A fleeting moment!
Hello again to everyone! Firstly apologies to my fellow bloggers that I haven’t commented on any of your posts, but hey at least I’m looking at them, lol!! Time is very short (as is for everyone). This post is just to say hello, I’m still here! 😀 Harvest is going to be very early this year so this might be a fleeting moment, very much as this image was…We have had so little rain this summer, but one afternoon last month I saw this feather covered in rain drops on our back deck and thought – macro!

Converted to b&w using SEP2, with a blue filter to darken the background and camera exposure set for the white feather.
Delicate Strength….
A very big hello to everyone!!! It’s been a long time since I last posted, in fact, nearly 6 months! I hope everyone is well 🙂 A lot has happened since I was last here, as it would be for everyone. I look forward to catching up with all your posts 🙂 WordPress has had a lot of changes!! This image was taken yesterday early morning, it’s hot here and the cool of the morning was welcome. Glad to be back 🙂

Cloudscape….
This image is part of a series that I have been working on for a little while. Where I live we can get some amazing clouds, probably because it is often very windy and being in the country, very little haze from pollution.
Robyn from Captivate Me included me in the B&W Challenge where you post 5 consecutive B&W images and nominate a person to take up the challenge with each post, so this is my Day 1 of 5. In turn I am nominating Herman from Herman van Bon Photography. As Robyn has said, this is NOT a have to participate challenge but something that might be fun, but only if you have the time and inclination 🙂

Double take…
Hello again everyone 🙂 I hope everyone is well…Even though I have been absent from the blog, the images keep coming – I have enjoyed the film swap between Infrared Robert and Helen Briggs and it got me thinking about digital ‘in camera’ multiple exposures. The results for me so far have been unpredictable, ranging from the truly terrible to utterly mind boggling. This is one that is getting closer to what I want – a double exposure of grass in the wind. I like the odd colour (I have desaturated this quite a bit) and to me it expresses early summer 🙂

Golden Orb…
I am flat out with work at the moment and so this is the first time I have properly logged into WordPress for what seems an age (well 5 days!!), and is likely to be this way for another week or so. In turn, I am snatching photo opportunities when I can. This image was taken last Thursday morning just after sunrise with the fog so thick you could look at the shape of the sun 🙂

It’s in colour…Monochrome Madness 26!
This week is the 26th Monochrome Madness Challenge posted on Leanne Cole’s blog (Wednesday mornings AEST). Since it is a landmark posting of half a year, the challenge this week was to post a colour image that is monochrome. I do love my bits of old wood and found this one last Saturday – weathered to this silver grey with a hint of orange from the lichen. Congratulations to both Leanne and Laura Macky for starting and curating (Leanne being the curator) to what is fast becoming an institution 🙂

Impressions of the wind…
Something of a bit of an experiment today. A couple of weeks ago we had a day where the wind was averaging 75 kph (47 mph) with frequent gusts well over 110 kph (68 mph). I watched the tops of these gum trees which have newer growth being bent sideways in very harsh sunlight and was fascinated by the almost painterly like strokes they created as they moved back and forth.

Hare’s looking at you…!
It hasn’t been a good few weeks for taking any new images (but I’m NOT going to go on about the weather 😯 ). This is my image for this weeks Monochrome Madness Challenge which is curated by Leanne Cole. I posted this image in colour last December, but always thought it might work in mono…so here is this beautiful hare – all eyes and ears but now in black and white 🙂

Silhouettes in the fog…
This image sums up the last few weeks of weather for me – foggy, damp and cold. I took this on my way home from work last week with only about an hour left of any daylight and the fog getting thicker by the minute, manually focused as the camera struggled. There were trees that I had never noticed before, all in beautiful silhouette because of the fog 🙂
