I have photographed this waterfall on a variety of occasions - it is generally a challenging shoot owing to the amount of spray when there is a good amount of water coming over.

Thanks to Steve Pellatt for his excellent company!

My 8 yr old granddaughter and I had a hoot doing this. ALOT harder then I thought it would be. Guess Vaseline didn't stick as well as I hoped but still Ok.

Happy Smile On Saturday

One more with Vaseline smeared on the lens filter

It took me a while to decide to post this photo. The theme motion blur for Macro Mondays took me way out of my comfort zone with my camera. Moving away from the automatic switch is very new to me and it proved to be very challenging trying to create the blur effect. I must have taken hundreds of photos, I was quite excited when I got the results of this spinning Vaseline tin which fell off the table numerous times in my attempts. I would have cropped the lights out of the back but then I would have lost the edge of the tin. I will try this again when I have more time and patience :-)

PETER (trying to walk with the poop chair on his back)

Pffff....I'm so hot. Today it will be 30 degrees.

I hope help comes soon.

Any help is welcome. egg split spatula, plunger, vaseline or bowling ball, it doesn't matter. As long as I get rid of that poop chair

BRUNO: "The plunger was too big for Peter's head, so I'll take kingkong21's tip to heart and use the bowling ball he sent me to free Peter from the poop chair.... Mummy Kat! Help me! I can't get my paw out, pass me the Vaseline!"

ME: "None in the house! Salted butter works too..."

BRUNO: "Noooooo! Not yucky butter!"

Soft focus is a photography technique in which the image is deliberately slightly blurred. One way to achieve this is to apply some Vaseline to the lens. It is not recommended to apply the Vaseline directly to the camera lens. It is better to do this on a UV filter or a neutral protective lens, which is screwed in front of the camera lens. This keeps the camera lens itself clean.

...ho scoperto questa cosa bella dell'olio e i colori acrilici (immiscibili).

Ho riempito la bolla con acqua, Poi ho aggiunto un bel po' di olio di paraffina o vaselina (11 €/lt). Ho seminato in fretta le gocce di colore (tendono ad aggregarsi rapidamente) sia nello strato oleoso della bolla sia nell'olio da versare. Purtroppo, come un ebete, ho dimentica l'auto focus su attivo e quindi non è stato preciso. Accidenti!

Since I recently applied a fresh slathering of Vaseline to the bird feeder pole, Stumpy (the tailless squirrel) has to settle for the dropped sunflower seeds on the ground.

I didn't realize until I took this shot that he was a she, and probably the mother of many of the other squirrels in the yard. I guess Stumpy is not a very feminine name, but she'll always be Stumpy to me... :)

I'm taking back the knowledge

I'm taking back the gentleness

I'm taking back the ritual

I'm giving in to sweetness

I'm taking back the knowledge

I'm taking back the gentleness

I'm taking back the ritual

I'm giving in to sweetness

And I'm tripping out working on a revolution

Gonna let the day begin

And I'm working out time to time for evolution

Gonna let the music in

C'mon preacher man, shoot me with your poisoned arrow

But I dance on Vaseline

And I'm tripping out working on a revolution

Gonna let the music in

And I'm tripping out working on a revolution

Gonna let the day begin

And I'm working out time to time for evolution

Gonna let the music in

C'mon preacher man, shoot me with your poisoned arrow

But I dance on Vaseline

Macro Mondays (11.09.09) - Dreamy

This silk flower dreams of being a real flower some day... :0)

The focus is sharp on the flower's centre, while the edges and background are softly blurred, creating a shallow depth of field that makes the dahlia pop. I went back to the old school and used Vaseline around the perimeter of the UV filter

A simple trick to soft focus photography, Vaseline. Years ago when Catherine and I were shooting film a little trick we learned, and had fun with was to add {smear} some vaseline on a spare UV or clear filter. DO NOT do this on your lens!! You smear the petroleum jelly around the outer edges of the glass and try to leave the center of the filter clean and without the vaseline on it. A little alcohol on a paper towel can be used to clean the center should you get some of the jelly where you don't want it. Two other tricks to try that will give you a soft focus look is hair spray sprayed around the out perimeter of the filter, and you also can try shooting through a nylon stocking (with your wife's leg out of it) :) I haven't done this in years and I just thought about it again, found myself an unused filter, smeared the vaseline on it, and had some fun shooting the above images. Now you can buy soft focus filters, or for a much higher cost a LensBaby, and both will yield similar, but not quite the same results. But save yourself some money, smear 15 cents worth of vaseline on that filter and have some fun with it!

Happy April 15th to all of my American friends. Hope you bought your Vaseline and don’t worry: your tax return is in competent, capable hands. =)

Just a break between my Pendulum Aerial Arts series. I had to celebrate this once a year American tradition. I will be resuming my PAA series tomorrow.

An overcast morning has allowed me to get a good shot of this Vinnia Dahlia in the garden. Taken the old school way with vaseline dabbed around the edge of a 2ND filter.

I've affectionately named this yard rat Stumpy, as she apparently lost her tail to some unknown predator. Seen here as she contemplates whether or not I've put a fresh coat of Vaseline on the bird feeder pole.

The squirrels get their own supply of peanuts, but they prefer the sunflowers seeds at the top of the pole...
