A Sony A7III photographed with a Sony A7III :) My wife loves her Christmas present. Hope everyone came well into the new year.

Image taken from a car bonnet after a storm.

I've had these flowers hanging around for a few weeks, waiting to be photographed. I posted the colour version to Instagram but I think I prefer it in black and white, I may post the colour one at a later date. HMBT

 

Lendbaby Velvet 56 and Omni stretch glass and prism...although with the black and white you can't see the rainbow effect from the prism but more like light leaks.

Spending more time editing... and spending more time trying to convince myself that it's a positive thing!

 

This one's from the end of August... a rare appearance of "mini-me" on flickr... his sister normally hogs the spotlight :-)

 

Dontcha just love that Disney "Star Wars Weekend" t-shirt !

52 Frames Weekly Photo Challenge Assignment: Shallow Depth of Field

Wildflower strip in my garden

These fruit trees only bloom for a short period of time, so I'm out and about taking advantage of the photo opportunities.

The dark area on the right is the tree trunk of this old and a bit tired tree. In the summer I stop by and pick apricots of the branches that overhang the fence.

Two years ago to the day I was photographing these trees swarming with Painted Lady butterflies, today there wasn't a single pollinator in sight.

I hope there will be some insects while I'm not looking, otherwise it will be hard to pick fruit later in the year.

Ireland - Ring of Kerry

Was experimenting with a shallow depth of field, a human element for scale ;) and a blurry foreground. It created for me out of camera a bit of a miniature effect.

From the "Feline Portraits" series extras. This is an alternative take on Jade (Chapter 2)

SOOC (straight out of the camera except for the signature).

Dedicated to my wife, with which i married since 16 years. Loving you Tina.

 

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

 

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

 

It's early in the morning

I'm laughing at the sun, mm

My mirror dissappoints me, yeah

Am I the only one?

 

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

Is you, smiling

At me, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

Is life, love, with you

 

I think I'm getting closer

But the scenery's the same, yeah

Am I a disappointment?

I'll blame it on the pain, it's

 

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

Is you, smiling

At me, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

Is life, love, with you

 

Oh, all I need is you is all I need if you can simply believe in me and we will be forever

Together

 

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

Is you, smiling

At me, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

Is you, smiling

At me, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

Is you, smiling

At me, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

All I need, all, all I need

Is life, love, with you

Happy Fence Friday

Day 224/365:

 

I always love to get a macro of the berberis in my garden, while it's red. This time I teamed it with the Omni stretch glass crystal which gives the appearance of light shining on it. Hence the title which also happens to be a new Paolo Nuttini song...link below if you care to have a listen. I hope you'll enjoy it. The video is quite mesmerising, I thought it was like Omni filters dancing across the screen.

... some leaves just hang on giving us a small splash of colour in a white world

Smile on Saturday... BiColora

Happy Fence Friday... a profusion of berries clinging to this fence

As old motorcycles go, this is one of the nicest and coolest around. At least it appeared to keep its oil in the crankcase as opposed to all over the floor...

I thought this might be a good one today.

I miss the way Flickr was. The Friend stream.

Happy Macro Mondays

Tomonoura might be the best place I've ever been in Japan... I really fell in love with this small seaside town! (And this Tomonoura Cider was tasty too!) Fukuyama-shi, Hiroshima-ken, Japan. November 26, 2015.

A little frosty macro work.

October 2023: A month in 31 pictures

 

My friend popped over with Hugh, one of her dogs. I tried to get a quick shot of him, he was looking at his mum for treats though. The background isn't great and I tried to change it but it was my first attempt and it looked too artificial. This is all I got today and I haven't got the energy to start again.

I was lucky to spot this tiny caterpillar busy munching on grass seeds :)

 

Can anyone else see a man's face with a goatee...or is it just me?! 😂

Happy Tree Tuesday!
