The winter solstice was a very cold day, but still and lovely for a walk in the snow. This path leads us right up to our house.
A little soft focus, shallow DOF still life I did a while back which I wasn't happy with and haven't previously shared. However, I revisited it recently and have reworked it...so here it is
Happy New Year, everyone! 🎇🎄
It's been a long and hard year, but the direction has finally turned positive, so let's keep that momentum, and hope for a better year.
The first upload of 2023, but the last photos taken in 2022, so let's file 'em under 2022.
Taken with Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR camera and adapted manual focus Tamron SP Adaptall-2 52B 90mm F2.5 Macro lens. Slightly tweaked colour balance, a dose of noise reduction, a bit of unsharp mask and that's all, not even a crop.
✨ Thank you all for pushing this photo into Explore at #345 at one point in time. Yay!

August 2015. Ridiculous amount of bokeh going on. OK, OK, I know bokeh is a quality not a quantity but there really is a lot of it bubbling around this flower.
Rainy summer Sunday - waiting for lunch to cook. What else do you do? :-)

I've wanted more colour in my garden for a long time, so late last year I had some raised beds created and planted. It's been a joy to watch the new plants grow and flourish. Of course, now I wish I'd done it years ago! The bokeh colours come from a dwarf Buddleia and Helenium, which has matured from its early bright red to more autumnal hues.
One of my favorite assignments for my students is a telephoto/selective focus/looking and seeing study creating a photo featuring one subject - the hand - and one background - enough of the scene to identify the activity and compliment it. l also like using my telephotos' magnification power for my focus, holding the exposure button halfway down and letting the camera seek the optimal focus. But l make the final decision, not the camera or lens. l want to see sharp details - pores, individual hairs, etc., before firing.
flora is not my strongest points when it comes to photography....however, I could not resist going to the Agassiz tulip festival to find out what all the fuss was about...I was not disappointed!!
It was a tough winter but spring is finally here. Only one of my miniature tulips survived the winter though
Well, this is by far the cutest damselfly shot that I've taken so far. Very similar to the other violet dancer damselfly shot that I took, but a totally different fly though.
Not really! More Father (right) and Son (left). Holding still for a very short moment.

This rose was a housewarming gift (19 years ago) from a friend who is no longer with us. I can't remember what the rose is called but I call her Christine, after our friend.
I think she is very photogenic and at her best when she is fading.
Captured with Lensbaby Sol 45 and Lensbaby omni filter, this gave the arc around the rose. A couple of my textures added and an extra touch of blur. HBW
These trees stand on what remains of the jetty where the paddle steamer The Fairy Queen used to dock on Loch Eck over a hundred years ago.
Walking around the park with manual focus lenses, catching the best possible bokeh.
Taken with an old Pentax K-5 digital camera and a lot older smc Pentax-M 200mm F4 telephoto lens.
Walking through a small area of scrub and secondary woodland, I came across this remnant of autumn foliage. I arranged the branches to form a diagonal across the frame and shot wide open for shallow depth of field. I considered focus stacking to bring the leaves fully into focus, but the branches were moving in the breeze, so this probably wouldn't have worked. Simply stopping down didn't provide enough depth of field and I didn't like the effect on the background. Macro photography, I'm discovering, isn't easy.
