My nephew and I love searching for feathers when we go out walking - it's like finding treasure. We both have quite a collection. This one is absolutely tiny, and I think it dropped off a rosella. We have the most beautiful, brightly coloured birds here in Australia. Each time I see one I haven't come across before, it gets a tick in my bird book.
Macro Mondays - "In a bottle". HMM!
7 Days With Flickr - Free theme (Mondays)
I found this taken the same time as another way back in my photo stream where happily i recorded what lens was used. Shot with Nikon- D850 with a Helios 44-2 using an m42 adapter. Been discussing the attributes of this lens with a friend and the reason for me uploading it now. I intend digging out this lens as the weather forecast is poor but I don't have any flowers and we try not to go into shops if we can help it...

A metaphor for our times, perhaps, when the world seems upside down. I just received an email from Bruce Percy, who wrote of inverting his photos (a lot better than this ;-) And hoping to sell his work. (www.brucepercy.com link off Flickr.) He calls it reinterpreting the image. I call it fooling around on an overcast morning.
This is a new crocus bloom from yesterday morning, taken using a translucent umbrella and tripod. I used an invert tool in Photoshop and then added a slight yellow hue. Just an experiment. No need to comment. I'm just a basic user of Photoshop. No knowledge about all of those little tools and layers. Looks a bit similar to a negative.
Surrounded by the shield of happy air
Swaying to the whistling winds
Away from the worldly chaos
I shall lay my head over them
Take me to the beds of flowers...

And there it can still be bright quite strong ;-) A certain magic lives in these objects and this has a very special charm for me.

Und da kann es noch ganz schön kräftig leuchten ;-) Eine gewisse Magie wohnt diesen Objekten bei und diese übt für mich einen ganz besonderen Reiz aus.

#LookingCloseOnFriday! / #Magical
We finally have frost. I love to watch the progression of these lanterns from green to orange to porous where the red seed appears.
In 2017 we planted three small perennial plants of Physalis alkekengi, (aka bladder cherry, Chinese lantern, Japanese-lantern, strawberry, groundcherry, or winter cherry). I love the cheery orangish lantern-shaped paper-like pod or husk around each bright round seed.
Now we have many new volunteer plants in addition to those we planted. Another fun photo to take advantage of this morning's frost, with camera, tripod splayed, and coffee. And reading no news!
My submission for the FlickrFriday theme topic Minimum. My interpretation of Minimum is the lowest amount of something that serves the purpose of its being. On the surface, this image is about the minimum amount of candlelight that creates the atmosphere. Then it is the minimum amount of ambient light from neon signs filtering through the plastic covers of this makeshift roadside dining place. It is also about the minimum amount of social distancing we have to have to safely live our lives during this pandemic.

Hello Everyone!
I was experimenting with shallow DoF when I took this picture last year. Then I used an effect from Topaz Studio in hopes to gain a bit more dreamy look. I'm not sure that the image feels totally finished, but this is what I've done so far. Your feedback is welcomed, as always!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment.
Have a wonderful day and Easter weekend!

Day 346/365:
Definitely Dreaming - Dreaming of...A White Christmas
We rarely have snow here now, at least not enough to settle. So I took advantage, wrapped up warm grabbed my walking stick, a couple of baubles and my camera with Lensbaby Velvet 56 and set off into the fields at the end of our road. It was a difficult walk but I got the shot I had envisaged so was a happy bunny.
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart, and you'll never walk alone ..... Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday - HMBT!
Again a classic point of view of a classic subject. It seems I like it the classic way ... Since I am on Flickr I learned that it is perfectly fine to imitate other photographers .... the variation comes through imperfect imitation ;) The title and quote I took from a Pink Floyd song, I like the lyrics. Hope it works with the image, for me it does. Just a tryout.
Thanks to all my great Flickr friends ... for all your comments, encouragement, faves and inspiration you give ...

When I took this picture, it was just before. Just before Corona defined our life so new. And I had no idea. Today I started looking for a picture subject to "round" – I found it in one of my folders and immediately saw a "clock" in it. And I have put it back in relation to the topic that is currently determining everything ... I hope we don't get as dry as these flowers out of this situation. We will do it fresh and with new ideas – hopefully everyone healthy – and hopefully as soon as it will be possible :-)
///
Als ich dieses Bild gemacht habe, war es kurz davor. Kurz bevor Corona unser Leben so neu definiert hat. Und ich hatte keine Ahnung. Heute habe ich mich auf die Suche nach einem Bildmotiv zu "rund" gemacht – in einem meiner Ordner habe ich dieses gefunden und gleich eine "Uhr" darin gesehen. Und habe es schon wieder mit dem gerade alles bestimmenden Thema in Bezug gesetzt ... Ich hoffe, wir gehen nicht so vertrocknet wie diese Blumen aus dieser Situation heraus. Sondern frisch und mit neuen Ideen – hoffentlich alle gesund – und hoffentlich so bald wie es möglich sein wird :-)

We landed on the sun and set up a base camp - an amazing feat. Those aren't petals...they're solar flares.

Macro Monday - Blue
This little blue vase is about and inch and a half wide and the same height. Placed on a blue vintage book with a baby blue muslin backdrop (and a bit draped across the side). I used tungsten WB to enhance the blues. HMM
Drinnen. Eine Pflanze, die mit dem draußen blubbert.

This succulent plant is in my kitchen window sill. We were both very happy that the sun was shining again ;-) Maybe that's why it bubbled so many bokeh bubbles? Almost as if the plant wanted to say something, like with speech bubbles ...

Diese Sukkulente steht in meiner Küchenfensterbank – oder besser, sie scheint zu tanzen. Wir waren wohl beide sehr froh darüber, dass die Sonne mal wieder schien ;-) Vielleicht sprudelte sie deshalb so viele Bokehblasen? Fast so, als wollte die Pflanze etwas sagen, wie mit Sprechblasen ...

I mentioned 'tiny window' earlier and meant to wax poetic about that brief span between Fall in Winter that we get in the mountains, indeed there were spatterings of snow here and there already, but for this shiny moment, maybe the last time for a year, the colors are truly spectacular so get up and get out folks, it's on! :)
Day 130/365:
Had to make the most of my wisteria while it's in bloom. This is three images blended together. I put a scarf behind the flowers to improve the background.
Love taking nearsighted shallow depth of field macros to capture this antique 18 carat gold pocket watch. Fairly abstract looking into the inner workings of the watch. That's the way I see life without my thick spectacles ;)
Less than 3cm or less than 1 inch across.
