Here is one from a recent portrait shoot in an abandoned night club.
This image was taken with natural light as my speed light sink speed is too slow for this fast shot.
for Utata's Iron Photographer project 158 the elements are:
1 - a sack
2 - hardware
3 - the colour green
Telephoto isn't one of my favorite things to use on something like this, when there's not one, but two locomotives of interest.
My plan was to shoot a broad-side on the bridge, just behind the trees on the right, as I have done before. But since 2020 is the summer of MOW, the guard rails of said bridge are lined with plywood, and not conducive to a shot.

I guess it depends on where you are from as to what these are called. In Australia we call them both pumpkins and grammas (depending what part of the country you're from). These guys have been left to rot after a recent flood in the area. Phoenix Park, New South Wales. Australia.

An R6 shot converted to mono using a blue filter - nearly got the 5x4 out but there was my reflection to worry about so might have used the polariser
I had to make sure my last "Sunday, Bloody, Sunday" photo was extra bloody!
This concept was hard since I don't know what a smashed head actually looks like. I can already notice a few things I'd change to make this more believable, but this is what I got for now!

When the horde descended on a remote planet the poorly equipped defenders were quickly overwhelmed.
Two days have been passed since the invaders made planetfall and they are still indulging in wrecking havoc on the helpless population, mostly for their own perverse enjoyment.
They are about to raid one of the colony’s cities when a huge and enraged green creature emerges from the wreckage of a building.
“Our first catch of the day” they think. But they are wrong. Terribly wrong.
The destruction of the invaders’ vanguard instills courage in the inhabitants who fight back with renewed strength.
Tales of the “Green Giant” who saves them from extinction spread across the planet.
Nobody knows what brought him so far, far away from his home planet or why he is fighting for their cause.
All the know is he gave them the most powerful weapon: hope.
The “Green Giant” is obviously the Hulk and specifically Savage Hulk action figure made by Diamond Select. The Horde warriors are Gears of War Savage Theron (Savages and Sentinels) action figures by Neca.
In the description there is little reference to The Empire Strikes Back :) Did you notice it?
I hope you like this photo :)
After catching a large octopus, it need to be hit on the rocks in order to make it softer. This was a large octopus of 2.6 kg caught in South Crete.

I love the frivolity that occasions Halloween, and in particular the carving of jack-o-lanterns. Even though I'm long past the age for trick or treating, I make a point of walking the village streets on Halloween night, on the hunt for the flickering candles illuminating the scary faces people have created for their pumpkins. Sometimes I can even smell the smoke and scent of heated pumpkin that wafts out into the night. Great memories for sure. But what really grips me is the sense of darkness and loneliness whenever I enter a pumpkin patch. Don't know what it is, but it's almost always the same. Particularly after the harvest and all that's left are the unwanted pumpkins. Usually by now the vines have died back, and damaged and shattered pumpkins are strewn about, often oozing out seeds, like a grim and macabre harvest. I never seem to arrive at places like this on sunny days. It always seems dark and cloudy, and often windy and rainy. Maybe subconsciously I plan it that way. I guess if you really want to experience something like this you might as well go all the way. And that's the weird part. No matter how bleak and dismal, part of me really does want to experience this. Halloween as a concept is deeply imbedded in my psyche. It's much more than just one day for me.

My friend, Jim, came up with this idea. The mousetrap makes plenty of noise, which is easily heard by the microphone to trigger the strobe. And the spring offers enough force to easily smash small soft objects like a grape.
Sue suggested I take it easy on the amount of grapes I use. They were about $2 a pound. And this batch is especially tasty. So, I didn’t want to waste too much. As it turned out, I only did this one grape and it came out pretty good.
I have many fond childhood memories of jack-o-lanterns at Halloween. Cutting into a pumpkin and reaching my hand inside to remove the slimy pulp and seeds. Then carving a design after much trial and error with the layout of the facial features. Candle placement, and then lighting it up. Watching the flickering light; smelling the aroma as the heat of the candle burned the inside of the lid. And watching over the the pumpkin on Halloween night to prevent it from being carried off into the night by those intent on smashing it to smithereens. Always sad to see the pumpkin the next day. Nothing sucks away the magic of Halloween like the cold light of November 1. We always left the pumpkins out on the porch for a few days or weeks after Halloween; sad to watch as the features softened and the mouth became gummy, like an old man with no teeth. Finally the inevitable day came and the jack-o-lantern was ignominiously tossed into the woods. All of the fanfare the occasioned its arrival now a distant memory. Seems odd in a way that a simply gord would inspire terror and become the virtual icon of Halloween. Yet it just seems so right, a throwback to a simpler time.
