One of many men helping us switch out flooring, move into the house, out of the Alaska house. Some expressed their dissatisfaction with my camera with awkward gestures. This chap did not.
But he did not pose. I just kept clicking. Moving is such fun.

Thanks for looking as I experiment. Hid this during a bit of anxiety; thanks again for the encouraging comments.
Experiment time again. An old photo I took in August 2008 in Gamlingay, Cambridgeshire. This secene features the Church of St Mary the Virgin, and the Wheatsheaf public house. I have tried to make it look more old fashioned by adding some crease effects, any feedback welcome.
This is a solarized version of another photo.
Sorry I have not been around a lot. After the accident it was hard to go out and shoot anything as I could not walk very far and I was too cranky to get a good perspective. Also we are getting ready for our first craft fair next Sunday and I have been matting photos and hand making cards and bookmarks....wish us luck.
I've been up all night trying to get some work done, and thought I'd take a break by playing around with some photos in GIMP. Due to lack of sleep, my judgement is a little impaired and I thought I'd try two things I told myself I'd never do.
This is number 2: add text (let alone poetry) to an image. I remembered this poem when I was looking at my contact sheet and just couldn't resist. You can tell I wasn't really committed to the idea because the text is so small, you probably won't be able to read it unless you view it large. Do you think this works, or is it just lame?
btw the poem is:
春雨や傘さして見る絵草紙屋
正岡子規
which translates roughly to:
spring rain,
browsing under an umbrella
at the book stall
Profession gardien de Zoo à mi-temps, il faut assurer le repas bi-hebdomadaire des tardigrades de l’expérience Cell Science 4 🔬. Les chercheurs étudient les effets de l’impesanteur et de l’environnement spatial sur ces créatures microscopiques qu’on surnomme parfois oursons d'eau. L’espèce la plus grande peut mesurer jusqu’à 1 mm de long, mais en général ils sont microscopiques… Ces créatures sont incroyablement résistantes, capables de survivre à des environnements extrêmes sur Terre comme dans l’espace : certains sont revenus de plusieurs jours à l’extérieur, dans le vide, avec des températures de +100 à -100 degrés, sans un dommage... Dans le cas de Cell Science 4, les scientifiques essayent d’identifier les gènes qui leur permettent de survivre durant des séjours plus ou moins longs dans l’espace, et d’évaluer comment l’utilisation de ces gènes change au cours des générations dans le but d’exploiter pour les humains les secrets de leur incroyable résilience !
Feeding the tardigrades! 🌱 Researchers are investigating the effects of microgravity on these microscopic creatures, also known as water bears, through an experiment called Cell Science 4🔬 #DYK the largest tardigrade species is just over 1mm in length and they're incredibly hardy – surviving extreme environments in space and on Earth. In this case, researchers want to characterise the genes that allow tardigrades to survive during short and long periods in space, then assess how the use of these genes changes across generations Maybe we can harness their secrets!

This was taken from my suburban back garden with some light cloud and street light glow but I was just glad to get out after so much cloudy sky in Ireland.
A view through Orion and Taurus.
A little bit of experimentation - A NISI night sky filter AND a Tiffen double fog 3 attached to the front of my lens - a little vignetting but surprisingly minimal.
Astrotrac TT320X-AG mount for a 1 minute exposure. 5 exposures stacked in PixInsight.
Canon 1dx mark2
Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 at f/2.8 and 24mm.
ISO 1600.
i made a little logo for myself the other day using some type i created. i decided to flesh it out into the rest of the alphabet and see what happened.
Anna is crazy about doing experiments. She went out on the patio tonight with a whole bunch of things to conduct some serious experimental work. She loves discovering new things.
Shot my first roll (of three) of Kodak CIR Colour Infrared negative film. Bronica ETRSi with a Deep Yellow filter.
Experimenting with a bright flashlight to do light painting this morning using the new Canon 6D, before sunrise, at home, at the Golden Gate, and the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, USA. I'm not impressed, could've taken these easily with a cheaper camera. My guest bedroom in the far end had lights on, I used the flashlight to illuminate the corridor.
My Flickr friend “HJSP82” mentioned that Photoshop has a “Star Trail” Action, so I thought I’d give it a go. This is a great way to get a synthetic star trail shot without standing in the cold babysitting a camera for ages (as I do).
Basically all you need is a relatively short exposure of the sky on a clear night to capture the stars without movement (20 seconds or less). You then crop your sky and paste it into a new file and run the “Star Trails” Action which is found in the “Windows, Actions” menu. The code copies your original image, rotates it by 0.2 degrees and merges it with the original using “lighten” and then flattens the image. This process cycles many times and you end up with a fairly realistic wheel of stars. If you want even longer trails, just run it again.
Note: this Action creates the wheel with the centre bang in the middle of the frame. If you wish to offset the centre of rotation, create a file larger than the original sky crop and position the crop so that the desired “pole star” sits in the centre of the larger frame.
You now have the star trails part of your composition which can be cleaned up, sharpened and imported into a the night photo of your choice using “lighten” to merge . However, before you bring it into your image, convert it to mono and then bump up the contrast – this stops the star trails background from creeping into the sky in your night photo.
Make a selection of the land portion of your chosen image and place it above the Star Trails layer to ensure the trails are only visible in the sky portion of your image.
If you have any clouds that you want to keep in your original image, use the eraser to rub out the trails where clouds would naturally obscure them.
Hey presto, a bit of fun and a fairly convincing starry night photo created from the warmth and comfort of home. Why not give it a whirl.
Well after our experimental shoot with local model Shayan I had also been recently inspired by a variety of pieces I'd seen on the internet. One, that I have done no where near the justice emulating, were these multiple exposure portraits by Christoffer Relander. His pieces are beautiful, and so I decided to take an image of Shayan, and a few other candid shots I had lying around and experiment with the various blending techniques I thought might be used by Christoffer.
The end result is no where near as good, but knowledge comes from the journey so I thought it was worth recording this step and then continue to play with it more from here.

On dit que l'espace est un endroit dangereux, mais je pensais que les gants étaient censés nous protéger 🤔 Son talent d’acteur ferait presque oublier que Mark travaille en réalité sur une expérience appelée Ring Sheared Drop. Elle étudie la façon dont les amyloïdes - des dépôts protéiques fibreux et extracellulaires - se forment et se déplacent en impesanteur. Les amyloïdes sont associés à certaines maladies neurodégénératives comme Alzheimer, et on a besoin de mieux comprendre leurs mécanismes si on veut développer à terme des traitements 💊🏥

They say space is a dangerous place, but I thought that's why we wore gloves 🤔 In between the antics (that I instigated, don’t blame him), Mark is actually working on an experiment called Ring Sheared Drop, investigating how fibrous, extracellular protein deposits called amyloids form and flow in space. Amyloids are associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Knowing more about them could help scientists develop treatments 💊🏥
