Hello all.
We got home on Saturday and today it feels like I am finally recovered from the drive back.
We had one awful day of rain as we drove through Georgia. My poor DH, all that rain and spray from the trucks made the day grueling. However, we had no SNOW to contend with, so it could have been worse. It is good to be home though, real good.
I apologize for being MIA for so long. I did not take many photos because of hosting company for so many days, the weather was cold and windy, and there wasn't anything new to take photos of.
But I am back now and will hopefully get my mojo back.
Hi, Natalie.
I have a niece in Michigan's upper peninsula, she is around 8 now. She started with 1 chicken as a pet, then 2, and so on, and so on. She now has 17! She sells her eggs to the neighbors, it all started during the days of COVID. She has her own little business going. Good for her. I like your photo of the chicken. Until we saw photos of my niece's chickens, did I realize the many colors and species there are. It seems like more and more people are raising chickens in their backyard.
Rich, I had no idea how you created this image but want to thank you for sharing it and the directions.
It is so cool.
Our club has a meeting next week where we will be bringing it set-ups for our club to photograph. I wonder if this would be a good idea for me to try. If only we had a sink in the room. I wonder if you have to use ink. I have food coloring from my cake decorating days and if I dyed some water very very black, and maybe thickened it up a tad with some Glycerin, the consistency would be the same as ink. I would try it here at home first to see if it works. Maybe it is not a good idea for the group shoot, I don't feel like repeating the process all night. If more than one person could take the shot, it would work maybe. I could dump the water into a pail and start a new setup.
Geez, just typing it all out here convinces me that this is not a good idea. At the last setup we did, I brought so much stuff, I had to make about 5 trips and I said I would not do it again.
Got any more good ideas like that one, Rich? Thinking about all of the images that you have shared, you did a lot of unusual set ups.
Here is a bird to continue the thread.
