this was difficult to execute. i've done this quite a few times as the other week's 52frames theme was depth of field. i wanted the hand to be more defined but since the focus was on the ring i couldn't quite get what i wanted. the inscriptions in the ring is in tengwar which is translated as One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
my knee's swelling has subsided but it is still painful to walk. i had to pick up a prescription and i went after our zoom church service. the wind was blowing quite fiercely and a large portion of the sidewalks were still covered by thick snow that it was quite difficult to navigate. the normal 6-minute walk to the bus stop took me more than 15 minutes. the bus ride was a lot shorter than the walk. however, during the short walk to the pharmacy, there was a big gust of wind that really swept me from the pavement to the edge of the road. if my walking stick didn't find purchase in the hardened ice, i would have gone over on to the road. in fact, two cars hit their breaks as they probably saw what happened and didn't move until i managed to walk back to the sidewalk. i was thinking 'did i really lose that much weight now!' scary moments, indeed. i think i will stay in my apartment until after the winter.
I'm not sure how you did it either, but it looks great! Be careful when you venture forth- and always check to see if whatever you need can be delivered first- I want to be able to visit with you again!
@olivetreeann - i did, but i was told i was outside the radius of their delivery service. i should've called for a taxi and that's what i did coming back.
Yes you must stay inside. I agree with JackieR, there has to be someone from church or a good neighbor who can run some errands for you! I like the message inside the ring, this is a stellar depth of field image.
I'm thinking the ring is on a glass table maybe. I'm not sure I would have known it was your hand without you saying so. Missed what the shadow was when I first looked at your photo. Very cool
I like the idea of the photo. The floating ring is very cool. I think the hand is a little too transparent to really recognize it without being told. Glad to hear you are improving, but it's a dangerous thing you do - walking on ice.
You be careful in your forays in this bad weather. Bad knees is nothing to trifle with
FANTASTIC!
No not the feisty, independent, brave person, but the owner of a Dr Who "Timekeeper" and a Lord of the Rings "One Ring"!!
I am wondering if you have a Star Wars light sabre, a Star Trek Phaser or any other iconic props!!
Get someone from church to help you out, a neighbour, anyone!!
Clever composition, I think it would work as a composite, so the shadow goes through the ring, or toned the shine on that inner part.
Now my friend, REST, REST, REST. STAY INDOORS ☺️😉
Take care of yourself and be careful!
