Day 113

I did try but failed miserably in the short time I had today.
I was hoping to do something artistic with this old chair but came up blank!
No time to do anything else so that is it for the day and to stay in touch with the challenge.

In Need LOL.jpg

Tried to get this to look like it was coming out of the background - failed there too.

Watch your eye LOL.jpg

Oh well - tomorrow's another day.

Day 114

It rained all day so I was confined to house!

Backrest drops LOL.jpg

And thought I would give the "Egg balanced on fork" photo a go to see what all the fuss is about. Struggled to get it balanced until I realised the fork prongs were at a different angel to each other - with one being higher than the other - you should try it sometime.
I can see that egg photography could be addictive and will be experimenting in the future months as winter keeps me indoors.

Of course this decided the breakfast dilemma ...

And a bit of fun in Elements 11

Day 115

Got some different ones today.

First - do you know your way around your house? We have a sign for the bathroom … go figure

Bathroom LOL.jpg

And then inside the bathroom are further notices ...

Shavers only LOL.jpg

Out on the deck is this lovely pot - but alas flowerless

Top of pot LOL.jpg

And tonight's meal was a crockpot chicken. Not bad in the end.

Slow Roast Chicken LOL.jpg

And probably my favourite for the day is the handle to the screen door

Can you handle it LOL.jpg

Showing some serious control over you DoF there Lawrence - were these hand held?

I also notice a lot of cooking / food shots! Always makes me hungry..... :kiwi-fruit:

All hand held Steve

Recent spate of cooking shots is because I have being doing my photography homework at about the time I start to get dinner on. This will probably continue through winter!
Broccoli soup tomorrow (with blue cheese infusion)

Day 116

A Pukeko - disliked by many because there are so many of them (and I think they tend to attack other birds) but I like the colours. They have white feathers under the tail feathers but I didn't manage a decent shot with those exposed.
This was hand held sitting in my car.

Pukeko LOL.jpg

Still handheld I decided to put my newly acquired 1.4X Kenko TC on my 70-300 to see what it came out like.

Pukeko head LOL.jpg

On the way home I spotted these plastic bags caught up in the fence.
The first is as shot the second I tried for a bit more mystique.

POW LOL.jpg

Trapped and tattered LOL.jpg

It is what it is ...

Eye of the horse LOL.jpg

Muzzle LOL.jpg



I am glad I didn't have to eat out of this kitchen. There were flies everywhere ...

The New Zealand Mounted Games Association Finalists with the winner on the left being congratulated Maori style - rubbing noses where we usually shake hands.

Day 118

I think today is the closest I have come to bailing out! Just so hard for some reason.
Does the first photo count?
It's a shot of what was on the TV screen - Master-Chef New Zealand Judge.

Master Chef Judge LOL.jpg

This young lass watches me make tea, do the dishes, cook and whatever else I do in the kitchen. Never says anything though.
