Fort Macon at sunset, on a Raleigh, NC Flickr Group meetup trip to the nearby NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores.

I couldn't help but be reminded of the 'drumbeats of war' we've been hearing for the past few years, and find an image with a hint of horror in it.

Photoshop was used to hold color and detail in this image with an originally wide brightness range. The zooming was done 'in camera'.

Ferrara, 11 Maggio 2008

Chris and Yann of the Bonneville Barons.

 

Chris and Yann are shot against neutral grey paper. The diner background is a Daz 3D creation with 50's car models added. The file is rendered out as a transparent 24bit PNG file so the blank sky area can have a new image dropped in with no cutting out or masking needed.

 

It's all composited in Photoshop, layered and blended, with use of photo filters to give everything an overall balanced colour cast to help everything sit together.

 

A full version of the pic is here:

Sorry, forgot the before and after - here it is.

 

More wizard action. Our heroine poses for a movie poster moment. Not so much Hogwarts, more like Hogwash :)

 

You know, now I look at his finished comp, I'm sure I could have shoe-horned more into this composition. It is certainly the most 'movie poster' of the comps I've ever done. Well, I had a blast nailing it together anyhow :)

Sarah-Jane is shot against neutral grey to help the compositing process. The background was rendered out of Daz Studio as a transparent PNG - really helpful when dropping a sky in behind it. The car is not quite to scale, I wanted it a bit more dominant.

 

Lot and lots of photoshopping later... here we are :)

 

An italian beach during the very very last summer time.

This is the hotel at Mohegan Sun, the native American resort and casino in Uncasville, Connecticut. I was surprised to see the the blue tint of the window turn the reflection from late October to early September.

My commission for Zharmae Publishing Press 2011. This will be the wrap-around cover for the sci-fi novel 'CATERPILLAR' by William Tedford. Available at all major book retailers some time next year. I have permission to post this at my profiles.

 

Story:

  

The girl is young, perhaps 16. Her simple summer dress is torn and muddy, her bare feet covered in earth, knees skinned, voluminous blond hair tangled, and other signs of having run and being in distress. With curiousity she is holding cradled in her upraised hands an irregular oblong object, a ‘meteorite’ if you will, as she stands in the smoking crater it created. A crack along the edge of the object (perhaps somewhat oyster-like in configuration) gleams a brilliant acid green, while above her in the dark night over the prairie and into the distance dozens of green streaks of light lance across the sky, more of the same objects bound for earth.

 

Genre: Sci-Fi (Very Dark, borders on Horror)

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever.

 

Horace Mann [1796-1859]

 

This image was created/enhanced/interpeted for a challenge created for the Raleigh Flickr meetup group, RSG,

( flickr.com/groups/raleighsocial/discuss/72157594513369898/ )

by member, aperitive. We were given on of Will's favorite poetic passages, the Mann quote, to base the inspiration.

My own thoughts, overlaid as they emerge from this image:

Remembering those minutes, we carry their dust with us in our irrational headlong rush, even as we bemoan their loss...

I used Photoshop to create a dreamlike colour palette.

A little tableaux of the boys doing their thing. A few separate components were used for the final effect including the DeviantArt background.

What if dogs (male, that is) were in charge of the Public Works Dept.? This just might be one outcome.

 

An oldie pic, from four and a half years ago. Gary Larson-inspired, I suppose.

Three photo-seconds of one of the neighborhood Great Blue Heron in its walk on a Longview Lake diving board

... featuring the particularly dino-lankiness of these magnificent impressive birds.

I hardly ever take the time to make a very extensive work with numerous resources, but I had to create at least one. I just let my imagination run wild and this is the result.

It does have a meaning though...

 

It's for all those people out there who struggle with problems and go through difficult times.

I hope this work will cheer you up, even if it's for a second.

Persistent changes in the jet stream, perhaps related to faster warming in the arctic than the tropics, are producing strange weather patterns on the shores of the North Atlantic. Here my neighbor clears out his driveway this morning after last night's 13 inches of heavy wet snow, driven by gale-forced winds that have packed the snow against the tree trunks like so much wet cement. Since December the northeast US has had a snow storm like this once or twice a week, with the next one predicted for six days hence. The first one was kind of romantic, as first snows always are, but now its getting tiresome.

Wot we did during our Martian Summer Hols. One- Invaded Earth...

 

The basic costume behind this photoset comes from H.G Wells and his seminal alien invasion novel, The War Of The Worlds. The theme of one of the Australian Costumers Guild London Lowlifes' Feast (1997, Melbourne) was Victorian era gear, and, as always, I was keen to interpret it in some kind of science fiction or fantasy fashion.

 

Cue turn of the century ID4!

 

Always liked the original Martian Fighting Machine tripods that Wells created for the story, although am also rather fond of the manta-ray hulled, cobra-necked creations from the 1952 Byron Haskin/George Pal movie too.

 

Anyway, sticking with the period concept, it was just a matter of interpreting the M.F.Ms in cardboard, as well as throwing in a bit of a retro-steampunk angle to reflect the fact that this was a a late 20th century take on an essentially 19th century idea. Which informed the boxy, riveted boiler plate look that the final costumes had.

 

With that in mind Ken Haesler and I tooled the things up fairly quickly out of cardboard boxe, assorted found objects, plastic and agricultural tubing for the tentacles.

 

The head, torso and hip sections all had independent motion so we could twist and turn, kind of important for the obligatory silly dance that we did on the night.

 

One way or another, I always end up doing a turn on the dance floor in whatever monsterous creation I happen to be wearing at the event. Sometimes this is more practical than others....with only my dancing partners knowing how much of an understatement that is!

 

The 'third leg' of the tripods (the middle stump!) was operated by a pivoted pole, a little bit like running a hand pump actually.

  

Armament was restricted to our toy gatling guns, which made a lovely racket as well as lighting up nicely. We also had some pre-scored panels that could take 'hits' and could be blown off using streamer loaded party poppers.

 

Please proceed to picture 2

A first for me..Samsung-Android-iOS digital mixed media photography art. Image from a magazine (may be a little grainy), taken and App'd by my Samsung Galaxy S3, blended with a scrapbooking paper image taken by my Olympus E-PM1. Should really call this Olympus-Samsung-Android-iOS perhaps?!

 

Anyway, blended image was then transferred to my iPad for tweaking in Iris Photo Suite (wish the developer would port Iris to Android!). Then transferred back to the Galaxy for sharing (wish the iPhone supported as many sharing links!).

Image Manipulation:

Another capture of the Snowy Owl that I uploaded a few days ago. This one I decided to do some image manipulation with. Beautiful Owl, fun to be around getting some photos! : )

 

If you go down in the woods today you're sure of a big surprise

If you go down in the woods today you'd better go in disguise...

...If you go down in the woods today you better not go alone

It's lovely down in the woods today but safer to stay at home.

 

--Henry Hall's orchestra performed "The Teddy Bears' Picnic" in 1932. The song consists of a melody by U.S. American composer John Walter Bratton, written in 1907, and lyrics added by Irish songwriter Jimmy Kennedy in 1932. It remains popular as a children's song, having been recorded by numerous artists over the decades since it was popularized by Henry Hall. (ref: Wikipedia)

The hand of Gid! As there is not a lot of room on my bureau I prop my keyboard up so that I can use my Wacom tablet and still reach the keys for quick shortcuts.

... everyone else is.

Jenn, and Matthew, two of the models/subjects at the weekly Friday night "Sketch and Shoot" at 305 South, in Durham, NC. The theme was Film Noir, but I couldn't help but keep the color on Jenn.

 

It's Saturday night, and I'm in the mood for ...

let's see, Bird & Diz? Lester? Maybe some Monk ... or Horace Silver ...

Decisions, decisions.

This is a night shot of the headlight of a Honda motorcycle, taken in the dark, handheld. Of course without a tripod it was too blurred to do justice with the reflected light and colors, so I used Photoshop to bring out the patterns here as an abstract, painterly view. It's best viewed in the original size for the details.

I have two calla blossoms open. Below is one that was still upright, and photographed against the fading daylight, as if drawn to it.

This one, however, is one that fell to the horizontal position and was JUST right for catching against the last rays.

125/365. One of the stranger decorations on our Christmas tree...

 

Looks much better if you hit "L" on your keyboard
