Hi guys and gals!

I'm super excited to let you all know that today, after 2 months of tweaking and testing, I've finally released my Presets package for Lightroom!

I invite you all to download and try it out, and I hope that it'll save you plenty of time during your post processing journey.

In this image I used the Shadow Dancer Lightroom Preset to create the colours that you see there. I couldn't think of a more suitable image to formally release with this one other than a nifty hot air balloon floating into the sky.

Anyway let us know how you go with the use of those presets and as always your valuable feedback is important to me.

Peace to you all, stay hip and stay awesome!

Kåkbrinken is the name of this small street in Stockholm Old Town (Gamla stan). The name is first attested in 1477. 'Brink' is not a word really used today, but mostly survives in names. It means a short slope. 'Kåk' is used today, it is slang for 'house' - and Kåken ('the kåk') actually means prison. But that was not what it meant back in the 15th century, then it meant pillory. This street was named after the pillory found on the square at one end of this street. But it is safe to say that most Swedes today would not know that is the case! (I myself, and I've studied history, found out when I read up on the name.)

I used to work with painting on glass, china, paper... I meant a creative job was always important to me.

In this new phase I feel the necessity of find some details to add to my photos. I'm discovering how amused is work with Photoshop, despite of doing only some things with it until now. So, sorry for the montages with questionable taste.

I used to be angry at my friend Doug for skipping rocks in Moraine Lake on an unreal day... I'm starting to change my mind on the subject haha. September 30th of last year remains one of my most memorable days for moments captured like this.

I used up all the plain flour making these clouds. this is taken in my favourite golden fields which are so nice and orange at this time of year. I love seeing how nature changes throughout the seasons

We used my car as a blind that morning and found some nice even shade light and waited for this fella to calm down. Although this was a distant shot, I really like the swag he showed in this unique pose.

Days That Used To Be_Neil Young

People say don't rock the boat, let things go their own way

Ideas that once seem so right, now have gotten hard to say

I wish that I could talk to you and you could talk to me

'Cause there very few of us left my friend

From the days that used to be

Seem like such a simple thing to follow one's own dream

But possessions and concession are not often what they seem

They drag you down and load you down in disguise of security

But we never had to make those deals

In the days that used to be

Talk to me, my long lost friend, tell me how you are

Are you happy with your circumstance, are you driving a new car

Does it get you where you want to go, with a seven year warranty

Or just another hundred thousand miles away

From the days that used to be

I over-dyed this wool from T. The greens are so brilliant, I almost don't want to use them. I just want to keep looking at them stacked up with their edges all whispy...

Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me

Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)

Where did all the blue skies go?

Poison is the wind that blows

From the north and south and east

Woah mercy, mercy me, yeah

Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)

Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas

Fish full of mercury

Oh Jesus, yeah, mercy, mercy me, ah

Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)

Radiation underground and in the sky

Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

Hey, mercy, mercy me, oh

Hey, things ain't what they used to be

What about this overcrowded land?

How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Oh, na, na, na

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hey, ooh, woo

19:52 Using artificial light

I think most of you know of my forays into the neighbors' yards to shoot their flowers. Well, today I wanted dandelion seedheads, so, with bucket in hand, I walked for several blocks, and picked off the seedheads off the dandelions from peoples' yards. I'm sure they would be happy about that, right?

Then you can imagine how long it took me to stuff them into six bottles. All for a shot :)

Shot in my lightbox.

View large for all the tiny details :)

used a 3 stops NiSi soft GND filter and stopped down a lot for the sunburst effect.

Thanks everyone for visiting my stream :-)

(The blue pillows are part of wedding preparations which were going on when we visited.)

The mosaics behind the altar is perhaps one of the most famous from late antiquity / early medieval there is - dating from the 5th century. It depicts Jesus in the middle in golden robes with the Torah in his hand. St Paul is to the left of him, and St Peter to the right. The twins Cosma and Damiano are standing behind them, one on each side (though it is impossible to tell who's who - they are depicted as identical twins). To the far right is St Theodore - and to the far left the founder of the church pope Felix IV, holding a model of the church. Felix is actually a reconstruction (but generally thought to be well done) since a later pope replaced him with a portrait of pope Gregory the Great(!). Felix was restored in the 17th century.

The church Santi Cosma e Damiano was founded in 527 by Theodore the Great when he and his daughter Amalasuntha donated two buildings to pope Felix IV - the buildings being the Temple of Romulus and the Temple of Peace, built by emperor Vespasian. These buildings are the foundation for this church. Today it is hard to see how it is possible - standing in the church you can, through a window, look down into the Romulus temple. But this is due to the in the early 17th century the floor in the church was raised with some 7 metres and a new entrance was made - and left the temple of Romulus back at (the old) ground level. The same renovation also added new side chapels and a new ceiling.

I have long had this creature on my Bucket List of shots I wanted to capture. My husband took a trip to YNP with a friend and was able to spot a badger burrow. I was so envious when he came home with a few shots. On one outing, I saw a badger moving through the weeds with the tail showing, but never did I get the full view. Finally in 2021 I found my first Badger family.

The location was in YNP near Lamar Valley. I spent many hours watching for some action. Mom, (the sow) often peeked out of the burrow (setts) to check out the photographers. The American Badger is a nocturnal hunter. They are fossorial carnivores, as they catch a large portion of food when they tunnel after rodents with great speed. This badger was a solitary, with only one home. Mom had three cubs (kits), but on the day of filming, a coyote had capture one baby. The next day, another cub disappeared. Mom was very attentive, and would pull the badger out for daily grooming. I think she actually felt safer with the photographer watching her home. When Mom did leave the burrow, I was shocked to see her long body (which can be 23-30 inches long and can weigh 14-19 lbs. for females and the bore can weigh more). I never saw the male.

They have powerful front claws and can run 16-19 mph for a short distance. They eat coyotes and other small mammals, with added protein from worms and bugs. The grizzled black-brown and white pelts are used for shaving brushes and paint brushes. The America Indian along with other groups often ate the meat from the badger.

A single remnant from a box of mini crackers provided the perfect item for the single use challenge.

We used today to dive into the history of the Danish West Coast visiting the Tirpitz Museum in Blavand as well as the open air museum of Nymindegab. I can highly recommend both locations for people who love to learn more about the life of our ancestors in previous centuries. Nymindegab, Jylland, Denmark

I decided to think outside the box for the patterns theme and go for ICM in the bluebell woods at Blickling Hall in Norfolk. I used a ND grad filter to cut out some of the light and moved the camera in a downwards movement.
