As the temperature outside headed towards the triple digit mark, I decided to spend some time in pursuit of images that would offer a new world where I might get some respite from the heat. This liquid landscape was composed of water, glycerin, and baby oil. At the last minute I decided to add a bit of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Impossível não perceber o quanto os "jovens pessimistas" são especiais demais para continuar a viver e respirar. O pessimismo se tornou uma moda quando a juventude humana aprendeu a digitar, afinal de contas as pessoas preferem complicar ao vivenciar, criticar ao apoiar e ser pessimista ao amar. Por fim o poeta morre e é esquecido nas mãos do digitador, que dita não acreditar no amor.
Something old, I didn't have time to look at new stuff.. On black here.
It's from a shoot back in October (though flickr says that it's from April). Actually I took this and this the same day. :)
Cheers
This Snowy Plover was seen at Malibu Lagoon State Beach. It seems to be missing a digit from its right foot but is managing OK.
Weekly Alphabet Challenge 4/52 ~ Digit
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
A small herd of Luing Cattle on Gummers How in the Lake District. Introduced as part of a Higher level environmental management scheme to assist vegetation management designed to encourage shrub and flower habitat. So, some Digits with an important purpose.
Made for an interesting and muddy walk today.
The water bowl is going down a treat. Digit is still doing very well with only one finger on his right hand.
VIA 72 departs "WDON" as the fall leaves start falling along with the temperatures into single digits. VIA 902 serves as the pusher for the train
~This is one of the most picturesque churches I have ever seen. It sits on top of a hill overlooking the small and quaint town of Bodega. Bodega is where Alfred Hitchcock's novel The Birds was filmed in 1963. Ansel Adams photographed this church ten years prior.
Here is Mr. Adams' version Church and Road, Bodega, CA.
Union Pacific’s SD45’s always appealed to me, with their flared radiators and two-digit numbers in a fleet that numbered in the thousands. Unfortunately, they eluded me in my few visits to the UP before their retirement. The next best thing was running into a GP40X with the same unique characteristics in Cheyenne prior to a steam excursion over Sherman Hill.
Selfie.
This is left hand, palm side between 2nd and 3rd digit (you can see a ring), backlit with an LED torch. You can also see some veins in the top finger which I'd not noticed when doing this previously.
Sometimes I think that it would be worth exploring taking macro abstracts of different parts of the body. But there are two obvious problems though.
First, the only person in the house that would put up with such a project also needs to be clicking the shutter.
Second, how on earth do you get rid of all those Wrinkles of Wisdom? (By the way, I'm still waiting in the hope that the Wisdom will turn up real soon - the wrinkles have been here for quite a while now.) And in any case, why do you think I chose the palm-side?
This was another idea that turned out to be more of a challenge than I had anticipated. It was a task and a half to take, trying to compose and focus in the dark, trip the shutter and keep in the same position without moving (Ed: that's what same position means, surely?)... This is the best of about 20 - it took that long to get a half-workable technique.
For Smile on Saturday "Let it Glow!" theme.
Thank you for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy smiles for Saturday!!
[Tripod mount. LED torch back-lighting. Manual focus. Delayed shutter. High auto ISO, as small an aperture as I could bear.
Processed in Photolab 2 for the Prime noise reduction.
Cropped in Affinity Photo to get the main diagonal bright line going through one of the corners but still have the two other diagonals showing lightly.
Sharpened using Unsharp Mask and High Pass/Linear blend. Reduced clarity to soften the textures and noise.
More denoise.
Dark vignette.
I've discovered that because Flickr uses 8 bit jpegs rather than 16-bit pngs and there is a very limited colour range in the picture, the red gradients don't work as well as they might, particularly on some of my devices :(]
