One of the very few shots of our Rudbeckia I took this summer and which I really like because of its beautiful painterly bokeh. Hope you like it too!
I am trying something different. I had this idea the other day of combining two effects together to create something a bit more artistic.
Exit one world into another. I have some varying ideas.
Happy Slider Sunday
For Macro Mondays'assignment of the day :"Sideways, Upside-down or Backwards"
A shot taken at the front door.
There are 6 long eared owlets!! The other night I was playing peek a boo with this one and he bobbed his head up and down, then turned it completely sideways!! They are so adorable and I feel privileged to be able to photograph these special owls.

Gah!!... so annoying. I find the perfect field of poppies and its blowing a hooley. I dont mind getting a daytime shot of them as I like the combination of pink and grey (the colour of my lounge) however I would have preferred some calm and stillness without them going in all directions.
I could have got creative and arty with a slower shutter speed but Im not very good at that.
On coming back for sunset the wind dropped but there was no cloud whatsoever which was also disappointing. I did get some nice light though.. I will post that at some point this week.
This infrared shot was taken in Dorset last month with a Nikon D70 converted to Infrared by Advanced Camera Services in the UK.

And with a turn of the head we have this view in color. I am surprised how still it remained as I leaned inward to take this photo.

Are dogmas unnecessary?
The adequacy of dogmas depends on whether they claim to formulate or to allude; in the first case they flaunt and fail, in the second they indicate and illumine. To be adequate they must retain a telescopic relation to the theme in which they refer, must point to the mysteries of God rather than picture them. All they can do is indicate a way, not mark and end, of thinking. Unless they serve as humble signposts on the way dogmas are obstacles...
...Unless we realize that dogmas are tentative rather then final, that they are accommodations rather than definitions, intimations rather than descriptions; unless we learn how to share the moment and the insight to which they are trying to testify, we stand guilty of literalmindedness, of pretending to know what cannot be put into words; we are guilty of intellectual idolatry. The indispensable function of the dogmas is to make it possible to rise above them.
-Abraham Joshua Heschel, as quoted from pg. 49 of The Genesis of Faith-The Depth Theology of Abraham Joshua Heschel, by John C. Merkle
Greek gods have a human shape, so, when you meet their effigies, you can photograph them frontally, in profile and even from behind. Immortal they may be, but their life can still be poor and painful. They may even be forgotten. And this Nautilus shell, broken as it is, may actually last longer than this image of Hermes. It may even outlast human memory. Some time in the future when there is nobody left to remember the gods. Fuji X-E2 plus Helios 44M-7 at approx. F8; contre-jour and with reflector.
