The 'hanging things' are Longdon which is a cousin to Lychees. I LOVE Lychees. They are 'to die' for but if I can't get lychees I'm more than happy to stuff myself with Longdon.
While you lucky folks are basking in the sun down south here is what we have to be contented with for the past 3 days, hopefully we will have some sunshine once it clears..........
One of the things I like best about Hawaii is the colour and variety of flowers and birds that is there. Everywhere there is water, greenery and colourful birds, colourful flowers and people. Am...

AHA!!! YES - HERON ! I was positive this bird was some sort of Heron but when the local fellow was so insistant on Kingfisher I didn't argue. In my area Herons look like this fellow. Not exactly but...

I like the concept Ken and, although I find I can achieve somewhat similar results without additional software, I DO want to investigate it further, (when I can find the time, trouble with being...
Just back from a week in a cottage at a village called Ellenabeich on the island of Seil on the west coast of Scotland (about 16miles from Oban) just a stone throw from the slate island of Easdale,...

Nice one Ken, :) I love to see people using the technology available to make as good a picture as they can, it is no different to the old time photographers using the tricks available to them at the...
Yesterday afternoon we had brief thunderstorm for about 10 mins with huge black clouds looking rather spooky at the time. Soon afterwards the sun shone & my first glimpse of rainbows this year....
I was out in the garden on Monday as it was quite sunny where I live, a dwarf Willow was starting to flower so I took a few pictures of the pollen laden flowers and some insects on them.
I put this in Hobbies cause now that we're down to a mere 20 hours of rain per day Garage Sale season has started. I'm drawn to them like a magnet. If I'd of never found a deal I doubt I would...

I just takes loads and loads of the same subject so there is usually at least one good one, then edit them on the computer.
What do you think the rest of us do Bill :lol: :lol:
I sometimes think I'm daft or must have a screw loose but I often see 'faces' in certain things. Anytime I look at a pansy I automatically see a happy face.
Are there any other things you see...

Christine it is only when the Pansy face starts talking to you and making sense..THEN it is time to retire :))

I didn't realize that a fixed 35mm would give a bigger aperture
Not quite LLL....you could have a 35mm fixed focal length lens with say f5.6 maximum aperture,,,,all to do with the optics and the...

Nice picture LLL and I agree it does look a bit Russian looking :)
I suppose that may be because the Orthodox Catholic Church, a name that one sector uses to reffer to itself, can trace its origins...
I took this photo of the moon from the Ferry Tarmac while I was waiting to catch the morning ferry back here from the island. It seemed easy to take it in daylight. Haven't mastered a night time shot...

Hey, no need for either of you to wait that long ;) there will be another full moon in a month and maybe better skies, the closeness is just an illusion, it hardly makes any difference to taking a...

What appeals to me about water photos is the reflection ability. I've seen some totally fantastic mountain shots where the mountains, trees etc are all mirrored back on the water.
