The Watcher by maggiemae

The Watcher

This time the black stocking was double thickness and using a zoom I caught our pussycat reclining just watching - something!

Looks good on the Black.

Three good things:
1. It was Easter Sunday and a bit like a holiday but on my walk, there was still a lot of traffic.
2. We won a roast lamb yesterday and I cooked it today - took over 3 hours at 150deg C and the gravy was so delicious!
3. Great videos on “Wimp’ - www.wimp.com You could waste a good part of the day!
Ha ha Maggiemae I love the stocking/photos. I received a challenge a while ago and also liked to play with this technique. I used a light stocking and did not make a whole in it.

Interesting technique. That is a big looking cat!

You are having fun with this technique Maggie and are producing some interesting images!

This looks like it could be Professor McGonagall waiting for baby Harry Potter to be delivered to the Dursleys.

Interesting image.

An excellent picture especially on a black. I like the faraway view. It sounds like Sylvia did the same thing that I told you about in your other photo. I meant pantyhose when I said pantyhose. Strange as that might seem for someone to use as a photography aid.

well done...great pic...interesting technique works well here...

@grammyn Pantyhose is easy to stretch over the lens whereas paper isn't.
March 27th, 2016  
Great light on your cat...I'm going to have to try this trick with pantyhose :)
March 27th, 2016  
@seattlite Never throw out holey pantyhose! Good for tying up plants too!

Interesting technique... it gives a this image a sense of timelessness and history. Lovely.

It softens the outer areas & adds a vignette instantly! :)
