#art #photography #womeninart

Call, I Follow, I Follow, Let Me Die. Model is Mary Ann Hillier. Carbon print, 350 x 267mm (13 3/4 x 10 1/2").

Julia Margaret Cameron - Scanned from Colin Ford's Julia Margaret Cameron: 19th Century Photographer of Genius, ISBN 1855145065. Originally from The Board of Trustees of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

Presented as a close-up, the image shows Hillier with her head slightly tilted back, eyes uplifted. Her loose hair frames her face, while the soft focus characteristic of Cameron’s style lends the image a dreamlike.

I’m an instructor of beginner photographers. On Sunday, I send an email with tips, tricks, articles, pictures, etc. Info I think students can use. It’s for both “regular” camera users and those who shoot with smartphones.

There’s mention of things to do where I am, but it’s mostly for beginning #photography students to help them take better photos - It's NOT for advanced shooters. 😃

The Jesus Christ lizard, famous for its ability to run across water to escape predators, pauses among leaves with bits of duckweed stuck to its face. Its prehistoric look contrasts with a delicate blue flower nearby, a quiet jungle moment with a legendary reptile.

As summer gives way to fall, sunflowers linger in the warm light, framing a rustic adobe doorway in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The weathered wood and earthen walls tell stories of time and tradition, while the blooms stand tall as a final farewell to the season. A perfect meeting of nature’s fleeting beauty and the enduring charm of the Southwest. 🌻🏜️

Surveillance

https://justin-farrimond.pixels.com/featured/surveillance-justin-farrimond.html

Under surveillance can have so many interpretations in the modern world. Here is a classic example of covert photography.
Perhaps I should stick to architecture and landscapes.

Sorting Memories

#ThrowBackThursday #Alzheimers #Caregiving #Dementia #Photography

A scattered collection of old, physical photographs from a family's photo album, depicting scenes from different periods of life, particularly childhood.

The overall impression is one of nostalgia and family memories, captured in a time before digital photography was common. The photos are arranged in a casual, overlapping pile, suggesting someone has just gone through them.

A return to the Kaleidoscopic series 🪞

Previously, they've all featured white space, either around the outside or in the centre.

It turns out, you can also get some pretty cool effects without that 🖤

More photos of the always beautiful borb that is the Long-tailed tit

#nature #birds #Wildlife #photography #NaturePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfMastodon #UK

The Long-tailed Tit is easily recognisable with its distinctive blush, black and white colouring. It also has a tail which is bigger than its body, and a bouncing flight. Sociable and noisy residents, Long-tailed Tits are most usually noticed in small, excitable flocks of about 20 birds. Like most tits, they rove the woods and hedgerows, but are also seen on heaths and commons with suitable bushes.

Good day sunshine.
#Photography

The image depicts a serene forest scene with a mix of birch trees and other vegetation.

In the foreground, there are clusters of yellow-leaved plants, possibly sumac, adding a vibrant splash of color. The birch trees, with their distinctive white bark and black markings, stand tall and slender, their leaves a mix of green and yellow, indicating the transition into autumn.
The background reveals a glimpse of a body of water, possibly a lake, with a clear sky above. The sunlight filters through the trees, creating a dappled effect on the ground.

The overall atmosphere is peaceful and natural, with a variety of plant life contributing to the scene's richness.

There is no complaining about the weather today! Taken this morning at Bryant Park ☀️
#Photography #NYC #AltText #StreetPhotography

A color photo of a small carousel in Bryant Park. The bottom left hand corner shows some of the pavement and then there is a black rod iron fence around a big square piece of greenery. In the middle of that is an old fashioned carousel. It has a blue and white striped top with a lot of gold ornamentation around the edges. You can see people in the shadows standing and holding their young toddlers on the carousel horses. In the background is a large green tree on the left and several big office towers behind everything in different shades of blue. It shows a beautiful spring morning.

The inner part of the ring is barker than the outside. There are some low clouds passing by cutting across the ring. There are some trees at the bottom.$
