the alley was a canyon of shadows, narrow and deep, cutting through the city's ancient stone. then, a blade of sun. he stood in its pure, bright cut, a book in his hands, yet his gaze was lifted, lost somewhere beyond the frame. his thumb was up, a silent question or a quiet acknowledgment. he was a fleeting moment of clarity, spotlit by chance, a human thought caught between the darkness of the old world and the blinding light of the present.

I should really find a way to sleep without relying on medicine. Anyways, I figured it was a good time to do my self portrait (around 3-4 am?). I've also been lagging on the comments on Flickr, but surely I'll kick it up this week.
About the picture, that's not a dress.. it's actually fabric that I have laying around. I just tied the ends like a halter dress and added a belt. My fashion design inspiration happens to be from the 40s-60s. So.. here we are.

We don't get much dramatic weather where I live, in San Diego County, so it was a real treat to watch this thunderstorm developing in front of us at Canyonlands National Park. A little later there was rain, thunder and lightning. I tried, without any success to get a picture of the lightning, but could never time it right. If I lived somewhere where this was a regular occurrence, I would definitely buy a lightning trigger.

This image showcases the dramatic beauty of Renaissance fashion, with intricate details and a richly textured background. To achieve a similar effect:
✨ Tip: Use dramatic lighting to highlight textures and create depth. Experiment with backlighting to add a halo effect and enhance the mood.

I went to the park with my camera today and ended up hiding in the bushes with my clothes over my head. I wish everything didn't look so small on Flickr! Please make it big...but it's still too small....
Photoshop really made a night-and-day difference with this photo. Pun completely intended.

I wanted a high contrast look for this black and white, and I particularly wanted rim lighting.
Lighting stuff: The rim lighting and backlighting came from a YN560 in a Rogue grid behind and to the right of the flower. I kept adjusting it until I got the look I wanted. Fill light came from a YN560III in a 24 inch softbox at camera left. The strobes, in manual mode, was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

The Montecito on Franklin Ave & N. Cherokee was home to the likes of James Cagney, Mickey Rooney, Don Johnson, Montgomery Clift and even Ronald Reagan.
Prints for this are available on my website here.
Feel free to follow my work on any of these other sites as well:
Fred is a model I have already worked with, and together we have explored several very different shooting styles. For this session, I wanted to take him out of his usual comfort zone by offering something more graphic, with a very tight portrait framing.
I used LED tube lights as the main source, which you can see as thin white streaks reflected in his eyes. The light is both very soft on his face and still directional enough to shape contrast, which works especially well for a male portrait where the skin texture and beard add character.
Barn doors on the sides of the tubes help control the beam and prevent the light from spilling onto the background, which I wanted to keep very dark to enhance the dramatic feel of the portrait.

An amazing evening, just after the rain. Everything was changing by the second - you had to act fast! You can just about see a little @alpower in the shot with his tripod

It's been a 'bumper' year for the peonies...
I love seeing where they come from, what they look like at their peak!
Those huge heads, so layered, all coming out of this one bud, this bud unfurling and displaying all this beauty... it NEVER ceases to amaze me.
The evolution, the unfurling, the GRAND opening...
The peony is the only genus in the flowering plant family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Southern Europe and western North America but grow very well here too, Peonies are actually very easy to grow; once established they can tolerate drought and suffer from very few diseases.
Colours range from pure white through baby pinks and palest peaches to clear deep pink and darkest rich maroon. There is also a pale yellow but it is rare.
Peonies are only available between late May and early July, so get them while you can!
They are very thirsty flowers, so make sure you top up the vase or bowl.
The Greeks believed they could cure over 20 ailments and were found in every monastery garden.
Peonies have been cultivated for over 2,000 years, more for their medicinal qualities than for ornament.
An interesting extra bit of info given by www.flickr.com/photos/eytyxhs/ :
Τhe name of Peony is after a Paion (Peon) who was a student of the Gods' Doctor Asklipios. Paion had cured a wound Hercules had caused to Pluto.
Asklipios got very angry with his student and killed him.
Pluto then metamorphosed Paion into a flower.
This flower is supposed to relief many illnesses and fever.
The Japanese protect the earliest peony blooms from the snow by protecting them with individual small thatched shelters. Some geisha's used to wear special peony colours.
The Chinese name for peony is "sho yu" which means "most beautiful" and they idolised this flower.
The common thread is that the flower always denotes luxury and indulgence.
Went for again for a dramatic lighting, to make them 'different' from other flower images, as usual, comp in camera...
My favourite... Lol, thanx for your time and comments, M, (*_*)

Why not view the set as a slide-show?
Also I often upload more than one image at the same time, I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...
