This is a lot like my original Modern Magic post, in a sense that it was not edited. This was something that I built using Pick-A-Brick parts. Enjoy!
C&C is appreciated.
Great Blue Heron's are known as being realy good at fishing and this one is checking out the rigging on the boat at French Creek B.C.
shot during open monument weekend of 2004 (theme was modern architecture), Peter Pan school in St Gillis by Leon Stynen (architect of several well know buildings in Antwerp like The Singel, Crest/Holiday Inn hotel), afaik the only (?) Stynen building in Brussels. the (60s ?) building needs a little freshening up but the whites, articulate concrete and pure lines prove that modernism shouldn't be oppressive or anonymous.
Oslo......... die Stadt ist vielseitig, vielschichtig, modern aber auch alt.
Kunst, Kultur und Geschichte auf unterschiedliche Weise treffen hier zusammen. Es gibt dicht und modern bebaute Gebiete, aber auch reichlich Natur.
Ich werde in loser Folge immer wieder einmal EindrĆ¼cke von Oslo zeigen.......ohne Reihenfolge oder einem bestimmten System folgend.

If it's too busy at Mikes, you can wander across the street and get a great pastry at Modern Pastry. When we visited Boston years back, the owners of Mike's had gone on vacation and the shop was closed. We enjoyed a cannoli from Modern. Not having had a chance to sample Mike's we have no way of knowing if we got the best cannoli in Boston or not.
Charlie's "ride on the cogs", trying to keep up with digitalisation...
Macro Mondays #Cogwheel
In a steampunk future computers would run like vintage clockworks - with cogwheels. Why steampunk? I did not want to capture the clockwork of my old pocketwatch, the can-opener's cogwheel was just ugly, ugly, ugly, and I couldn't find any other interesting looking "real" cogwheels at home. So I bought a small pouch (sold by weight) of small metal deco cogwheels meant for steampunk costumes and stuff. This time I decided to stick to my very first idea and try to make it work: a macro world rendition of Charle Chaplin's "Modern Times" with a connection to our digital world today. Which is why the, admittedly rather busy, background is an old, broken mainboard (the backside of it). Since I didn't have one lying around at home I walked into a small computer shop around the corner who are mostly doing repair work and asked if they had an old mainboard or other throwaway circuit board, and they had ;-) It seems that my steampunk machine / computer consists entirely of inoperable parts. Broken mainboard, un-functional cogwheels... So while it has less states than a modern computer ("0" only), it probably has way more states than a future quantum computer will have, because these inoperable parts can be anything I want them to be in a future macro world, depending on the theme...
Processed in Luminar and ON1. The upper cogwheel is handheld which explains the motion blur (which I rather like). This had to be monochrome, of course, because "Modern Times" is a black and white movie. Though I toyed with the idea to leave a little colour there at first, because I have seen Modern Times film posters with some colour in them, but in the end decided against it, because it would have been too much with all that is going on here. I added "that frame again" in Nik's Analog Efex as a finishing touch.
I wish you a Happy Macro Monday, and a relaxed week ahead, dear Flickr friends!
Charlies "Ritt auf dem Zahnrad", die Digitalisierung sitzt ihm schon im Nacken...
In einer "Steampunk"-Zukunft wĆ¼rden Computer vermutlich von ZahnrƤdern angetrieben... Da ich nicht das Uhrwerk meiner alten Taschenuhr fotografieren wollte und der Dosenƶffner einfach nur hƤsslich aussieht und ich auĆerdem feststellen musste, dass "richtige" ZahnrƤder auch richtig teuer sein kƶnnen, habe ich einfach ein kleines TĆ¼tchen voll mit Deko-Metall-Teilen gekauft, die wohl fĆ¼r SteampunkkostĆ¼me gedacht sind. Ich habe hier mal versucht, bei meiner allerersten Idee zu bleiben und sie halbwegs ansprechend umzusetzen: die berĆ¼hmte Szene aus Modern Times, in der Charlie / der Tramp von der riesigen Maschine verschluckt wird und sich durch die ZahnrƤder kƤmpft. Da ich auch einen Bezug zur heutigen Zeit haben wollte, habe ich als Hintergrund ein altes, kaputtes Mainboard verwendet, das ich bei einer auf Reparaturen spezialisierten Computerklitsche abstauben konnte.
Das obere Zahnrad habe ich einfach Ć¼ber die Figur gehalten, mir gefiel die BewegungsunschƤrfe, und im Original ist der Tramp ja auch zwischen den ZahnrƤdern gefangen. SW war hier natĆ¼rlich gewissermaĆen Pflicht, da auch der Film in SW ist; allerdings hatte ich zunƤchst versucht, ein wenig Farbe im Bild zu lassen, weil es entsprechende Filmplakate gibt, mich dann aber dagegen entschieden, weil es hier sowieso schon so viel zu sehen gibt, da wƤre Farbe zu viel gewesen, denke ich. Entwickelt in Luminar und ON1 und als Abschluss musste mal wieder mein Lieblingsrahmen aus Analog Efex herhalten.
Ich wĆ¼nsche Euch eine schƶne SpƤtsommerwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!
Architecture ā Modern
This is a fifth series of buildings (some as photographed), glass panels, abstract shapes formed from buildings. Most are in London, although they could be any city. I have not named any building, nor have attempted to find Architects or Designers. I have just altered things to my own taste, nothing is sacrosanct, nothing lasts for ever, new ideas quickly become old as will these images be the moment I post them. Please enjoy.
Modern building, Exchange Tower, tucked away down Canning Street. Taken using the mini-tripod, hence the very low angle view here!
