Due to a but of an issue with my ankle - sort of self inflicted by running about with H in the dark! - I have not been out and about much over the last couple of weeks.
This is an oldish image, where I was trying to do both near and far in a single image. The shape in the sign is a cormorant, one of the more common water birds at Blackburn Lake.
I'm glad I have an archive!
You can find more macro shots at Macro Monday 2 and I love Macro.
Enjoy the pictures!
heel mooi gedaan.
ReplyDeleteHi Stewart Now this looks very interesting and looks like sculture. How did you use photoshop?
ReplyDeleteI love this sort of experimentation. Hope you re having a good weekend and that you will be better soon.
Hi Marget - no use of photoshop - the sign is cut from a solid sheet of iron - I focused on the background through one of the holes in the sheet of iron - all one shot, which almost no manipulation (there is a slight crop)

I LIKE that sign!!
ReplyDeleteHope your ankle heals soon!!
I love this sign, very cool! I hope you ankle heals soon, take care.
ReplyDeleteThat is very neat. Sorry to hear about the ankle. You didn't say broken or sprained but whatever hope you're staying off it so it can heal.
ReplyDeleteVery nice sign. Oh Stewart so sorry about your owie or big huge owie.
ReplyDeleteHow did you do that?
Or is it still from your old ankle energy?
pretty cool signage. hope your ankle heals!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sign and a really terrific capture for the day, Stewart, as always!! I do hope your ankle heals soon! No fun getting around with a bad ankle -- I know, I had one several years ago! Take care and have a good week!
ReplyDeleteStewart! You cannot be doing what we once did decades ago at this stage of our lives. I'd like to have the metal art in my yard. Get better soon.
ReplyDeleteVery cool photo & metal cutting!
ReplyDeleteNot so cool about your ankle, sorry to hear that. My husband broke his ankle about a year and a half ago.. it really put a damper on hiking & activity that involved a lot of walking for quite a while. Speedy recovery, Stewart!
Sorry to hear of your ankle. Hope you get well soon. Photographers (especially digital photographers) always huge archives to fall back on at such times :)
ReplyDeleteNice capture of the signpost.
Clever capture! Hope you're on the mend!
ReplyDeleteCool...what a great capture !!
ReplyDeleteI like this one ... :)
Greetings

Dimi...
I hope you're much better, i've been away also for some weeks and sick also the past week, still trying to get if fully off.
ReplyDeleteI also want to learn how to get both the near and distant objects both clear in a photo, e.g. moon and tree! Yours is very lovely done.
What an exquisite capture! Hope your ankle heals soon!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I hope your ankle gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteooops, sorry Stewart you've done that to your ankle; they take some healing too. I love those rustic cutouts; made for a lovely photograph
ReplyDeleteHello friend! Lovely sign. a good attempt. hope you'll soon better. Really you have a great account.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful piece of artwork. Great textures offered by the iron as a palette.

Hope you are feeling better by now! And I love the image of the bird!
ReplyDeleteLovely image Stewart... I hope you heal well and soon will be out and about again.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the image...I saw it upside down...not literally...but I thought it was a salamander type with it's head at the bottom...then "voila"! I saw the cormorant!!!
ReplyDeletePretty cool sign though. MB
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool sign! I hope your ankle is better by now.
