I liked the uniform background of this one as well as the little guy all on his own.
Maybe it should be called where did all the flowers go?

Thanks, I've been searching for different viewpoints in Brum for a while. Hence my recent visits to a few of the lesser visited back streets of the city.
Thank you.
I liked the lighting for this shot. Makes you think of Springtime walks etc.

One of a couple of different species of tulips in my yard . Thought I'd lost them when I had the oil tank pulled a few years back , but somehow they survived ...

Not completely happy with it, but it's a start.
Got a series of instagram photos I am somewhat proud of, but with no instagram anymore to post them, so I'll be spamming you all with a few over the next few days.

Not just for the Brits! I have very fond memories of the Triumph TR6. My father had two of them (not at the same time) when I was a kid and some of the best times I had with him were running weekend errands with him in this car. He worked the afternoon shift in the factory at Ford and went to school during the day so we didn't see him (awake) as much as we would have liked (he eventually got an engineering degree after eight years and went on to work at Ford HQs). And I certainly don't remember seeing another Triumph in Detroit; I wouldn't be surprised if there were fewer than ten in the whole state of Michigan at that time.
You have to excuse me for the long exposition. After a long bout with dementia my father passed away late last year so seeing this car ...
Glad the photo brought back some fond memories. I'll post another tomorrow. Same car but more for us DAWG fans.
Had the second part of a Mindful Photography group for over 50's artists on Wednesday, and we went into the hills in search of Autumn colours. It was pretty disappointing actually, due to the Indian summer we have had and the extended heat the trees are really late in changing colours and a lot haven't got the intense reds and oranges we were after. We had to make do with lots of close ups instead of larger landscapes to try and convey that.

I was in Yosemite and San Francisco in February. Went to Yosemite to photograph the Horsetail Fall "Firefall". Unfortunately the Firefall didn't happen this year as it was too cold and the water run-off above El Capitan hadn't started yet. With hindsight, I was happier to get shots with weather other than blue sky and bright light on the peaks - we even had snow on the ground at times.
Outstanding.
Some leaves.

Here's a nice touristy photo taken last week in Pigeon Forge, TN.
This was taken with a Nikon F100 and the awful 18-35 f/3.5-4.5. Even though it's a terrible lens, it still has a place in my bag because it's an ultra-wide zoom that weighs a little of nothing, has an aperture ring for use on all film bodies, and can take normal filters(77mm). The 17-35mm f/2.8 has most of these same attributes except that it weighs a ton. My much beloved 14-24mm f/2.8 is fully compatible with the F100, but of course filters are a difficult an expensive proposition(I consider filter use a lot more important in film than in digital-with film you're often good with a polarizer and an ND, while you need colored filters for B&W and for slide film you want both color correction and grads).
In any case, this is on Velvia 50 and shot through a Hoya "Moose" polarizer. These are filters that have largely been forgotten in the digital age(even though they are still available new), but they were made at the request of Moose Peterson and combine a circular polarizer with an 81A warming filter.
At f/32, I managed a shutter speed of 1/4 second on this photo, but should have had an ND with me to knock it down a bit more(or let me open up to make this awful lens a little less awful). A grad would have been welcome also for some of the photos I took that day. I am glad I've at least managed to learn my way around Nikon Scan fairly well-in combination with the Coolscan V it can actually pull out more shadow detail than I can get with a good flatbed like my V700. The actual slide(even projected) is darker than it looks here, and Velvia has a crazy high Dmax.
