I can't believe that it's October already. Time to start thinking about Halloween and spooky stuff!!

I found this abandoned beer can under a little sculpture and started to photograph it. Suddenly a dustman came by and wanted to take it. I asked if he can leave it because I still want to take some more pictures. He left and came 5 minutes later back and asked friendly if I am now ready. I said yes and showed him my pictures. He put the beer can with a smile into his trash bag and continued his route. It is nice that not everybody puts efficiency above creativity.

Assignment: Photographing through something.

Number 306 of my 365 photo challenge - A split-toned, macro image of the quintessential fairytale toadstool, the Fly Agaric, in the afternoon Autumn light.

I have been trying to find one of these guys for some time now so was delighted when one appeared next to a path I walk to work on! :-)

Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

Dad would have been 104 last week, so I had a look at some old photos. I am guessing that this was his father's Ford truck and that he was about 8 years old and that would date this photo as close to 1920.

HTT from me, my dad, and my grandpa.

I have photographed this abandoned place a few times now. I find it compelling from a human interest perspective, and I also find the off-kilter geometry appealing. I tried several versions in color before settling on black and white.

Thanks for looking!

...has her dad wrapped around her little finger!

I may have found a new muse; although she needs exhausting and bribing with treats before she's totally compliant.

Saint Paul, MN

Messing in a local cornfield. Quite enjoying my split-tone images with me in them. Although Mrs B thinks it's a narcissistic thing. She's wrong, of course; I'm scratching my creative itch.

I guess since I'm calling it untitled at the biopark, it really has a title, but I don't really know what to title it.

It's been ages since Kim and I have been to the zoo.

So what do I photograph?

Lions and tigers and bears? Oh, no.

Rocks and shrubs and trees, that's so.

So I don't know what other than untitled at the biopark it should be.

Smile, you're in candid camera.

One for the righteous, one for the ruling class

One for the tyrant, one for the slaughtered lamb

One for the struggle, one for the lasting peace

One for you, and one for me

One for the Führer, one for his child bride

One for the wedding, one for the suicide

One for the bunker, one for the broadcast booth

One for me, now one for you

How did we get so far away from us?

How did we get so far away?

One for the people, one for the parliament

One for the weary, one for the malcontent

One for the master, one for the protégé

One for you, and one for me

One for the bread lines, one for the billionaires

One for the missing, one for the barely there

One for the certain, one for the real confused

One for me, okay, now one for you

Now that we've come so far away from us

Now that we've come too far to say

You and me, you and me that is an awful lie

You and me, you and me that is an awful lie

It's I and I

It's I and I

It's I and I

It's I and I

Each journey starts with a little step even the journey of the soul to find the place it wants to be or who it wants to be with no matter hard hard it is to reach. Pleased with the image, apart from minor split tone, light vignette on the edge and a touch of contrast this effect is achieved in the DSLR, taken a couple of hours ago. Feel like i am getting better at my photography :) #Soul #Journey #Rebuild

I played around with a RAW from some time in the past. Some duotones and ready. For those of you who were not tortured with latin in school: Through the darkness to the window.

Just love this dynamic sunsets on the beach. This is one from a few months ago. But looking at it again, it feels like yesterday!

You do me (and hopefully yourself) a big favour by pressing L and then F11, to view at maximum size.

Yes, for regular followers, the chocolate remains unopened and, therefore, uneaten. Here's to The Power of One. :)

A little split-tone fun with an otherwise simple path scene. I find using the split-tone feature in LR to be like going down a rabbit hole of processing. You run across so many slightly different variations that it's hard to pick one out!

Two image focus stack to get all the steps sharp and a wee while of wait to get a person to where I wanted at the top of the steps.

The Stade in Hastings Old Town has been used for beaching boats for more than a thousand years. It is now home to Europe's largest fleet of beach-launched fishing boats.

The word 'stade' is a Saxon term meaning landing place.
