A2A Series

Attraction 2 Abstraction

The intial image was taken at Comic Con in Niagara Falls ON. Quite a different experience that is. I like this effect that I have see used by one of my contacts.

Love her work.

A2A (Attraction 2 Abstraction)

Some scenes require rethinking and post hypnotic suggestions.

A2A Series

Sometimes, I don't know where I am to be. Sometimes I am nowhere yet moving somewhere.

The flight of wisdom is most often dumbed-down.

I am having a hard time remembering what this was. I think it was a potato masher and then thrown into Topaz Glow.

A2A Series "Attraction 2 Abstraction"

This is an older shot from Camp 31 in Bowmanville ON.

I have applied the blur effect on this one also and removed the blur from the middle.

I love Flea markets. They always provide me with some sort of creative options. Toys I never had.

I can play all day. I could cover the whole kitchen table with stuff. Not a good thing.

Still playing with this blur effect.

I hope everyone is safe and healthy.

taken sometime ago and modified last week. Still experimenting a bit with this technique.

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Quando penso em pôr do sol, não penso em fim; não penso que é hora de parar; não penso em descansar.

Pôr do sol é um pequeno momento mágico que, de tão pequeno, temo não tê-lo fixado em minhas memórias.

Pôr do sol é o maior momento de contemplação, de reflexão; é o momento cuja imagem guardo no coração.

🚦Depois de quase quatro meses longe do Instagram... ⌛️📆

Voltei! 🙋‍♂️

E com um monte de coisa boa atrasada que eu estou ansioso para compartilhar com vocês.

📷 Vou começar com a primeira foto de capa do ano, publicada no NOTAER fevereiro de 2022, com o tema “Dia da aviação de asas rotativas”. 🚁🚁🚁

Sobre a foto:

Em um fim de tarde chuvoso, decolei da Helibrás a bordo de um HM-4 do Exército. Logo em seguida, o H-36 da FAB (o da foto) também decolou. Rumamos para um morro próximo, como eu havia solicitado no briefing.

Com todo equipamento de fotografia e de segurança checados, a janela lateral foi aberta. 🚦Hora de iniciar a coreografia que havia escrito no papel e combinado com os pilotos. Não haviam holofotes 🔦 e nem plateia. Voamos lado a lado 💃, paramos de frente um para o outro, ele girou em torno de si, voltamos a voar em par ao redor do morro para no final, fazermos um flare e um pouso suave.

Após o pouso, todos os integrantes daquele ensaio de dança no ar estavam com um sorriso no rosto😀. Nossa sessão fotográfica havia sido um sucesso e já poderia ganhar os olhares de uma plateia de entusiastas da Força Aérea.

Many years ago, over Iraq, the crew of this RAF Vickers VC-10 pulls up alongside for a photo. It was a very slow day, so any break in the droning, was welcomed.
