"The more horrifying the world becomes, the more art becomes abstract." ~ Paul Klee
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. Swans got lit by the flashlight here.
Experimentando en "mi cristal" con algas, en este caso Sargazo, en donde se aprecian los neumatocistos que le permiten flotar.
My 2 goals this year-to master dripping water & lightning!!! bumped up the midtone contrast on this one as the sky wasn't quite as dark as i would have liked. also this was more of a lightning burst than the lightining rod i had wanted.
sorry comments havent been more exciting/plentiful-i havent been feeling well-dr's appointment tomorrow so bear with me!
also, if any of you have any suggestions/advice as to how to capture lightning, it would be greatly appreciated! havent quite figured out shutter speed yet.
oh, by the way, tried to crop several ways, this looked best to me. gave it more depth with contrast of dark street in foreground & dark sky to right-can you tell I've been reading alot of photography books lately!
This was shot using a Hot Mirror filter over my Canon Rebel T5 converted to 590 nm. The hot mirror blocks uv and IR light and passes visible light. Theoretically with this combination only light in the wave lengths from 590 nm to about 720 nm reached the sensor. This is mostly visible red light and some visible yellow light. To preserve the color balance, the RAW image was converted to TIF using Canon Digital Photo Professional. The files convert nicely to black and white with good contrast and giving a dark sky tone. This is how the image appeared on the camera’s lcd screen.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durlston_Castle
Durlston Castle stands within Durlston Country Park, a 1.13 square-kilometre (280-acre) country park and nature reserve stretching along the coastline south of Swanage, on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset.
History
John Mowlem[1] (1788-1868), a Swanage-born man, was a stonemason and builder. He was the founder of the quarrying and construction company Mowlem. He and his nephew and business partner George Burt[2] (1816-1894) wanted to give something back to their home town, which was the source of their Portland and Purbeck limestone, popular for building at the time. John Mowlem built the Mowlem Institute, a reading room and public library, in 1862. George Burt purchased an undulating tract of land covering Durlston Head during the same year. This estate, the Durlston Estate, included quarries that supplied their firm with limestone. Burt developed this estate as a tourist attraction.
Burt established the Durlston Estate upon the crest of the hill and here he built his folly Durlston Castle. The castle was designed by the Weymouth architect G.R. Crickmay (1830-1907) and built by W.M. Hardy in 1886-87 entirely of local stone. The 'castle' was never a real castle: it was purpose-built by Burt as a restaurant for the visitors to his estate.
The castle played a part in the evolution of radio and telecommunications. A team of Marconi's engineers used the roof of the castle in the 1890s for some of their early wireless experiments to transmit to the Isle of Wight.
The castle passed through the hands of many owners until in 1973 it was bought by Dorset County Council.
Description
The side wall of the castle features a sundial and two stone tablets inscribed with various statistics such as clock times and tides around the world. South of the castle is the Great Globe, built by Burt in 1887.[3] The footpaths around the Castle and Great Globe are lined with cast iron bollards that were brought from London. All around the estate there are further stone plaques carved with quotations from Shakespeare and the Bible, maps showing the English Channel and the United Kingdom, and further facts about the natural world. These surrounds were placed during the period 1887 to 1891.
Also within the Durlston Country Park and within walking distance of the Globe are Durlston Bay, the Tilly Whim Caves and the Anvil Point Lighthouse. The Park is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
Restoration
Durlston Castle and the Great Globe were both restored during 2010 and 2011 by the Council.[4][5] The castle now houses a new Visitor Centre to Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve, and stands as a gateway to the Jurassic Coast.

Parce que "pourquoi pas ?"...
(synthetic raffia) --- --- Ed Rossbach (Chicago, 1914 – Berkeley, California, October 7, 2002) was an American fiber artist. His career began with ceramics and weaving in the 1940s, but evolved over the next decade into basket making, as he experimented playfully with traditional techniques and nontraditional materials such as plastic and newspaper.
Rossbach explored the possibilities of fiber as a material, both on an off the loom. He was strongly influenced by ethnic textiles, including basketry, and often combined ethnic techniques with contemporary materials such as plastic and newspaper. His explorations of three-dimensional forms and basketry as an art form challenged the accepted boundaries of what could be done with craft materials and led to him being considered the "father of contemporary baskets". He has been described as "transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary". (Wikipedia)

Disappointingly, perhaps, this image is of a flintstone suspended on or better in a white foil of plastic. I added the colour in PP and turned the photo upside down. Would have been nice to see the Martian mountains myself.
Spent a day experimenting with light-painting with some friends on an acreage south of Calgary. That's the glow of the city lights in the distance.
Strobist Info:
30 second exposure at f/8
SB-800 with an SD-8A battery back fired multiple times (using the test button) from different heights and angles to light the tree and snow.
