    Washing up

    Sitting here trying hard to work out how you managed this shot. The big orange ofcourse catches the eye but its the golden bottles that I like the best. You see differently and interestingly Robert.

    (thank you for taking a real good look at my pics, am between trips at present, will later thank you for each. Meanwhile please accept a 'general' thank you:) Audrey

    This pair of works is a good example of your gift of seeing the 'everyday' and turning them to the unusual. I am thrilled to see you join us here Rob. By no means a perfect site but bigger and so more choice as to how each wish to be. There's a 'picture this' section that I wish to join sometime when time allows. Looking around, you'll find many of your friends here (Nail D:)

    Sooo glad you are here :)

    Nice abstract of shades of greys, am trying to decide if the top left corner shades into true black. Composition is unusual, how/what is it Robert...Robert the same W I know?!:)

    Lovely light through her path. The person coming round the corner in the opposite direction gives interest and balance. I think this may lean itself even better in B&W.

    Anthony, I took this in a park of greenery background. The camera was set on Marco (f2.2/50mm)which more or less totally blurred out the background. Post work involved converting to B&W, burnt in the background slightly, sepia tones & selected small areas for USM. I'm away from home for the next 3/4 weeks, thereafter, should you be interested, I'd be happy to upload the original here to show you. Many thanks for stopping by.

    Hi Pulok, this glass paperweight (?) has an interesting pattern as well as good colours. i like the angle of placement, the shadow adds interest too. Sometime ago, I tried my hand at this idea, placed the paperweight on a negative light box, which gave a clear even surround light as well with no shadows - that was fun too.

    Idyllic indeed, this is lovely. Love the square format :), there's a strong feeling of yesteryear when the world was a kinder, calmer place. Not that this needs it, out of interest wondering if you debated adding a touch of sepia?
  1. My first thought before reading your interesting account of the house was 'oh - scary'! What a interesting story behind this lovely house. Your use of the fisheye coupled with darkish clouds overhead and general tonal range addes to the scary feel! If the house is still in use by important people, wonder if the 'white lady' follwed the B. ambassador to the next place!
  2. I'm impressed you captured this quility of smoothness on film and OM2 no less :) (My very first camera which I still think the greatest was a OM1) This composition is kind of scary, so quiet, not a car to be seen on the highway and that light that drops to total darkness. Very nice indeed.
  3. Thank you Brad for the kind words. In its earlier life, this was a straight B&W till I fiddled and high keyed & added sepia tones. My aim was for it to look pencil drawing-ish. Glad you think I sort of got there :)

    Her own world

    Hello David, Wouldn't it be interesting to see the world through her or any child's fresh eyes? Here, she is indeed in her own space. I don't know if you are a 'full frame' kind of guy? If this were mind, I'd be tempted to crop just a tad off the top, but don't mind me, I'm a great cropper :)
  4. Hats off to your first try at colour print, not that I know zip as to how to go about it myself. Before reading your comment, my first thought was the snow is too pink. Looking again, strange how the colours of the top portion of the image is just fine, the small parts of white on the building stayed true to white, yet the lower half didn't. Wish I knew more to through light on the problem :(

    Ice Teeth

    Hello Claude, Icicles and photographers go hand and hand, don't they :) These long icicles are like teeth from the rock or curtains from the sun. I wonder if converted to B&W the shadows might play a bigger part? Well seen.

    "New Day"

    Agreeing with everyone above this is a lovely skyscape. That burning light, be it first or last of the day only lasts seconds and you've caught it for ever. The simplicity of the composition with just a touch of the silhouetted land gives a calm and tranquil feel.

    If it were mine to decide, I'd put this one up for the show. There's a far away view to this version and the sky & water sometimes really does look exactly like this. With the other, we get a bit caught up with the near tree (blur or not etc). This the eye just drinks in the WHOLE :)
