I take a lot of these kinds of photos - wide, open, empty, minimal spaces. But they rarely get uploaded. Perhaps one day i'll find all of them and create a gallery out of just these kinds of photos - all with the horizon line at the same height...
Week#8
I wanted something because i do alot of black n white. So i took a few of a little lake that runs in town. I challenged the DOF to come up with something that hopefully has me stand out.
My dreams are now as nightmares,
as I wander through and through,
My mind is now corrupted,
as I wander through the new,
New doors have opened to me,
and I've paused then to step in,
wondering, and puzzling,
at all that lies within,
I step then through the blackness
of the open portal there,
and I step out into wonder,
that I never then could share,
I meet then a real new sight,
as the colors swirl by,
I see a field,a whole new world,
and I step forth now, but nigh!
What are these things that dwell here,
oh black creatures of the night,
these skeletons and wanderers,
who blunder in the blight.
A road now falls before me,
going down into the field,
I see bright blooms around me,
and I hope they are my shield,
A shield now from the danger,
that now dwells within my mind,
among the red, and white, and pink,
I know not what I'll find.
Things rise up from the ocean;
sea of Red, and pink, and black,
and I wander on the road there,
looking now for what I lack,
my dreams have drawn me to here,
to this field ever bright,
And carry ever onward,
though my mind's not always right.
I walk now through the meadow,
and I wonder what it means
to ever, ever wander,
in this endless Field of Dreams.
it doesn't look like they are but they were running across the field, far away... so not the best quality image but I still like it.
Created for TMI group's challenge, "In the Style of Monet, Gaugin or Rousseau".
A vast field of Purple Loose-Strife, gorgeous to look at but the bane of many a farmer's life. This highly aggressive and rapidly growing weed is spreading like wildfire on wetlands and fields, choking out everything else around it, as beautiful as it is.
All that aside I thought they made for beautiful imagery and made the most of it.

I've been off Flickr for a long time; longer than the last time. I will be slowly catching up with the photo streams of friends and contacts who I have had the pleasure of meeting online and offline. It got to the point where I had to make a choice between shooting, processing photos or doing Flickr. I've also been spending a lot more time looking at photo books and individual photography (and photographer) websites. My new tactic is to set a time limit on how long I'm on Flickr, that probably won't work but it's worth a shot (no pun intended).
That said, I think posting more frequently will help. So at least for the rest of the year I will try to post at least one photo daily. Time will tell if this succeeds.

A possible standard for the Ravage? Just made some combos and I thought they turned out rather nicely!
if anyone knows what this feathery-looking crop is, I'd be interested to know. I've seen it a few times in Limburg and Brabant Asparagus!
These images were taken in the fields outside of Nijmegen in The Netherlands using a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye with a flipped lens on old TMax 400 film.

I was driving a very large van on a country road. I was driving slowly, Camera is my best and faithful friend, always beside me. I saw the pig rebellion, I witness them abandoning the farm for greener pasture. My van was too big to turn around on narrow lane & driveway. I honked a few times to alert Old MacDonald that the hogs escaped his farm, but to no avail. I couldn't leave and let Bacon And Chops wander aimlessly. At last, another car appeared on horizon and a lady took it upon herself to inform Napoleon that his troops deserted. I continue on my merry way and completely forgot, until this moment, that I took a photo of the scene before I departed. Just another day.
I took this last week, on a very rare day when it wasn't raining. I've not really done many sunsets, so this was all trial and error. It's actually a HDR from 3 exposures, something I very rarely do either.
Only thing i'm not happy about is the banding around the sun, which is called the fried egg effect from some forums i've been reading. Not really sure how you avoid it, but this will have to do for the time being. Hope you like it.
