap skated everywhere in reverse gear showing off his backward driving skills. Picture was taken on ‘Wheels Sunday’; the Sunday of the ‘Manchester Pride Week’.

Sometimes I like to turn upside down certain pictures, especially when some reflections are involved. Not sure why I do that, but it is all part of the fun.

Some tree flowers, shamelessly overprocessed.

Goldentail morays (Gymnothorax miliaris) are usually brown with tiny yellow spots, see here). Every once is a while you find one that is yellow with some brown to form a honeycomb. (Or more precisely, instead of small yellow spots, there are large yellow spots.)

 

This was a small one, maybe 15cm long in total. The trick is to get it to be out of its hiding hole enough to get the strobes to light the moray without hitting the background coral.

From a sunrise shoot at Chalky Beach, Swansea Heads, NSW, Australia.

I had hoped for some cloud cover, but as they say, "be careful what you wish for" because as it turned out there was no colour in the sunrise at all.

None the less, I hope you like these images from this location.

In this shot I tried to highlight the water flowing back.

Thanks for any views, comments or faves on these or any of my images.

Looks like they gave up on this project!

 

Much appreciation for all your views, faves, comments and invitations!
