I used to see Reminisce's work everywhere in SF in the early 90's and she had a big influence on getting me into graffiti along with the work of TWIST.

This area in the wetlands used to be a nice green grassy area with manicured bushes with a functional tennis court . It is now a fire hazard with a completely unusable tennis court filled with trash.

My beautiful roses, that--over time, despite the best of care and food and medicine and antifungals--succumbed to various diseases mostly brought on by the vicious heat and humidity they had to endure.

Sweet memories of their beauty in their prime.

I used to ride my bike along a local path throughout many years. As time went by. I gained an interest in going on walks and lost an interest in riding my bike. With that considered. Today was the first time that I have been on that old path in a long time. But instead of riding a bike. I was walking it for the first time in a long while. It felt refreshing to see all the things I've missed. And all the new plants and trees I've yet to discover.

Turquoise is used to describe things that are of a light greenish-blue colour. ... a clear turquoise sea.

Spring, also known as springtime, is one of the four temperate seasons, succeeding winter and preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring (or vernal) equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with daytime length increasing and nighttime length decreasing as the season progresses.

Use all the colors of nature to light up the light that is inside you!

I had three fairly good images for Macro Mondays theme. I thought I would throw onw out early lest they sit in the queue forever.

Macro Mondays

Using manual focus to blur the leaves and flowers surrounding this little cluster of azaleas.

Using my wide angle. as a framing technique plus exaggerating the distance in this frame. The colours and landscape is real

She used to stop on that bench with the illusion

That behind her the sunset wasn't just a colored wall of orange-red sun

The tree next door with its autumn leaves

A magical touch of a children's book

The leaves fell silently on the bench

And on the ground creating a colorful carpet of light

There wasn't much traffic along that stretch of road

And that's exactly why he chose her

No passerby would have sat next to her,

no car would disturb his thoughts

but now she's not here and the tree and the bench wonder why

there will be no answers

there will be no other days

harmony is shaken by a shiver of wind

another trembling leaf has fallen

everything is silent now on that stretch of road...

Used some elements there along the north rim of the Grand Canyon for this composition.

A use for the wide angle lens (10mm). Never been able to catch more than half this scene without stitching before. But it is taking some getting used to.

First used normal oil painting effect at 70%. Had planned to crop, but really enjoyed the surrounding foliage so decided against it. Finished by enclosing in the film strip 6 frame, which also darkened some of the photo corners. Located in my neighbor K’s rose garden.

How many times were you awe struck by towering, majestic mountains or dunes, and overwhelmed by their incredible vertical scale? Yet, when you return home and look at your images, they don't seem to convey the grandeur? In my article I explain and illustrate with examples how you can use your telephoto to convey a sense of that vertical scale. Please feel free to read the article at this link. I hope you enjoy!

This image: A sail boat emerges from the shadow of a towering cliff face as it makes its way through the outer limits of the awe inspiring O-Fjord in East Greenland's Scoresby Sund. I hope this image conveys the incredible scales of this wild place!

Used to spend my nights out in a barroom

Liquor was the only love that I'd ever known

But, see, you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom

Brought me back from bein' too far gone

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey

You're as sweet as strawberry wine

You're as warm as a glass of brandy

Honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time

I used to think peace would arrive dramatically. Like a door finally opening somewhere.

Instead it comes quietly sometimes in moments like this — where you stand in the middle of nowhere with flowers brushing against your legs and suddenly remember that being alive is not a task to complete.

Happy Macro Mondays

Horizontal Tanks used to store old Terlaner wines at the Cantina Terlan winery in Alto Adige, Italy.

Actually, these are Charmat Tanks, designed to make sparkling wines, but never used for that purpose. Unusual as well in that most tanks are vertical - you get more area on the lees in a horizontal tank and can also be easier to maintain

Used Tools:

Sony A7 Mark II

Cyclop 85/1.5 (also known as Helios 40-2 but without aperture blades).

Golden hour photography uses the soft, warm, diffused light just after sunrise or before sunset, creating a magical, flattering glow with long shadows and rich red/gold tones due to the low sun angle filtering light through more atmosphere.

It's ideal for portraits and landscapes, adding depth and a dreamy quality.

Not quite the same in black and white.

Shooting in black and white during the golden hour

shifts focus from warm colours to light, shadow, texture, and mood, creating dramatic, high-contrast images with long shadows and ethereal light, emphasising form and emotion over hue, and often revealing timeless, classic compositions.
