    Amazing Gaze

          13

    The head-dress really makes this portrait, as well as the reflection of lighting in the eyes, but perhaps just a little more of the head-dress included at the top would make this a perfect portrait. Excellent!

  1. I was crouched on my knees amongst thorny bushes to take this one


    Shanghai 100 ASA, Voightlander 325/41 AR pink filter. Fifth exhaustion in 500ml one-shot developer.


    Development time 12 minutes @ 20°C. 

  2. Fascinating is right ! for those living in temperate or tropical climates seeing images like this "floating" ice block in a faraway cold region is always of great interest. At first, I thought it was a digital alteration, how wrong. Thanks Laurent for a well exposed, well seen shot of this "stranded" ice formation

  3. Scanned from an eighteen year old slightly faded negative and if my memory serves me correctly, the Minolta was set on "Auto" to take this shot, one of many taken using Auto during the course of the day at the carshow. A spot of saturation and sharpening in Mac OSX Preview "Adjust Colour" tool was all that I employed to bring this originally sharp image back to acceptable viewing. One thing I've never done is underestimate my Minolta 7s. I bought it secondhand many years ago and it's always been completely reliable, needing only a rangefinder adjustment every five years or so. Otherwise, it has sound mechanicals, robustness, versatility, good optics and faithful colour, I'm pleased to say

  4. What do you do when a Banded Leg Huntsman parks itself on some old dusty shade cloth two nights running ? Well you take a photo of course and you don't argue about it. You don't argue with Miss Pretty Legs either, with her five inch leg span and potentially nasty bite, I wasn't about to ask her to move some place else, anywhere but on that contrasty shade cloth, for a better shot. What do you think ? pick it to pieces, not the spider, the dig alt

    I think all of your photographs are spectacular Laurent, not just this one, but all. I'm searching for inspiration and I'm finding it in your rich colourful photography, filling every frame, edge to edge, with interesting subject matter and vibrant colours that bring every one of your scenes to real life in a very profound way. Beautiful to view

    On the straight and level now Alicia, good work, simple improvement made all the difference over first one - I should talk though, some of mine are not absolutely level, however I discovered recently that Photoshop adjusts in fractions of a degrees so going back to do mine

  5. My intention with this common flower picture, apart from photographing just the flower, was to introduce a little extra life into the composition by including the sky and an extra flower to make it a more interesting picture. This exposure was as you see it except for cropping and some lightening of the top half of the upper petals

    Beautiful picture, takes a few minutes of viewing to get used to the fly lazing around on that petal, but pleasant colourful image just the same
