Photo of the day April 2016

[Ish]

A wild flowering plant I saw on a mountain ridge a few Springs ago in Alaska (no idea of what it is):

A type of heather would be my guess, but @Ish is our resident horticulturalist!

Lol! I'm more familiar with European plants, I'm afraid, but it might be a species of Pedicularis, a parasitic plant. Not a heather as their flowers are more of a short rounded tube.

Well you'll just have to do some more travelling! I knew you'd have a better idea than me.

@Apple fanboy I'm off to a conference in the States next week. Mr Ish is taking part and doing some presentations and I'll be taking the photos. Won't be able to get away from the hotel complex so I'll have to see what's on site.

A spa? A bar? A restaurant?
I think you'll be okay.
Enjoy your trip and hopefully Mr ISH will have a little time to spend with you.

Genius

Thanks, MacRy!

This lighting set up works better. She looks much more natural than yesterday's!
Actually this is a stunning shot. Keep them coming.

Thanks, AFB -- I have a few more that I'm working on.

How's the full time gig going?

I reckon you missed the morning dew, but just sprayed the grass so you didn't have to mow it. I'm always telling Mrs AFB it's too wet to cut (which it often is!).

God yeah best trick in the book... Too wet.. Will hack it up and ruin it...

18 years of marriage. You have to be on top of your game if you want any photography time!
How's the garden makeover coming along?

 

[Hughmac]

I'll rise to it then... it was really dew, although I don't know where the coloured bits of bokeh came from, but it was only just the morning when I took it.

By the way, the grass is way too wet to cut

Cheers

Hugh

It is killing me. I have been shovelling chuckies - the small stones. bags and bags of the things! my back aches and my legs are killing me. No sympathy from the boss mind you!

3 girls, 3 supervisors I'm guessing? Good luck with it anyway.

I've been kicking around an idea for a shot like this for a bit, so I decided to experiment with it today -- not sure how I feel about it.

Another NIK freebie playabout. Can do a lot of the stuff in C1P relatively easily except for the textures (e.g. old/degraded film) that I would use Pixelmatr for. SOOC photos were pretty poor with lots of elections on glass and a general haze above the city. Comments always appreciated.

I like this one better, more the angle than anything. This one looks alive!

I think this is amazing!
[doublepost=1459766666][/doublepost]So, I went out for lunch with the girls yesterday and took a picture of an ornate lamp on the wall outside the Busby Hotel in Glasgow.

I took the picture but I was left wanting something from it. It felt cold and sterile so I had a play in LR.

I know I am only allowed one image a day and I could PS them together but I wanted to post both and get comments.

Definitely the second one. Love the tone of it.
