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.
It's actually the back of the Carron Valley dam wall. But in my alternative thinking I saw it as a black and white film strip. Artistic or weird?
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.

the strangest thing about a hole is the edge.
If a hole is plugged, where is it?
And: and why are there no half holes ??
Tropical storm Typeo brought it.... a new perspective on an old craft. I thank you my friend!

Another in my (unintended) series of storm damaged tree photos. This big guy has lost half his limbs, and now stands rather awkwardly, perhaps fearful of the next great storm. (Or am I just reading too much into the image?) Seen in Co. Mayo, Ireland.
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!)
This device is used to measure various portions of spaghetti. Or I suppose you could use it as a wrench/spanner for round nuts :>. For Macro Mondays theme "negative space".

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