another shot of the abandoned mill at haworth.
Very nice parkin pig...well done! I would clone-out the fencing in front of the arched doorway, print it and hang it on a wall.

Today I have been mostly doing Studio......

What is it please? I'm guessing its made from aluminium looking at the texture?

Looks like one of those roads you really want to speed down. Like Top Gear always seem to find.
The 'honeypot' towns and villages in the Lake District get busier from now on - this is Lake Windermere at Bowness Bay - but it's not hard to escape the crowds...

Inspired by Peter (Cheese&Apple) and his weekly contest, last week. Thanks, Peter! 
This poor fellow was found in a stairwell of an empty building I explored yesterday in the CBD.

Alex is doing some piano tuning these days, that may help you out...

Thanks Peter, I'll have a go at cloning the fence out. Shame it was there really. It doesn't prevent access to the building, although I'm guessing it once did.

Amazing to see one of these tiny little guys in so much clear detail MCH-1138.

I really like this shot Alex and I'm not just saying that because of the contest acknowledgement. Well, it may have a little bit to do with it.
Seriously, this looks like it would make a great album cover. Don't ask me which band.

I think a "creamier" and "smoother" bokeh would really have been preferable; IMHO the bokeh here is very distracting......
Nice! Sounds like it could be a good write up on your site about how you combined images to achieve this composite.
Thanks, xStep. Not sure how exciting that is, though. Take half a dozen frames with water spots in different areas and composite to remove water spots. YAWN.

Brilliant colors, spot on focus.. A beauty, Socks.

I get what you mean and I think that bokeh can be very subjective. I agree that it would help make the lilac pop more and be less distracting if it was smoother, but I like the abstract feel it gives to the overall image. That's what makes it more interesting to me rather than just a picture of some lilac.
Thanks for the comment.

Thanks, Doylem -- that's basically the effect I was going for. The image has been cropped some, but he was only about 25 cm from the end of the lens hood (45 cm from the focal plane, according to EXIF data, which is close to the minimum focus distance for this lens). So the camera is basically in his kitchen, so to speak. This one was tripod-mounted and remote-fired.
Thanks, Peter -- I have plenty of "just misses" where they have darted out of the plane of focus (as you might imagine), especially when shooting this close. But it is always fun to download at the end of the day and find out that I got one or two where everything seems to have come together.
A great team a couple of weeks back:

It was a really fun shoot (I reckon the sun being out did help).
I ended up producing this short little video if anyone is interested:

It's a photograph of an upright piano's iron plate. When a piano is tuned to proper pitch, it can have up to 15 tons of tension inside it, hence the beefy iron plate.
