PhLB - Luc Boonen's favorite photos

Taken during our safari at Kruger National Park, South Africa. Near the end of the first day, the driver took us around to see some animals in the dark. He used a spotlight to illuminate them, which probably caused some irritation... There was a pride of lions in the grass nearby, and his spotlight caught this lion quite close to us. (The lions are over-lit, but there are now some possibly dangerous shadows. Who else is in the grass, waiting for a Sunday Challenge?) I used the Panasonic GX85 with a long telephoto lens, and processed with GIMP. More night photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

Since I had eye surgery and I have intraocular lenses, I no longer need glasses, but I have dry eyes and need to use drops regularly. Then, for one or two minutes, that's how I see the world! Another one on PIP, just with a small focused area. About the technic used it is easy: I just put my lens in macro position and I shoot as if it was not a macro, that is in a too far range from the subject, the result is a blur !

Sunday Challenge...SC 78....A New Beginning..Jan.14th 2024.

... wer weiß wohin sie rollt in diesem Jahr 2024 ... Das wahre Glück, das Eigentum der Weisen, steht fest, indeß Fortunens Kugel rollt. Christoph Martin Wieland (1733 - 1813) _____ SC 78 - 14. Ja. 2024 - Thema: A New Beginning _____ Beide Fotos sind auf meinem kleinen Tisch mit Schachbrett-Muster-Einlegearbeiten aufgenommen. Einmal ein Foto mit Licht und einmal eine dunkle Gegenlichtaufnahme. Bei der Gegenlichtaufnahme glänzt der Tisch und die Kugel spiegelt sich sehr. Der Standort der Kamera ist sehr niedrig. Während bei dem bunten Foto die Kamera auf den Tisch gerichtet ist und man deshalb das Schachbrettmuster wesentlich besser erkennen kann.
