OMG the very talented RACHEL LEIGH has nominated JUST BOOTS for the Pay it Forward Group She said ” “I love this photo because I know how difficult it is to get good pet shots and the lighting is just superb in this photo. Boots is as cute as can be and she captured him beautifully!” To me this is the highest compliment, thanking you so very much Rachel :O)) Waiting patiently for his morning walk…... Boots our dearest Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, has the unfortunate name, as being black and tan he has golden lower legs. He was born during the rugby world cup when England actually won something and as his breeder was a rugby fan she called him Golden Boots, after Johny Wilkinson! Started photography May 2008 Sold laminated print RB 23/03/09 BILLYBOY gave the most wonderful compliment when choosing Just Boots. I’m actually kind of glad this is in the Paws & Claws group because now that I’ve been given the opportunity to choose a picture from the group to single out, it’s fitting that my favorite pet picture of all time is right here so I can tell the world just how deeply I love it… / There are so many ways this works for me. The depth of field and selective blur draws attention to the perfect focusing on and around that amazing face, and I like the way the crop being slightly off center works so perfectly with the drape of the ears and the shape of the body. / The lighting is perfect and so natural… no blown out highlights or loss of shadow detail… the quality and direction of the lighting bring out that amazing detail in the facial fur and allows for that subtle reflection on the contrasting smooth surface into which he seems to be slowly melting. Also, the color space of the background matches the subject so perfectly that it’s a pleasing image to the eye even without taking the artistic level of the content into consideration. But I think what REALLY gets to me about this amazing shot is the affect the shooting angle has on drawing me into this pooch’s character. We’re down at his level, as if on equal terms with his world, and I feel as if I’m staring straight into his soul through those deep and all-knowing eyes… the connection between me and Boots is personal through this stunning image. This is a massive work of art and I am honored to be able to exaplin why it’s so special to me. Thanking you so very much Billy, it is such a wonderful compliment. xx Taken with my Sony F717, 800 ISO equiv. Lighting courtesy of my daughter holding a torch as there wasn’t enough natural light! Changed partially to sepia, then bluring and darker tones added for mood…..... Would make a super card ideal for any occasion, Birthday, Thank You, etc…. © Copyright 2008 Squealia, All Rights Reserved /
This is Shadow a New Forest mare, who belongs to 11 year old twin girls at our yard. I think she is one of the prettiest horses I have ever seen…
The Roman Theatre of Cartagena was built at the end of the 1st Century BC when Cartagena was a Roman colony, in the era of Emperor Augustus. The theatre was not discovered until 1987 and many of the finds are in the Archaeological Museum. / The terraced seats were built into the northern side of La Concepcion hill which had been excavated to create seating for 6000. Santa Maria La Vieja Cathedral, which you can see mainly at the top left to centre of the photo was built in the 13th Century from materials taken from the Roman theatre. By the sixteenth century, the theatre had been lost to fire and its remains built over and remained well hidden by the town of Cartagena as it grew over the ruins, and was not discovered again until 1987. The town was asked to vote as to whether or not, the buildings standing there in 1987 should remain, or be torn down to find the ruins. The town voted in favour of the excavation and reconstruction of the Roman Theatre. My photo shows how it stands today. Once again in the glory of Rome, many of it’s fine treasures still remaining. © Copyright 2008 Squealia, All Rights Reserved /

A DOG IS FOR LIFE NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS…......... Background is stock from Deviant Art
A little out of bounds framing created for a movement challenge…... Only to realise after uploading it, that the group is Nikon DSLR users group and this is an old Cannon shot scanned in from 35mm!! So it won’t be in a challenge but as it is here it might as well stay here!!!! Frame stock art from deviant art see here , background created on PSP, photo me.
Ok this may gross you out, you’ll probably hate it…. but it is different! June 2009. Sold the usage of this image for the cover of a fictional novel, The Laptop-Cyber Murders by Daniel Parks. The book has been previous published but is being re-edited and partially re-written for publishing later this year. As when it is published I’ll add an image here!
A little tee for us women who really can’t be bother to spend hours infront of the mirror everyday!!! Or even like me if you do occasionally try to look gorgeous there is only so much you can do with the raw material hence this can make an excuse for you!
Reloaded as it wasn’t showing on activity lists! Having tried to get her to pose for me and failing on the whole, I gave up and she started playing with her NDS… well i grabbed two scarves she has, which were freebies from the local Wok Buffet Restaurant and managed to get them to stay on her head and snapped about 10 shots whilst she was playing, every odd shot I had to say DS down as it was getting higher and higher and was in the picture! Well this is the result and I actually quite like it! Natural light through the window. Aged 8 years. Nikon D40 18-55mm
This is a re-work of my Scruffy picture I took of her 3 days after I found her abandoned on the “campo” scared and alone. Nikon D40 18-55mm I think she must have been thrown out at night as she is terrified of going into our back garden at night (our spotlight is broken!) and just cowers on the grass in fear and refuses to go to the toilet! Anyway whilst RB was down the other day I did a bit of playing on PSP and this was one of the images I played with!!! TEXTURE /
Haha! My first real attempt at a self portrait! Nikon D40 A priority. Self timer and tripod!
This is a rework of Just Boots, Texture added and turned to black and white for a challenge! Anyway donot feel obliged to comment. Got back from skiing today, and I’ve got 20 loads of washing to do! Will be back and commenting properly soon. Sony F717 / Started Photography May 2008
Having tried the flower in a waterdrop photo, after getting Madam (aged nearly 9!) home from school, I took this picture in the evening sun, thought I better not waste the pretty little bloom! TEXTURE
I am not really sure about this. Saturation decreased, TEXTURE & TEXTURE added. !
.............. is to day dream. Imagine what you want. Escape to all the beautiful places deep within your mind. Oh and this is that orchid I paid 5 Euros for at Lidls… still alive and still flowering!!! Haven’t a clue how long the flowers last, but I have had it 2 months now! TEXTURE
Today was the Torremendo, (Spain) Annual Fiesta, celebrating their Saints day, where 2 Oxen pull a cart carrrying a statue of Jesus around the town and horse riders and pedestrians proceed and follow. Last year I rode, but decided I would snap some photos this time. This elderly man had a wonderful character visage, so I plucked up the courage to snap a shot! He was just a follower. The day was blazing hot, so he must have been melting in his coat and hat. This is the first time I have managed to capture an older person to apply this effect to and I am quite pleased with the result! I have removed the background as it was full of people and was messy. / 2 hours worth of editing in PSP, including manually adding the Dragan effect! / Nikon D40 18-55mm / Started photography May 2008
This is Poli an Andalucian mare. Taken at Torremendo Fiesta, Spain. May 2009. Nikon D40 18-55mm
I love sun rays and yesterday the clouds arrived so I decided to burn my retina and shoot towards the sun. Nikon D40 18-55mm with circular polarising filter. Artistic filter add in PSP as there was slight pixalation which I wanted to get rid of!
Nikon D40 18-55mm with a screw on macro filter/s, but as I took this back in March, I can’t remember which ones now! As is except raw conversion with added contrast.
Hannah is rapidly leaving childhood behind, and turning into one of those strange beings we know as a teenager! Although she is nowhere near her teenage years, her attitude and general outlook on life is that of a budding teen! Nikon d40 18-55mm and editing in CS3, as this was snapped at my mothers without much thought to background or clothing! Natural light through patio doors. Aged 9
Hannah has 2 new pets! This is Kiki the gerbil. Took me at least 1/2 hr to get them both out of their cage today! They are living in our old hamster’s cage, the problem is it has tubes etc and only one place to get them out! They just scurry around at a 100mph and are impossible to catch! Canon EOS 500D
OK so I am sad! Another edited creation of Kiki! Kiki wishes to give you these little gifts! Merry Christmas to all. Xmas Pressies / Hat
