DC-3
An interesting and noisy trip across Bass Strait to King Island off Tasmania's coast provided an opportunity when the light was right to show a detail of this old bird's skin, in all its patinated glory.

STORMY WEATHER (trees)
Glad I was already in my car before the heavens opened. It went incredibly dark, but it didn't last for very long, and the sun was soon out again.

LUCY IN THE SKY
I just messed about with the photograph of a luscious, large green tree against a nice blue background with the clouds, but I decided that was boring, so this is what I did to it.

INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT OR INTENTIONAL BLUR
I'm going to be trying this again because I rather like the outcome of this on my lavender in the garden, which has finished for the summer now, so I couldn't go and do it again.

Lovely lighting in this shot of my favorite airplane.
Thanks, Phillip! I didn't have much choice of viewpoint, and was very happy to have this view in the plane on this particular occasion.
As I have commented elsewhere, I love the toning of this - fits perfectly.
Thanks, Alan. We're both going a bit sepia, by the looks of recent posts... Checking back when you first commented, I was reminded how far I strayed from the truth here.
But isn't that what art is all about - building on a foundation of truth to create a story we want to portray?
I think you have told this tale wonderfully, from composition to lighting to toning.If just feels right!
Thanks again, Alan!
