MizBrown Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 One new and one pulled out of the files and cropped a bit: I noticed a search for a cat profile. One of mine was in the viewed but not zoomed showing, but it was a three quarter view, not a true profile. I didn't have any true in earlier shots. Cats don't appear to like them. So, I got this one of Maude, my cat that has a coat close to the original wild Libyan cat subspecies that was domesticated. And I cropped two of my cats fighting that had been viewed but never zoomed, trying to get something more dynamic. This one was one of those "Gee, why didn't I add that one" sort of photos. I cropped it a bit since one side had a headlight right at the picture frame and the other side had a stray branch. Wanted the one headlight to show the time of day.

Did you use a flash on the tree? My wife loves to star gaze, and when we park our caravan in out of the way places, without light pollution, she will always find time after dark to peer at the sky. I confess to being ignorant of the heavens, I can just about pick out the plough, but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then signalled OH to turn the blue lights off in the bus and continued exposing for the sky for another 20 sec or so.

Colin Woods Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Last light on the pack ice on the St Lawrence here in Quebec City. Its a shame that there were no clouds to fill in the sky, but its still a lovely scene. Especially as here the spring has arrived 3 weeks early and it was about 14C when we were there shooting.

Blue and yellow sit opposite each other on the colour wheel, so they are a good combination when used together (Ikea use blue & yellow in their colour scheme) Other colours that work well together being green and magenta, or red and cyan. bedtime reading ! You may know this already tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial aim was to use my extension tubes to take some close up shots of the flowers but when I finally noticed the yellow against the blue sky, it was a no-brainer to remove the extension tube and take some of the yellow forsythia against the blue sky.

Colblimp Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Taken last night - this was one of two helicopters tasked with airlifting 7 fishermen off a trawler which had no power and was taking on water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not have been a choice you had, but anyway well done for not stopping the motion of the blades. Whenever I see that I'm tempted to look for the string. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once knew a cat who went by two names, either Winston or Churchill. He lived on my brother's street and was much more like a dog. He was a big fluffy thing who would go up to complete strangers and roll onto his back for a tummy rub. He was later run over by a car and lost a leg but it didn't dampen his spirits at all, and he still galumphed up to people on his three legs for tummy rubs. Every cat I ever had or petted would only tolerate a stroke or two on the belly before teeth and claws came out. I learned that lesson when I was 8, but still tried a few more times. After all, they offered the tummy!!! Suckered me in! Winston surely was an extraordinary cat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
