You might remember my distress at not having been able to grab any tiny balancing sheep photos. Went out for a walk today and it wasn't perfect (the pathway is noticeably higher than the field which makes it tricky) BUT VICTORY IS MINE! πŸ‘ 😁

I continue to stand by rubbish-but-real being better than polished-but-fake.

Behold my rubbish-but-real triptych.

The earlier discussion on the value of rubbish-but-real in the context of tiny balancing sheep was here, in case anyone wonders why I'm banging on about this as a victory 😁

@eclectech so cool!
Show threadeclectechMar 18
@GreenSkyOverMe I was *far* too excited when I realised they were there (the path only has a very small number of posts - it was a tiny balancing miracle)!

@eclectech You cannot be too excited about tiny balancing sheep!

@eclectech

Rubbish but real is entirely my approach :-)

(While trying (but mostly failing, in good humour) to become less rubbish through practice.)

Show threadeclectechMar 18
@OccasionalDucks Definitely the way forward. I am going to try and work up to a good tiny balancing sheep, but getting some rubbish ones was still very satisfying!

@eclectech Excellent work!

I hardly ever come across sheep in my neck of the woods but I did meet someone repainting the lighthouse!

I did think of the magnificent but too rare tiny balancing sheep whenI took this πŸ˜„

@eclectech That is a great and very worthy triptych. And the sheep are impressively wee. 10/10 from me.

@eclectech clearly in #3, the tiny sheep is going to the grass on top of the fencepost.

@nxskok Yes! This is what I thought too.

These are fantastic!

Now you need to get the sheep to take a tiny-balancing-person photo for you.

Has anyone spotted a tiny balancing coo?

Show threadeclectechMar 31
@Joshua344 It is the joy of forced perspective! Find sheep in a field, ideally behind a fence of some kind. Crouch down so it appears the distant sheep is standing on top of the fence post. Take photo. Post with the TinyBalancingSheep hashtag 😁

@eclectech ok am going to post but then my question comes are you a farmer???
Cause the sheep always belong to the farm..
Am also a farmer
