This week's theme of the Smile on Saturday group is "Copy-Collage", a collage created by using several versions of one photo. I had a lot of fun doing this, much more than I thought I would. :) HSoS !

Hey, do it now

Hey, once I was a boogie singer

Playin' in a rock-and-roll band

I never had no problems

Burnin' down the one-night stands

And everything around me

Got to start to feelin' so low

And I decided quickly

Yes, I did

To disco down and check out the show

Yeah they were dancin' and singin'

And movin' to the groovin'

And just when it hit me

Somebody turned around and shouted

"Play that funky music, white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music, white boy

Lay down that boogie

And play that funky music 'til you die."

'Til you die?

I tried to understand this

I thought that they were out of their minds

How could I be so foolish

To not see I was the one behind

So still I kept on fighting

Well, losing every step by the way

... we can do

I said, I must go back there

I got to go back

And check to see if things still the same

When they were dancin' and singin'

And movin' to the groovin'

And just when it hit me

Somebody turned around and shouted

"Play that funky music, white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music, white boy

Lay down that boogie

And play that funky music 'til you die."

'Til you die?

Oh, 'til you die

Gonna play some electrified funky music

Hey, wait a minute

Now first it wasn't easy

Changing rock-and-rolling minds

And things were gettin' shaky

I thought I'd have to leave it behind

Oh, but now it's so much better (it's so much better)

I'm funking out in every way

But I'll never lose that feelin' (you know, I won't)

Of how I learned my lesson that day

When they were dancin' and singin'

And movin' to the groovin'

And just when it hit me

Somebody turned around and shouted

"Play that funky music, white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music, white boy

Lay down that boogie

And play that funky music 'til you die."

'Til you die?

Oh, 'til you die

They shouted

"Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

You got to keep on playin' funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Gonna take you high and low."

"Play that funky music, white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music, white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music, white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music, white boy

Play that funky music right.

I often take my camera with me into public washrooms - you never know what you might see. Here, I only had my long lens with me, but I liked the repetition of the faucets and soap dispensers, and I was able to stand back far enough to capture them. Luckily, I was in there alone :)

Technical details are in the tags.

HSS!

Pretty in pink.

Didn't have any real idea what to call this. So I went for the first nonsense that came into my head.

These cloud formations appeared to come from a breaking larger cloud I think, no idea if there’s a name for these structures

I really like shooting mushrooms against nice backlight

Reference to the hit single by Jasper Carrott, in the '70s.

(Although most people bought the single for the B side!)

This photo was taken with a big (glas) bowl filled with water. The bowl was illuminated from different sides with light (each light source had a different color)

Depending on the strength of each waterdrop, waves with different heights are caused. Depending on the height, different light colors are reflected in the water.

Here is the result. What you need?

Ingredients:

- e.g. Canon EOS 70D

- e.g. Canon EF 100mm

- e.g. 2x Yongnuo YN560-III Flash

- Several light sources

- Transparent color masks

- A big bowl with water

- 1 Pipet

My purple-edged Italian Renaissance ranunculi.

They are the funky cool cats of the garden. Rapping in my garden to the vibe of Tone Loc. Zoom in to see all the funky macro details, lol.

And so here's 'Funky Cold Medina'. Check out the hilarious retro video from 1989:
