Following a couple of my photographer friends into a Nottinghamshire restaurant I heard them talking to someone. One of the waitresses had spotted their cameras and asked if they were going to take her picture. They immediately volunteered me. I quickly said I would if she’d agree to be a stranger for me. I then told her about the project and Sabina said of course she would.
I photographed Sabina behind a counter, which was where she was standing when I met her. I liked the mix of daylight coming in from both sides and the artificial light of the building’s interior. I just asked her to move a little so her face wasn’t in shadow. I think the combination of the cool and warm light works well together.
Sabina told me she had worked as a waitress for sixteen years and the best thing about the job was meeting people. After I photographed her, she said I was her new best friend.
I asked Sabina what she couldn’t live without and she quickly said her children.
Sabina’s guilty pleasure was eating sweets.
Thank-you Sabina for being great fun to photograph and for saying yes to being a stranger for me. I hope you like your portrait.
This picture is number 323 in my 100 Strangers project, yes, I’ve decided to do a fourth round. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

This is what passes for modern industry - when the township is cleared, the Forestry moves in with areas fenced-off for protection of commercial interests

Strobist: Three profoto strip-softboxes were used on equal power to the left, right, and bellow the globe to give a rim light to the globe and hand. Then the shutter was dragged slightly to pickup the lightning.
Actually, Osmoderma barnabita (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) is one of the several species separated from a single one (O. eremita). Found and photographed in its habitat, in a mixed forest with old oaks in Western Hungary.
Shot with the Sigma 15mm ƒ/2.8 fisheye lens at its closest focusing point. The foreground lit by a diffused twinflash. Check out an other photo in the comment!
Getting an acceptable illumination in such a dark forest still needs some development.
Product Placement..
I quite like Isle of Jura whisky... not necessarily on the rocks though...
This shot took quite a bit of work to make - juggling a 24mm wide-angle prime lens in a burn requires very careful placement of the tripod to take advantage of the leading-lines of water and rocks.
Having placed the bottle I hid slightly out of frame to the right while a friend pushed the shutter; during the course of four 20s pixel-shift exposures I splashed back and forth through the scene manually firing a flash gun over the bottle and stones (1/8th power, diffused, with reflector card out to mask the flash itself). .
Post-processing is mostly in Affinity Photo to tone, soften and highlight the bottle further, followed by Snapseed for more glow.
I also tried the same idea using a very wide aperture - around f/1.8 - but that did not help lead the eye toward the bottle and its orange nectar contents; the subject distance meant that even at tjat aperture the DoF extended too far into the waterfall. The combination of soft-light blurs and gradients and masks in post-processing is more effective.

Protaetia ungarica (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae).
This is the typical view how we usually find this species. They often are much more plugged into the buds or stems where feeding the juice of the plant.
Photographed with the EF100/2.8 macro lens fixed on tripod. Natural light was reflected from the bottom. Shooting data: ƒ/16, 1/5s, ISO 400.
Another shot was taken where natural light mixed with diffused flashlight. Check out the first comment!

This came out quite nice and Hopperesque i thought

These series of 3 photos from this year's PDN Photo Plus Expo were shot on three different rolls of film, all horribly underexposed, and all pushed 1 stop in development. Processing handled by Miller's Professional Imaging.
Your choices of film stock are:
Ektar 100, Portra 400, and Portra 800
Can you guess which one is which? ^__^

Looking across the mouth of the River Teign from Shaldon toward Teignmouth as the first chinks of light start to appear through the clouds
Salamandra salamandra (Caudata, Salamandridae).
Wide angle photo taken with Canon EOS 5DII + Sigma 15/2.8 EX fisheye lens at ƒ/18, 1/13 sec., ISO 400. Illuminated with a soft boxed twin flash. Slightly cropped image.
That's a normal-sized tyre on the ground. The gap in the distance through which the light shines is quite large enough to walk.
Another unusual view in the caves next to Bow-Fiddle rock.
Ameles spallanzania (Mantodea, Mantidae). Size: 20 mm.
Canon EOS 5D Mark II + Sigma 180/3.5 macro lens on tripod. Mixed light shots taken in the early evening shortly after sunset in Croatia. The subject was lit with a diffused flash at reduced power. Exposure data: f/9, 1/25 sec., ISO 100.
On Sunday 15 October 2023, His Royal Highness Prince Christian of Denmark turns 18. The Royal Palace, in collaboration with the country's municipalities, will invite up to 200 young people from the Commonwealth to participate in the celebration, as each of Denmark's municipalities as well as Greenland and the Faroe Islands will have the opportunity to select two 18-year-olds to participate in the gala. Ballerup chose these two young people, Jora and Tobias, because they wanted to send one of each gender, and two young people who contribute to local cultural life. Other municipalities chose to select the young people through applications, and still others chose a pure lottery.

Strobist info: 16" beauty dish (AB800) overhead to the left. AB800 with 10 degree grid directed at the grey background. Flashlight + snoot + pink gel directed at the bracelet.
This is not a composite. The red lines are not photoshopped in but a result of using both strobes (to freeze the model), continuous light (to illuminate the bracelet) and long exposure (while shaking the camera).
