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.

An old shot for SlidersSunday, because I am being lazy today... :)

Thanks to Alexis for the bodyguard gig:)

This negative is telling us to stay positive.

for Crazy Tuesday

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

Crazy Tuesday theme Negative Space

Not for Crazy Tuesday 😬

But Happy Crazy Tuesday anyway! 😄

For Macro Mondays.

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

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.

I could have easily removed that vignette, but when I did the entire 'atmosphere' of this scene suffered...

Tropical storm Typeo brought it.... a new perspective on an old craft. I thank you my friend!

I recently posted a photo of my Minolta SR-7 with the Minolta Auto Bellows I kit fitted to it: flic.kr/p/2sjApVs

I thought it would be interesting to attach this to my Sony A7M3 and try out the negative and slide copier as well as the macro specimen attachment.

Here's Candor, thoroughly enjoying the fresh north sea air and finding nothing negative about the space to his left ;)

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

The negative version of this photo was just a lot more fun. The creative owner of this property loved decorating it in bottles.

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 ...

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