Sometimes the background takes on a life of its own.

A Parade of Bees

To view more of my photography please click on www.rakmilphotography.com

Look closely, there is a smaller bee behind the large one. It’s the sort of thing you don’t see in the viewfinder when shooting.

Who Knows What’s Next

To view more of my photography please click on www.rakmilphotography.com

The media is full of predictions and forecasts, often going out several years. The future is not an open door. Any prediction and most forecasts will survive six months to a year if lucky.

No Trespassing

While nature at one level or another is symmetric (eg. the leaves on flowers or trees) put together it can be entirely abstract.

An old brick building faces an equally old but more impressive structure.

Hate Free Zone

For Whom the Bell Tolls

To view more of my photography please click on www.rakmilphotography.com

No man is an island,

Entire of itself.

Each is a piece of the continent,

Apart of the main.

If clod be washed away by the sea,

Europe in the less.

As well as if a promontory were.

As well as if a manor of thine own

Or of thine friend’s were.

Each man’s death diminishes me,

Therefor send not to know

For whom the bell tolls,

It tolls for thee.

John Donne (1572-1631)

I am going to look for more leafy shadows when the weather improves. I think there is promise in these shots.

Luminar Neo

To view more of my photography please click on www.rakmilphotography.com

In the new version of Luminar Neo, there are a number of  “AI” tools one of which allows for the fading or increased lighting in the foreground or background. Here the background was already on the dark side, but any adjustments to the photo brightened the background. Neo had the best answer to this common problem.

Second Set of Eyes

To view more of my photography please click on www.rakmilphotography.com

These sparrows were very noisy, jumping around looking back and forth. I suspect they were worried about some predator.
