Experimenting in the morning... These are reflections from my kitchen window on a bottle of Martinelli’s Gold Label Sparkling Cider.
Not a real space photo. Light art. Photoshop manipulations = composite image from 2 exposures, gas clouds/nebula created using Waterworld technique, background/foreground stars/gas planet from separate image (LED/laser/kiln), (Took out the increased noise layer...didn't like it, all effects now from two unmanipulated exposures). Still testing effects.
We decided on a quick trip out to the nearest stone circle to where we live, only an hour away but I had never visited it. I have always thought that it would be difficult to photograph as it is hemmed in by trees. We were however pleasantly surprised at how dark it was.
This is experimental as I am still playing around with flash for night scenes, also I have had a go at a duotone.
Expensive as my favourite night lens, Samyang 14mm, apparently is softer than one of the standing stones.
At BrickFair Va 2019, where I was displaying Cold War models as part of a collaboration, we started discussing what to do for the 2020 event. My X-29 (front and centre in this picture) prompted the idea to build experimental military models. I started building my models for the collaboration in February, with my Sukhoi S-37, at a time when COVID-19 seemed to be something happening in Asia. I subsequently built the YF-23 and X-47, even though it seemed less and less likely that the event would take place, due to the developing pandemic, and indeed, it was cancelled. The hope now is that I will be able to travel to the US next year and that we will have our collaboration then, so I continued building, adding the British Aerospace EAP and lastly my M-21 Blackbird/ D-21 Tagboard.
messing around with color and shadow
btw....a lot of road work going on in San Francisco right now....
I have so many challenging shoots planned in the weeks ahead, like building impossible props and digging a 10 foot long trench. It seems unlikely that all of my ideas will work out but I sure will give it a good try. I hear that digging in the rock desert requires heavy machinery...we'll see.
Another addition to my "Sac" series here...freaked me out! I have a silly fear of bathtubs ever since the Rugrats episode where they thing they are going to get sucked down the drain. Bleh.
A new prop is up for sale...http://shadenproductions.com/blog/2010/07/16/the-prop-project-tutus/
Roman Signer, Kitfox Experimental, 2014.
Avion, ventilateurs, câble.
Suspendu à un cable, l'avion tourne lentement sur lui-même, comme à mi-course dans sa chute. A la fois humoristique et inquiétante, cette installation de l'artiste suisse Roman Signer, s'inspire d'une frayeur d'enfance de l'artiste : lorsque, assistant à un meeting aérien, un pilote mit brusquement son avion en piqué, l'enfant crut alors que l'avion allait s'écraser sur lui. Rêve, liberté, mais aussi danger des "machines volantes".
Exposition "Dans l'air Les machines volantes"
Hanger Y, Meudon, Hauts-de-Seine
For the first shot the lightening was yellowish from the electrical lights they have to light up the ice rink during the evenings. Yesterday the lights were very different. Low sun and also a lot of water on the ice as it was + 7 C.
I turned it around and set clarity to minus 55. Also added some warmth. I liked the textures in the reflections here.
If this is popular I will upload another.. Not sure if it has so much interest but it good training for me:p
The white gelpen was a mistake. I will continue with this it hasn't beaten me yet! Ha!
I had prepared some pages of my sketchbook with rawumber the blue pen I used was water-soluble and bled through the white line but I enjoyed the challenge.
(NOTE: All textures were produced in the shot, not photoshop. This piece is very "photoshop-lite" as I only healed a tiny spot near the nose, and adjusted the curves. Everything you see is pretty much on the original file.)
I'm still working out the kinks with this technique and while I like that it's mood is softer than the first shot in the series (the one of my son's face) I am not keen on how the camera autofocused on the glass. That little issue will be fixed next week when I get something less digitally crappy to shoot with (Santa, baby).
I will post another one from this series soon in which there are fewer scratched out parts on the glass. While I think there's something nice about the larger scratched out bits there is still also something about them which bothers me. I am hoping its the focus issue. If not then I'll have to think on it some more. What do you guys think?
