In times like these it is nice to browse through old(ish) pictures and indulge in good memories

Another image taken at Peter Coulsons'. portrait workshop at Studio 501 in Surrey Hills, but this time using some borrowed gear.

 

The small group of us in the workshop seemed to all get along well and had a range of different camera equipment between us, mostly Canon and Nikon. Peter Coulson was shooting with his Hasselblad medium format setup, tethered to his laptop and big monitor so we could all see straight away what was happening with the lighting and how he worked with it.

 

Luckily (for me anyway) there was one other participant shooting with a medium format camera, which he kindly offered to me to take a few frames on using one of my memory cards. At first I was a bit reluctant not sure if it might be a bit beyond me, but in the end my curiosity won and I gratefully accepted his offer.

 

So this is Alice, again, image taken using a Phase One IQ140 medium format camera with Schneider LS 80mm f2.8 lens. The guy who owned it, not a pro just a keen shooter, said he would likely sell it soon as he needed the 25k that was tied up in it. No need to say that I was very careful with it taking my shots!

 

Once back home I took a few days but finally worked out how to transfer the (different format 40MP!) files off the memory card and was completely blown away by the detail captured in the images. There is no hiding anything, the tiniest detail is visible, almost too sharp. I'm not sure you can see that here on Flickr but in full hi resolution the amount of detail is really amazing.

 

Whether it's worth the price of a nice car is probably debatable (at least by my wife!) so I think it will remain in the world of Alice and that wonderland for me.

 

I can see why all kinds of photographers, from landscape to fine art, would use this kind of equipment though and am so grateful to have had the opportunity to see how it works.

 

Maybe if the Lotto comes in ............ :-)

the beached hills of Bryce Canyon

I do a lot of such street shots, but in most cases i´m not happy with the outcome.

This is the first attempt to combine several aspects I like in a photo.

This definitly dilutes the single effect of the different aspects, but I think it makes a photo more interesting, if not everything is just straight foreward to see and you can discover a photo...

for a better way to do this see it large

Dawn points, and another day

Prepares for heat and silence. Out at sea the dawn wind

Wrinkles and slides. I am here

Or there, or elsewhere. In my beginning.

It is a rainy day. Make sure your camera and lens are weather sealed or that your lens have a gasket. After 3pm it gets darker in winter, I shoot before 3pm because after that I must use higher ISO especially with bird in flight because I need at least 1/800 sec. When the hills get green, I will start landscape photography. I don’t need new gear next year because I have 3 prime lenses for bird photography. I started photography with zoom lenses such as Tamron 70-200mm 2.8. It was a good lens and I got good pictures. My favorite lens for gull in flight is 300mm. this range is good for birds that are close distance.

 

“The world is exploding in emerald, sage, and lusty chartreuse - neon green with so much yellow in it. It is an explosive green that, if one could watch it moment by moment throughout the day, would grow in every dimension.” ~ Amy Seidl

Throughout 2018 I have been busy working on a new photographic project in Scotland using my miniature figurines (the 'Little People').

 

My main hope is that this new series of photographs will help highlight the plastic / litter epidemic our country (and planet) is suffering from. Littering in general has always sickened me, and the 'Blue Planet II effect' really made me feel like I too could help highlight the issue using my own unique approach.

 

Earlier this year, I spent several days collecting bags full of plastic and rubbish that had been discarded (or washed up) next to beaches and lochs on the west coast of Scotland, mostly 'beauty' spots. I kept some of this plastic to make my work (recycling the rest) and returned to the banks of Loch Lomond a couple of months ago to photograph my latest series - LIFE IN PLASTIC.

 

Thanks for looking.

She gave us love. We got her from a rescue shelter.

Her fur was so soft. She could be feisty, loved our garden and her many places in the house to curl up in, including our laps.

The Plaza de España ("Spain Square", in English) is a plaza located in the Parque de María Luisa (Maria Luisa Park), in Seville, Spain built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. It is a landmark example of the Regionalism Architecture, mixing elements of the Renaissance Revival and Moorish Revival (Neo-Mudéjar) styles in Spanish architecture.

I wanted to go back in my mind to Lisbon this week and revisit some of my photos from there before the pandemic started. What I ended up finding is that there were a few photos that seemed to tell a story of a turbulent relationship. At the same time, I recently watched the film The Worst Person in the World so the way relationships work or just don't work has been occupying my thoughts a lot lately.

 

I've had the good luck of finding my partner when I was just 18 and have that relationship last but I do have friends that don't really relate to the idea of wanting to be in a relationship and I think that's interesting too. Humans are kind of limited in the way they see things...you're either in a relationship or not/single. But, this also subconsciously presents the idea that you might want to be or even should be in a relationship and they clearly aren't for everyone.

 

I think the pandemic itself really put relationships to the test. Though my own grew stronger, I had a few colleagues and friends get divorced. In the American work obsessed culture, it is fairly easy as time goes by to become very career focused and start changing as a person. I think when two people do that, they might become a bit different than how they started out, especially after a number of years. There were all kinds of control issues people manifested too in sometimes dangerous ways. But, in addition, there were also couples who, when face to face all 24 hours didn't really recognize each other anymore.

 

In any case, this next week's series is about the arc of a new relationship and, it starts out with the want to be in one. The longing to share your ideas and experiences with someone can be quite a strong one and is what might cause you to consider the idea that you'd actually want to be with someone else.

It's bloomed out there.

I drift around, a cool wind is blowing

still, but the sun is strong enough,

to put color in my face.

A strong light and clarity lies over the gardens.

Nature is a gentle healer, so I am with her as often as I can.

The historic village of Clinton, established in 1808, is the site of the original seat of Jones County in Central Georgia. Clinton remained the seat until 1905, when the courthouse was moved to nearby Gray. In 1974, the Old Clinton Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its historical significance as an important center of trade and culture in antebellum Georgia that was worthy of preservation. The Register describes it as “one of the finest surviving examples of a relatively undisturbed early Georgia county seat.”

This young bull seemed to be in a hurry.

This is the entrance to a carpenter ant home in a stump in our back yard. I'm thinking that I should kill off the colony before it spreads to the house, but will have to study a little more. In the meantime, they seemed like good subjects!

Details from Hoang Anh's apartment.

 

My name is Hoang Anh, I’m 30 years old and I come from Hanoi, I’ve been living here in Saigon for three years now.

 

For me, luxury is something deeply personal, something that is highly shaped by one’s personality. It’s is actually quite a whole lot of things, things you can measure, like clothes, accessories, and things that are about emotions, time, interests and hobbies.

 

In a City, Ho Chi Minh, is the second book in a series of short stories about Vietnam, commissioned by the British Council. The first series was shot in Hanoi. 23/12/2010, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

NUCA, culminación del proyecto Geologías Antropológicas Monumento [In] material, de Miriam Isasi, un homenaje a las personas fusiladas a partir de diferentes himnos de la época y la transformación de metralla en un elemento para interpretar música, que tuvo lugar el 22 de septiembre en el Laboratorio 987 del MUSAC.

 

NUCA revisa e interpreta himnos de la época por un cuarteto de clarinetes y electrónica y tiene su origen en la transformación de metralla en un elemento para interpretar música, la llave 12 del clarinete. Se trata de la llave de registro del instrumento musical, un ítem que tiene su origen en la Alemania del siglo XIX, y es la responsable del primer clarinete tal como lo conocemos hoy, su función es cambiar el registro de armónicos del instrumento, de graves a agudos. Realizada en la fragua del Centro de los Oficios de León y adaptada por el lutier de viento Enrique Pernía. Ésta pieza es la encargada de poner en marcha la creación e interpretación de un himno para el proyecto.

 

Miriam Isasi ha contado con el músico y compositor Joan Espasa para versionar diferentes himnos de la época y crear una partitura sin letra para cuarteto de clarinetes y sintetizador. El concierto en León contará con el compositor de la partitura, Joan Espasa, que interpreta el clarinete bajo, el clarinetista Raúl Herrero -quien será el encargado de interpretar la obra con la llave 12 de clarinete conformada para la ocasión- los clarinetistas Laura Villa y Carlos Ruiz Ramos y la música electrónica de Genzo P.
