November (fall) blooms in California.
Among first shots with Nikon 55-200mm.
This Grevillea 'Long John' spider flower is about 3-feet (1-meter) tall, growing in a large container in my backyard in San Leandro, California, U.S.A.
Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6 DX G AF-S IF ED VR lens. Practicing in my backyard before going out in the field with my new-to-me lens. So far, so good; I'm liking the lens a lot!
My Nikon 18-200mm is a nice lens, but it is too heavy for me to hold steady. Rather than carry one heavy lens, I'll carry two lenses Nikon 18-55mm and 55-200mm so I can shoot with an ultra-light-weight lens on my camera. Hope the narrow field of the 55-200mm helps me learn to simplify my images.
The urge has come over me the past while to simplify, learn to live with less. Some things are easy to let go, others not so much. But when you finally can let go of the attachment there's a weight lifted, a feeling of freedom. And that in itself is a gift. 61:365
There was still quite a bit of rain left on these when it started to brighten up. Cropped and rotated.
CS4, and various Topaz filters.

The other day, at my daughter's place, I took some quick photos of a bouquet of roses. Today I decided to use Painter to simplify the background, so I started drawing into the image with digital pastel. Then I added posterizing and woodcut effects to emphasize the strong lines and shapes of the flowers.
Trying to work loosely and not spend hours on a little picture. I did this in my new watercolor moleskine 5x8". I had Elvis's gospel music in the background, very relaxing.

365 Days: Day 1
I've been wanting to do a 365 days project for a while, but never quite felt I was ready or had enough to say. I think it's finally time now. I feel a lot of changing coming on in the next 365 days, so let's get started!
In the last 8 days, one of my oldest friends from elementary school lost her grandfather to cancer/pneumonia, my offer for a SOMA loft got accepted, and my closest high school friend (I was her maid of honor at the wedding) learned she's having her first baby. It's amazing how much changes in a few days, and all at the same time. I guess so is the cycle of life. Going to the funeral today reminded me how important it is to cherish the most important things first and then simplify to get to the core of life.
Peonies in the garden. They're in a dark corner, so I got some dramatic lighting, and then decided to try them in B&W. I liked the way it came out.

In this page we are going to discuss about Simplify the Expression concepts. Simplify means converting complexity into simple and then solving it. In other words breaking a problem, into simple terms or terminologies can be defined as Simplification. Students always find difficulty in simplifying problems but, its actual purpose is to break down problems into steps and then solving it. There are different ways of simplifying, and different methods followed by different tutors for simplifying expressions.
