Last on the Card – July 2022

Last Photo for July 2022

How wonderful to have thirty-nine people show us their last photos for June 2022. I don’t look at stats often any more but was intrigued to see about June as I was a bit down last month. Apart from the fabulous thirty-nine, there was ninety-one likes and an amazing 292 views. I don’t understand that bot WP stats have always confused me. Lastly, I’d like to thank everyone for cheering me up with their kind words and posts.

Like a lot of people I forget and am surprised at what was the last photo on the four devices I use to take photos. I went from –

  • things
  • to a new leaf
  • to too far away
  • early morning fuzzy

So let’s see what you have for July 2022

The rules are simple:
1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for the 31st July.
2. No editing – who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like or the subject matter didn’t cooperate.
3. You don’t have to have any explanations, just the photo will do
4. Create a Pingback to this post or link in the comments
5. Tag “The Last Photo”

It’s Black and White

The May Photo a Day Challenge from Maria at CitySonnet: Silhouette

I have been doing silhouettes for quite some time now. These are my original photos converted to black and white and the outline of the birds redrawn by hand. The black enhanced and filled but not “flood filled” but each pixel or a group of pixels. The same process with the white part of my photograph.

I haven’t done any new ones for a while now as it is rather time consuming. I haven’t applied borders. When the photo is framed it doesn’t need a border but on the web page perhaps.  I hope you enjoy my bird silhouettes.
This is the first one I attempted. A White-faced Heron who was sitting on a tree in my garden.silhouette_blog_white-faced-heron
