ODC-Sky
The sky is what I call a subtle Autumn Orange this morning. My view isn't as good as it will be once the leaves fall off the trees.
This is a response to Elma Džidić's photo. www.flickr.com/photos/199291167@N06/53594100959/in/datepo...
My initial reaction to her photo was "Oh, this really has some sentimental value for her." So, as a way to respond to that impression I had, I decided to take this.
This is the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk and it holds a lot of sentimental value to me because I go there very often, I volunteer to clean there every Summer, and I have so many memories with the beach. However, it's easy to forget the subtle changes over time if you're not observant enough. The boardwalk isn't the same after Hurricane Sandy, and certainly not now, ever since the risk of flooding that threatens the place. So I decided to portray the current change to the boardwalk.
This mid-Summer Sunset warms the unique mountainous formations of Zion National Park. The toned canyonesque sides give way to jagged and disjointed cliffs jutting up to the yellowish cloud filled sky. At a distance is another mountainous range touched by the gilded light of Sunset. In the foreground the green shrubs and bushes are settled under the shadow of a cloud. I found the view and the quiet revitalizing. Zion National Park, Utah 24 July 2009.
This unusually coloured sunflower was at the back of border beside the glasshouses at Sheffield botanical gardens. As I emerged from the abundant jungly growth I noticed I was being watched by two ladies who in turn must have thought I was spying on them. Using the plants as a hiding place. I just smiled courteously and walked away....... briskly... ;D
Some of these flowers were flaming orange red, while others were slightly more pink and not as intense, like this one. All of them were gorgeous. I have no idea what they were, so perhaps someone can identify them.
Even in the tail end of Winter, Sugar Mill Gardens can be ablaze with color, and reminds us that here in Florida, it's more like Spring than Winter most of the cooler months. With the kind of brutal Winter most of the U.S. and Europe has been having, we were blessed to have a rather pleasant one, with a few great, cool days sprinkled in here and there. Summer will be another story, with temps in the 90+ range and heat indexes going over 100 degrees. For us, it's been a really pleasant Winter, and the flowers are proof of it!
A ragged little tree sticks up out of a snowbank. I wish the leaves were a little less curled, but I still like it. I think it's an aspen.

After our mall walk, we went home for Daisy to change shoes and then went to lunch. (Yeah, we should have brought them with us...) Afterward, we stopped at a couple of shoe stores and then popped by the ABC store to resupply our liquor shelf. Hmmm...I wonder if Daisy is trying to tell me something with her choice of whiskey? One for the old crow, perhaps? 😜
The fish-eye distortion can be overwhelming at times. It’s not overwhelming like when the Bears would make it into the red zone only to botch the landing. But you catch my drift. In this shot below I used a fish-eye lens. The shot contained some of the tripod leg and an awful composition. So, naturally I tried to fix it. I used Lightroom’s lens correction tool. I then cropped out the area I despised and voila!
The lesson from today is use the crop tool to fix shit you dislike. I recently discussed how I dislike cropping if it doesn’t meet the cropping standards. I still used the rule of thirds to compose the shot after the initial cropping. I guess I should have discussed the possibility of your fish-eye lens grabbing too much. Sometimes less is more. I got lucky with the subtle reflection from the skyline. It really makes the city look different.
Nell’autunno ci sono colori visibili a tutti e altri che appartengono solo a noi: di cui nessuno sa nulla.

Foglie con colori dal tardo autunno risplendono del sole più bello, con una tonalità che ricorda ancora l'estate.

Looks like a local fancier has released his pigeons for some evening exercise at Poulton-le-Fylde on 10th May 2008. Meanwhile, back on the ground, 'Princess Coronation' No. 6233 'Duchess of Sutherland' eases over Poulton Junction, under the watchful eye of the signaller in 'Poulton No. 3 signal box, as it heads the returning PMR Tours 'The Fylde Coast Express', 1Z34, 1724 Blackpool North - Crewe - Sheffield charter.

Beauty is often found in the most subtle of details. A faint blush of sunrise pink surrounds a small clump of grass standing in a misty pond at San Luis NWR.
Recipe of the most subtle and simple Bengali delicacy available here This picture came out so innocent and cute that I wanted to share the smile and joy with you. I wish I had used a tiny bit smaller aperture though. Oh well.
Finally got round to covering the new school route 618 - here is VLE35 doing the honours on this afternoon's journey. The destination is Mill Hill Broadway which is definitely on the blinds, so not sure why it's not showing it! Perhaps it's to avoid confusion with the 114.

I love processing my B/W images just as much as colour. The world through B/W with it's varying shades of grey adds another dimension to photography.
3 raw hdr converted to lab colour then greyscale.

One of the few Hummingbirds I've seen so far this year. There sure aren't many. I added the background texture to this one.
The conditions seemed right for a nice sunrise at Sidmouth. The sky wasn't as dramatic as I'd have liked but I like the subtle tones in what cloud there was.
If you wonder why it's called "Subtle Controversy", it's because of the extremely low cut in the back! Luchia loves her some butt-cheek moment!
The snow clouds are beginning to break up in this shot of the high field on saturday. The perfect rows are the stubs of the cotton plants from the summer and fall. There was about 8 inches of snow here.

Playing around - not sure what I was trying to do that day - maybe being deliberately obtuse. Being generous to myself I could argue I was trying to catch some subtle colours, without the distraction of any details :-)
