I bought a scale model Cutter ship on an online auction. I told my wife I had a Photoshop idea for it. First setting up the ship in our driveway with the setting sun going through its sails. The photo editing took way more time than I thought it would take. I still have a port side composition to do at another time and another image place from Lake Michigan.
Cutter Ship (model) added in.
Photo of sunset on Lake Michigan in Leelanau County with South Manitou Island in the left background.
Trumpeter Swans added in. I have no photos of Seagulls in flight. Huh!.. Imagine that. lol

This is the twenty-ninth entry for my 52 weeks project here on Flickr.
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!

I was lucky to find an arched bridge similar to that in Monet's Garden, but sadly it's not waterlily flowering season
Now that the snowmen have all melted it's time to harvest the carrots. That is where they come from isn't it? Just think, if we didn't get these cold winters there would be no carrots to eat!!!!! LOL! :-D
The snow may have gone, but I'll probably post a few more shots of it for a while yet, which I took before it all thawed.
In the tropics we have about a couple of weeks of spring and then seem to head into full blown summer. Heat/humidity...ah so draining. But I still took time out to create this piece yesterday.
Compositionally Challenged Week 9 Shadows. The shadow makes it easier to see the details of the pebbles.
This is it. It's finished. Over. Ended. Concluded. Finalized. Completed. Mission accomplished. The last entry for my 52 weeks project here on Flickr.
I'm uploading this image with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I'm glad that it's over. No doubt about it. I know, all you 365ers out there will shake their heads in pity, but to me, a 52 weeks project was all I could muster and even that regularly stretched the limits of my spare time. As charged and ready I was in the beginning, as drained and empty I felt towards the end. I think I've simply grown tired of photographing myself.
But on the other hand, it was a highly educational journey. I've grown accustomed to my gear and to standard lighting techniques. I've sped up my workflow, learned a lot about how to use Photoshop and last, but not least, I realized what's important when standing in front of a camera. And the best thing about this project was definitely the overwhelming and unexpected response it caused. People kept telling me constantly how much they liked my work and how inspiring I am to them. Funny, since there are many of them I look up to myself. I would have never ever considered myself to be a source of inspiration for anyone. I just wanted to make people smile. A goal I hopefully achieved.
Some of you asked me what my plans are for 2012, hinting towards another 52 weeks project. I'm deeply sorry to disappoint you. But there will definitely not be another binding photo project like this in 2012. Will I keep creating pictures? Most certainly! Will I keep pushing myself to do it on a regular basis? I fear not. I actually will lie down my camera for a certain time for two reasons: First of all I want to gain back the feeling of wanting to pick it up, not having to. Secondly I will concentrate my creativity on another project, namely our local drama group. I've been given the opportunity to write, direct and act in our next stage play. Since I temporarily suspended the drama group due to my photo project in 2011, I want to get involved again and immerse myself into something completely different. This will take up most of the time of early 2012, ending around Easter. Enough time to regain a certain, photographic momentum I guess. After that, I want to get back into model photography, with the main focus on creative editing. I want to expand my horizon towards on-location photography and combining it with my gained knowledge. Yeah, that's pretty much my plan for the upcoming year. Plus all the expected unexpected stuff of course. And there will be one or another half-marathon to run, too.
Now that you fought your way through this lengthy text there's only one thing left for me to do. Thanking you all for your overwhelming, continuous support! It has been an incredible experience for me. A very special thanks goes out to Alper, Alana and Laura, who wrote me those lovely, flattering testimonies. I will stay faithful to this beloved Flickr community and stay in touch with all those of you I've come to know a little better. And watch out, I might sneak in another self-portrait from time to time. I just can't help it... :-)
Oh, and another thing. Due to popular request (from Alexander *g*) there will be a photo book with all my collected 52 weeks images, available shortly on blurb.com. The majority of the work is already done, so expect an announcement in the coming week.
In the meanwhile, I wish you all a Happy New Year 2012!
Cheers
Marco

This is the thirty-eighth entry for my 52 weeks project here on Flickr.
Oh boy, what a week. First of all: I hate this picture. Secondly: I didn't have much of a choice. This looked so much different in my head when I started to shoot on Thursday. I began to edit the images the same evening and it just didn't turn out the way I wanted. So I ditched it. I wanted to try an alternate concept on Friday, but the battery of my radio trigger died. So I bought a spare battery today and started shooting again only to find out that the alternate concept didn't work either. Even worst than the first one. I played around, taking countless shots without any direction, but inspiration didn't hit me this time. Depressed I turned back to my first concept and tried to make the best of it. My special thanks goes out to the gentleman who borrowed me his awesome torso. I can give you his phone number if you like.
Just kidding. If you, like me, get tired of looking at this two-bit composition, take a look at this intead. I'm afraid he didn't need any Photoshop for that...

I went for a walk on a warm night to see the northern lights. The aurora were faintly visible to me on this cloudy night. I had taken some photos on my cellphone that brought out the colors of the lights. Not content with the results I added some creative touches.

I wanted to do an (artificial) underwater image for ages. So I watched me some tutorials and added a little humorous twist. I know that it's not perfect, but after editing for quite some time I reached a point where it just didn't get any better. So that's it for this week, folks. Enjoy!
See the lighting setup shot on my blog.
This time I won't even be alarmed if anyone decides to press "L" :-)

Como esquivando al tiempo y aferrándose a la nostalgia esta fachada nos deja ver la historia de la arquitectura de Capilla con todo su contenido melancólico.
El marrón supone la tierra y la sabiduría. Esta imagen me sugiere intelectualidad pura aunque se superponga con el deterioro lógico.

The forty-fourth entry for my 52 weeks project here on Flickr.
This is what happens when I head down to my studio without the slightest idea what to shoot for this week and therefore rummaging in a storage room in the search for suitable accessories. And look what I found! A Jerk-in-the-Box! :-D Just kidding. I found an old accordion that I put to a good use... I hope you like its new purpose.
What else is new? Well, my wife returned from her vacation in Egypt two days ago (thank God!!), the kids are back and we started renovating our old kitchen today by tearing apart the old one. The renovation will consume the next four weekends and will hopefully lead to a brand new kitchen on December 7th. And on a side note: I finished the main story and all except for one side mission of "Arkham City". What a spectacular game!!

I always have the most fun when I'm doing creative editing and it seems to be missing from my stream of late.
I'm researching a little editing skills in magazines etc. and calling on my husband for PS help! He is the expert!
I took the main shoe image of my husband and myself on the weekend. I worked on the texture by using couple of my own photos of raindrops on my winsdcreen at night taken last year lit only by my porch light and I added the lens flare in last.
I hope this has a spacey out there look!
PS Wrong date on the photo. I think I got confused when creating the layers and used my photo raindrop texture as the main layer so the picture has adopted that date. Still learning! :-)
The weekly Camera Craniums competition, demands 'water,' so that's what they'll get.
If I enter, that is, as I am rather busy at the moment, with not much time for photography. If I were to win, I'd have to get more involved than I have time for.

Hubby hung these beautiful butterflies on the ceiling above where I sleep, so when I wake up in the morning, they are dancing all over from the fan blowing in the room. They sparkle so wonderfully, but I was having trouble capturing the sparkle as I wanted, so I found this great burst of color effect to put behind them and added the bottle PIP for an extra special effect.
I love all these effects editors, but I get frustrated that they strip the original EXIF data, so I've been playing with EXIF editors and uploading later than I plan. ;-)
Bajo la luz suave y difusa de una siesta nublada y tormentosa de este significativo lunes 24 de marzo, Día de la Memoria en mi entrañable Argentina, mi lente capturó la esencia atemporal de una ochava mágica comprometida con lo intelectual, celebrando la magia de la mezcla de la fotografía y la arquitectura.
A estos espacios, que encuentro tan evocadores, los he bautizado como “Suspiros en el tiempo”. Esta denominación nace de la profunda melancolía que emanan, de la imponente presencia de su patrimonio arquitectónico y de su condición de testigos mudos de innumerables sucesos que han moldeado la historia de este rincón.
La edición creativa no busca disfrazar la realidad, sino sublimarla, resaltando la belleza intrínseca de esta esquina y potenciando su capacidad de generar emociones.

The forty-fifth entry for my 52 weeks project here on Flickr. Only seven more to go...
It has become quite late editing this one, that's why it's more like an "upload and run" today. Still not as perfect as I'd want it to be but I ran out of time and energy. And I think you get the point... err... the pun. :-)
