Testing out 'macro-focus' of my longer lens, I saw this view while scanning my calla lily pot, and instantly felt like I was intruding on a private communion.

Part of an ongoing experiment with image manipulation: The images are the result of a 2 stage process. First, a photo is taken of a moving subject. What results is a blurred image, the distortion magnified by the grain and contrast achieved by overdevelopment of the film in the darkroom. Already the face or body has been transformed by the simple act of movement. Then in the second stage, the photo is printed. Sometimes thick glossy varnish is applied across the whole surface of the image, or alternatively, the photo is simply printed onto glossy paper. This is when more magic happens. Shining light directly onto the surface of the paper, the image is transformed again. This time the transforming agent is light. The surface of the photograph interacts with what is contained within the image. A final photo is taken.
Inspired by the movie Suckerpunch.
My model Sarah-Jane is shot against a neutral grey background and composited into the scene.
All backgrounds are themselves composites of various elements to create a 'hopefully' dramatic theatrical quality.

A slight departure for me as I have always used my own models as the main subject. I have found, and used, a couple of stock images with different lighting just to see how my post processing and compositing looks on other types of images.
I have also, for the first time, tried using Nik Software's 'Color Efex Pro 4' to process the images.
The background is one of my Daz 3D renders used previously on the 'Night falls on the street' image.
Thanks to DeviantArt:
This guy has made an awful lot of his work available as stock. Check it out :)
made from my favorite dead rubbertree leaf.
I re-visited the leaf after plunging into playing for MC#08, the !MasterClass! topic, the Small World of Macro Florals.
The !tutor! suggested how this leaf would throw intriquing shadows..
Here, you see both shadows And reflections in the glossy photo paper ground the leaf sits on.
A moody one incorporating a beach shot I did a short while ago.

The Goldcrest being chased away by the resident Robin! Unfortunately, I missed a proper capture as the camera was left on a watercolour effect setting!
When the Empire finally reached planet Earth, the rebellion was already here. Ready and waiting. Thanks for the heads up, Jano.

Thanks to kren for the inspiration.
Original was a Holga shot, the colors were off and it was really overcast, so I thought it needed a make-over. Not much huh? ;)

I take these little strolls to the mailbox.. and I often can't do so without bringing back more than the mail. Consider these 'postcards", forwarded to you.
The Bills? Credit offers? Appointment reminders? I'll take care of those... those you can just leave.

A little nod towards the Steampunk genre influenced by watching a film recently called Iron Sky with WW2 era Nazis living on the moon.
Still, gives me a chance to indulge in some guns and rubber again ;)
The background was shot last week in the plant room of a large hotel. Never thought it would come in handy!
Der Ponte Vecchio (ital. für Alte Brücke) ist die älteste Brücke über den Arno in der italienischen Stadt Florenz. Das Bauwerk gilt als eine der ältesten Segmentbogenbrücken der Welt.
Schon zu etruskischer Zeit existierte hier ein Flussübergang. Nachdem 1333 ein Hochwasser eine an derselben Stelle stehende Holzbrücke zerstört hatte, wurde in zwölfjähriger Bauzeit die heutige Brücke aus Stein errichtet. (Wikipedia)
Highly recommended : View On Black
Yeah... a kiss... if it's not just right then I lose interest...
(Yikes, I am 2 weeks behind on this project and the year is coming to an end! Not because of lack of ideas, but lack of time... I must speed up!)
If intensity has anything to do with it, this prayer is going to be answered.
This is based on a photo which I downloaded from from Stockvault under a license that specifies I cannot transfer the license or use the image in a commercial project.
Fotografiert im Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart
Mercedes-Benz W 198 ist die interne Typbezeichnung eines Sportwagens von Mercedes-Benz. Unter der Verkaufsbezeichnung Mercedes 300 SL wurde er in den Jahren 1954 bis 1957 als Coupé mit Flügeltüren und in den Jahren 1957 bis 1963 als Roadster angeboten.
Die Zahl 300 steht in der Verkaufsbezeichnung für ein Zehntel des Hubraums in Kubikzentimeter gemessen, die Zusatzbezeichnung SL soll die Kurzform für „Sport Leicht“ sein, andere Quellen geben „Super Leicht“ als Langform an.
Mercedes-Benz präsentierte den 300 SL im Februar 1954 auf der International Motor Sports Show in New York. 1999 wurde das Fahrzeug von Lesern der deutschen Oldtimer-Zeitschrift Motor Klassik zum „Sportwagen des Jahrhunderts“ gewählt.

I've always loved the movie Sin City, so I've I've used the visual style as inspiration and added a little more colour.

I INSIST on viewing this LARGE ON BLACK. If not, you will never see the hmmmr on the right ;-)
Introducing: Dickson St on Fayetteville. The Most Happening Place in Northwest Arkansas :-) and I am sure my local friends and friends who have been here will agree. One of my favorite haunts, when I am in town, that is. It is a small mile long stretch that can be quiet and idyllic on a snowy day like this, or full of fun and cheer during events like the Bike, Blues and BBQ, when 36000 bikers from all over US occupy this mile long stretch. Pride of Fayetteville, I should say :-)
This shot was taken on the same day I took "The Red Bridge", one of our favorites from me.
Have a great Wednesday! Weekend is almost there :-)
