I hope you had great snow time. We came back and i have not notice much in London. But the Continent seems to be proper white. Wish you great short run before Xmas!
I was annoyed at myself when I downloaded these to my computer. I hadn't used my tripod but thought I was keeping still enough to get a few shots of the bees as they were making their way through the little Susies. Oh well, at least I captured the little critter.
Long before its prevalence as an ornamental, the black-eyed Susan was highly valued for its medicinal properties. Reports note that the pre-colonial Native American tribes like the Ojibwa, Chippewa, Menominee, and Potawatomi tribes utilized (and perhaps still do) black-eyed Susans as herbal medicine.
Black-eyed Susans are considered a symbol of encouragement and motivation, which can be attributed to the plant’s adaptability and widespread availability.

I'm back! My computer got water spilled on it, so I had no way to edit pictures, but now I have gotten a nice new computer, so here we are. I'm really excited to be getting back into photography!!

"Life is like a piano, the white keys represent happiness and black keys show sadness. But as you go through life is journey, remember that the black keys too make music!"
Recently acquired a rare Auto Chinon Tomioka 55mm f1.2 lens. What an amazing old lens. It's sharp and the DOF is Razor sharp.

I submitted this image for a photography contest with the subject ‘very close’. We had some sunflowers standing around and I decided to find a composition in which a central (sharp) leaf was surrounded by out of focus leafs to draw the eye. To accomplish this, I had to use a very shallow depth of field (used f/4 with a macro tube) which also resulted in a slightly soft central leaf (or not entirely in focus). I like this effect because it adds to the idea of the image.

If you're around my age you may remember the song 'San Francisco', which was written by John Phillips (of the Mamas and Papas) and sung by Scott McKenzie. Apologies if you now find yourself singing it.
"If you’re going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re gonna meet some gentle people there..."
Oh dear, did I just make it worse? Oops. :)
There are differing opinions on when the witching hour happens, but they're probably irrelevant when you're a little green witch because, let's face it, it's a witching life. :)

I'm always delighted to see 'newly minted' dragonflies emerging from my pond, but yesterday the excitement was tinged with sadness. There were two, but they'd really left it too late for this year and weren't able to warm up and dry out enough to fly strongly. I know dragonflies only have a short life as flying adults, but I'd be surprised if these two made it past their first 24 hours. They're such beautiful, magical little creatures. I'm already looking forward to seeing them again next year.
One of a recent series of images featuring Forget Me Not (Myosotis) blossoms. Here backed by my growing collection of ornate/attractively bound books and journals.

I bought this pocket watch at a flea market. The lady I bought it from purchased it at a market in Italy but the face of the watch has the map of Australia on it...interesting to think about where things we acquire have come from! I do love it!!

The Cheese slicer - Ostehøvel (Norwegian)
A cheese slicer is used usually to cut semi-hard and hard cheeses. It produces thin, even slices. There are different styles of cheese slicers, designed for cheeses of varying hardness. A cheese slicer can be also used for slicing cold butter, zucchini, cucumber or cabbage.
Ostehøvel, a modern cheese slicer or cheese plane, was invented by Thor Bjørklund in 1925 in Norway. Mass production of the Ostehøvel cheese slicer started during 1927 in Lillehammer, Norway. The design was based on the carpenter's plane. This style of slicer is very common in the Nordic countries, and in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
248/365 I promise I'll stop experimenting soon, but right now I need all the distraction I can get.
It's funny, but I didn't edit in the flare or the bokeh and they look the most out of place. And I found a better way of colour casting, using curves instead of layers.
I want Glastonbury now. I hate school.
Oh yeah, my sister went to the hospital and they decided it was false labour and sent her home. But she's now back in again, having been in labour since 8am (ouch!). So fingers crossed the little guy is going to come soon, because it's been 11 hours so far :O
And another thing, I just got my print from himynameisan Thank you very much! :D
