A newly fledged Robin came to the dinner table this morning. This was the only easily accessible Mourning Dove nest I could find. Mind you I still had to get the ladder out, prop it up against an ajoining tree to take shots, without distubing the dove family. I've never seen doves or dove babies. My hubby and I was talking about having never seen Pigeon babies either, even though I seem to get a yard full of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At present I'm taking a break, ejoying the summer, kayaking, cycling, riding, and of course photographing wildlife, of all kind. Head over to the facebook page, as I have posted some images of the Mouring Doves, which although I sized them down, not as much as I would have to on here, in the campus. I have never had so many Mourning Dove pairs as this year. I have six nesting pairs that I have found. THis family, although high up in a tree, it was fairly accessible, to take photos off.

For instance when you visit Amsterdam, our capital, on the "Dam" a big square with our national monument there are hundreds and it is now forbidden to feed them. Where I live I see and hear doves on a daily basis but they are difficult to take a photo of. We just take them for granted, more or less that is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrie Kinkel Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Last week I took photos on a little meadow stretch nearby and this week I went there again. Last week the thistle wasn't in bloom but already had fat buds and yesterday when I passed there on my way to the station I saw its vibrant flowers from a distance. At that moment I had to catch the train but on my way home I had plenty of time to take a couple of shots. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would pass for a macro shot. Tremendous contrasting depth of field too. Edited July 19 by Sue Thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still amazed by what is possible with one of the newer iPhones, of course it took time and was a bit of learning curve before I could use its full potential. At the same time there are are limitations of what I can do opposed to a good camera, but I can live with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharla Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Week 29 No photo. Instead, a mini layout to remind me that I’d come to end of spending 100 days reading / studying Dante. The image is a book cover that I’ve altered a little. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always trying to think of different ways to do anything. Not that I watch much telly, but when I do I look for interesting material that I can recreate and use, especially in adverts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrie Kinkel Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 My cousin and I took a daytrip, something we do once a year and this time we went to Amsterdam. We wanted to see a multimedia spectacle about the old, world famous Dutch painters. The event takes place in an old, abandoned gasworks and is called Fabrique des Lumières. The makers used over 325 artworks from 50 different Dutch painters from the 17th century onwards. There were big laser projections on the walls, roof and floor of the building with an explosion of colors accompanied by music fitted for the topics presented like cityscapes, warscenes, romance, still lifes, flowers and it ended with Mondriaan in New York with the Boogie Woogie. It felt as if we were walking through the paintings. A great experience! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Ewart Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Week 28 Scripts used (apart from Counting Cards1-Weeks) Custom Playing Card Lifted Photo I used the tutorial called: Button the back ground is made from a Kaleidoscope tile. After flood filling a layer I duplicated it and chose Multiply to get it darker. then I added a texture (texture effects>texture>squares). The kaleidoscope is subdued and probably wont show up here. I inner bevel and shadowed the outer frame and each text vector all separately. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the layout but if you don't mind me saying so, the shadow on the lifted card strikes me as a bit strange. The card has a rounded edge and the shadow is a pointed. I think it should be a tiny bit more rounded. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should be a tiny bit more rounded. What do you think? I do agree. It is the shadow that came with the lifted photo when I ran the script. I wouldn't attempt to do a shadow like this, maybe after the upcoming workshop. I wonder if something happened to it when I grouped it with the card and copy and pasted it into the layout. I will have to take a look at the orginal lifted photo layers. Thank you for the compliments on the T-cups. I had been collecting them for over 25 yrs, because they were so pretty. little pieces of art that I could afford. Now I'm trying to pick only my most favorite ones to keep. It's very hard to do. I managed to get down to about 30, but would like to get down to 12. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
