Not too keen on frames, although I used one myself this week (!) and the second doesn't do much for me but 1 and 3 are just excellent. I personally like the attack in the processing. Really well done.

Mobile again, it was time for another venture into the night - which unfortunately was typical, in that it was a last minute arrangement, not timely for a meet-up shout out. Fortunately Christof and daughter Sarah were flexible while here from Germany for two weeks.

Taste of Colorado is an annual street/park fair over Labor Day weekend with booths selling food, crafts, and other stuff. A good opportunity for people shots.
This kid didn't seem too pleased when he noticed I was taking this photo.
In this picture he's just starting to flip me off
After he was fully flipping me off, I laughed, approached him, handed him a slip of paper with a printed URL where he could find and download photos in a day or two, and I offered to take some shots of him and his friends. His mood brightened and they posed for me, but he still kept the "bird" out, which I found humorous:
Later I saw a couple buy a lucha libre mask for their young son, and I asked if I could take their photo, also handing them the slip of paper with URL to download the photos in a day or two. They readily posed for me:
I like photographing people, and it's fun to be able to share the images with some of them. It might also be a way to placate someone who gets irritated about being photographed. But I still mainly go stealth mode:

All of these are well done, but I agree with wormsmeat that 1 and 3 really stand out.

I like that one; it has, as Wormsmeat said in his post, that 60's Sci Fi thing going
.Thank you!But the second one -- the grasshopper side-on on he flower -- I could (and did) look at that for a long time. I could imagine that on the wall providing many happy hours of pointless contemplation!
Actually, this is a compositional choice that I did make. I'm experimenting with subject isolation and what is the minimum amount of in-focus area that I can use with a flower and have it still work as a floral composition. Too much DOF and the background can become a distraction; too little and it just looks like an OOF image. I actually did use a bit of focus stacking on a couple of the images here to deepen the in-focus areas, believe it or not.
Aren't they at least going to invite you to join the fun?

Geoff - How is your friendly, neighborhood volcano doing? I just saw an amazing video of an eruption on Facebook. It's a far cry from these peaceful scenes.

Very highly complicated. Press shutter and watch lcd. Take all the credit later.Mobile again, it was time for another venture into the night - which unfortunately was typical, in that it was a last minute arrangement, not timely for a meet-up shout out. Fortunately Christof and daughter Sarah were flexible while here from Germany for two weeks.

Good times last night Bob. Under the GWB and up high in Weehawken are two great locations. I hope you got a good night's sleep after all that driving.

With Fall approaching, I thought I would catch changes in the flowers around the yard. This one, surrounded by seed pods was particularly interesting.
Going to Seed.
While shooting, a bumble bee (I love insect macro shots) volunteered its services...
Bumble bee on Lily.
... which was inspirational.

Sorry for the soft focus. I've had my M.Zuiko 60mm Macro a week and am still learning how best use it with moving subjects.)

It is all over Jim. Quiescent in about 24 hours.
There were some terrific photos and videos around from in the darkness (it went off at about 3.30AM) and particularly, in the dawn. I missed that; as I explained in my volcano pix post, I just couldn't get my eyes open after a poorish night's sleep following two weeks of full-on work away and a modest celebration on returning home!
So I turned up pretty late for it all -- about mid-morning.
Damn, damn, damn! LOL.
Cheers, geoff
