Today I got up earlier than usual, and the Hibiscus was in direct sunlight. It's been a long time I used my macro ring. I used it with the 50mm f1.4. This flower is not that hard to photograph this way for it is quite big. But still it has those interesting details that makes macrophotography so fascinating.

The (former) Sacred Heart Church is situated at the Crescent, on O'Connell Street, Limerick. It was completed in 1868 and opened to the public on January 27 1869. The architect of this church was William Corbett and the church is in the parish of St Joseph's. According to Murphy, it was originally intended to dedicate the church to St Aloysius but when it was dedicated in 1869 it was called the Church of the Sacred Heart. The façade of the church is Classical/Grecian in design. It was renovated in 1900. There are no aisles in the church but the nave has two rows of pews. The nave was extended in 1919.
As depicted in the photograph, the ceiling of the church is panelled with floriated ornaments in Stucco work. The high altar was designed by William Corbett and is made from 22 types of precious marble. On the floor around the high altar, there are the symbols of the four writers of the Gospels. The angel represents Matthew, the lion represents Mark while Luke and John are represented by the bull and eagle respectively.
Some of the stained glass windows throughout the church show the letters 'IHS'. These letters are the first three letters of the Greek word for Jesus which is IHSOUS. In Latin the letters stand for Jesus hominum salvator which translates as 'Jesus, Saviour of men'.
There are nine mosaics above the high altar. The central mosaic is of the Sacred Heart ascending in the presence of St Margaret Mary Alacoque and Blessed Claude la Colombiere. It is surrounded (from left to right) by depictions of St Francis Jerome, St Francis Borgia, St Francis Xavier, St Ignatius, St Stanislaus, St Aloysius, St John Berchmans and St Francis Regis.
The church formally closed in 2006.

Recently, the totality of CSX's GE C40-8 standard cab roster has been retired and sold off. Some sold for parts, some sold to class two roads, such as PanAm, to live out their retirement doing what they always do...which is to blow up, probably. Looking back it is definitely lucky we spotted this Dash 8 duo (with TEVO for trip insurance).
Light set-up: For this photo, I used an alienBee Ringflash in a big octogon softbox located above camera. There was also a Nikon SB24 pointing to the white cyclo background.

I wear men's pyjamas. I gave up on soppy womens brushed cotton jim jams years ago. You would put on a brand new pair and they were all baggy and cosy and fleecy. After one wash they had shrunk in every direction about 6 inches and made me feel like the incredible hulk. As for nighties, well i never understood the point of wearing something so bilious and easy to rumple up. Go to sleep nightie neatly arranged. Wake up, nightie is round neck strangling you, leaving a bum as cold as marble to the touch.

Each girl, willing to bare it all. To give us thier best, and allow us to be Close Up.
Each girl was allowed to, choose her hair, and edit her photo as she saw fit.
On thier reasons for editing
Anetta: I really wanted my photo to be plain black and white with a *Bang* to add some depth into. I really like how you can see the lace detail on the wall behind me.
Jenessa: I sorta wanted the same thing. I really love black and white, but I wanted mine to have a softer feel to it, and a hue of color.
On thier Hair
Jenessa: I wanted it to be elegant, but sleek and modern too. I so I came up with twisting the (my right) left side it, and pining back. Then the rest was pulled back, and then loose on the (my left ) right side. I kinda though of like a rapper or a black girl you would see in a magazine, with like only half her hair. It's sooo cool, but I dont have the guts to do it to myself.
Anetta: I wanted something totally different from Jennie's. I wanted it to be wild, and crazy. I wanted to have this huge bump, like some thing you'd see in a history book with the royals and thier tall wigs. So I had them give me this HUGE crazy bun on the side of my head, which only like half of my real hair, the rest was fake.
The Poses
Anetta: My hair was so heavy against my neck, that I ended up having to hold it. I figured, if I had to hold it, I'd make it look good. I also wanted the camera at a slight angle, because I think I look the best at an angle.
Jenessa: I wanted it to seem, like a real life photo shoot for like and Ad or something, so I had the camera stight on, and I tilted my and rest my hand up against it lightly.
Last Words
Jenessa: I love getting the chance to do my own full on photo shoot, it was really fun. It also showed me how hard everyone works behind the scenes.
Anetta: I agree with Jenners, this was really cool. And The workers all have my props now. I never knew how hard it was to get what you have in mind into a picture.
I love this time of the year, I always have. I catch myself looking forward to the fall.I used to do a lot of hunting and the anticipation of opening day grows the closer it gets! Now that I have got into photography I catch myself looking forward to the fall for all the color change and a trip to the mountains to try and capture the beauty of the "fall" scene. I have been waiting for a nice sunset to capture this image. As soon as the farmer lined the bales of hay up like this I knew that I would have to return for a sunset shot. I was blessed with some cloud cover which created some wonderful rays of light and some nice color. I hope everyone has a great nights sleep!
i liked the reflection of the man in the wet sand...
