All shots of this series done with the Samyang 135/2 wide-open plus reflector (in this case the window pane through which the shot was done).
Separating the sacred (the church, to the left) from the profane (the village, to the right). All shots of this series done with the Mitakon Speedmaster at F0.95.

All shot from the hip. The locals understandably did not allow focused photography in the old city market area.
.... the first of a short series of images I took recently up at my usual haunt. They were all shot in colour.
Maybe some time for a few detail shots? All shot at this years Greenwich Concours Show. I find the early, pre "Spirit of Ecstasy" hood mascot on the 1909 Rolls interesting. Obviously, it was before Eleanor entered the picture, and the bedroom, so to speak! ;)
We've all shot it , the image that goes begging but you know it's been done over and over and finally you just do it. This is one of those shots for me in Adelaide. Now that Ive done it I'm happy and I can look at it when I pass it by and look away without guilt.
Another group of fall color photos from Lakes of the North (Mancelona, MI) or points close by.
All shots taken mid-October using a Sony 7R3 DSLR + Sigma 50-500mm OS lens.
St Peter’s Square, Manchester
Everyone’s favourite tram stop in Manchester… Geoff’s turn.
A few coming from the Manchester meet-up with Brad and Barb – over from the USA back in May 2024.
The last in the series of sunset shots in Perth City. Shots all hand held taken from the Rooftop Bar at the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA). The weather and colours were fabulous and the vibe in the bar was trendy and laid back. All shots used the Ethereal filter (Urth) to give a little cinematic twist to the shots.
All shots of this series done with Leica M8 plus Voigtlander AS 2.8/90 wide-open. The location is one of Hertfordshire's garden centres (which, as I have told you before, I do regard as one of our barometers gauging the status of contemporary culture). This time, I had the chance of talking things through with one of the managers of the centre. First, the garden centre acquires and exhibits sculptures (and almost all sorts of them) because customers buy them. No surprise here, but as well no explanation as why they do so. Two, and importantly, the centre displays the sculptures according to visual criteria (difference of colour, background, focal or points of attraction). Three, the sculptures (as stand alone figures or in clusters) are located on critical junctions of the passage way through the centre. All this, in my view, creates a semi-sacred topography where customers (believers in the regeneration and wholeness of nature) perambulate as if on a procession. The content and individuality of any specific religion does not seem to matter, however, a general and undefined kind of spirituality does.

I believe the cranes here are part of the construction of the new Edith Cowan University campus in the city.

All shots of the whale sharks were taken responsibly, i.e. snorkeling, without using flashes and with sufficient distance.
The animals were not fed and swam in plankton-rich waters in a natural seasonal migratory corridor for whale sharks. When they had had enough, they dived into the depths.
Negative scanning: not quite there yet
This photo was converted differently from the preceding image. Most significantly, it was converted from a negative that was shot one stop overexposed (in the digitization process; all shots were correctly exposed at ISO 200 on film), while the previous one was converted from a shot that was one stop underexposed. The difference in grain and noise is quite obvious to my eyes.
I am continuing to work on my negative scanning skills with mixed but improving results. This is my latest conversion. The photo was taken on Kodak Portra 400 exposed at ISO 200. I'm not sure that this was the best approach and will be shooting at 320 in my next experiment. One stop of overexposure adds saturation and appears to do some odd things to the sky (or is it that my skills at converting negatives and color correction are simply not there yet?).
For this one, I digitized the film using my Canon EOS R and my trusty Sigma 105mm Macro. Upon importing into Adobe Lightroom, I used the Enhance command, which refines the quality of raw files and creates an enhanced DNG file. I converted the DNG file using Negative Lab Pro, which gave me better colors than Negmaster for some reason. I then finished processing the image in Photoshop.
Any hints, critiques, advice, and/or other input is cordially requested. Any questions will be answered to the best of my ability.

SHOCKINGLY VIVID SKY ON A FINE MORNING
------------------------------------------------------------------
We were stepping out for our usual morning walk, we saw this amazingly violent clouds in the sky, rushed in to fetch our camera and run to the terrace to capture these moments which lasted for very few minutes.
Unusual sky, infact i was shocked to see such a violent skyscape. Fiddled with pocket camera, used auto/Manual and many modes, all shots look similar with slight change in tone.
All shots were taken this week at Radnor Lake, Tennessee

Here you can see all the shots from all 50 weeks!
A blend of three images, all shot with the 24mm f/1.4 prime:
1. Short exposure for the Milky Way
2. Longer exposure for the mountain
3. Blue-hour exposure for the flowers
Unfortunately, the wind was quite bad on the day the Milky Way was shot, so the flowers are from the same location but a day or two later. A complicated blend given the different lighting conditions and lens distortion to correct. As always, constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement are welcome.
Milky Way rising over wildflower blooms, Mount Saint Helens, Washington, USA.
