In preparation of the pending lunar eclipse …  No not really, I just found that the moon looked nice tonight, so I gave it a shot (or 2 or 3).

I got in a fender bender yesterday, and the character that I did with, thinks that because I am a woman he would advantage me.  Sorry but I have sense, you cannot give me an exorbitant quote and expect me to pay it.

Now off to Alabama, USA to the space center and a look at some good old machinery.  Yes Old as in ancient.  They have on display many old space apparatus that they’ve used to travel yesteryear into the atmosphere, landing on the moon and orbiting earth.  This is one of the models used for such a venture.  Well at least its the muscle.

This is one of my famous ‘drive by shootings’.  Going around the biggest round about in the world, the Queen’s park Savannah and approaching Belmont, I had this nice view of our National Arts Center (NAPA).

A week full of bringing you re-processing master pieces.   I am quite enjoying this series.  I hope you are too.  Here is the bottom of Frederick Street, Port Of Spain, shot through the windscreen at the pedestrians and folks walking along Independence.

This picture really illustrates how I felt about Trinidad growing up.  Vibrant!

Day 244 – 365 Days of Photography

9-1-2014

The Independence holiday since falling on a Sunday was granted today Monday.  In reflection of country, I reflected on my little suburb in Point Fortin where I grew up.  This is a representation of Clifton Hill.  The oil pumps at the center of it all.  I tried a painters effect on this photo during processing.

Plus I figured you were tired of seeing my lunch, so I’ll eat my curry crab and dumpling and leave you in peace.

Happy Independence Trinidad and Tobago!  Our Flag flies high!  Not the best image of the flag since the white seems to have been overpowered by the bleeding of the black, or on contra it just might be the best image after all as there is some tension politically currently and this just may represent how the people of the nation feel.

National colors are red, black and white.

8-30-2014

I am really having fun reviewing some older images and processing them.  Here is one taken in Port of Spain along the waterfront.  My husband was looking for several of his diplomas and we were instructed to go to a building here where they now house the science and tertiary education certificates.  I waited patiently and took a few shots along the waterfront.

Day 241 – 365 Days of Photography

8-29-2014

I love skies, but I also love oceans, rivers, lakes or any body of water.  Water has the same level of connectivity; it is the one mass that touches every country.  We are all connected by the same body of sea even though in my region it’s name may differ, if I had a sail boat I could set out and get to where you are.  It’s infinite and sure.  That is why I firmly believe that pollution of rivers and seas should be controlled by a world police.  It should not be allowed in any country as the pollution thereof not only affects the country in question but the whole world rather.

Day 240 – 365 Days of Photography

8-28-2014

I have edited more of my pictures from last year and I bring to you more of my new editing series.   Primarily because I have not been out shooting as I’ve started a new gig and it is consuming most of my time.   I can foresee that the next week I may not get a chance to post at all until possibly the weekend.  So I forewarn you now.   Today it was fitting to enter this new chapter of my life as I celebrate the memory of my dad.  It was also fitting that this was  the image that I edited.  No bright sky here.   It’s been 3 years since he left us and the memory is still fresh and raw.

Day 239 – 365 Days of Photography

8-27-2014

Reviewing Old Images are fun.  I am looking at images from my trip to England and back then I was relatively new to my DSLR and furthermore, on this trip I started shooting RAW.  In addition I didn’t know much other than the fact that I liked taking pictures.  Well I am still learning and now I am trying to get accustomed to editing.  I am really a newbie here.   Well this particular image was boring to me. So I took the sky from one of my Caribbean beach shots and imposed on this Euro scene.  I think it adds way more drama to it.   Also did some uplifting of this image.  What thinks you?

8-26-2014

So we had to go out today to drop my mother off to take care of some business.  My daughter elected to rock the cap she bought yesterday.  Well Iphone in hand I captured this image and put my own twist to it.

Day 237 – 365 Days of Photography

8-25-2014

Today was a busy day, lots of schlepping around for the kids.  I spent hours upon returning trying out some new things via processing.  I am no professional at this, but I do have an idea of what I want to see.  Here is an old image that I took last year in England that I worked on some processing on.  I did no cropping as I kind of like the edge of the brick buildings and the effect of the stone.  I’ll show two edits that I ended up happy with.

8-24-2014

Back to the garden.  Here we are and the ‘melongene’ or eggplant is ready for the picking, but at the same time the trees are still blooming and the flowers are out.  These are tiny flowers that I brought in a little, via the close up feature (not macro lenses).

8-23-2014

I had the pleasure of watering plants in my brother’s garden while he and his family took a little vacation.  They’re back now.  Peeping at his assortments of plants was thrilling.  I am looking forward to the next harvesting of the passion fruit.  You can tell they’re sweet, and so can the bees.

8-22-2014

Processing Fun.  Take an image and use your imagination without composites.  This is where I am at.  Grungy old scenic skies.

I spent all day in the sun today and now I am burnt to a crispy brown and truly knackered.

8-21-2014

A portrait view of a beach landscape, why, because I am fascinated with the sky.  I was just sitting in my beach chair looking up at the coconut trees swaying in the breeze and wanted to capture it but also a bit of ocean.  However, I do not own one of those coveted wide angle lenses.  So make do with what you have right?  Here it is, my make shift view. LOL!

This is a popular lookout point on the Northern coast of the island of Trinidad overlooking the Maracas Bay and several of the other bays heading up the winding road.  This is Trinidad.  Of course the sky is featured.
