Odd Ball
Week 48
~~~~~
Last week as I headed for bed, I noticed
that the moon was not far off setting…and full.
All photos taken on the same setting except for the aperture.
This one is at f/6.3
This one at f/22.
But I do confess to lightening a bit.
I decided to add this version, number 1 cropped,
as the crater, on the horizon, at 10 o’clock fascinates me.
Who would ever have thought the we could take such
detailed photographs of the moon
with consumer equipment.
Technical Stuff.
Camera: Nikon D90
Lens: Sigma 50-500mm
Focal length: 500mm
Shutter Speed: 1/500
Aperture: f/6.3 & f/22
ISO: 400
And the camera was hand held…probably with the aid
of a door or verandah post.

Cee’s
Black and White Challenge:
Anything that Flies from birds to airplanes.
~~~~~
I took Cee at her word this week…birds to airplanes.
Johannesburg airport.
This Crested Barbet…I think…fairly certain…
was captured in South Africa.
And finally, I believe this plane was leaving
O.R.Tambo airport, Johannesburg.

My
Inspiration
Travel Theme.

A few weeks back while reading a photography magazine
I saw a picture of a movie theatre with a single patron
waiting for the show to commence.
That shot inspired me to try to produce my own version.
While not as good as the other photographer
I was pleased with my first result.

We are normal, everyday hard-working people with a common hobby, blogging. We hail from far and wide. We reside in different lands, on different continents. We speak different languages, eat different foods, and are of varying ages, professions, and religious and cultural backgrounds.
We do have one thing in common…
We believe that terrorist attacks, wherever they may be perpetrated; whether in France, Tunisia, Canada, Iraq, or in Denmark, Turkey, UK, Algeria, Yemen, USA, Lebanon, or in the skies over Egypt, or in India, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Kuwait, Libya, Bangladesh, Syria, or Mali are nothing less…

Weekly Photo Challenge-Transition

My contribution for this week’s challenge…
Transition
~~~~~
Before Ginger died, she was Maggie’s boss
and Soxie was backyard boss.
Since Ginger’s death there has been…
and increasing battle for dominance of
this bed…Maggie’s bed.
Yesterday, with Sox ensconced on the bed…
I suggested that Maggie should claim
her rightful position…
which she surprisingly did.
More surprisingly she sat down on Sox.
It did not take Sox long to realise that…
That Maggie was heavy and try as he might…
it took a minute or two before Maggie moved…
enough to wriggle his backside free and escape.
Was I watching a transition of backyard manager here?
Probably not…Soxie came back to bed and nose to tailed Maggie.
Maggie was taking deep breaths where
I would not dare to take shallow breaths! 🙂

My contribution for this week’s
Kids or Pets with Toys
challenge.

These are re-posts, but I think…
they are two of the cutest kids photos I have taken.
Although I am not sure that the ice-cream
container qualifies as a toy.

This week our Hydrangea has decided to bloom.
It is only a young plant and has a
couple of immature blooms like this…
and a one large flower, or cluster of flowers.

Melbourne in November…well nearly the end of November.
Christmas decorations in November!?
I think I have worked out why the years are passing by so quickly.
We have nearly two months of Christmas Decorations.
About mid January Easter eggs will be on sale.
So nearly two months of Christmas and
just over two months of Easter egg sales….
leaves only 8 months of the year for normality.
No wonder the years pass so quickly.
