27 Jan - photo a day 2016.
This shell was purchased during our first trip to New Zealand.
Haliotis iris, common name paua, blackfoot paua or rainbow abalone, is a species of edible sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Haliotidae, the abalones.
This species is endemic to New Zealand Blackfoot paua is the largest abalone species found in New Zealand. It is most commonly found in shallow cool waters at depths less than 6 m. These sea snails often form large clusters on open, exposed coasts, where drift seaweed accumulates and there is good water movement. Blackfoot paua grow to about 180 mm in shell width.

This was the final shot at the end of the roll so it had some light leak. I like the effect though.

Taken in Clifton, Ohio.
Clifton is a very small rural town of 151 people (2018) who's major attraction is the Mill run by a water wheel on the Little Miami River. At the mill, the river (more of a stream at that point) drops into Clifton Gorge which is an amazing place to see. The land around is almost table top flat and all of a sudden, there is this beautiful gorge you wouldn't expect to be there and can't see from the road even though it is only a few yards away in many places.
There are a few out buildings around the mill that are covered with old signs like this one. During Christmas time, the entire grounds of the mill are decorated with lights. I've seen all the lights and decorations during the day, but never at night. Apparently it is a very well attended attraction. .

Experimenting with some "art" from the sea. I need some new prints for the walls...I've picked up shells for as long as I can remember....from coast to coast...and sea to sea:) I believe these were from Sarasota, Florida...the Gulf of Mexico.
Two interesting things about this image (well, to me, anyway). Firstly, it was taken with a standard non-macro Nikkor 50mm lens attached to the Nikon Z6 through the FTZ adapter and triple-decked macro ring extenders. This brought the subject to just a couple of cm from the front of the lens. Secondly, this was the first time I tried Nikon's SnapBridge app on my iPhone to fully control the camera. This allowed me to take the shot without any need to touch the vcamera once I had carried out the initial set-up. The focus, shutter-speed and aperture were all controlled remotely as well as the final tripper release. Well done Nikon, excellent bit of technology and it can only get better!!
While we're on gas pumps, I happened to remember this old shot from a bike tour many years ago. Pre digital days, the photo was most likely taken with one of the small Olympus clam shell cameras.

Shell Oil Company logo was design by Raymond Loewy and it is still one of the best-known logo designs. Shell logo has been continually corrected for several times. This sign is one of the olders version found it in Cambridge, Massachuset. ------ (BOS_DSCN2219 - Image copyrighted).
I took this photo at the beach. One shell was fould on the beach and the other is from Pottery barn. I placed them between the rocks and the waves would roll in . I was hoping to get some bokeh off the water, which I did but also had to run after the shells when the waves took them away. But it was fun!!
Recently my son found this shell in our garden and wanted me to take a picture of it (he knows that I like to take pictures of bugs, insects, weird objects etc). So, I thought of giving it a try even though this shell is damaged (left lower corner) and not in perfect shape. After many permutations and combinations, I zeroed on capturing it against the light coming from the window. So, I placed it on a white paper on the window ledge.The light entered through the shell aperture/mouth and made it glow (kind of). So, I took this glowing concept a bit further and processed it such that the glow was enhanced a bit. It is a very minimalistic shot but somehow the end result is quite OK.
Shot this with my Sigma 70-300 lens which doubles up as a decent macro lens between 200-300mm. My experience with this lens has been mixed as it goes very soft beyond 200mm. But since I don't have a dedicated macro lens, this lens comes in handy at times.

ODC, Polychromatic or Multicolour
Monday was one of those struggle day when it came to taking photographs.....it happens from time to time, but always passes.
I got home late and hadn't taken anything multicoloured, so quickly set up these shells with a light. They may not be multicoloured with reds, blues, greens and yellows, but they have many tints and tones of brown :)
Fabulous '70s font!

Circa 1970s. More information to come.

A busy interlude as the early morning autumnal sunshine illuminates Thomas Hill 'Vanguard' 4-wheel diesel-hydraulic '9'' (Works No.287V built in 1980), fitted with an exhaust 'scrubber' device, seen shunting the BR exchange sidings at Shell UK Oil Ltd Stanlow Refinery, as Tinsley-based 47003 'Wild Swan' , with less than a year to go before withdrawal, passes with a container train for Ellesmere Port on 12th October 1990. After closure of the refinery, the 'Vanguard' loco worked at T J Thomson's Stockton scrapyard, and (in 2025) was owned by Ed Murray at Hartlepool and is hired out as required. 47003 was scrapped two years later by CF Booth of Rotherham.

Derwent Coloursoft pencils on A4 Canson sketchbook paper
This piece was followed with so many bad coincidences, that it's already a win it's finished and uploaded...
First I meant to do it on Canson Mi-Teintes sand paper, but my KIN pencils just didn't want to work on this surface. So I put out my new 24 pc tin of Coloursofts. They are lot drier in compare to the creamy KIN pencils, but I decided to try them out. Although the test in the sketchbook went ok, I failed again on Mi-Teintes. The time was running out, so I just finished the piece in the sketchbook...
There was a special reason why I didn't want to miss out this month's challenge.. it's exactly a year since I entered a CPM challenge for the very first time and I wanted to compare my entries and see the progress - if there's some ;) - I made in the last year :)
