the old adage, check out the rear of the eatery to gauge the quality of the establishment can sometimes lead to more than what you bargained for
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
The insect portraits of Levon Biss at the Microsculpture exhibition - Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
Watch the video, it's fascinating:-

Back to Big Tree forest and a walk through the forest. While it is a pleasant and peaceful trek with birds singing, my eyes are not seeing any compositions. After reaching a point deep into the hike, it is time to turn a round.
But, it is now one hour later and the forest has taken on a very different look. The suns rays have moved, and some of what was lit is now in shadow. More importantly for a composition, some of what was in shadow, is now lit.
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.
Winter on the prairie, rime iced green-headed coneflowers. Shot with a Helios 44.3 reverse lens setup.
After the storm seascape, sunset flight over the channel at Ettalong Beach on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia.
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.

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.
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.
Galeforce gusts reverse the flow at Wenty Falls. As you look at this, try to imagine the sound of a jet engine revving up. That's the way it felt. Crazy days.
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.
