When coming across the opportunity to use these window frames, I didn't immediately have an idea of what I wanted to do with them. I took an arrangement of shots from different angles and different editing styles, but none of them really gave me an interesting vibe, until I decided to just shoot the photo from point-blank. When looking at the photo afterward, I was struck by the idea of an apocalyptic scene. In many cinematic films, especially in sappy, depressing, or scary movies, there'll be a creepy, dark, window scene. I wasn't so fixed on creating a horror film scene, as I was creating an apocalyptic photo. With the hills, nature, trees, and bushes in the background, I was left with the idea that I could use a direct, point-black composition to portray the emptiness, and lack of human involvement in the photo. I darkened the frames of the window while making the brick, and other tan/reddish items stand out, in order to give the photo as interesting of a color scheme as possible. I then desaturated color from everything outside of the brick, and window, in order to give the feeling of an empty void, or a mysterious, untouched, empty forest. I didn't want to create necessarily a zombie apocalypse, but I wanted to create some sort of apocalyptic event. Thus my biggest inspiration for the photo was from the movie "Bird Box," in which humanity starts to deteriorate, and nature begins to take over again.
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!

I would like to thank to SkeletalMess for his wonderful tutorials.
A small amount of energetic material in a six inch long line burns quickly. When I filmed this a few years back using a normal video the stuff went all at once like flash powder. From counting frames it's burning at 10 feet/sec.
It still amazes me that the paper underneath is not burned at all.
I had to stop the lens down to keep from saturating the sensor.
ASA 400 1/4000 3000fps 448X352 50mm f/22
This was so hard to do! I had to hang up the frames and then had to wait for the right time to take the shot because it was so windy. xP
Photo taken in very heavy light polution, i have no idea if the colours are correct or what part of the Milky way this is, I just pointed the camera up and took 20 x 20 second frames and averaged them in Photoshop. I hope to go to a dark sight soon to see what i can capture then. Has heavy editing to reveal the structure and colours
Taken with a Samyang 14mm at F2.8

Or in my house, as it were.
This is the upstairs landing - the hallway is painted (in a warm, delicious color I love called "Whisper of Warm Apricot" - poncy much?) and done, and I am so in love with it. Just to the left of the photo my cherry blossom lights will be hung on the wall, and the stairs and banister are soon to be painted.
I've spent the afternoon hanging up photos from travels, of family (including photos of grandparents and great-grandparents in black and white and sepia), of things I love and which make our house a home. I've always wanted a hallway covered in happy memories and photos, all in different frames. Now I've got one.
52 Autumn Frames.
Sometimes I also make strange experiemets - or I have an idea. I shot 2 rolls of Kodak Gold 200 a few weeks back, when there was real nice fall color in the forest. But basically I was pretty inspiration-free, so I just shot right into the trees.
Although the pictures were boring, the color was so nice! So I made a overlay of 52 Frames to get just that: The color. Interestingly, if you know it, you can still sense the foilage on the ground and the pattern of the trunks, as well es lighter parts, when the sky shines through the canopy. So instead of only color there is still some pattern left. The essence, perhaps.

Well, I went back through over 100 photos tonight and re-edited them! I thought I was done a couple days ago for December's LA Gallery show, but art is never done until it's done, and even then. . .
