!DAILY UPDATES! September. 366 days: your 2016 in photographs

[Frank Fremerey]

Today and tomorrow 34 degrees centigrade are announced.
I am happy to use the cool morning for work. Yet now I am starting
to get tired from all the words I wrote and review and edit.

my brain needs sleep to digest all that, put it into a better, clearer
order and make it easily digestable for the readers.

When I saw this composition I instantly knew that it would fit very well in the "monochrome but not B&W images" thread

I find the scene colors depressing.
good geometry though. So I suggest to remix that in
more appealing black and white.

Siesta time, Frank

Hardly any distortion with the 20 UD

this morning I found the mouth and eye of decay in my kitchen

Frank, black and white might indeed work well for this simple 2D composition

John, glad you discovered for yourself that the 20mm f3,5 UD Nikkor is all kinds of amazing.
For special effects, try pointing it into the sun

[John Geerts]

Impressive mouth opener of the courgette Frank.

 Yes Buddy, tried all  of Nikon's 20mm's, all have their drawbacks, compared to the 17-35. The 20 UD seems to bring something special.  I like it.

Oh, the sun shot, yes, impressive

As long as Kristina watches, these two are like circus dogs and perform their acrobatics in perfection, but when Kristina doesn't pay attention....

... they become clowns

[Frank Fremerey]

Impressive mouth opener of the courgette Frank.

As if it suddenly started to lead a life of its own!

disconcerting

[Frank Fremerey]

Buddy: now you got you BG sorted out in perfection!

Kristina: Does Lumi play the dominant role here or does it only look that way?

[Frank Fremerey]

What do I do before I start my day?

Prepare some very special "Nutella Toast" for a very special little lady....

... then I dress her, prepare a second breakfast to take out, brush her teeth and walk her to the Kindergarden

ooc, ooc, auto contrast, auto contrast

Buddy: now you got you BG sorted out in perfection!

Kristina: Does Lumi play the dominant role here or does it only look that way?

It only looks that way Frank. This is a set pose, where both were told to hold position.

Great shots Kristina and Buddy
A sweet breakfast, Frank

September 14th  Another record-breaking heat on this day - above 32 degrees

Shot from a driving car, the most famous Artwork of Tilburg -  the Rotating house.
In 53 minutes the house turns over the roundabout in a rail. 

• The artist (John Körmeling) wanted to make a connection between the 'Herdgang' (Street between century old squares) that was destroyed when the main road and roundabout were constructed.
• Secondly it is an mirror to all the boring house-building the seventies...   https://foursquare.com/v/hasseltrotonde-draaiend-huis/4c505891371520a1d6bf2bc1
• Thirdly, the intention was to have it rotated within 10 minutes, which was not allowed by the authorities who foresaw problems the house would be faster than the queueing cars, causing extra accidents
