Pyrrhocoris apterus
Petit insecte commun (9 mm ici) aux nombreux noms vernaculaires (pompiers, diable, suisse, soldat...) en raison de sa couleur.
A common little insect (9 mm here) with many vernacular names in France (fireman, devil, swiss, soldier...) because of its color.
Pyrrhocoris apterus - Gendarme ou Pyrrhocore - The Firebug - FRANCE - Occitanie
Curée sur les restes d'une cétoine
Le nom gendarme vient du fait que les couleurs et motifs rappellent les habits rouge et noir des gendarmes à partir de la fin du xviie siècle. C'est pour les mêmes raisons que le pyrrhocore est également appelé Soldat ou Suisse
L'accouplement a lieu principalement au début du printemps et dure fréquemment entre 12 heures et 7 jours, ce qui est probablement un moyen pour les mâles d'empêcher la compétition avec d'autres mâles.

I made the basic 3d in Open Blocks, the new open source version of the Blocks VR 3d modeling application Blocks from Google, then used Nevercenter Silo and Milo for basic lighting and camera, then Vizcom for the render, finished in Photoshop.
The firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus, is a common insect of the family Pyrrhocoridae. Easily recognizable due to its striking red and black colouration, it is distributed throughout the Palaearctic from the Atlantic coast of Europe to northwest China. It has also been reported from the USA, Central America and India. It has been reported as recently expanding its distribution northwards into mainland UK. They are frequently observed to form aggregations, especially as immature forms, with from tens to perhaps a hundred individuals.(wiki)

During this section of the course, I've really begun to read and research photographers whose images have inspired me. I came across the work of Rut Blees Luxemburg in the inspirational first chapter of Charlotte Cotton's book and spent some time researching further. Cotton says of Luxemburg's work:
[...]when the urban night scene is illuminated in a dramatic way, the surreal and psychologically charged potential of space is emphasised. But each epoch has its own artistic concerns and particular narrative conclusions. With their uncanny qualities, Luxemburg's pictures take something of the history of night time photography, but imbues it with the contemporary and personal experience of the city.
This led me to begin researching this 'history' and I was drawn to the work of several other artists who have informed some of the pictures that I've submitted here. The picture that I've chosen for 'diagonals' references Luxemburg's work, but I hope is subtly different. She uses a 5x4 camera and long exposures, ensuring that everything in the frame is in focus. I love her work but find the images a little 'clean'. I wanted a narrow depth of field that would keep the reflected sign in focus, but loose some definition in the puddle and road surface. I shot hand held with a fixed lens Fuji, metering for the brightest part but exposing -2 stops darker to make the feel more claustrophobic.
Compositionally, the eye is first drawn to the bright letters of the reflection, but the strong diagonal leads our eye across the rest of the image. As discussed during the exercise on diagonals, they tend to be straight lines that are diagonal due to perspective.
These night time reflections are also explored in the wonderful ‘Retail’ by Tim Davis. Fantastically crafted night time shots of urban America with corporate, neon signs reflected in the windows of houses.

I captured only the trunk but the whole tree was almost red. Only one tree among so many other!?! I see such a thing for the first time!

El primer insecto que he podido sacar este año. Y es que, entre que no para de llover un solo día, y el frío, se ha juntado el que casi no he tenido días para salir a hacer fotos, y que los insectos brillan por su ausencia.
