My own hand, using a remote shutter release, and five small LED spotlights. As I wanted a plain black background, I covered myself in a black shroud and set the aperture as wide as possible. That led me to bump up the treatment in PP. It is overdone, but does produce sufficient punch.

Again this one of the many shots I took while down at the Reservoir near Wernigerode. I've always wanted to capture a shot such as this, that darker sinister sense of imagery.

 

But that said, it gave me such a sense of the way of the common human consciousness, or should I say lack thereof, of just how ambiguous we have become to the word "Empathy", we are so powerful in togetherness, I know it sounds trite and awkward and cheesy, even downright annoying to hear it, but when we are wowed by an enormous explosion in Libya and forget dozens of people are dead and thousands injured caused no doubt deliberately by a dark force; when we are aware of the plight of the starving Yemenis as well the desperation of the Palestinians, it reminds of a lyric by Chris Rea from the single The Road to Hell...

 

"And the perverted fear of violence, chokes a smile on ever face"

 

I truly hope it is paved with good intentions.

 

Mid week, we're almost there folks and so as always thank you! :)

I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I know): their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who. I send them over land and sea, I send them east and west; but after they have worked for me, I give them all a rest. (Rudyard Kipling, Just So Stories)

"Something but the past and done?"

Pike County near Concord, Georgia

You may wish to come up with your own interpretation. But I did use an ND filter and five small LED spotlights.

Sitzt sicher, hinter dem Gitter des Halbverstandenen. Hinter der von anderen gemachten Norm. Nachahmer der etablierten Form. Irritierter Kunstpapst, dem die Angst im Nacken sitzt. Meister des Epigonentums.

There is a house hiding in the mist behind these trees.

Masks are a wonderful thing. This is a Korean folk theatre mask. But geography does not matter here. Manipulation of the electorate happens almost everywhere. Even in self-declared beacons of democracy such as the US and the UK. In particular there, at the moment. Promoting populist policies in the interest of the few are shady and non-elected political advisers. They are hiding behind the mask of the elected government. But they are looking at you. Contre-jour, reflector used.
