edited to increase contrast and get rid of tan colours. i just really like the look of the pattern here. it was waves in shallow water on a sunny day.
This abstract is meant to represent duality, the contrast between the light and dark in all of us. Like the Roman god Gemini, there is two sides to everything.
Nikon F100, Nikon 105mm VR f/2.8G micro lens, Nikon SB600 speedlight in TTL, Lomography Redscale XR 50-200 film developed in standard C-41 chemistry, 1/60 sec at f/22, ISO 50.
I really haven't been able to get out much lately. The weather has been nice, but I've been busy with work and other things. The sun sets really early now, so I dont' know if I'll be able to catch good light for a while. Perhaps a lot of nightshots are in my future.
Since I haven't been getting out much, I've been playing with smoke inside at night. At least it's something :)

there's never any time when you are ever left alone
your responsibilities multiply and you are left to atone
the guilt always grips you as you never have the time
(and energy is unavailable even when you do)
to appreciate the present, find fulfillment, so you 'family mime'
others seem enlightened and somewhat energised
but you cannot find your feet and only supervise
obstacles make you weary,
you cannot find a pace
and everything comes out of the woodwork
when you are already in a race
time is always on top of you
no matter what you do
and your superiors are always on at you
without regard for what you do or have been through
life slips through your fingers
and you often shed a tear
as you cannot get any traction,
Or happiness to reappear
You wonder at your journey
you cannot see it clearly
what are you really getting out of life events?
Things are looking very jaded
and good things are already faded
You wish for passion and for pleasure
and perseverance for divine assistance
to give you some persistence and help you find your way

Challenge #41: Shape and color
I'm still playing with abstracts. I've been scoping out things at home, playing with light to get interesting shapes to appear.
After friendly feedback from the great guys and gals in #TwPhCh I've uploaded this alternative crop, which I think works much better at emphasizing the shapes.
Taken a while ago last year when it was warm and sunny, I put these on my hard drive to save for a rainy day edit session. Which we've been having a lot recently in England. After finally fine tuning my black and white presets in lightroom I'd thought I'd run a few through and am quite pleased with the results. I also seem to have an abundance of macro insect shots to go through, so watch this space.
