Saw an opportunity for some #photography this morning. Was too tired to get more photos, this one required a deep crouch to dodge the telephone wires & get the look I wanted, but crouching is difficult for me and I've been doing too much walking this week. #NaturePhotography #Sunlight

My subject today. I plucked this branch of hosta flowers last week, so I could photograph it in the house. Being disabled often means bringing your subjects indoors or getting creative with whatever is in your house. I spend most of the summer sequestered cuz I'm very heat sensitive &

A bit of meta photography. You know ppl think this doesn't take any skill or artistic acumen, but you have to even see the vision before you can fight with the fact the camera doesn't see the way the human eye does #photography #MacroPhotography #CreativeToots #disabled #DisabledPhotographer

Geese and goslings at my school. I got registered for fall courses today, and found out I have likely cleared all my gen eds required for the pharmacy program I want to apply for. It's just science and math classes now. #photography #nature #birds #bird #spring #CellphonePhotography

hey, so I downloaded this today and am having some texture issues. I did make sure to have YAS installed and am using the YAS options in lux redux, but I've got an empty feeling inside that something is misbehaving in the textures

Tried to take a pic of my cat's pretty yellow eyes. Not too bad considering she was trying to sleep when suddenly my phone was in her face lol #photography #cats #caturday #CatsOfMastodon #animals #pets

I'm so goofy yo. Forgot I'd put the rest of the snow photos on my phone and I could've been posting them this whole time. Here's an icicle bud! Can't wait for the trees to bloom #NaturePhotography #TreeBranch #CreativeToots #MastoArt #Sunlight #OutdoorScene #snow #winter #photo #photography #ice

snow and ice that's only just beginning to become an icicle on a slender tree branch

I've got three versions of this photo that I really like. I'll post them tomorrow and Thursday. Just trying different effects and aesthetics mostly. #NaturePhotography #TreeBranch #CreativeToots #MastoArt #Sunlight #OutdoorScene #snow #winter #photo #photography #ice

Got a bit of executive function to edit some photos this morning. I kinda liked the sepia tone style of this particular preset. Snow from December actually. #NaturePhotography #TreeBranch #CreativeToots #MastoArt #Sunlight #OutdoorScene #snow #winter #photo #photography #ice

Sunrise from this morning! It had such lovely hints of turquoise. Had to scramble to get my camera & do a long exposure while having to pee to catch it lol #photography #sunrise #sky #skyscape #trees #sun #naturephotography #urban #cityscape #CreativeToots #MastoArt

Last week's class drawing! The assignment was "drapery" basically drawing cloth and folds. There were multiple suggestions on doing it. I went with hanging a towel from my cabinet door. #MastoArt #CreativeToots #beginner #BeginnerArtist #art #pencil #traditional #drawing

Got a bit of a bizarre artifact on this, but it was an impromptu cellphone photo. Annoyed cuz it doesn't really capture quite what I was looking at, but I'll live. Library foyer on the campus I visited today. #photography #CellphonePhoto #architecture #building #MastoArt #CreativeToots

This week's lesson was on chiaroscuro and shadows! I see where I could've improved some shading, to improve the depth and contouring, but my fibromyalgia is flaring, so 😅 #MastoArt #CreativeToots #beginner #BeginnerArtist #art #pencil #traditional #drawing

Been a little while, but I've got photos from the snow! Before it got super deep and absolutely wretched to walk thru, esp as a disabled person. Today, some moss & lichen on a tree! #NaturePhotography #MossCovered #GreenMoss #lichen #MossCoveredTree #photography #MacroPhotography #CreativeToots

Transferred to my giant paper with my paltry attempt at contour lines. I don't really understand how to make them frfr. #MastoArt #CreativeToots #beginner #BeginnerArtist #pencil #Cinnamaroll

First submission for art class! First one is my free hand attempt. Second is with a ruler. This shit is fuckin hard, how do y'all art people do this? Hubby had to help explain the "use a pencil to measure" thing and, like, figuring out the angles #MastoArt #beginner #pencil

Pink for more warmth. It was frigid yesterday and the day before, so need some warmth for the day. It's supposed to be a little warmer outside at least. #photography #florespondence #bloomscrolling #flowers #naturephotography #MacroPhotography #CreativeToots

Another pair of edits, this time a red pansy. One in full color, the other with the foliage in grayscale. Which do you like better? #photography #florespondence #bloomscrolling #flowers #naturephotography #MacroPhotography #CreativeToots #BlackArt #BlackPhotographer
