A true Moto Guzzi fan.
like me mike has reached an age where our hair is pretty much white. Boy oh boy does this make a passport photograph difficult. They have to be on a plain light coloured background; so your hair just blends into the background.
Then the automated photograph submission software rejects the image because it can't distinguish you from the background.
I was worse for me as I have white hair and a white beard.
Does anybody know how professional photographers cope with this ?

Thanks to Rusty who found this nice example of old wheelchair in this magic old lunatic asylum. The place closed down in the late 1990s, at a age of 150.

Looking down the the front entrance and foyer from the top floor, sixth I think. It has 3 subterranean floors, with a cyclotron in the lowest one.
Inside the cheesegrater building, otherwise known as the SAHMRI (South Australian Health and Medical Research) building.
Well here i go, lets start with a bit of nudity to get the ball rolling. Had plans for more colour from within the shower with another flash and gel but so many mirrors and glass caused to much of a headache on the one i already have!
strobist...sb28 1/16th through 24" softbox direct left of glass whilst balancing power against downlight on myself in the shower.
You have seen it before - acres of sunflowers, all looking the same.
Without eyes and lips they are just another faceless being in the crowd.
Taken on the LX3 at night with the overhead downlights on. The black background is natural. The light was too harsh, but I had wanted to try this, just see what would result.
Handheld macro, no flash.
For those who don't know my friend Woo, I recommend you check him out. He doesn't do flowers much better than I don't do flowers.
At 11.00 o'clock at night you are using a cashpoint machine in the dark and a complete stranger comes up to you and asks you to come around the corner to have your photo taken! Luckily for me Clare said yes. But I should say that it was obvious I had just finished my shift in the store and her boyfriend Chris was standing next to her so it's not that bad.
Clare (I hope I got the spelling right) was more than happy to participate and is currently just relaxing while she waits to go to University in September to study Healthcare and Social science. I don't think you can really tell from this shot how nervous Clare is having her photo taken, this was the last of seven shots where Chris and myself were trying to get her to relax and we just about managed it. The light is from a really bright downlight outside the store which I've wanted to make the use of for a while but is quite restricting on the background because the fall-off is so severe, Clare had to stand in just the right position, but I think it just about works.
Thanks for letting me take up your time Clare and good luck at Uni.

I still like to combine red, blue and green with tights, leotards and zentais. Also I did manage to position a flash on the ceilling to create that downlight. Well, a lot of interessting shadows but also a lot of dark areas. Really cool are the changing colors on the background caused by reflecting light off the fabrics.
What do you think?

These shots mostly show a cast of yellowishness on the swallows' underbellies - concluded that they might be getting some up-lighting from the golden barley field they were overflying.
Just a suggestion, certainly they're normally shown as a creamy white in standard downlighting-daylight.
Not to make any fun at all of the distilling company who have been doing awesome stuff during the crisis.
This primitive low cart carries a sculpture of a camel. All part of the decoration in the hall of the Tap Inn.
I've pulled this image of the lifting bridge at Salford Quays about a bit in Photoshop but for some reason I cannot get the symmetry perfect. In some ways it makes the photo more intriguing.
From Wikipedia : "Designed by Carlos Fernandez Casado, the bridge has a main span of 95m in a Lohse Arch, with the two peaks of the twin arches connected at the crown. These brace one another, resulting in greater structural rigidity. The deck is connected to the arches with vertical members, which splay outwards at an increasing angle towards the centre of the span. The sweeping arches are decorated with blue LED lighting, while the deck is illuminated with white downlighting. Pedestrians are protected from the prevailing winds by glass sides, coloured blue at foot level and tapering in, following the angle of the arches.
The lifting design utilises four white tubular steel space truss towers with concrete counterweights mounted internally on red carriers, although early plans envisioned spherical counterweights. These are suspended by cable over large grey wheels, mounted above decorative triangular maintenance platforms. This counterbalancing system allows the bridge to complete a raising or lowering through its 18m lift in less than three minutes. The outermost truss sections of each tower curve away from the main bridge at the base, tapering to a point, and each tower is topped with two decorative blue lights. The four towers also feature uplighting from the maintenance platform, although this feature has not been operational for some time."

When the weather outside gets too cold, (or I just get lazy) I'll polish my kitchen counter and play with some still life shots.
The halogen downlights and the black granite provide an impromptu studio.
Today, I dragged out some of the collection of instruments I have around the house.
This is my Yamaha CG101MS classical "plunker" that I play when I'm doodling around and want a soft, mellow sound.
Diners sit drinking at tables with white table cloths and green paper place mats as the train speeds around Bodensee and the sun sets over the lake. A passenger makes a takeaway order at the buffet counter. The car interior is bathed in a warm, golden light. The ceiling is studded with downlights arranged in a symmetrical pattern.
Civic fountain with Newcastle Library in the background.
I'm not sure what that orange spot is on the rock, lower right of frame, other than perhaps a downlight which is out of frame to the right.
I built these a few years ago to replace a dangerous slippery carpeted flight that ended with a three step wind to the right, so one would exit 90 degrees from entering the stairs. The partial wall on the right of the run was an open array of lightly nailed balusters, skinny spindles ready to trip a toe or trap.a leg.
Each original step was different from its fellow - rise height and tread depth varied by as much as an inch, and none were level front to back or side to side - a true death trap. Some of that was racking from past earthquakes, but it was mostly poor workmanship. This is, after all, a California suburban tract house from 1978. I can easily picture the crew, having myself worked on one.
First closing in the open balusters with a solid wall, I then stripped off carpeting and essentially built a new flight over the old with paper-faced sign painters board, a high quality stiff thick plywood, correcting proportions and level. Simple flat-sawn maple boards are the treads, bedded in anti-squeak silicone caulk and fastened with four dowel-plugged screws. Walls were troweled with my proprietary sanded mud with chopped sewing thread admix, entry floor floated with cream colored cement grout. The wooden treads are varnished in tough urethane to which a special transparent grit has been added, a product made to add traction to varnished wooden steps.
I finished the job with a wooden handrail. Ever trying to save a buck, I made the curved returns from scrap - code requires handrails to end with no gap at wall surfaces so clothing can’t get caught. But I spent the money I saved on some sleek unfussy brackets that neatly mortise into the bottom of the round rail. No finger stubbing on metal bits for my handrail!
Changed the lighting, too - four downlights versus two bare bulb under glass ceiling fixtures that guaranteed a harsh shadow climbing or descending,
It all seems to work fine now. A person can go up or down, or even change their direction midway when a person remembers they forgot something either upstairs or downstairs. They seem safer. Nobody has fallen down them. Yet.
Light on Windermere. I'm not sure if this fits in with this month's assignment being downlighting rather than back, front or side but as any light is in short supply this month I thought I ought to submit something!
A house in a Conservation area, with the project consisting of a loft extension at the rear gable roof and a kitchen rear extension.
The loft extension will be a zinc roof cover with a 2 windows and a roof light to allow natural light into the central part of the house. The metal colour of the zinc will match the colour of the window frames, for an integrated aesthetic. The proposal will also remodel an extent of the interiors but this interior work will not require planning. The kitchen design will elongate the kitchen and a sliding fire door will be created in the design to create a protected stair. The living room will
include a new fire door to form a protected stair as well.
The rest of the house include renovations to ensuite bathroom, a larger closet, children's bedrooms and bathroom extension.
Honestly, it was journey and a good lessons learned. Some lessons include
1. Making 100% sure before the contractor is hired that they will comply and sign a contract with the client. Here they did an agreement and this is where everything goes wrong, including massive changes of the design, without my knowledge. Many rooms as not as I designed them.
2. Even without a contract to contract adminstrator, I should have been on site every week, as the stair design was completely messed up by the contractor, even though the drawings show something aligned. Samples of every material should have been taken before being applied on the walls, ceilings etc. The children's room was designed without wood, for example.
3. Looking at details such as unaligned downlights and light in the complete different location, not as per drawings at hand.
4. Using a closet and kitchen supplier right away and just laying out the idea, which I mostly did.
5. Getting the client's full trust in designing items as we went through the architectural stages, rather than designing later on with the contractor.
We have hit the ground running in San Miguel de Allende, and I ditched the D3 in favor of playing with the G11 while shooting some of the class participants on Day One.
This was indoors in a white classroom, which had halogen downlights on the walls. So we let that drive the ambient exposure and snooted a single SB-800 on Beth's face.
She was about two feet away from the wall, so by the time the overspray light from the snoot hit the wall, it lined up behind her to make a neat separation light.
San Miguel is amazingly beautiful. And we have a fun, tight class. Gonna be a cool week...
In case you were wondering this was created from shooting low towards the ceiling in the centre of a downlight metal girder. National Maritime Museum, Hamburg.
