Old picture of Jenny (2004) One of my first attempts of Photoshop filters and finishing. Taken with Nikon N65 Film camera then scanned (low resolution/noisy pic =( ) so i managed to save it a bit.

- Candlelit Light Painting Still Life-
Another Still life study with soft macro at candle's light, in the style of the antique Master Painters.
Shot in darkness and painted by highlighting portions of the composition moving a handheld candle in a long exposure.
Light study for a soft tone macro still life with some autumnal crop from my garden, from my neighbors and the woods in the neighborhood. My photography is unmanipulated, no retouching and no post-processure but just a slight routine editing.
I have tried to approach as much as possible the effect of the paintings of a time when the electric light didn't exist yet and, when darkness fell, the painters were used to illuminate the subjects to paint with candles and/or natural torches.
I'd just like to add, once for all, that I don't use any filters, neither on lenses nor in post-production: it's my exigency to reach the "essence", the pure artistic effect via the sole use of my display, the footage setting preparation and shooting ability. Although I am very picky and stubborn, I don't always reach the result expected, sometimes I do beyond my expectations and in any case I like to experiment until I reach something that may be interesting to me.

Chestnuts/castagne, hazelnuts/nocciole, pomegranates/ melograni, one persimmon/cako and one medlar/nespola at soft candlelight in darkness with no artificial light spots.
The black background is a physical "limbo" allowing to create a sort of transparency or absence of the background, saving the macro image from any retouching artifact or manipulation in post-processure and enlightening to emphasize the subjects photographed, depicting them with a good three-dimensionality and even a certain deep of field, notwithstanding the limits of the 2D photography.

Originally, the Harris shutter was a device with three colour filters, allowing the photographer to make a single photo of a time series of shots with different primary colours. When the camera is kept steady, areas of the photo without any change end up having the same colour as in reality, whereas areas where motion takes place give a kind of rainbow effect.

Popped over to one of my favorite spots and was lucky enough that the conditions were almost perfect. Due to full moon the tide was higher and there was hardly any wind either so the water reflected the skyline better. Also bought a little platform just high enough to sit in the water with the lense just a cm above the water to maximise the reflections.
Two things that would improve this image. Shoot on a weekday to get all the office lights and NO wind whatsoever to get the perfect mirror image.

----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

Tell me all your lies
Play tricks on my mind
I don't care
I switched on the lights
You went on the side
I don't care
Why do you look so confused?
I know what you didn't do
You still want to play your games
I am wiser, I have changed
Yeah, and now the joke's on you
It's a side effect of love to lose control
Just to realize you're better on your own
It's a side effect of love to want it all
You can't get enough until the feeling is gone

Saw this wonderful sunset from my bedroom window and with it a chance to try my new camera for these type of shots. I did a very subtle Orton effect on this shot.
God is truly a God of Wonders!! =)
I used Cameringo, a mobile editing app., to create this first by creating a negative, then an effect called twist, deepx. 😄

Please view this one large. You're only cheating yourself if you don't.
I have so many shots of this area that it has been an inner struggle for me to pick just one that I want to post. After narrowing it down to a 10 stop at sunset vs. this night time shot, I chose to put this one up. There is just such a strange marriage of events that slaps the face of reality. The scene was very well lit despite the fact that the sun had set about 20 minutes prior to this. There is an uncanny effervescent glow that stretched across the horizon. City and pier lights warmed up for the night shift. Camera detail is really crazy. You can see the traffic lights all the way in the background change from red to green. The moon decided to make an appearance and the flowers had enough light from the houses behind me and a pathway to the left. The glow was faint to the naked eye but was perfect for the effect I wanted. The clouds even look peculiar like little twisters. There's also a strange sheen on the water. Bizarre scene all around. I'm sure I'll eventually put up all the shots I have of this place but this is all for now. Thanks for looking, commenting, and critiquing.

It's a tongue-in-cheek self portrait. Lockdown has not been so bad for me. I'm semi retired so have time to sit and listen to music, read books, write, daydream and think. I'm a lucky man but possessions are not everything in life. Recent restrictions have had an effect on us all. I suppose I have the advantage of being deep down an introvert, happy with my own company if needs dictate. Others are perhaps not so fortunate.

Team Bugatti at the 1922 French Grand Prix in Strasbourg: #5 Ernest Friedrich, #12 Pierre de Vizcaya, #18 Jacques Mones-Maury (The Marqués de Casa Maury) and #22 Pierre De Vizcaya.
My restoration and colorization of an image in the Gallica Digital Library.
One of the cars was sold by Christies in 2001:
"Following the resounding success of his 1500cc cars which secured the first four places in the most important voiturette race of the 1921 season at Brescia, Ettore Bugatti decided that the time had come for him to consider competing in the Grands Prix, then as now the pinnacle of European motor racing. Accordingly he set about the design of an entirely new model which was destined to become his first eight cylinder design to enter production and the forerunner of the wide range of racing and sports Bugattis, most notably the Type 35 Grand Prix model and the Grand Sport Type 43, which were introduced over the following decade.
The Type 29 Bugatti engine was designed initially in 1500cc form, but its capacity was soon increased to two litres to match the new Grand Prix regulations which were to come into force at the start of the 1922 season. A batch of five chassis frames was prepared which strictly were designated Type 22 on account of their 2.4 meter wheelbases, but they featured new cross-members and were in effect shortened versions of the subsequent 2.85 meter wheelbase standard Type 30 production frames.
These first chassis were fitted with newly designed front and rear axles and a new steering box, but retained initially the same gearbox as was used on the 1500cc four cylinder models. The front axle was equipped with hydraulic front brakes, a novelty at the time, while the rear axle retained cable-operated brakes, the drums of which were of much larger diameter, and the radiator was an enlarged version of that of the concurrent 16 valve model.
As with most of the chassis features, the engine too was of an entirely new design, a straight eight with its crankshaft running in three large ball-races and having bronze-bearings in the connecting rods, all mounted, for the one and only time in a Bugatti engine, in a one-piece barrel crankcase. The twin four cylinder blocks featured fixed heads with two spark plugs and three vertical valves per cylinder, two small inlets and one large exhaust. The valves were actuated via finger-type rockers from a single overhead camshaft contained within a rectangular aluminum cambox mounted on top of the engine and driven by shafts and bevel gears from the nose of the crankshaft." --
"The first four chassis produced were allocated the numbers 4001 - 4004 inclusive, the first of a new series of chassis numbers intended to distinguish these new eight cylinder models from their contemporary four cylinder brethren. These four cars were entered as a factory team for the 1922 French Grand Prix which was to be held on 16th July around a triangular road circuit near Strasbourg, conveniently adjacent to Bugatti's Molsheim factory.
Initially the cars were equipped with bolster-tank racing bodies similar to those of the racing Brescias, but shortly before the race they were replaced with far more streamlined coachwork, being of circular cross-section throughout from the cowled radiator to the pointed tail through the center of which the exhaust was discharged. Little wonder that these bodies were immediately likened to cigars!
In the race itself the Bugattis faced strong opposition, in particular from the Fiat and Sunbeam teams, while Count Louis Zborowski was driving one of the 1500cc Aston Martin twin-cam cars which he had personally financed. The race was held over a distance of 500 miles which proved too much for most of the 18-car field, only four running at the fall of the flag, three of which were Bugattis. The race was easily won by the sole surviving Fiat, another of which had crashed two laps from the finish but had still covered more distance than the third Bugatti. Thus, although denied a victory in their debut Grand Prix, the Bugattis had accounted well for themselves, particularly in respect of their reliability."
