Looking Back by CarolM

I love to look back at the way life was when things were simplier. When fun meant family picnics with home fried chicken, potato salad and gunnysack races. When children played with Tonka trucks and teddy bears. When milk was delivered by the milkman. When cartoons were Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. When Grandma made real homemade biscuits and bread that you could smell when you walked in the door. When Grandpa worked in the fields, kept the old car running and sat on the front porch drinking iced tea. When the family all gathered for Sunday dinner and talked and laughed together. The American apple pie has changed. Now we buy them frozen. I long for a homemade apple pie. Writing by CaroM / Photographed with Canon D40 and edited in PS.
Calling Lois by SandraRos

2ND PLACE IN A CHALLENGE IN THE GROUP:Art by Bubble Hosts / FEATURED IN THE GROUP: The Collector’s Corner / Lois you are the founder of our Dancing with the Red Shoes Club so this is for you my friend. The club had it’s origins on Webshots and since the original girls all walked over to Redbubble we have gained some wonderful and awesome friends for this great club. All the girls reading this you are welcome to join this happy and jolly club, the RED shoes are used when we get a feature, top 10 or win a challenge. We are continuously passing them around amongst us; they are magic shoes because they fly all over the world in a matter of seconds. We have been doing so much dancing lately I had to go and buy us a new pair. / For the men folk please give me a while I am looking for those Red SOCKS and when I have found them I will post them. Maybe Von will have a pair that he can photograph for us with his NIKON (I think that is what it is called, apparently it is some sort of camera) A BIG THANK YOU TO VON FOR DOING US THE RED SOCKS / link / /

Harry Pottery by David McMahon

A display of glazed pottery stretches – or so it seems – to infinity. This was shot at F5.6 and 1/30th of a second. Taken indoors at the Cheetal Grand, a major landmark on the highway from New Delhi to Dehra Dun, in late December 2007. The light here was very low, but I figured it was also soft enough to capture not just the bright colours, but also the more subtle tones in the middle distance and background. I shot five frames here, four of them close-ups to emphasise the beautiful shapes. But for some reason this long shot is my favourite, simply because of the depth of field and the use of diagonal perspective that seems endless. I adjusted my focus ring to concentrate on the third piece of pottery, so that the viewer’s eye would be led along the row as it vanished beyond the frame. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F5.6, 1/30 sec, ISO 800, focal length 78mm.

SSSHHHHHH!!!!! AAwwwww Man, They Found Us !!! by trueblvr

Hey, You Wanna Come To A Party? cards.
"The Sound of Music" by Bradley Shawn Rabon

This lovely 1930’s wind-up Selecta Gramophone sits in the front room of our friends home in Painswick, Gloucestershire. This wonderful antique sits comfortably next to the bookcase and give the room so much character. After so many years, this beautiful piece of furniture still plays confidently today. The front doors of the gramophone open up to reveal the bellows allowing air to enter and exist. I can imagine this piece sitting on the table on a summers evening with the windows open and the lovely melodious music of Glenn Miller playing out. Ahhh! Those were the days, weren’t they! This is a HDR image combining 3 bracketed shots using Photomatix Pro for Macs. Slight adjustments in lighting and tone were done using the enhanced details tool. Canon EOS-1Ds Mark ll / 28-300mm IS zoom lens / f/4 / 0.3 sec., 1/6, 1/10 / ISO 400
