Macro nuts...

Well Copago, they are all mine...the names and the nuts .

MIght have lost a bit in translation there When I first looked at it I was on the computer which won't show me the photos so it looked to me like you were calling everyone else 'nuts'

something different - the contents of my fridge clearly showing the box of candles in the vege crisper.

What? No beer? On State of Origin night?

LOL - there is also a coolroom ...

You know me better than that, I'm sure .

Any chance for a link to a larger fridge photo? I'd like to read the products labels and expiry dates

It's macro madness!

This image has been processed. The camera work has to be OK as regards focus and light of course but what you see is only part of the view that the lens saw. With a seven megapixel camera set to 'fine' mode, there will be enough detail in the image to take it into a photo editing program, crop away any unwanted background and still end up with the subject looking sharp.

Also, images can be enhanced in other ways. This image has been 'auto-equalized'. This is a contrast/brightness/colour type of process that makes the image more striking at mouse-click. It has also been sharpened up in the program. An out of focus shot cannot be enhanced this way but if a good basic 'in focus' and well-lit shot has been taken, then the image can usually be improved. So, perhaps this isn't true photography ...but at least you know. Image enhancement could be considered part of the overall subject of digital photography.



Edit: This is how the photo came off the camera.

Amazing stuff TW!
Jill, I thought you were supposed to keep candles in the freezer? I always do.
Today's offering was a bit difficult to get as it was throwing it down again (what's new at this time of year?). Anyway
I took some (very bad) pics of Ladder Street or Cat St as it once was called(work it out!). This is really the only even reasonable one. It is a stall devoted solely to ribbons of all colours and sizes. Lovely in the sunlight, not so good in the rain. I will try to take some of Ladder St again. It is an interesting old area of Central HK.

Great work, TW. I've played about with the "correction" features in editing programs occasionally, but I don't really know what I'm doing. Some time soon I shall sit down for an afternoon and force myself to read the manual while I experiment.

Hastings isn't the popular seaside resort that it used to be, but the old Royal Victoria Hotel in St Leonards still manages to retain some prestige. Originally the St Leonards Hotel, it was renamed after Queen Victoria stayed there.

Did you take your Toy Boy there dear?

Ah, yes, the Mayoress’s Toy Ball, where they auctioned toys for the Mayoress’s favourite charity. I’ve an idea it may have been at the Queen’s (now a block of flats) on a sea-front corner close to the centre, but Sue could well be right. Certainly, if it still takes place, it will probably be at the Royal Victoria.

You are of course correct, I knew it had something to do with a queen! This was when I was twenty-one so quite a while ago! I wore a black and white dress, I still have it upstairs.

I was staying in a house in Pilot Road, up on The Ridge.

My computer has been acting up and I haven't visited this thread since Sunday. My, my, you have really outdone yourselves this week!

I always take pictures of every cat I see when on my photo travels.

I keep my camera handy while sitting out on the deck which works out great for catching the visitors to the bird bath.

Yet more acclimating to how my camera works... so, due to that I don't get far, I practiced on my house very early in the morning. I was glad to catch that rare orange glow that comes from the sun sometimes at daybreak (despite that it makes my house appear painted orange, which I assure you it isn't )...

I've been in London again today, so here's a view of Canary Wharf from the South Bank.
The colourful bridge is Blackfriars, and you can see the unusual building nicknamed 'The Gherkin'. It was sold - the Gherkin that is, not the bridge - by Swiss Re Insurance earlier this year for £600 million ($1.2 billion), to a combined German/British property investment company.

Seeing that photo reminded me of the Funtrivia meeting in London when Jillian (Copago) and I went up in the London Eye - we commented on The Gerkin. So this is an old photo taken from the London Eye that day.

Argus, that's a very lovely bird. What is it? [sorry for being so bird illiterate]

Gatsby, are you sure you dwell on this Earth? That house looks unreal - great photo!

Leaving my working place this evening I almost thought 'they' beamed me up in Venice

Argus, I'm jealous - I've been trying to get such a good shot of a blue jay all spring!

Gats, your house is lovely, especially in that early morning light.

I'm pretty sure that this is a weed, but I thought it pretty enough to warrant a macro shot.
