Another technique!
If this looks familiar to you, that's likely because there are two other ways to achieve this effect, namely the well-known technique of connecting 1x2 tiles with minifigure hands (which, as far as I can tell, can be attributed to Barney Main) and this technique by Simon NH. However, if you are looking for something that is sturdier than the first option and don't own a bunch of 2x2 corner tiles, this variation might work for you. The key piece here is the inverted 2x2 tile, which can be combined with 1x2 tiles and a simple support structure in back. Rotating the pieces as far as is possible to get a rougher texture helps to distinguish the individual "bricks" in the wall from one another and makes for a more interesting texture. It's also helpful to utilize two colors rather than one. I originally though that this technique would be fairly limited in terms of color, but it turns out the 2x2 inverted tile is available in light and dark bley, tan, and sand green, so you can actually achieve a fair bit of variety with this technique in terms of color.
I'll be posting more techniques in the next couple of days (because a little bit of sensationalism never hurts :P ). If you've seen this technique before, please let me know! I don't want to "claim" techniques that other people discovered before I did. In any case, feel free to use this.
Following on from yesterday's shot of a short consist 6M18 at Long Eaton, this week's Saturday double helping goes even shorter, posing the question...."was it really worth it?"!...............

Per questa settimana niente self ("Era ora!" direte voi XD).
Con questo scatto a mo' di "cosa c'è nella tua borsa" voglio dire che ho voglia di viaggi, di mare, di scoprire posti nuovi e ovviamente immortalarli.
Quelle due foto analogiche sono tratte dai vecchi album delle vacanze dei miei genitori (nell'epoca dei capelloni) e quelli sono i miei nuovi pantaloncini fiorati -♥.
I've been very fortunate this past week.....three different dragonfly encounters on three separate days.
The shimmer of color on this fellow's wings was magical to see through the lens....

Theme for this week is Shadow. It's cloudy outside so I shot this indoors. Not too exciting, but kind of simple and sweet.
I love the weather at the moment. I like it when the colour of the sky turns into a cloudy but bright white, there is many wind but no rain. I often call this "Irish weather" ;-)

Song of the week: Mumford & Sons - Believe
One week ago today I stood at this spot, and now back home in San Francisco it almost feels as if I just imagined it. Even at the time it had a surreal quality. To have heard so much about Machu Picchu and seen so many images, then after four days of tough hiking to actually be standing there in the early morning light with this scene filling my field of vision… Really a unique, incredible experience.
Low clouds covered the peaks we’d hiked through the day before and there seemed to be a good chance Machu Picchu would be hidden under a gray blanket when we arrived. Instead the morning was unusually clear, with blue sky and sunlight on the ruins. Our group had uncanny luck the whole way. And that luck extended to the group itself. The people I hiked with turned out to be great – fun, friendly, laid back, good senses of humor – which made the whole experience that much better.
I’d wanted to do the ‘classic’ four-day Inca Trail hike for a long time and finally made a reservation back in June. The Peruvian government limits the number of people who can start the hike each day to 500 (which usually means only 200 tourists supported by 300 guides/porters/cooks), and typically all the spots are reserved months in advance, so you have to plan ahead. You also have to go with a certified tour operator. I chose Peru Treks and have nothing but good things to say about them.
The logistics make it tricky to fit the Inca Trail hike into a week-long vacation. Most tour operators require you to be in Cusco at least two days in advance so you can acclimate to the altitude. Cusco sits at about 11,000 feet and I can personally confirm that taking some time to adjust, especially coming from sea level, is really important. On my first day in Cusco a short climb up a flight of stairs left me winded and light headed. And just getting to Cusco takes a while. My flight had three legs – SF to San Salvador, to Lima, then to Cusco – which pretty much ate up a full day each way.
So I ended up leaving SF at about midnight on Thursday 10/15, getting to Cusco Friday night 10/16 and spending the weekend there, hiking the Inca Trail from Monday 10/19 through Thursday 10/22, hanging out in Cusco on Friday 10/23, checking out Lima on Saturday 10/24, and finally returning to SF around midnight on Sunday 10/25. Most of the other travelers I met were on much longer trips and I would have loved to have been able to spend more time exploring the rest of Peru. But all things considered I can’t think of many better ways to spend a week – truly an amazing trip. A lot more photos to follow.

I want this year to be an opportunity to be more present and aware of the privileged life I'm fortunate to live. 2019 was a year that often kept me in low places, and I continually found myself beneath a weight of burdens that I let tie themselves to me rather than let them pass over me.
To that goal, my partner suggested journaling to me. To write down the things that I struggle with. Write down the things I'm grateful for. Write down the things that are important to me.
My photography goals in 2020 mirror that of my mental health goals. I want to feel more open to being creative, and I want to be less selective about what I share. I want to spend less time under the weight of being perfect, or better than the last shot. I'm not built for that grind.
I scanned through the first journal entry I wrote in my new journal and came across the phrase "I want to be happy."
I wanted to share that piece of my journal without revealing all of my other sensitive things I'm writing about, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to embrace my photography goals as well.
I want to be happy. I want the people around to me to be happy and healthy as well.
Here's to a happy 2020.
Week 21: Nature
Kekeno (New Zealand Fur Seals) enjoying a lazy Sunday at Ngawi, Wairarapa, New Zealand.
I've been thinking about this kind of styling for PW Elyse for quite some time and lately finally found the time for some phto play :)
Location: Seven Weeks Poort in the Little Karoo.
Description: Seven Weeks Poort is easily one of the most awe-inspiring and spectacular of all the mountain ravines in South Africa. The magnificent vertical rock folds, reaching for the skies on both sides of the road, reflect the inconceivable forces of the volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Often the converging slopes leave only a narrow pass, just broad enough for the Huis River to pass through, while the precipices of naked, distorted rock-faces tower like walls of a natural rampart, obscuring the sun.
This photograph is dedicated to everyone who thinks it’s cool to break into someone else’s car to steal stuff... may they all rot in hell!

24/52 for 52 weeks for dogs. I took this pic trying to fulfill this challenge I picked up:
"I'd like to challenge you to shoot in manual mode on your new camera acheiving a shallow dof. (bokeh) with a colorful background. I like to see a full body shot, too (or close).
Something along the lines of this one (previous pic) but add a colorful background like flowers or something more than just one solid color. Something with red it it would be pretty cool!"
I tried some other things inside first that I didn't like. Then I looked for a colorful setting backdrop outside, but it is early in the growing season still here in MN and there is lots of green and not much color. Tried a colorful blanket but didn't like that either. So I finally settled on a field of dandelions at the retriever club. A few things I wish were different, but overall I liked how this turned out, esp. the brightness of her one eye. This is out of the camera with no processing (and yes I did use manual settings). I also did learn some other things about my new camera, which was the point. Can't decide if I like that she was already wet, but that is typical her...

new dawn fades
I finally managed to take some new photos even if it was now how I imagined it. I'm pretty tired and ill but next weeks seems pretty exciting so I hope I will get better.
Week two. Theme: Red.
It took less than a week for me to remember why it is I'm not fond of shooting self portraits. Getting the focus sharp, ensuring the settings are how you like them, composing a shot nicely without really looking through the viewfinder, trying to look at least vaguely photogenic, plus (this time) shielding the camera from the lovely English rain... cor blimey. 51 weeks from now I'm hoping this will all be second-nature! From this week's shoot I came out with a handful of serious shots, a handful of smiley shots and this slightly scratchy, very frowny out-take (wind blowing hair into eyes = grumpy face!). Nathalie & Serena told me to go for the frowny shot (scary!), so here it is. Might brave a little blog post of the rest later this week. Hope you like it :]

I was lucky enough to get a number of pictures in Newcastle this week and couldn't decide which one to use for the theme this week. But since the theme Category is also Abstract, I liked the way this picture has pieces of reflection from all the buildings around it in a rather abstract manner. Its a bit like a mosaic of reflections.
There has been a lot of blue in my project this year. Honestly, this week it's because I didn't plan and I was looking for some textures to use later and this wall stuck out. I'll try to be more intentional next week.
I really do think IR lends itself to architecture photography, as it brings out the contrasts within the buildings, but also between the buildings and any vegetation. Also used Topaz for the first time as the Nik collection appears to have uninstalled itself after the Photoshop 2017 update!
I forgot my tripod when I went to the states,and I wasn't in a self portrait mood but I took some pics anyway(none of them really good but I really want to finish the 52 weeks project so I am posting them anyway)
Week 3/52
Daydreaming of good things to come. There will always be those grey clouds that fog your hopes and dreams, but the sunshine is just beyond the mist.
...
I had hopes of shooting outside today, but the weather was miserable, so instead I made a fort of clouds in the living room.
That's right: I'm pregnant!! (PS. I'm 25 so no that poor 16 year old business haha)
Ever since I saw the absolutely wonderful maternity series by Pacing the Panic Room I knew that I had to do this when I was pregnant. Then I saw James, of Bleubird Vintage, beautiful series with her little one and it made me need to do it even more.
We began late as we waited to till we had told everyone, and I was showing more to start.

In Japan, there is a big holiday season in the late of April and the beginning of May. It's called 'Golden Week'.

I am new to Photoshop and tried a few different composites. In the end however, I went back to Andre's dreamscape process using an image taken on the morning we spent at Shampers Bluff. Several of you will no doubt recognize the spot.

52 weeks of 2015
Yay! My 52 week challenge came to an end.
Despite ups and downs this year I managed to finish my challenge.
I have to say, I really enjoyed my second year of this challenge. It got me out of my comfort zone, I learnt quite a few new things in photography and I met some interesting people along the way.
If you would like to join me for the 2016 - 52 week challenge here is a link to the group on flicker: www.flickr.com/groups/52of2016/
It doesn't matter what camera you own or what level of photography you are at, you will get help and guidance every week and you will also learn one or two new things in photography.
It's a great challenge and anyone can do it.
