Am trying to comment, but the flickr gods aren't cooperating.
I've missed you all
I've had a chance to reflect. I have to spend time researching for and pulling together stories, all of which I want to feature on flickr. There are also a number of other projects I've been putting off for the eighteen months that I've been on flickr. I need to get some balance going here. All this means that, for the foreseeable future, I will be up on flickr every two or three days rather than every day as I have been to date. Many of my flickr buddies have curbed their flickr activities, and some have even dropped off flickr for reasons similar to mine.
Flickr is an addictive business. It has a tendency to take over, and Explore really drives the addiction. Explore is like heroin in that it stokes us for a period of time by including everything we post, only to drop us us for periods of time during which we try everything to regain the old Explore high.
Not trying to be resentful or maudlin here. Just trying to put flickr into perspective. I'll still get around to see you all on a regular basis, and I promise to pull some good stories together. Thanks for being great buddies. You've all become an important part of my life. You teach me so much, and I'll still be part of this great community.
Feel free to email me directly at any time. I'm around a lot.

Today the conditions were very difficult for taking a good landscape picture. I had to use unusual parameters, that I would not normally use. Wide aperture, high iso, fast exposure. Because in every 2 seconds waves splashed over my head. There was no way to use my tripod. I had my back to the sea, protecting my camera and in between the waves I tried to snap some pictures as quickly as possible. The filters needed to be wiped after each wave. 15 minutes later my clothes were soaking wet and I had to get back to my car. But the exciting and interesting foreground forced me to try these desperate measures.
Trying to photograph the local birds and what is around them. Playing with contrast, cold/warm colours and high-key.
On my post-rain morning walk, I dialed in some X100V film sim settings a blogger posted. He called this one Chrome Urban, and maybe it made a routine leaf scene a bit less boring. Thank you to all those people who do the hard work of creating film sim settings, and allowing the rest of us to try them out (steal).
Trying to get closer to the abstract beauty of sea foam, I made a discovery: unintended self-portraits!
Trying out tethered shooting. Wireless its clunky but reasonably effective. An equipment update incoming for sure Learned quite a bit from experiments and first run. Exciting way to get pictures!
Yay or Nay... It's close to one year now that I own the Lelutky Guy Head and... Never wear it. I never got a shape done that I really liked. So yes... this one here I finally kinda liked... we'll see if I like it more then my good ol' catwa.
সাফা আমার খুব ভালো Friend দের এক জন ছবি তোলা যার শখ । আর এই ছবি তোলার জন্যই লক্ষ মানুষের ভিড়ে ওর এতো চেষ্টা ..................জানি না কার ছবি capture করতে চাছছিল ! ওর এই চেষ্টা দেখে আমিও chance নেই ওকে capture করার জন্য ।

trying to cool down in the heat by stretching her wing out - stayed there for a while even though people were trying to walk past
Trying out another photo for the canon5 comp, not sure if this would be good enough to post. This shot was taken by shining a led torch behind a cardboard stencil and with 3 increments of zooming while the shutter was open.
