Went for a walk around St Kilda and did some experimental stuff. This is a self portrait. Post processed in Photoshop and Fractalius used.
This is SO much more what I'm looking for. I was able to paint it the way I really wanted it to look. [Of course, this is often the case - I paint many photos to get a look that the photo does not have.]
What I'm looking for in this case is that elusive quality of Wabi...and Suki
Wabi - simplicity, quietude, rustic beauty
Sabi - the patina of age, the concept that use can make an object more beautiful or valuable
Suki - beauty in accidental or unconventional form

After not doing any indoor photography for a long time, I thought I'd clean the tank, get the paints and put new batteries in the flash.
I really need to make a rig or find another pair of hands. I also need to read the instructions for my flash and figure out what's going on with the sync.
This was shot with the flash handheld above the tank and fired manually.

day 4
trial & error - first time attempting a layered emulsion lift & it did not go as I had envisioned. that's okay, though, now I know more than I did before.
The allure of cheap fuels has long been the drug of American railroads. In 2012-2013 CN experimented with LNG fueled locomotives. As has been the case with nearly every other class one railroad the infrastructure and paradigm shifts required to fully realize the cost savings available with LNG fuel were just too far out of reach for the debilitatingly conservative minds that rule the industry. Alas the once glamour girl 5261 has been returned to burn diesel and for the moment is making its home in Fond du Lac working lowly yard jobs and locals..
Now, this looks Christmassy!
Bridge was acting up, so after I fixed it I worked on this : )
With a bit of a reverse vignette in Raw, for a more ethereal look.
The Bank of China Tower is distorted. It will be better next time.
My second attempt is in here: www.flickr.com/photos/d-k-t/5308985251
When I just finished the shot for the top of Bank of China, the lens aperture got stuck. I couldn't got more shots for the top part, so the shot is distorted.
