just time for 1 more final sin....

[Peter Ryan]

Well done Kay. We need to see all the sins in one post at the end.

Up at the farm early today to collect the doors for my studio and take them to be stripped down. The sun was out the apple blossom over the old pump shed looked great.

I think that's a cracker. You've handled the spread of shadows and highlights beautifully. Really rich in tone.

Good image, although it would have been nice to see Mr Creosote too...

A variation of red red wine...

And I suppose that this one is 'seduction'? Excellent shot.

Several years ago, I won Arnold by guessing his name. These competitions never use a sensible obvious answer so I thought Arnold was the most unlikely from the list of possible names.

He has lived in this corner of my sitting room ever since.

Another grey day so I did some experimenting with flash settings and thought this would make a sufficiently difficult subject for test shots.

And the best results came from using the same principle that I use for my insect photos; manual setting of aperture, shutter speed and ISO to suit the scene, then adjusting the flash output to give a suitable result. (Canon 580 Speedlite directly attached to the hot shoe)

Geoff, there is counselling available for this sort of thing!

ps - He looks gorgeous. I want an Arnold too.

Thought I'd show off my lovely nails and hands .

Not quite in the same league as those in Post #1 of this thread, but very nice all the same!

[Wirefox]

I got them ol' day 29 blues

Love it Tim very psychedelic

Raylee, I really like what you have done with that shot. We see a lot of roses but this has a gorgeous twist. As Rob pointed out very seductive

Well done Kay. We need to see all the sins in one post at the end.

Cheers Peter- was thinking of that, but wonder what the word for 7 in a canvas is? maybe septich or septuptich?

Thankyou Donald - my equivalent of Rob's kitchen light is our side light's at the front door - no expense, keeps you know who..

Good image, although it would have been nice to see Mr Creosote too...

Thanks Tim - when I mentioned my plan to a few people they had no idea what I was up to and suggested I needed a bucket in shot or a messy plate with crumbs/scraps everywhere......but I opted for the 'less is more' plan, so I'm glad we're on the same wavelength.

My nail model is now released from servitude

[wilgk]

Very nice! - makes me think of the song "purple Rain" ....was it by Pink?....no oh well

[carregwen]

Or the chopping block?

Questions.... only two days to go chaps and chapesses.

Last night we had our first hard freeze. Our garden Ginko began dropping leaves as soon as the sun came up. By about 9 hours later the leaves were all down. It is a kindly tree and only drops its leaves when the wind is down so the collect in a not-too-big area.


I call this "Ginko Leaves Falling" Shot at 50mm, f/4, 1/25sec with my E-330 and Leica lens.


This is "Sea of Ginko" Shot at 32mm, f/8, 1/80sec E330 and Leica lens

Glorious to look at but I'll cuss them tomorrow when I have to rake them all up

I'm so proud of myself! I only took 3 pics today. Snaps of the wild turkeys that are always around this farm on this hill (in the road...) Anyway, sorry it's not too fancy.
