Another Mono Day!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy back again.

Yesterday we were thinking about using a red filter but it's use is somewhat limited so we stuck to the yellow filter.

Old Two Legs had the idea of using the InfraRed camera but was too lazy to get it out of the photo cupboard!

So, we stuck to the normal camera with the menu set for Monochromatic use and of course the Yellow Filter!

  A yellow filter is OK but you need a bit of cloud to add some contrast to the shot!

 What OTL should have done was to reduce the White Balance but he was more interested in getting me to keep up and to leave the sniffs alone!

  Should have done the old 'Fiddly Diddly'!

'Fiddly Diddly is OK but I could sniff something on the wind that was calling to me!

 I stood there for a good ten minutes sniffing the breeze and finally I rushed down the path and found it, a dried-up dead rat who I helped roll into the grass!

You know, I reckon it's a bit of dead ratatooie!

One of the good things about walking where we di is that it is a bushy maze and there is a bench half way around, so if I get a bit lazy, OTL can sit there while I catch up with him!

 

 It's OK providing the birds haven't poo'd on the seat!

 We have never got lost in the maze but there are times when the maze sort of blends into a path!

 

 Now, this is a bit of the path and not the maze!

 This bench and table were Holly and my favourite bit of shade after coming off the sea front. When OTL sits on the bench there is a nice shadow to relax in!

 

 You can see the shadow under the table.

 Well, that's it for today, back home to some serious snoozing!

Luv,

Daisy.

A Monochromatic Morning!

Hi Woofers.

It's Daisy again!

Old Two Legs loves to play with the camera settings, the lenses and filters and today he has done all three at once!

He has been into the settings and dialled in the Monochromatic settings, ‘cos it provides significantly greater contrast between blue and yellow or white subjects. It's a sort of black 'n white fiddly diddly with coloured glass in front of the lens!

Just to make sure the settings were in order, a picture of my tail waving in the air!

When we got down to the sea front, a shot of the late sunrise. Not the best shot and it would have been better if there were some broken clouds.
 

 It was better when we got to the Two Trees but once again the lack of broken clouds didn't help any!

I must admit that I started to loose interest and was pleased to bump into Ollie and share a couple of sniffs.

 

 Not a bad sniff for first thing in the  morning!

 

 While I was saying good bye to Ollie, OTL took this sneaky shot of me, I'm naturally monochromatic!

  I think the forest was best for B&W, you can fill the whole frame with the subject.

 Just for a change, there were no other woofers around, so, that made for some good shots of the forest leaves and trunks.

 Plus, there was the benefit of the temperature being three degrees lower that being in the sunshine.

Tomorrow we may take the Infrared camera with us and see what happens!

Bye for now.

Luv,

Daisy
