Day 142/365:
This a is a double exposure, I took the first image totally blurred and the second in focus.
Sorry I'm still unable to catch up. Tomorrow my sister is coming over from France to stay with us for about 10 days. It will be difficult to get a photo each day but I'll do my best but it will most likely be a case of post and run

April 2022: A month in 30 pictures
I know, same idea, different receptacle but all is fair in love and a 365...and I wanted to use these lovely little sparaxis flowers in some way.
I found this rodent skull last year, while out walking. It was just outside a freshly dug badger's sett.
Inspired by #MacroMondays and theme #Curves. I learn quite a bit from this group by researching a word or theme. And discussing themes with my husband. For this theme, he first brought me an old set of French curves, templates used in his physics class.
These are tiny wood shavings he also thought I might use. I popped them into my soft box, used natural sunlight, and felt delighted with the little curls and curves. I hope you like them.
Width of the frame left to right measures less than 4cm/1.57 inches.
and for those inclined, 'Celeste' by Pete Kuzma from the album Equilibrium: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsWSvLmw1g0 :-)
comments returning soon ;-)
in the present.. my gratitude for the quiet company!!

A Lensbaby shot of my Osteospermum. One of the plants we purchased on our recent visit to the garden centre. It's brightening the garden up nicely.
Einblicke. Tief ins Glas.

Same evening and place (Lake Constance, Germany) as my second last post - just another point of view
It's always worth changing your perspective - in life and in photography, isn't it !?

Derselbe Abend und derselbe Ort wie in meinem vorletzten Beitrag - nur aus einem anderen Blickwinkel (Bodensee bei Unteruhldingen)
Es lohnt sich immer, die Perspektive zu wechseln - im Leben und in der Fotografie, nicht wahr ?

52/100: 100 Flowers 2020
Another shot of one of my agapanthus flowers emerging. I find them fascinating and love to observe the different stages as they develop. I think this looks like it's wearing a little bonnet.
One of the groups I'm in had the subject of a "shallow depth of field" for the weekly theme.
I'd never tried for a shot with a S.D.F before and if I've ever done it, then it's been an accident.
For those techy minded and in the know - have I done it in this photo?
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
Male Anna's Hummingbird turned his head and his iridescent feathers caught what little light existed.

#43 - 100 x challenge - Lensbaby
Still trying to get to grips with the Sweet 35 so I think the composition went to pot a bit but another one for my 100.
Sunset at the pier in Scheveningen / The Netherlands, it was a wonderful sunny, but cold winter day ...
Experimented with shallow depth of field and a minimalist composition

#Buckle
The research for what exactly the (belt) buckle you can see in my image is called almost took longer than taking the photo itself – because this is actually one of my test shots ;) But sometimes the test shot is the best, and I liked it, so I went for it. I couldn't find a definite term for this type of buckle but on Wikipedia, I found the so-called "Western or cowboy buckle" that at least works in the same way as this buckle does: it has a pin on the underside which is inserted into the belt hole of choice (and comfort). This buckle even has two pins, one which fixates the leather strap underneath the buckle, and the aforementioned pin to adjust the belt's length. This also makes it easy to take the buckle off the belt without damaging either belt or buckle.
The belt is what one might call a fashion belt (it belongs to my Mom, magrit k., and she says that it is from the 1970s or 80s) but unlike most fashion things today it is of very sturdy and good quality. Although the belt is very slim (only 1,4 cm / 0,55 inches wide), the red leather strap itself is really thick (3 mm / 0,11 inches) and it's still in excellent condition.
But enough of the belt because here I have photographed the buckle on its own. The width of the buckle (and therefore also of the frame) is 1,8 cm / 0,70 inches. The length of the decorative element in the buckle's centre part is 2,5 cm / 0,98 inches. That deco element is embossed with tiny dots (bokeh!) and its shape is what I'd describe as a hybrid between an H and an X (to me it also looks like a tiny person with raised arms reminiscent of some statues of the Mayan culture).
Light sources were a natural light photo lamp from above and two LED lights, one from the left (equipped with the semi-translucent yellow bottle cap colour "filter") and one from the right (red transparent chocolate box colour "filter" placed in front of it). It's a single shot captured wide open at F2.8 for that extra shallow DOF and bokeh.
One last thought: The small red and orange "bokeh worms" in the upper middle look like telescope eyes to me, and together with the colours this reminded me of a Gecarcinus quadratus, a colourful land crab species that is also known as "Halloween crab" or "Halloween moon crab". So maybe this isn't a belt buckle at all, but a "Halloween buckle crab" ;)
HMM, Everyone, and have a great week ahead!
On evenings with sunlight, I wander around with monopod and camera. This light and new blooms brought me joy.
About as shot. I'm trying to learn a bit more about Adobe Camera Raw that opens before my old version of Photoshop. It's good to learn something new, I think.

🎶 Mike + The Mechanics - Another Cup of Coffee 🎵
... a (sad / melancholic) song of the 90's especially for coffee addicts - I like the voice of Paul Carrack and the somewhat quirky video (even though the perception of women shown in it seems to be a bit outdated now).
My (current) favourite (Sherlock Holmes) coffee mug by the way ;))

Played with an open aperture to create a shallow depth of field for a dreamlike effect.
Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday :-)
The way life used to be!
Searched the archives for something other than blossom shots!!! Have a good weekend everyone and thanks for all the kind comments and favs on my recent uploads :)
Another (or the same) Northern Shrike with a spot of red on beak and a few feathers. Suddenly ubiquitous, but on a beautifully clear, cold, windy day.

The Latin species name of the Northern Shrike, Lanius excubitor, means "Butcher watchman."

For the Crazy Tuesday group’s theme of narrow field of focus, or open aperture/shallow depth of field. Hope this passes muster.

2/31: October 2021: A month in 31 pictures
It's been dull and rainy all day and I wasn't happy with anything I tried. So I had to resort to using flash, not something I like to do but needs must.
The white fog is really accentuated here in black and white, adds quite a bit of contrast to the scene
I keep this in the silverware drawer to use almost daily on jars or lids or other such frustrating things. I think this makes me much more gentle than tossing something across the room, don't you?
Back after I ask my significant other what the proper name of this is, if you're interested.
Ah, a pair of duck-billed pliers with which to grip, bend, and twist small things. Small enough for my smallish hand.

This beautiful rose is called a whiter shade of pale and was a present for my last big birthday. A little scary as my next big birthday is coming up next year.

my happy thanks to all who share the space :-)
forgive me for deleting group comment codes...
they're not my thing.. tho I do appreciate the visit!
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!

When I stuck my nose out into the garden today, I found this little daisy in the company of a little feather. The blade of grass doesn't seem to be a real limit for the two of them – they stretch towards each other and definitely freeze both. But the cold ice thaws a little for the spring messengers ;-)

Als ich heute meine Nase in den Garten herausgestreckt habe, fand ich dieses kleine Gänseblümchen in der Gesellschaft einer kleinen Feder. Der Grashalm scheint keine wirkliche Grenze für die beiden zu sein – sie recken sich einander entgegen und frieren bestimmt beide etwas. Doch das kalte Eis taut schon ein wenig für die Frühlingsboten ;-)
