Share & Celebrate Your Art

Here's one more just for kicks. I think that's ladybug eggs on the leaf, but don't quote me on it.

Wow! Great song, JFF! Love the super tight vocal harmonies, and the dynamics are spot on!

Talent abounds on Lit!

Skipp, that's a crazy shot! I'd actually love to see a closeup of the eggs on the leaf... Can you crop in? I've never seen anything quite like that before! Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to the thread, Black Bunny! I really do hope you'll share some shots. I've done a bit of music photojournalism now and again. I'll see if I can dig up a shot or two.

Here's one I took last summer, right before The Cold War Kids took the stage:

Since JFF broke out the tunage, I guess I'll jump onto that bandwagon:

This Child is also Abel is a multi-track instrumental piece. Each of the guitar parts were recorded without listening to the others, and each were improvised while listening to a beautiful raga by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan.

Please keep sharing, and feel free to invite others to join the party!

Peace,

Indeed ..... and hiya Daizie

Fflow , so glad to see you start this thread , there are some really impressive pieces submitted in here , great job , everyone !

While this pic isnt actually artistic , it is odd , or maybe it's just me ...
This is a new sign that the county decided to put in front of my house last week ....
How did they Know ???
I guess word travels quickly in a small town ...
evil bastards , what next , a flashing arrow ....?

Chainzz! Thanks so much for showing up and sharing here!

Your new sign is certainly apropos. This is what happens when you live in the same place for too long. Everyone knows your business. I'm sure that some lady working in some county office somewhere has been waiting for the opportunity to get revenge for the bad lay you once gave her, or her mom.

I actually like the quality of the image. It has a slightly surreal look to it!

Daizie, I'm so glad you made it over to the thread! I will do my best to wait, patiently, for your contributions to start appearing.

Lastly, here are my humble contributions for the day:

LOL Great eye, Chainzz!!

Here's a shot I've always liked...

Very good composition, Fflow! I love the detail in the clouds and the beautiful blue!

That's fantastic! It makes me want to lay out and make shapes out of the clouds

Thanks for that, fflow

lol! That picture makes me feel the same way. In fact, the picture was taken as I lay on my back. It is part of a foot bridge that crosses over some busy streets. I felt a bit silly but, fortunately, the only one there to laugh at me was my wife.

Thanks for that, fflow

You're very welcome! BTW, your current AV is rather fetching, if you don't mind my saying so.

You gotta do what you gotta do to get the picture!

I definitely don't mind you saying so, thanks

Here you go Fflow. Its still a little blurry. I'm new to photography, only a done it few months, so I'm not used to zooming in and cropping.

Its been a while. I've been under the weather and didn't want to post on this thread unless I had some pics ready.

I'm curious to see what others contribute.

No worries about the focus, Skipp! Glad to have your participation!

Love the spider web. We used to have a great big garden spider in our front planter but, this year, she seems to be gone... :<

Glad to be back Thanks.
That's a bummer, but I bet she was beautiful.

Beautiful in her own way:

Thanks Otter, you have anything to show?

Here's one of my first shots experimenting with the infamous "rule of thirds."

Beautiful! The composition is lovely, as is the color and subject. Really nice!

BTW, as for the fireworks pix, thanks for the kind words but I can't really take all that much credit for them. I used my stupid little Nikon P&S, and it just happens to have a 'fireworks' setting. True, I did a bit of cropping, and just a bit of contrast tweaking, but really it was all just point and snap.

Thanks for the comment Fflow.
I like the tweaking you did. Makes it a bit hypnotic.


Here's one of the first shots I took. Took it while laying on a table in the gazebo at a nearby park.

Hypnotic is a great word to describe this shot! I love it!
