5. Spinnaker Tower in the mist

365 🎂
What an education.
It took me ages to understand the language of pov, dof and bif (point of view, depth of field & birds in flight) and then there is bokeh.
I didn’t have a clue who Bob was (best on black).
Then there are the challenges, if you win 😊 you host the next challenge ☹️. Not to be put off I have had a go and been fortunate to win and survived cut & paste to be able to host the next challenge.
It took me ages to realise that if the bell on the right turns blue then there is a message.
Only just become accustomed to the Sh*t list (so happy it’s Thursday) which is a useful way of finding out what is happening within 365 regarding the challenges and themes.

I am gaining confidence in coming off auto
I look forward to the next 365 days to see what else I can learn.

I thank everybody who has commented and fav’d my photos.

Totally echo that! I remember asking people what all those tla's meant. I didn't know bif til I read it here just now!
Love looking for your images every day, I think you are doing great and I love this misty view of the familiar Spinnaker Tower.

beautiful capture of what looks like a spaceship emerging from the clouds
fav
Yes, I agree, it took me a year to understand that lingo, and you have taught me a few more. Must go and investigate the sh*t list. Never knew about it, Have never entered challenges as I still do not understand them

[Bill]

Lovely picture. Good to see someone else taking pictures of this area.

[Susan Wakely]

@casablanca thank you. I saw bif used last week.

[Carole Sandford]

Well done on your year! It really is a different language to begin with!
This is a lovely shot, I like how the tower emerges above the mist!

@marlboromaam it was lovely to see the mist and then the sun today.

[Susan Wakely]

@jacqbb thank you. Still much more to navigate and learn.

[Susan Wakely]

@uerks thank you.

[Susan Wakely]

@ninaganci check out the challenges some are really interesting especially when looking for ideas. There is always someone to help if you get stuck.

[Susan Wakely]

@bill_gk different perspective from your view as looking from the west of Hayling across to the East of Pompey.

[Susan Wakely]

@carole_sandford it kept disappearing so had to wait in my wellies in the mud on a low tide.

[Cazzi]

Happy 365 Anniversary and really glad you're going to carry on with your project. Love your photo of the Spinnaker Tower, at first glance it looked like a rocket taking off!

[Susan Wakely]

@serendypyty thank you. Pigs in Space!

[Yolanda]

Very nice!

[sheri]

Neat effect.

[Steve Chappell]

Great capture

[Esther Rosenberg]

so cool!

[Babs]

Great shot. Well done on completing your first year on 365. It took me ages to discover who or what Bob was too, ha ha. Also I only realized a couple of years ago that after you had posted a comment and then noticed a typo you can click on the edit button under your comment and correct the typo and save it again.

[Shutterbug]

Congrats on a successful year. I love your text so funny and true. Love the way the tower just barely pokes out of the mist. Don’t forget for (flash of red - the February challenge).

[Kathy]

Congratulations on completing your first year. I'm still working on some of those things. Some days you can't tell I know anything.

This is such an interesting photo. The Spinnaker, that's not just something on a boat, right?

[Lis Lapthorn]

Looks like a rocket about to zoom out of the mist. Great shot.

[Mona]

Huge congratulations on your first year, celebrating with this excellent photo. Embrace all of that you found here,... it is a wonderful journey!

[Susan Wakely]

@mona65 thank you so much.
