$1 boxes of blackberries!? Oh hell yes I'm all over that! But what to use them all for?... JAM! First I've ever canned anything myself.
I've been studying rock and other natural surfaces for a long time. I try to produce a "random" style in my shapes and their surfaces, and this series seems to show that I've accomplished what I'm after. The "beauty" of these pieces is perhaps up to debate, but I think at least I've accomplished an effect that transcends the human touch. There is little evidence here of "my" work or my imposition of form or surface on the natural ingredients.
So I was tired and I had some bits of clay with Robinia pseudoacacia leaves impregnated in them. I almost blindly rolled these out with the rolling pin and with just my fingertips rolled and pressed them together. This piece is about 5 inched across and is a wonderful centerpiece for twigs, dried leaves, holly, or something big and light like a dried Hydrangea inflorescence.
Photo of a fish net called Mahal Jaal,
A little experiment by me using different software, my intention to make it look like a painting. — in Bara Kathaldia, Bangladesh.
Experiment: cropping photos in a triangle, with a duotone which in my opinion matches the setting and composition of the photo.
For my next step in this experiment I'd like to make prints, cut out the triangle, and glue them to foamboard.
Trees etc. / Fullspectrum Experiment:
I know, I should not post so many pictures at one time, this reduces the chance anyone looks at anything but the first. But ... well, I can't help it.
I carried the fullspectrum camera with me today, and stacked 3 filters on top of the Minolta 50-135/3.5 lens: A UV-IR Cut, a warming filter and an UltraContrast 0.5. This way I got RAWs with almost no blue, a lot of warm tones and muted greens. I did some digital post processing, but the basic „color grading“ was done while I took the photos, thus analog.
Possibly this is dumb artsy talk, but I find many of these have a certain „presence" that is hard to explain. The lens was used wide open, mostly.
Along this track that I walk so often right now there's little more than trees and what you see here, so I need to make something out of that. I think this little series showed me again, there is potential and birch trees are always the photographers best friends.

More experimenting in 'Jainbow-land'!! I'm a bit scared of Photoshop, but there was a useful free CD with a mag, which gave hints on how to colour a black and white image by hand! I didn't have a cute little toddler like the example in the mag, so I had to use Tim's photo instead - lol!
