Hope you're not sick of seeing these poppies but I can't get enough of them. I have almost two hundred unprocessed shots of this bunch of poppies. Just love their wrinkly crinkly petals.
There are a lot of unopened buds and this morning they just didn't look like they were going to open so I took a punt and put them outside in the sun and within an hour unopened buds were cracking open, ones that were slightly opened were now shedding their shells and they keep opening up...amazing what a little sunshine can do.
To see them bloom from bud to flower, pop over to my BLOG.
We had a 200km limit on our car hire for the day so we drove 50km along the coast to the west of Alta first and then planned to go 50km to the NE of Alta in the afternoon. There were no other roads so a round trip was out of the question. 50km west took us to a little peninsula with a few houses called Toften. It was, like all the settlements along the coast, a fishing community. We stopped and sat by the water for a while. This was the most peaceful place I have ever been. the only sounds were natural and mainly just wading birds and gentle lapping of the water. Very gentle lapping actually as there was barely a ripple to be seen. We could have been the only humans on the planet.
Day 56 with social isolation. Nature is terrible but also beautiful to our eyes. The sun, the clouds, the ocean and the storms gave us this sight...

Forget the people and the place they went
Ignore the logical sequence
Welcome to the land of sense
Like the cloth from a table
The world pulled away
Can't see in front of my own face
I looked at the sun
I had to have something
(please view it large, it looks terrible at this size)
A very comfortable chair hiding in what can only be described as a very dangerous building. I don't think it will be around much longer. Photo of a corridor collapse to follow soon.

The task is to explore the house, inside and out, finding new ways of looking at the familiar things that surround me every day, and literally shedding new light on them - hopefully producing a worthwhile photograph.
Might not be one every day, but we'll see.

“That's the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end.”
One more from yesterdays shoot.This one shot at Newport Pool, up close and personal.
Very different style from my usual work, but this shot really lent itself well to a full B&W treatment followed by a switch of blending mode to really isolate the pool.
then went for a bit of a wobbly vignette, just seem to work well.
Might have to sell my wide angle lens, my last 5 or 6 posts have all been shot with the 70-200.
loving it.
Cheers.
Subject Isolation Practice: Outfit inspired flash practice session. Using a single softbox for general lighting, a snoot for face highlighting, and then a blue gel on a reflector with barnbox for hair lighting.
Virginia Alone is an amazing installation by Bryn Oh...it was conceived from hours between the artist and, the inspiration, Virginia. Virginia is an 80 year old woman who has lost her sight and has lived alone in her schizophrenia for many years.
I chose to shoot at this location because, for me, the birds are an integral part of the installation and the thought "Virginia didn't fly like the other birds..." kept repeating in my mind. The juxtaposition of the happy blue birds in flight against Virginia's isolation and free fall into her own world just struck me as so poignant.
In this "Isolation" capture...there was a bird on a branch outside the window of her house...and I was drawn to the feeling of isolation and how that mirrored Virginia's life.

The Virginia Alone pics have minimal manipulation. Prior to the captures I used Animare to pose my avatar and post capture I used Picmonkey to clone, remove wrinkles and air brush the artifact lines and blemishes. I did not change the windlight from the one set by the artist for the installation.
The Isolation pic was manipulated in Picmonkey for wrinkles, airbrushing and cloning the artifact lines. I switched the pre-set installation windlight for another Bryn Oh windlight "BLUNIVERSE".
