This took me hours, but its been a while since I've done a superimposed picture but I thought you guys deserved one. It took loads of attempts to get the tones and lights right.
I like it :) unfortunately some of my best art comes from when I'm not in a good place
thanx to tudorrose for the backdrop
Before and after is on my my blog
Well, that's what Ralphie's father exclaimed upon receiving his lamp shaped like a woman's leg in the classic holiday movie, "A Christmas Story."
Eh.....what can I say.
When I first joined this site, I didn't care much for writing in-depth commentary to my photos. I wanted the images to stand on their own. Go take a look at the first dozen or so and you'll see what I mean. Then, for whatever reason, I started putting prose and poetry and my neurotic machinations out there for all the world to experience, and you fine Flickr folk began to take notice. Well, I suppose it was that and the 97 testimonials I've written! Anyway, I never expected to be praised for my ability to match image to word. It just seemed like a good idea. I often wonder if I'd be so "popular" here if I did just post a shot with a one-line caption, if I didn't spill my guts at times or put so much effort into making every upload "perfect." I don't know.
Well, I suppose an acceptance speech is in order.....it being an award and all.
I thank the Higher Powers for their inspiration, my parents for their tolerance and love, Jolene for her belief in my abilities and vision, and all of you here for your encouragement and support. I also want to thank the States of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky for being such great subjects; my anxieties, fears, and depression for urging me to pick up the camera and be something more than what they make me; and to my 1988 Mazda 626 junker that started me off on the road (literally) to internet-based photosharing on Fotolog.net when I was "Drive By Shooting." A very special mention must also go out to Mrs. Joanne Puleo, my Commercial Art/Photography teacher in high school. You convinced me that the camera is really a conduit between the worlds of beauty and imagination.
And yes, I actually came up with this design myself. When I was made aware of the whole awards thing, I contacted a few of the Admins and suggested people get something tangible to show for the votes, instead of just a mention in a group. So, everyone that is a "winner" will get a personalized image like the one above to add to their very own photostream. Mind you, I'm not one for tooting my own horn, but what the hell. Every little triumph, no matter how small, is a good one. Honestly though, in my opinion, each person here deserves recognition in their own right. I am constantly amazed at the talent and passion and creativity that exists on this site. I sit in awe sometimes and shake my head. You people do indeed rock my socks.
Well, enjoy your weekend, kids. Play safe.

I love long exposures, everything to do with night time, the dark, sunrise and sunset.
I like to take pictures mainly at night , sometimes during the day and in dull and fading light and I will sometimes display the time and date the picture was taken too.
I tend to take pictures of Light trails, Motorway traffic, Street lights, Buildings, Landscapes, Bokeh, Night bokeh and Hexagonal Night Bokeh in and around the North East of England.
All of my pictures are 100% natural and untouched in every way without ever been Photo shopped or altered or messed about with in anyway whatsoever, No multi layered photography, No HDR's and No image manipulation of any kind, all of my pictures look just the way they did when I saw them at the time of taking and I'm VERY PROUD of that.
I don't do any photo processing at all, I don't even own any photo software.
All of my starbursts are all 100% natural without using any filters or anything else, as is all my bokeh, night bokeh and hexagonal night bokeh, its all natural, no funny gimmicks at all.
I don't do anything with my pictures apart from take them and then upload them , 99.99999% of my pictures don't even get cropped , they are all 100% natural and untouched and then uploaded.
All of my pictures are copy right, © All rights reserved, you MAY NOT use any of my pictures without my written consent, you also MAY NOT change, alter, adjust or rearrange my pictures in anyway what so ever.

The title comes from the native phrase "Walk in Beauty".. and in this case refers to the leaves displaying beauty in this phase, which is, in itself leaving the beauty they once had.
The treatment is a homegrown blending, based very loosely on a manipulation technique referred to as the Orton Technique.
These are hydrangea leaves collected from my front walk.

Part of an ongoing experiment with image manipulation: The images are the result of a 2 stage process. First, a photo is taken of a moving subject. What results is a blurred image, the distortion magnified by the grain and contrast achieved by overdevelopment of the film in the darkroom. Already the face or body has been transformed by the simple act of movement. Then in the second stage, the photo is printed. Sometimes thick glossy varnish is applied across the whole surface of the image, or alternatively, the photo is simply printed onto glossy paper. This is when more magic happens. Shining light directly onto the surface of the paper, the image is transformed again. This time the transforming agent is light. The surface of the photograph interacts with what is contained within the image. A final photo is taken.
Image manipulation:
Decided to add the Turkey Vulture to the photo. Turkey vultures have gotten common around here for some reason, living in the hills above Morgan Park. Occasionally you'll find them sitting in a tree a dozen feet or so above the ground. They look odd sitting in a tree, and make sure you don't threaten them, they have a unique way of defending them selves. They force strong stomach acids in your direction.
Before the explosion of Scanners,Photoshop and other image manipulation tools, I used to do collages, often using Ephemera such as this. Finding ways to isolate areas that i wanted to capture was a challenge for me back then- often leaving me frustrated with the final result.
Due to todays "Snow Day" in Chicago, and not being able to safely;y drive to my studio (and back) i chose to go through some older files- and ran across these beauties, that I thought I'd share w/ my flickr homies!
Enjoy!

“A special place in my portfolio is taken by a sub-series which I call Transformations. In this work my fascination for rhythm is also the central theme, but the origin of these images is usually not a single shot from existing buildings. It can be a great exercise to create new worlds by re-using or combining different images. Sometimes it is a subtle change of color that changes everything, but also more radical image manipulation open new possibilities.” Transformations: Reeling In The Years by Paul Brouns (¾)
two variations of Amazing Circles, inset back into an altered version of the feather details photo they were made from..
There were some layered duplicates of the two circles, set to blend differently after using the radial blur filter .. all in Photoshop.. two separate macro images of the peacock feather edge were used and color-altered separately, using Hue/Saturation layers.
The starry night was made using photoshops Noise filter, altered at different stages using the Threshold image adjustment, blurring with Gaussian Blur, then adding more noise.
I followed the procedure, first, as outlined here: brilliantdays.com/archives/2005/10/how_to_create_a.php ,
and in the flickr Amazing Circles group: www.flickr.com/groups/amazingcircles/discuss/116859/
I Am using the basic wondrous polar coordinates transformations as beautiful in and of themselves, but also as starting points for grounding them in their origins and/or creating new relationships for them.
The AS exam was on Image Manipulation. As part of my artist based developments i created a set of images covered in paint which could then be printed and painted over to distort what's 2D and 3D and what's printed and painted- relating to artist Sophie Derrick.
