Rockin Rhianna
(a little bit from the artistic side)
Along with nature, sport and macro photography, and all the video w/ editing,... I still really enjoy dabbling in the artistic side of editing. Back in 2006-2009 I got into Photoshop quite heavy. Quickly finding out that there's also a niche viewing audience for such edits. Some people don't care for it at all.
Me personally, I still enjoy creating fun images to pass the time and there's also nothing better than turning up the music loud while melting a vision into pixels on a screen.
Happy Monday 2 U

FLY MACRO
Phaenicia sericata or Lucilia sericata (blow fly)
This type of fly is usually found circling something your dog left behind on a recent walk. Don't worry, I wasn't face first in a pile of dog doo, this guy was fortunately just hanging on a leaf trying to get warm after a chilly night.
Just wanted to add some colour to balance out the image that I posted earlier in the day.
Have a great Tuesday afternoon/evening/night

Lingering Beauty

Also snapped the other day while I was searching for "small critters" in the forest. I couldn't resist the simple beauty and colours.

FOUND along my way TODAY
#macromonday
Sitting on a leaf, warming itself in the barely visible sun, made this fly such an easy target. With a slow approach and the cam set to LIVE VIEW, (so I don't have to crouch in pain) I moved in until I saw the "Fly Beast" in focus. I usually use the slow rocking method to get the best focus point, leaving both hands free to steady cam.

a detected ninja style photog moment
Looking back at the weekend, this was one of the moments I was dialed in and ready to sneak up, Ninja Style, on anything in the critter world.
Here's a quick pic from "The One That Got Away"
I was close to getting this guy totally clean & clear. :o)

Rain Drop on a Rose
wet is good
It's Friday in my part of the World, and I'm happy to say I noticed some cool looking drops on my Roses yesterday evening, and of course had to snap a few close-up Macro shots.
This one is a dual lens setup using a 50mm backwards on a 90mm Macro lens.
Have a great weekend fellow Googs

ORGANIZED GRAFFITI
(story & links below)
A few years ago, while working a show at the famous Metropolis theater in Montreal, I noticed the back alley and entrance to the bustling St. Catherine street was completely black from ground level to the top of the third floor of the buildings.
I was sure I had seen some nice street art during past visits, but maybe it had to do with a clean-up project or something?
Well, it was the "Something" alright. In three days, those walls were transformed into some of the best wall art and tags that I've ever seen. Working three (or four) levels high on scaffolding, it was, and still is, the coolest event to watch transpire in such a short time. By Monday morning, all the scaffolding is off site, and the walls speak their stories.
Below, I've added a link to the event website and a link for the GOOGLE... more »

PETALS in the RAIN
( like sunshine in the sea )
The first thing I always want to do on a rainy day, is to take pictures of drops. My fascination with the little round orbs began when I bought or built ways of getting even closer, always comparing the last shot taken and improving off that.
I don't think I'll ever be close enough & hopefully one day I can build a molecular structure macro lens.
Yes, it's going to have to be BIG.
Artist/photographer friend +Hai Vu did a fantastic illustration of a lens that just might do it. (CHECK IT OUT HERE.)

I'M AN EAGLE

Sometimes we wish we were something other than what we really are.
It takes a lot of "Bird Skill" to imitate an EAGLE, but in the end, you're still just a gull that's not happy being a gull.
Be yourself, practice hard... make the Eagle want to be a Gull.

DROP DEBRIS
(note to self: clean surfaces)
After posting a quickie Rose yesterday, I actually felt a little "PHOTO EXCITEMENT" flowing through my veins.
Charged up my Flash batts, attached 50mm to 90mm, found and dusted off my LightChute, then grabbed a random CD from our HUGE stack of things that really need to be stored because we NEVER use them anymore... and made a few drops using my trusty little spray bottle.
All those good intentions and I still missed the dust on the CD. As soon as I was focusing, I noticed the amount of garbage swirling in my drop... then I realized that the debris is becoming the shot, not the drop.
I WENT WITH IT, and this is what I got...

GOOG MORNING (goog friends)
After waiting out the bleak winter months, and surviving the cold chills up on the 9th floor... my camera was dusted off and used to snag a few tiny rose shots yesterday afternoon.
To my delight, the Mrs brought home a few potted plants.
NO, not pot plants, potted plants with flowers and vines. (geez)
BUT, if you want to send some pot plants wrapped in little paper tubes... I won't refuse.
#macromonday is the only group theme I get into for now, and so happy after 2 years going so strong. Biggest group I participate with on G+ and curated by the hard working +Kerry Murphy +Kelli Seeger Kim +Jennifer Eden

Snowflake-a-Day #97
This is a favourite snowflake for a few reasons: the symmetry, the center, and varying silver tones created by crystal thickness. Be sure to view large or you're really not seeing it. :) and help out the snowflake book project, now 25% funded in less than a week! http://igg.me/at/skycrystals/
High res: http://donkom.ca/gplus/DKP_0349.jpg . When it comes to "composition" of my snowflakes, I typically crop square and throw the branches on angles... but this one was screaming to be placed perfectly horizontally and I think it works well. You can clearly see the angle of the light from my ring flash coming in primarily from the left side, and on just the right angle to show the changing elevation in the center of the crystal.
Based on the thick flower-like center and the blocky tips on the branches, I'd say that this... more »

AND NOW....
something completely different from me in HD
I was doing a bit of experimenting this morning with how I could run my sound through my new camcorder using the audio in/out. I mounted the cam on the end of the guitar using a mini Gorilla Pod and actually found the results intriguing because of the auto focal changes and the image stability reacted like an actual person shooting the clip.
My little Jam? Haha..., Not planned or practiced, just improvising for the test.
The name Jammy Jam comes from actually still having my Plaid flannel jammy pants on when doing this early this morning.
Also posted on my FB account, so those that are friends there www.facebook.com/stuart.m.williams/ may have already see this today, but maybe not?
Enjoy my Jammy Jam CAM TEST

FROZEN HAZE
a result from extreme cold, -42
(Factory steam rises in the cold)
The past few days have been the brutal times that we all dread during the winter months up north. There are a few things that are quite beautiful when it's extremely cold, but that obviously requires being outside to capture the goodness. Unless I can go out looking like a padded round ball of warmth, and not be noticed by kids pointing their finger and laughing,.. I'm going to stay inside.
AS FOR THE PIC
I snagged this the other evening from my balcony 9 floors up, using a 300mm and just loved the orange glow that the ice crystals were providing, similar to pollution or sand storms. Just like a sandwich of sun, it was the final moments of another cold day gone by.
PLEASE ADD YOUR CURRENT TEMPERATURE :o)

EASY WATER-DROP BACKGROUND TIP
how to 'TUNE' in color
Go grab on of those CD thingies that we never really use anymore, and either try a really strong light with a very low angle, or use a perfect WINTER AFTERNOON sun with low light coming through your WARM window.
ALMOST NO SETUP NEEDED (maybe a tall chair)
I've talked about this easy color background before, but if 1 new pair of eyes see this for the first time and then gets the desire to try, then my job is done here. :o)

#macromonday +Macro Monday +Jennifer Eden +Kerry Murphy +Kelli Seeger Kim
This morning was really hard to Pick a Pic. Such a great week we just had here in Ottawa, Canada. The weather yesterday broke all the current records, and you could be outside in shorts without even caring. Maybe only little trips to the balcony, but outside is outside! :o)
Over the weekend, I relocated my work space at home and can now have drives hooked to laptop all the time, Browsing through all of my saved folders, and checking out shots from 2003 to present was sort of fun, also a reminder of how I once thought I knew what I was doing. Oh, how times have changed. For the better or worse, each of us chooses a path to travel.

Ninja Macro Shooting
sneaking in undetected
We all want the best shot possible, and sometimes we don't want to scare our little bug friends away, so we become satisfied with telephoto macro shooting from a few meters away. *Not Me*
I would rather have 5 missed opportunities with 1 captured ultra close.
Sometimes I''ll bump an insect and loose my chance, but most times when I move ultra slow, like a tree in the wind swaying back and forth, I get close enough to catch a KEEPER, Ninja style.

EXCUSE ME...
while I splash some color on your screen
Reflections of a Spring morning melt.
After digging more through my LR exported folder, I've found all sorts of photos I played with while using LR.
This shot is the outcome of fast snowmelt in our local forest, and sometimes it's like a giant lake with little islands of trees popping up everywhere, quite a sight.
Thanks for allowing me to stop by... :o)

Floral Sunrise
w/ choir of droplets singing
Many friends use LightRoom, but I battle away with regular Photoshop and get rather board with the processes. This shot I found in my LightRoom folder, which was created during a trial of the software and after looking at all the other images in the folder, I think it's time to try LR once again.

Favorite Flap
known as The Happy Dance
Have a HAPPY Tuesday
I spent years photographing ducks for practice, well over 750,000 shots snapped as I worked on all aspects of Speed shooting. Of course, I would go to the pond, (which is extremely close to home) fully loaded with photo bait, (aka: bread) and pop off shots for hours, 12 months out of the year. Coldest was -40 degrees, which is the same in either Celsius or Fahrenheit at that temp.
My rule was this, if my bare hands are in pain from the extreme cold, then the camera needs to be inside.
We're once again in the colder months, and I hear the duck calling me out to the pond. I think it's time to re-visit my little feathery friends and hopefully they will perform some classic flapping for me, with the sun shining bright for those needed high speed shutter bursts.
Smiles for the camera..... more »

Cheap & Easy LightChute
FREE Lens Reversal & MACRO Tool
If you've ever tried getting close to a subject using the body flash on your camera, then you know that the lens creates a shadow that basically kills the whole shot.
With a larger External Flash, you will also get a lens shadow and never actually be able to fully extend your macro lens.
Fully lined with foil for reflective value and not larger than the flash head width.
Just a tube, hollow flash extender.
LightChute constructed w/ Hobbyboard, Tape & Foil.
Considering the different sizes of lenses and gear, you're going to have to do the measuring and cutting all on your own, but I hope that just getting a visual of this LightChute that I've been writing about may excite any DIY'rs wanting to save a few dollars, and enter a whole new level of... more »

Okay Ladies, herrrrrrrre's Johnny!
(a little Sunday morning fun with photoshop)
Lots of layers, some done with 'Find Edges' and then blended with bottom layers. Others done in Painting mode and also blending. I did a fine smoothing blend with mouse and lots of little circles and rubbing in the end to soften the tones, and works just like rubbing tissue on a pencil drawing. *Outrageously Artsy, eh? :o)
Anyway, enjoy your Monday & do whatever you do, with a smile.

Dragon Flake
snowflake from today
50mm reversed on 90mm macro lens, and I saw a dragon.
Truth is, I had such a hard time with jamming the end of the 50mm into the snow, but after a few thumb wipes and 90% of snow removed, I was back at attempting to catch some snowflake goodness.
For what it's worth, fellow Canadian +Don Komarechka is a absolute pro with catching the details in his snowflake photography,and well worth the ADD to your Circle or Community.

Guess what doesn't happen on Friday? The end of the world!
To be clear: the world is NOT coming to an end on Friday, Dec. 21, 2012. The Earth won't be destroyed. The Maya calendar has nothing to do with anything. The Sun won't align with a galactic black hole. Planet X doesn't exist. There is no planetary alignment. There won't be a solar storm that'll fry us. There are no giant asteroids on their way to impact us. The Earth's poles won't shift.
We good? Want more details? You got 'em:

DROP TWINS
a new life begins today
Using a drinking straw to control my water drop placements, I gently squeezed the straw and touched the feather to leave a beautiful, clear droplet on the water-repellent feather I found earlier in the day.
#MacroMonday has been an active theme on G+ for the past year, and a wonderful place to not only view fabulous images from around the World, but also a great place to learn new tricks in snapping "very close" shots of what we see through our cameras.
Be sure to tag your G+ photo with #MacroMonday in order to be seen when others search for submitted photos.
This shot was snagged sing a 50mm reversed on a 90mm Macro lens. Regular Flash head used with LightChute directing light to front of lens.

The sands of time...
never have enough grains
I feel like I really needed to share my past few days. My Facebook friends at https://www.facebook.com/Stuart.m.Williams are already aware, so I'm sorry for the double dose of my grief.
My wife's father died on Saturday in a very unexpected situation. It was, and still is a very large shock for the immediate family, and we're dealing with the services along with every other aspect of this tragic event.
He was a hero, and changed the political landscape for the better. A meager man that was officially recognized by Pope John Paul II & polish President Lech Walesa for his devotion to the Polish Solidarity movement during the 1970's and 1980's.

Have you BEEn busy?...
During the Summer and Fall, I've had some great opportunities, and of course a few cancelled events, and out of my control.
I snagged this tongue extended bee shot during the beginning of our Canadian Fall. This happened to be the only type flower in the area, and the bees would just come and go in a very desperate attempt to not miss the few bits of pollen that was available.
It's during this time of the year, or their cycle, that they are so preoccupied with gathering pollen, that they will even allow you to bump them without taking flight. Obviously allowing for ridiculously close shots, without really disturbing nature.
That's right, 2 posts in a single day. :o)

A FRIEND TOLD ME...
Friday has a new theme, and it's " Macro Feather Friday".
Being a macro drop fanatic at times, and loving to view others with the same passion, I have watched and learned from fellow macro shooter +Robin Griggs Wood, who has developed the theme.
#MacroFeatherFriday w/ +E.E. Giorgi
Thank you Robin, for participating so widely in various social platforms (another way of saying Facebook) and reminding me to not forget macro shots and how rewarding it is to achieve the planned shot.
Have an BEAUTIFUL weekend, to ALL THE WORLD
