#100 -- Stripes -- 119 Pictures in 2019
Knit from Feederbrook Farm's Entropy yarn, the striping all in the colorway -- except for the bit of black lace I added to the ends. This is a gift for a friend, but I had to wear it once -- & photograph -- before sending it off.
This is as an experiment to see if I could get a painting-like image without resorting to PaintShop's built in brush-stroke tools. The image is quite low resolution because my orangutan photo was so small - but I got so fascinated by his expression (which is so recognizably human) that I had to do something wih him!
OK Not a very original idea, the old head-swap chestnut - but am I bothered?
Anyway...
The orangutan is a baby and lives at Twycross Zoo. The human is me. Multiple contrast tweaks, burn-ins, colours adjustments, blurs and sharpens etc. later I got something decent. I then merged it with a photo of a screwed up / straightened out piece of white paper for the over-all texture.
PSP effects. May 2006.

Little shoot with this awesome Evolution VIII
Car has quite a stance.
Shot with a Canon 7D and Kit Lens (28-135 f/3.5)
3 AB800's used. (1 Camera Left / 2 Camera Right)
For FGR's Monkey Mondays.
OK, OK, they're not monkeys, they're apes, primates, neanderthals, whatever, to-mah-to, to-ma-to. I didn't have a monkey handy!
(And not to screw the 365 Project up completely, I took this.)
The Land Rover 2A is a clear descendant of the Series 2 designed by The Rover Car Company as the successor to The Series 1 which commenced production in 1948.
One of the most distinct exterior changes is the adoption of the curved waste line to accommodate the vehicle's wider track.
Underneath the vehicle has a purpose built 4 Cylinder engine with a common block for both petrol and diesel variants.
This waste line was carried through until Land Rover ceased production in 2015 and is still present in the contemporary Defender.
Externally a Series 2 has a flat vallance which is different to the curved vallance used by the 2A + a myriad of other evolutionary changes.
When Rover ceased production of the P4 Car this left them with an unused surplus of 6 cylinder engines which were fitted to Series 2A LWB and Station Wagon models for both home and export markets.
Hi my name is Andy and I am a newly rebuilt and restored Series 2A 109" 6 cylinder Land Rover.
I was first made in a factory in Solihull, Birmingham, England in 1969.
I had a hard life and worked very long hours for many years and eventually fell into disrepair.
One day some men came and took me away to Scotland where, where I was taken completely to bits. I got a new chassis, and my engine was taken to bits and re-machined. All my body parts and galvanised components were taken away and re-galvanised.
I don't remember much about it, it was like I had a very long sleep, and the one day I woke up and realised I was being put back together again with lots of new nuts and bolts and hundred of shiny new rivets.
Now I look like I did when I first rolled off the factory line 52 year ago.
I belong to Mr Hugh and my Doctor when I was being operated on was Mr Graham who put me back together again with great precision and attention to detail.
I am running in at the moment and can only go about 50 MPH.
My favourite drink is petrol and I drink a lot of it particularly when I am thirsty and working hard going up hills.
Mr Hugh has told me that he plans to take me on lots of adventures which, I look forward to sharing with you.
At the moment I am holiday down at St Abbs in Berwickshire, Scotland, which is very beautiful and has lots of boats, and people and seabirds.
I might even get some work on films and on the telly. I imagine that happening to me after all this years.
I feel like I am the luckiest Land Rover in the world.
The first time I went out, I got very hot and I lost a lot of oil as my main crankshaft oil seal failed, however Mr Hugh took me back and got me fixed, so I am all right now and looking forward to all my adventures to come.
The Ripon Rally Details have arrived:
Thought I'd share the evolution of one of my Graffiti images. Taken just before Xmas on Leake Street this piece by Parlee had been tagged which distracted the eye from the artwork.
Image one is the RAW file straight out of the camera (yes I know, not very straight but it was a very cold, wet and windy day and I was already soaked so didn't have the inclination to take my time over the initial set up).
Image two is the initial edit, still showing the tags.
Image three is the final edit.
Edited mainly in Lightroom with the final collage pulled together in Photoshop Elements.
The latest Matchbox Moving Parts mix doesn't have a weak casting in it, every one guaranteed to get collectors clambering for their wallets.
I'm pretty confident their new 1996 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV will be especially sought after, not just because of its subject matter but its genuinely being well executed. Crisply cast with neat clean lines featuring detailed front and rear and an opening bonnet.
Mint and boxed.
An oil painting (160 X 130 cm) on evolution both physical AND spiritual.
