Parfois, la créativité du photographe ne se limite pas au cadrage, mais s’exprime aussi dans l’ingéniosité du matériel et de l’installation. Poser un trépied sur un bureau, c’est transformer un espace de travail en studio improvisé, une astuce parfaite quand on manque de place ou que l’on veut stabiliser son appareil à hauteur idéale sans encombrer le sol. Cette approche rappelle le concept du Tripod Desk, un bureau mobile construit sur un trépied, qui allie mobilité et stabilité pour travailler ou shooter partout. Ici, le photographe fait preuve d’une belle capacité d’adaptation : en combinant stabilité et hauteur contrôlée, il surmonte les contraintes d’espace tout en gardant une maîtrise parfaite de la composition. Une belle illustration que la photographie, c’est aussi savoir détourner les outils et l’environnement à son avantage, avec un brin d’imagination et beaucoup d’astuce !

Sometimes, a photographer’s creativity isn’t limited to framing, but is also expressed in the ingenuity of their equipment and setup. Placing a tripod on a desk turns a workspace into an improvised studio—a perfect trick when you’re short on space or want to stabilize your camera at the ideal height without cluttering the floor. This approach brings to mind the concept of the “Tripod Desk,” a mobile workstation built on a tripod that combines mobility and stability for working or shooting anywhere. Here, the photographer demonstrates great adaptability: by combining stability and controlled height, they overcome space constraints while maintaining perfect composition. It’s a wonderful illustration that photography is also about repurposing tools and environments to your advantage, with a touch of imagination and plenty of resourcefulness !
I was walking around the vegetable garden when I noticed the interesting shape of this drying collard stem. To me, it reminds me of a gymnast's landing position. Or a dancer. Either way, I thought it was too unusual not to photograph.
This kid was practising Gymnastics at Kanheri Caves, Borivalli National Park. He was engrossed and totally focussed on practising.
The word gymnastics derives from the Greek gymnastike, fem. of gymnastikos which means fond of athletic exercises, from gymnasia meaning exercise and that from gymnos which means naked because athletes exercised and competed in the nude.(Source : Wikipedia)
My granddaughter was recently in a gym meet and this was a casual moment while she was waiting for the metals to be handed out. I liked her far off gaze, stance and expression. I've taken some artistic liberties with color and texture here.
The LEGO Gymnasts, Rebecca and Beth, decide that they aren't breaking their New Year's Resolutions if the pizza has vegetable toppings :-)
Happy New Year to everyone on Flickr! 2016 was definitely a tough year but I'm hopeful that 2017 will be better.
P.S. I got so hungry while taking this photo that we ordered a pizza :-)

Birthday cake for a friend's daughter. First time using a wire skeleton. Next time I'll use polystyrene for the box.

Our LEGO Gymnasts, Beth and Rebecca, enjoy a rare treat on Christmas - candy and cookies! They are excited to get a couple days off from training and lots of Christmas presents (leotards, grips etc) :-) Next year will be a very busy year for them because it's an Olympic year. Hopefully I can get some photos of them training :-)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of my Flickr Friends! Your comments and faves mean so much to me! Especially this year, which was extra stressful with buying and selling our house. I'm grateful for all your support! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic New Year.
I'm looking forward to everyone's photos in 2016 :-)
At the marshes in Oyster Creek, NJ, one tern stretches out after sitting on the beam to dry. Now she's warming up to go for another round of dives for her food.
Another early morning shot of a slowly moving bee. This image was selected by Deviant Art for my 4th Daily Deviation.
Tech Specs: Canon 1D Mark III (F13, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MPE-65mm macro lens (@2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (0 FEC). I used a grape leaf to keep the background from being black.

Best of luck to all of the athletes and countries in the 2016 Olympics in Rio. Best of luck to Rio as well.
Maybe for a few weeks the love and thrill of competition from so many wonderful people will overshadow the few people who spend most of their time yelling loudly about fear and hatred. As a planet - I think we can use the break. Maybe if we are lucky - those people will forget to come back to the yelling and the hating.
This, btw, is my niece in her gym in Washington. She isn't in Rio, but someday might be. You never know. Wonderful Saturday and first day of competition.
