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

Another warm one!

 Hello Woofers.

Daisy here!

I've just been looking at a map showing the rainfall over the July period and guess what we got?

0mm!

That says it all!

Even with clouds this morning there was no sign of the wet stuff!

Looking out across the Thames Estuary.

We came across this flower on our walk this morning, we have seen it before but not as large as these ones.

I’m not sure what it's called but it's bound to be a weed of some sort!

Another little flower was the Pomeranian called Bobby who had been 'Washed & Sploshed' and wasn't too happy about it! Before, he had been a bundle of fluff but after a shave he had changed his colour from chestnut brown to kaki, except around his head!


Old Two Legs was playing about with the camera and decided to take a colour picture of me hunting in the long grass!

The temperature was so warm this afternoon that we all decided to have a rest and stick our paws in the air!

OTL fell asleep in front of the TV while The Missus collapsed on the sofa and I hid under the desk!

It looks like tomorrow is going to be the same only a bit more sunshine!

Down here we now have a hose pipe ban and I reckon it will last until next spring! 

Lookking at the calendar on the computer a year ago today Holly left us. It doesn't seem like a year ago 

and I still miss her like crazy!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy.
