Dreams
A dream of past times
A place known before knowing
A lost time regained.

Od lipog pomalo vedrog dana , uspija san napravit ovo čudovište od Splitskog porta.
Da nebude uvik sve lipo i krasno ?
Monday night: Rebecca Hart, at Rockwood Music Hall. I've missed her last few shows, solo and with her band The Sexy Children, so I'm glad to be here now, even though I can barely croak out a few sentences when the need arises.
She starts with a Tom Waits cover and a Tom Waits joke, and keeps me dazzled for a short, tight set.
Rockwood is particularly dark tonight; there's hardly ever any useful light where I need it. So I brace myself against chair and table and rest the camera on my forehead, looking like a nut job, no doubt, and shoot slow and grainy. This shot is at 1/20 of a second, way out of the comfort zone but sharp where it needs to be. Since the colors were a bit dingy, I went at it in Photoshop with more gusto than usual, and made it a little more like it looked in my head.
This is pretty much SOOC!! I used a Nikon 58mm + a extension tube on a Nikon Z6II. The wind was blowing which made it impossible for anything to be sharp at this magnification, but after I sat looking at the images I decided that I really liked the "accidental artistic creativeness" to them. Make lemonade out of lemons!!
Some views of Rock of Cashel leave a surreal impression.
Post processing in Photoshop involved a combination of tone mapping and the Orton effect (= multiplying a sharply focused and an out-of-focus copy of the same image).
If you are interested, here is the unmodified image:
Pentax Mz-S with Sima Soft Focus 100mm f2 @ f2. Shot on Arista Ultra 200 (expired 2015) metered at ISO 160. Developed in DK50 stock, 5 minutes @ 21C.
The liter of DK 50 had been mixed up in April, 2023, and had already processed 10 rolls of film - but it still had some kick left. Just picked an arbitrary development time and accepted the developer at the temp it was on the shelf.

Es ist zwar abgekühlt, aber an Schnee und richtigen Winter erinnere ich mich über Fotos, wie dieses.
We have no right winter yet, no snow... snowdrops are looking for flowering. This is a memory from another winter.
