I shot this in response to this weeks photogamer challenge. These little colorful spheres are caused by light coming through the drops on my window during last nights storm. I paired the image with an inverted and 180 degree rotated version of itself.

This is dedicated to Peggy who has taken a recent tumble and fractured a rib.....ouch! Hope you are feeling better soon! Taken outside in natural light. View in light box (press 'L') if you have time.

..not quite. Crunch

Strength, determination, running towards a goal. Just a small section of the sky lights up like this near the setting sun, and because of my location - looking up at a jogging and bike trail - I sometimes am lucky enough to get the right combination of lighting, sharpness, and runner 'attitude.' With this shot I got a feeling of pride, pacing oneself, and resolve.

going back to those spinney days

... more playing with putting kaleidoscopes in front of each other - this is looking at some shiny gold wrapping paper

The night is beautiful.

Shot below a farm house near Wangaratta at around 9.00 in the evening. Composed of two images one of the farm house and the other of the milky way.

I got a HDD that's stuck in a death roll and i lost all my LP work from this year, probably 35gb of jpegs and raw.

still searching for some new recipes and a fresh approach.

attempting to brew up some strangeness

One of my experimental shots from saturday.

Please do not start a moral debate about what light is, or whether God exists. If you'd like to, it's already happening over here.

Enjoy!

don't seem to have much time these days and been up against the creative brick wall for a while now, managed to catch a rare hour yesterday and waft a few lights about

crop from the previous shot, spider web in green with a hint of blue, more blue on the web would work better for me, but I didn't even spot this until I got back home

straight off camera random waft reflection,

Walked around my property. Insects seemed to rule today. Found this dragonfly while I went around my labyrinth. It agreed to be photographed. I didn't mention I was going to put its image on flickr...

no concept just spontaneous fun.

Late to the sunset party. I was able to "rescue" this photo, the second frame taken in a series.

Saw the sunset and clouds while riding my bike south from the Music Harry's Place. I wanted to get into a position to put the gazebo in the foreground, knowing all the while that the light and sunset was failing fast, and I might not make it. Once I got into position, I had to move around to partially "cover" the commercial buildings and neon signs across the river; all the while wondering if I could even handhold this low light shot with 80-200mm beast. Cropped some sky and grass off top and bottom and also cloned/healed out a jet contrail. Used a gradient mask to bring out the foreground.

Version 3: Noticed a problem with the gradient mask I used to bring out the foreground. Do you see it? Added a radial mask to balance things out and added a second version of this photo. Corrected minor lens distortion, and brightened things up a bit more in case of printing.

Giocando con la luce (playing with light)

Just a harmless Santro

I like the detail in the wall where the light falls off. Almost makes the manky woodchip look nice.

Learning new techniques on a digital camera course. Signed up to get me out of the house on these long winter nights. Andy the tutor was spinning a torch round in his hand in this one.

And old picture of Conor, taken in the dark using a light below. Conor is a Souldoll Vito Lester.

must replace the switch on the spiro wheel.

my attempt to draw a loveheart obviously didn't go according to plan ..

Headed out for a few days so thought I'd unload some photos that have been sitting around awhile. Have a good weekend.

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

A stately pleasure-dome decree :

Where Alph, the sacred river, ran

Through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea.

An interesting look at depth provided through multiple colours to highlight the creativity within the Toronto Power Plant Building.

Listen in on 100.5 and pull into the Floral Showhouse Parking Lot for the choreographed music and light change with more colours and fun!
