I love my Mummy :-D 'cause she lets me get away with stuff like this :-D
SMC Takumar 135mm f3.5
Sometime in the early 2000s there was a blip in the timeline, where Union Pacific was handling Detroit Edison coal trains. Crazy, right? 2004 on the NS Chicago Line at Laporte Indiana
I know, they're more like purple...but then why are they called bluebells? Alternate title was going to be "Rays a little bell!"
A sequel to a post I made not too long ago: Evil versions of (generally) good people.
Flashpoint Wonder Woman, The Grim Knight, and Mazahs.

I can never make my mind up about anything it seems! I have decided to post both treatments of the same photo.....I feel this one is more subtle.

Today's shoot was really interesting, i didn't know exactly what i wanted to do but i know i wanted to use blood. I literally walked around my location for about an hour and a half before deciding what i wanted to do. During and after to shoot i came in contact with 2 guys, and one asked me if i was ok (because of the blood all over me) haha but yeah i liked the way this turned out.
One of the more highly processed, unnatural florals I have created in a while. I worked through many visits to Nik Viveza to lighten the background. Making it somewhat uniform was very tricky with the underexposure, shadowy areas, and vignetting. Eventually, enough was enough.
Update. Apparently enough isn't enough. I saw some things I didn't like about the image once posted so made a few more adjustments and reposted.
Perhaps in an alternate universe, the weather is much more tolerable, the appropriate temperature for the season.
"Fear is a wonderful thing, in small doses. You ride the ghost train into the darkness, knowing that eventually the doors will open and you will step out into the daylight once again. It’s always reassuring to know that you’re still here, still safe. That nothing strange has happened, not really. It’s good to be a child again, for a little while, and to fear — not governments, not regulations, not infidelities or accountants or distant wars, but ghosts and such things that don’t exist, and even if they do, can do nothing to hurt us.
And this time of year is best for a haunting, as even the most prosaic things cast the most disquieting shadows.
The things that haunt us can be tiny things: a Web page; a voicemail message; an article in a newspaper, perhaps, by an English writer, remembering Halloweens long gone and skeletal trees and winding lanes and darkness. An article containing fragments of ghost stories, and which, nonsensical although the idea has to be, nobody ever remembers reading but you, and which simply isn’t there the next time you go and look for it."
The lake, set in the narrow valley between tall peaks, has preserved virtually intact the natural environment previously classified "area of remarkable environmental interest" by the authorities of the Lombardy region, subsequently promoted to park and as such subject to protection. The lake banks alternate thick reeds - an ideal breeding area for the wide variety of fish and a bird haven.
I went back to this site to reshoot it, for several reasons. For one, the original had a light leak around the lensboard (garbage lensboard provided by Intrepid), which I wanted to fix. I also wanted to vary my process a little bit, so I shot this on Ilford HP5+ and processed it in Rodinal.
Now, I want to say this about how I used the Rodinal: I did a "stand" process of the neg, using Rodinal 1:100 dilution and allowing a slow process of an hour, with only one agitation cycle at the 30 minute mark (plus a 1 minute agitation at the start). I don't usually use the Stand Development process because it almost always introduces artifacts (uneven areas), but that is more an issue with roll film than sheet film, so I felt it was worth risking one sheet of film to try for this shot.
What did I get? Well, the negative is a bit less contrasty overall, with better shadow information and less blocking of the highlight areas. I knew that the reciprocity effect would increase contrast of this scene, as the bare wood (horizontal wedged in the roots) was considerably brighter than most other areas. I expected the stand process would help restrain the bright regions while allowing the shadows to develop more fully, and it seems this is what happened. As I say, I do NOT advocate for this approach to film processing in most circumstances (the mythology of the process is grossly exaggerated, IMO) but with sheet film, it sometimes has benefits. I wouldn't expect to develop a shot that had large expanses of a single value (blue sky?) because some unevenness would likely become apparent.
I've done this with HP5+ in the past and it seems this Ilford emulsion behaves very well in dilute Rodinal and minimal agitation.

this shot was taken last october in daytona. i toned the shot by using the burning and dodging tools to darken and lighten various pieces of the shot. a texture was applied to make the piece 'zesty-tang-acy'!!.

Knoxville is a city in the U.S. state of Tennessee, and the county seat of Knox County. The city had an estimated population of 186,239 in 2016 and a population of 178,874 as of the 2010 census, making it the state's third largest city after Nashville and Memphis. Knoxville is the principal city of the Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area, which, in 2016, was 868,546, up 0.9 percent, or 7,377 people, from to 2015. The KMSA is, in turn, the central component of the Knoxville-Sevierville-La Follette Combined Statistical Area, which, in 2013, had a population of 1,096,961.
First settled in 1786, Knoxville was the first capital of Tennessee. The city struggled with geographic isolation throughout the early 19th century. The arrival of the railroad in 1855 led to an economic boom. During the Civil War, the city was bitterly divided over the secession issue, and was occupied alternately by both Confederate and Union armies.Following the war, Knoxville grew rapidly as a major wholesaling and manufacturing center. The city's economy stagnated after the 1920s as the manufacturing sector collapsed, the downtown area declined and city leaders became entrenched in highly partisan political fights. Hosting the 1982 World's Fair helped reinvigorate the city, and revitalization initiatives by city leaders and private developers have had major successes in spurring growth in the city, especially the downtown area.
Knoxville is the home of the flagship campus of the University of Tennessee, whose sports teams, called the "Volunteers" or "Vols", are extremely popular in the surrounding area. Knoxville is also home to the headquarters of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Tennessee Supreme Court's courthouse for East Tennessee and the corporate headquarters of several national and regional companies. As one of the largest cities in the Appalachian region, Knoxville has positioned itself in recent years as a repository of Appalachian culture and is one of the gateways to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

I just realized that the main pic I posted is missing some parts. The two mini laser turrets towards the front, the ones made from minifig hands are supposed to extend further like they do in this pic, in order to align with the angled piece at the “neck” of the ship. Just thought it was an interesting thing to point out.
