Sorry I haven't been around for a few days.  I've been getting ready for ballroom competition this weekend (I'm shooting, but I'm also in one single-dance event, doing the West Coast Swing) and I've been concentrating like crazy on my NaNoWriMo -- more than halfway there, I'm at over 30,000 words!  (By the way, thanks to Dave/dedmanshootn for being so supportive!  You've helped me keep going!)

This was actually taken last year, but I'm still playing a little with picnik, using several older photos, and since our autumn really was pathetic, I decided to put in a couple of decent fall color shots.  I have another one I'll show you tomorrow.  :-)  Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Oh, and I must not forget my link today:  Loved this wedding shot.

Series: The Streets of Shanghai

As Maggie and I meandered our way through the teeming hive of activities, laying deep within these back streets and alleys, I noticed this interesting man, preparing a load of bananas on the back of his bicycle. On raising my camera, he immediately raised his hand, and I didn't know if it was a greeting or an instruction not to take the photograph. we didn't stop to find out and carried on our journey through this fascinating and magical passageway. In looking at this image many times, I've come to the conclusion, he was acknowledging our presence, somewhat cautiously, but greeting us, in a formal and commanding way. I recognize the purpose in his face and I have to say, this man has my attention and he has my respect!

I spent much of the weekend at a Model Railway Exhibition. Saturday I took the twins, and watched them fall under the spell that has captured millions of kids before them. Sunday I took the camera and had a great time all on my own! 

Many of us will have had a model railway when we were younger, but few people get to create the detailed alternative worlds that were on show this weekend. It was a very challenging shoot, ambient light, lots of people milling around, and tiny subject matter. This particular shot was taken through the entrance to a miniature Station. I took more than a dozen photos from this position, and they all look totally different because they depend on where the very shallow depth of field is focused.

There is a gallery of shots from the exhibition here, please visit it if you have the time, but be prepared to get lost in there;  http://www.lightanddreamsphotography.com/Photography/MODEL-RAILWAY-EXHIBITION/10251184_B9N36#707077837_nomY3

My darling Caroline was getting a bit depressed... too much moody B&W pictures lately, so this splash of yellow is for her. The sun was shining brightly on the bouquet... so I thought why not! I have a lovely 'dark' version of this rose too ;-)
