Day 5 - October 2024: A month in 31 pictures
I hadn't managed to get a photo for today but these ceramic pumpkins came to the rescue for a last minute low key shot.

I will be back tomorrow to catch up.
7DWF : Jueves/Thursdays : B&W/sepia
The many looks of the countryside here enchant me. Little wild flowers grow hidden among very, very tall types of wild grasses. The sunlight exposed this tiny flower, but showed more clearly in black and white.
I used the settings on Silver Efex Pro and Photoshop to find the B&W exposure I liked.
Hope you like it, too. Many thanks for so many previous comments and stars ;) Have you seen the new Beta About page? At the top or left of Photostream. I don't think it's rolled out to everyone. I like it. I could post 25 photos of "missing Alaska a bit".
Having suddenly a wealth of images of rubber ducks both big and very small this will be the first image in a small series.

I'm pleased to say these little wild violets have come up in the garden again this year. My husband is not so pleased but knows better than to try to get rid of them ;)

#Wrinkled
My subject for "Wrinkled" is crinkled, creased, and folded: Bouillon crinkle wire used in jewellery making, (Christmas) decorating, DIY projects, and floristry. I bought it for only one use: photography. I've also already photographed it before for another MM theme, "Wire", back in October 2019 (please see the first comment).
Since I had photographed the bouillon wire against a black background last time, I wanted something lighter and more colourful for my photo for "Wrinkled". Once again, I used the light blue glitter foam sheet (dull side up) as background, and for extra colour, I placed a green glass bottle in front of one of my go-to LED lamps (from the right), and equipped the left LED lamp with the semi-translucent yellow bottle cap for the Rumpelstiltskin "turn silver into gold" trick. The other light source was the natural light LED photo lamp from above and photographed the wire with the Laowa Ultra macro lens to get as close as possible, both for extra magnification and a very shallow depth of field.
HMM, Everyone, and have a nice week ahead!

OK, so having said I wanted to get away from weekly challenges, here I am joining a THIRD weekly challenge group. Oops. In recent months I've found myself enjoying tabletop photography more and more, but it's still fairly new to me, so having a theme to try can really help. I'm looking forward to being a part of the Smile on Saturday group. This week's theme is 'Beads', which is right up my street. :)
These wallflowers in the walled garden at Felbrigg National Trust were muted colours but I held the Lensbaby orange quilted Omni in front of the lens.

Wild flowers (a/k/a "weeds") are important opportunistic adapters. This burst of brilliant yellow Wormseed Wallflowers came up on a nearby street after new fencing was installed along a property line. The soil was disturbed and the Wallflower seeds which, most likely, had been buried in the weed seed bed waiting for an opportunity to germinate got their chance!
Whether we like them or not, wild flowers/weeds fulfill a purpose in the landscape - in this case covering leftover construction bare ground which would otherwise wash away with Spring rain.
...no! He wasn´t, but as often i ask him to smile - he won´t. Ok, so he had to live with my titles :) It´s a real nice, fluffy one.

Flowers everywhere now, but trees are still leading the way. This is a huge old azalea at the edge of the woods. We might not need flowers for sustenance in the same way that our pollinator friends do. But they do sustain us. 😊
Gerrie has been curious all day long as to where the bird went. Maybe there was no bird at all.
Possible.
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
In 2009 I took a photo of a pine tree looking straight up the trunk.
I loved the result, and have been collecting other peoples ones in my flickr galleries ever since.
Here's my latest attempt.

I have been outdoors with the very old russian prime lens Tair 11A. My lens must be from the very early Production back in 1965 because of its unique Serial Number ! This thing is over 50 Years old and still works like a charm. Build like an russian tank - build for the eternity :)
KMZ Tair 11A 135mm F2.8 (Production Years 1965 - 1995)
