Playing with the negative version of the photo I uploaded yesterday. ;-))

HSS everyone !!

Not knowing when the next wave is going to hit you, perhaps is your best chance to stay positive. The only way to survive is battling back even if you are feeling down.

Shooting with a GoPro Hero is a totally strange experience for me. Being an optical view finder guy, I have never gotten used to compose a shot with electronic view finders on my mobile phone, or even my Powershot S100. Now, imagine shooting in front of your subjects without using your hand, and instead, strapping and composing the camera with your head. You only get to see the results after pulling still frames out of a long video recording. This is weird and totally out of my comfort zone, but at the same time I feel this as another challenge to get something unique and fun.

we've all been there

Negative and then recoloured.

This negative is telling us to stay positive.

Here today sick and frail it was all i could do to not let him sail

away

in the wind

thin beyond thin

bone and fur was all he had been

for who knows how long

he came to me to survive

i tried

once i caught him for a hospital visit

but he bit me hard to the bone i feared

and my visit was for six shots all in the rear

so i fed him and kept him warm in winter

the best i could

now i fear he is gone

not come back for more

and so he is finally at home

with a hot meal and a good tale to tell

of life and hardship with a cat tale to sell

For Macro Mondays.

Thank you very much for all the comments and favorites ; )

Karst Spring is a roaring torrent that gushes out of a wall of rock - it was lovely to be there on a 30C day, lots of cool plants there too.

(we got back yesterday; sorry for not commenting all that much during our time at the seaside; I'll try to catch up!)

The Japanese concept of Ma has been described as “a pause in time”, an interval or emptiness in space. As a music teach once said "Leave space so the high notes can shine".

Ma is not the negative space we photographers utilize in our images, but an emptiness full of potential. It should be deliberate and of value, holding sustenance towards the entirety of the shot.

Western image making seems to suffer from "FTF" : Fill the Frame. where 'empty' zones are frowned upon.

B&M Worcester local WO-1 with GP-9 1`707 is headed north on the Worcester main casting a muted reflection with some empty concrete ties cars on the head pin. Most of the time the cars were loaded with wooden ties that had been removed from the 'Northeast Corridor' improvement project. The cars are headed back to San-Vel in Ayer to be loaded once again with more new concrete ties

GP-9 1707 seemed to be assigned to WO-1 for quite a while during the last years of the B&M. I have a lot of fond memories of being here at 'The Res' as my father called it. The tie extra and WO-1 made for a nice relaxing day trackside.

Because darkroom paper is orthochromatic, the colour response isn't what you might expect - the petals of this sunflower are actually yellow and the background should be black ...

Greenpoint boat graveyard near Bluff.

A short walk from the road leads you into this area where around 14 boats are resting. Very little remains of many of them, this pair are the most intact and a few odds and ends from the other boats appear at low tide.

Polaroid Week Autumn 2019

I've decided to raid my Dad's old negatives for Polaroid week this time and transfer them on to polaroid photos using the Impossible instantlab. These must have been taken around 1937 - 1940. I'm not too sure where this was taken.

My younger son assisted me here. He used my mobile phone flashlight to create the shadow around the branch on the table. :-)
