This is the twenty-eighth entry for my 52 weeks project here on Flickr. It's probably the latest upload I've done for any week so far, but I didn't want to pass the opportunity to use the fabulous rain set of a friend of mine to shoot this week's picture.
Although there are some undeniably artificial elements, that were added in post processing, the rain is not. I was soaked to the skin! And it's the very first time I couldn't pull the trigger of my remote by myself because... well... even a Cactus V5 is not waterproof. So I set up the shot dry and handed the remote to my friend Ron. He turned on the water, waited until my clothes were nicely wet and began to shoot. Thanks a bunch, Ron! Without your help I wouldn't have been able to achieve this shot.
Camera info: ISO 100, 50 mm, f/7,1, 1/200 Sek.
Strobist info: One LumoPro LP120 zoomed to 80 mm at 1/2 power from back left and right for rim. One Yongnuo YN560 zoomed to 50 mm at 1/2 power shot into a Westcott collapsible umbrella from high front. All flashes were fired by Cactus V4 radio triggers. The camera was triggered by a Cactus V5.

The credit for this idea goes entirely to the incredible Christophe Huet. If you don't know him yet, be sure to check out his awesome work. He's a creative mastermind and my personal hero.
Since I ran a little dry on creativity lately I decided to do what always helps me to get my creative juices flowing: looking at other people's work. When I stumbled upon Christophe's amazing work, it immediately blew me away and I decided to take on the task to imitate some of his work. I know it's far from perfect and not of the quality of the original one, but I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome. The final composition consists of four different images. See an anatomy of this shot over at my blog.

I swear the bottles were all empty PRIOR to this shot! Although I wish it was all method acting...*g*
It's gotten really late editing this, so this is pretty much just "upload and run" today. I spent an hour shooting the single images and another solid 3 for the composing. Not much Photoshop magic except some ENDLESS extracting and creating artificial shadows. Enjoy!
This time I uploaded a little bit larger version. So press "L" to see the devolution of man in all it's glory...
Camera info: ISO 200, 25 mm, f/8,0, 1/200 Sek.

One Nissin Di866 at 1/2 power zoomed to 35 mm shot into a Westcott reflective umbrella from 90° low right (makes two umbrellas, one on top of the other). One flagged LumoPro LP120 at 1/4 power zoomed to 24 mm from back left for some rimlight. All flashes were fired by Cactus V4 radio triggers. Camera was fired by a Cactus V5.

Started playing with the Wombo Dream app and quickly got addicted. When I finalize an image in their app, I share it to my KVAD Photo Studio app to add frames and text, and I made this one for my Flickr friends.
Created this from one of my paintings. Then obviously added various textures, ink and simplify technique on some of the flowers.
A seasonal wildflower, locally known as amapola, whose original purple color I have transformed into shades of blue.
Through an artistic interpretation of color, light, and texture, I aim to reveal a different vision of nature, beyond its original appearance.
A personal exploration of Fine Art photography, where reality is the starting point and creativity shapes the final image.
Nature is my starting point, not my creative limit.
This is the thirty-fourth entry for my 52 weeks project here on Flickr.

....The original image of the sunset through the trees was from this evening. The raccoon was from a previous photo I took. I was bored and played around with it. haha

* Fotasy PK-EOSM lens adapter
What began as a photograph of a sculpture in Las Vegas evolved into something entirely different through masking, compositing, generative fill, cropping, and Lightroom editing. The result became a colorful guardian of joy standing somewhere between reality and imagination.

The spontaneous idea for this picture is one of many good things that come out when you open an ice cold bottle of beer. So I grabbed some silverware and a few tools (not to forget the beer of course) and I rushed down to my cave (aka my small photo studio in our basement). The setup is really quite simple. Just taped the silverware/tools to my fingers. Needless to say it looked like a (very) cheap version of Freddy Krueger. Or Edward Scissorhands. Or Silverwarehands, that is. Have you noticed how I cleverly avoided product placement? That was pure coincidence. The greatest task was to get the shot done before the beer gets too warm to drink. *g* If you are interested I'll post another "anatomy" entry on my blog in the next view days. Enjoy! :-)

The fiftieth entry for my 52 weeks project here on Flickr. Whoa, only two images left!
As I told you before the last images of this project have already been planned out in my head. Also I promised to put a little bit more effort in creating the finalists. So this one took me about one hour of shooting and about 3 hours of editing. Mostly extracting and shadow casting. As close to perfection as I could get in the available amount of time. Hope you enjoy it!
I can't even begin to imagine that this project is almost over. Seems like yesterday when I took the very first one...

This vibrant digital artwork reimagines the intricate patterns and textures of a green python through the lens of modern photo manipulation techniques. Layered with multiple editing programs, this piece transforms a natural subject into an abstract world of color, depth, and texture, inviting viewers to explore the hidden artistry within nature. The intricate details and interplay of greens give a mesmerizing look at the beauty of this creature in a new digital form.
This is the twenty-seventh entry for my 52 weeks project here on Flickr.
Meh. Heading down to my studio without the slightest inspiration. Simply one of those days. Grabbed me this lovely couple on my way down (thanks, Lucy!). Do you know how hard it is to adjust those dolls accurately? They keep tumbling over. EVER. So playing with dolls was the hardest part about doing this shot. Stellar achievement. *sighs* Do you like my new haircut?
By the way, the print raffle is officially closed. I will contact the winners in the next couple of days. Thanks to all participants!
