Photo of the Day April 2017

Took this specifically with my son in mind. He loves balls. Felt it would work better to shoot it in IR to have the grass light in tone compared to the football. With a standard camera, the tones of the grass would have blended into the tones of the football.

Other sheep.

Odd isn't it that seeing spring lambs is a real downer for me. I suppose being a veggie for the last 35 years might have something to do with it!

What is the black lollipop stuck in the ground for?

I believe it's a sprinkler system. I suppose I could have tried to clone that out along with the sign on the left.

Bluebells in the wood by another scotsman, on Flickr
Comments always appreciated.

Really like how the depth of field isolates the flowers. The only thing I found distracting are the blurred flowers in the upper half of the picture. I think cropping the top half out would focus all the attention on the bluebells. Just my two cents.

Cheers George - Intention was to give the impression of a carpet of bluebells but I can see what you mean about the potential for distraction. I'm afraid I'm a bit ambivalent about this type of OOF shot - but they seem to be all the rage so I gave it a go. I'll post something else and see if there is an improvement.

I woke up to this being "Explored" on Flickr:

That looks surprisingly menacing.

A new one from me: the zoo in Münster had an exhibition with Chinese light sculptures. I know that these below are supposed to be moon crescents, but they look a lot like bananas. With faces.

I like the concept of this shot as much as I like its execution. And the feelings this picture evokes in this road trip taking (when he can manage it) car guy completes it for me. Very nice.

Another one from the Clyde, upstream of Dundaff Linn, this is part of Bennington Linn. Uncharacteristic low levels of rain meant little flow Comments always appreciated.

What was he fishing for - don't just say fish - please.

The greenness of this scene is a real attraction. Was the vignette added later?

I might have cropped instead - but - your way is a good way.

I'm sorry, I haven't a clue what fish stocks are in that pond.

The shot was taken with a Sony A7 and 1970s Nikkor-H 50mm f/2 lens - I didn't have a wide angle with me at the time - then processed with Google Nik HDR Efex, which added the vignette in post.

Cheers
