... but try waking up every morning and loving the world all over again. That's what takes a real hero ~ Story People
I'm not sad - but it's Sad Bokeh Friday so I photographed the rising sun through the dead branches of the almond tree in our garden. The tree isn't quite dead but it's dying I think ... which is sad.
I've wanted to use this quote for a while - I think it's funny in a bleak way and also quite true - so I chose it today because being out in the garden reminded me of the heroic feat of renewal each of us undertakes daily.
To make it look a little *sadder*, I adjusted colour in photoshop ... Even Sadder On Black
Der Himmel über Berlin (1987) or Wings Of Desire is one of my all-time favourite movies. Directed by Wim Wenders, it is the story of an angel who watches and records the life of the humans, and gradually comes to the decision to become human so he can experience rather than observe life, even with all its pain and suffering. I first saw Wings of Desire about 20 years ago when it screened during the Festival Of Perth, and I was really touched by it; as I get older it means even more to me.
This is another photo of the angel at Fremantle Cemetery. Thanks to
Borealnz, and A Million To One, and Les brumes for their beautiful textures
Happy Monday Blues!
A real experiment in PP this. This is a shot of water from a fine mister spray bottle, two images overlaid, and then 'warped' in Lightroom by applying the lens profile of a fisheye lens to distort and stretch the edges. No end result in mind when I started this was just playing around with some images than were initially just playing with sunlight through the spray.
He is a pandit (priest) and was sitting on the Abu road station. Trains came and went but he was completely absorbed in reading his book (most prob it was some religious scripture).
This from my first few shots using 55-200 lens :)
Ladies and gentlemen, the starting lineup for the foosball match of the century!
Strobist: Each frame was shot with a tightly snooted Vivitar 285HV over each player's head to look like a spotlight. The images were combined in PS using the Layers->Lighten mode.

Processat: capa original + capa desenfoc gaussià en modo enfosquir + capa desenfoc gaussià en modo subexposar color, tot amb la finalitat de difuminar el cos i conservar la mirada.
We parked near this farmyard while we were visiting Binham Priory recently. The golden orange roof slates really cuaght my eye and stood out well against the rural background. Looks better viewed on black if you have a mo! Thanks to Kerstin Frank Art for the canvas texture

Apologies for falling behind with Flickr - I'm struggling to find energy when I get home from work, which is pretty hectic - hopefully I'll acclimatise soon ... in the meantime please forgive me as I take longer to get round to visit streams - HBW everyone!!
Today, I'm thinking about my father, Tony, because it is his birthday. I always had a rather formal relationship with my father. He seemed a fairly distant and intimidating figure. He was often away from home with his work. And, when he was home he was often working in his study. Then my parents divorced so I saw even less of him.
He was born in London and grew up there during the Second World War. He had a lovely English accent. And a very English sense of humour - he loved The Goons, in particular. He migrated to Australia with his parents, when he was a teenager. He attended university in NSW and then started work in the IT industry, where he remained for the rest of his working life. He was passionate about IT and worked to support the introduction to Australia of many technologies that are now taken for granted, e.g., personal computers, ATMs, eftpost. In 2001, he was awarded the Pearcey Medal in recognition of his life-time commitment to the Australian IT industry.
Apart from his passion for his work, he also loved music and played the piano. He was a keen gardener, particularly interested in growing bonsai trees from the seedlings he'd collect on his daily jog [He was a fitness fanatic]. His love of the outdoors was his down-fall: he died of melanoma in February 2005.
My only memento of him is the ball-point pen in the top photo, which was part of a set with a fountain pen that he used all his life. The bottom photo is of Brad's laptop. I chose to combine the two photos because computers and his pen are the things I associate most strongly with my dad - apart from the smell of Old Spice.
I think it's somehow fitting that my current job is in a project related to a new data management program and I share my office with IT guys. I'm pretty sure I inherited my finickiness, maths ability and logical streak from my dad [I wish I'd inherited his passion for fitness ... lol].

23 mars 2012, bureau, heure de midi … Une envie de faire le tour du quartier, près du parc Léopold à Bruxelles.
Ils viennent d’installer les grues sur la place Jean Rey pour le futur gros chantier immobilier.
En levant les yeux, je vois un superbe reflet rouge dans la force du bleu des fenêtres de ce bâtiment administratif.
Mais comment rendre cela … ? Très difficile à cette époque en 2012, à mes débuts photos.
Incroyable de voir les dizaines de centaines de photos qui dorment sur notre disque dur …

23 March 2012, my office, lunch time. I wanted to go for a walk, near the Leopold parc in Brussels.
They have just installed the big cranes on the Jean Rey square for the future yard of luxury flats.
Looking up, I saw a strong red reflection superimposed in the blue windows of an office building.
How to capture this? Not easy at that time in 2012, it was my beginning in photography.
Incredible these tens of hundreds of photo which sleep on my hard drive.

These are some of my favorite presets. I have never purchased a preset in my life, I have fun making my own and have developed my own workflow. I have a preset for just about everything, low light, backlight, exposure, contrast, and so on! Each preset not only changes skin tone, but also changes the colors and contrast of the rest of the image, making it very fun to edit and process each image just the way I like it for the shot. One thing I never do or have done is touch my subjects face or eyes in any way. I do not go in and smooth skin or change eye colors and so fourth. The beauty of the subject is truly untouched in my images. I really do stick to the natural in natural light photography not just for lighting, but for facial features and so on! Here are a few I just wanted to share as I am working through this session :)
Last weekend I played around with some flashes, 2xYN560II and 2xSoligor42DA to be precise as well as with three sets of Lee gel samples. I will upload this week a few series of photos to illustrate what I have done.
All photos are SOOC, so no postprocessing except of the frame, no cropping and no photoshoping. It's just to show what you can achieve if you use the Lee gel samples together with some speedlights.
Enjoy! And many thanks in advance for leaving a comment or adding to your favorite.
In this lightning setup we have the same as in the previous photo with one additional Soligor 42DA which enlightens the blooms foreground

Strangely, big cats always seem to pose looking into the distance to the right when I want to photograph them:
Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper
I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust...

With the Alcatraz, Bay Bridge & San Fran bay as the back drop, Grand Princess is now steaming ahead full speed as she approaches the Golden Gate Bridge.
Some coastal areas have one or more sets of dunes running parallel to the shoreline directly inland from the beach.
it was difficult to deal with light pollution environment .
sometimes we can't control the environment but we can control our post processing
"Life is like a box of chocolates. Cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you’re stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down till there’s nothing left to eat. Sure, once in a while there’s a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee, but they’re gone too fast and taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. And if you’re desperate enough to eat those all you’re left with is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers." - CGB Spender
On our trip to Toronto, Matt and I lucked into finding these Sideshow X-Files figures at Silver Snail Comics on Queen Street. I've wanted them for a while but online they cost a fortune. I bought Mulder and Matt bought the Cigarette Smoking Man (CGB Spender). I shot this last night as an experiment. I can't wait to take them outdoors and get a fog machine or something. :D
Setup: Two black t-shirts draped on a table and box. SB-600 shot from behind and through some burning incense wafted around in the air. I had Matt hold a small lantern camera right to light his face a little so it wasn't just a solid silhouette. Post-processed a bunch.

Thank you!!! Brad and I were stunned when we got home and read all your messages of support!! I am so lucky to have such kind and supportive friends! I am very grateful - more than I can express.
I will visit all your streams ASAP. I apologize that I'm taking longer than I expected to settle back into a routine and I'm so behind with everything!
I haven't had time to take photos since returning to Perth so I'm cheating by using photos I took in Adelaide: The window display of the the Antique Market, Grote Street, Adelaide for this week's Pretty Pink Tuesday theme: Spring, and Pretty Pinkisms theme: Happy Easter!
So HPPT everyone!!!
Multiple images merged into one.
I've never really been fascinated by birds, leave alone something of nondescript coloring sinisterly hovering overhead, like something out of "Omen". However that was then. Ever since I've acquired my mechanical 3rd-eye, I've begun to "watch" birds casually (feels like "stalking", sometimes) - and for the common ones in my neighborhood, I am learning much simply by observing them endlessly
As for the Common Brown Hawk (CHEEL in Bengali), I find they are, by most counts, gentle and non-confrontational. And, instead of finding them ominous, I find them incredibly graceful as they soar the farthest, longest and swoop down with incredible speed and precision.
This is my 3rd upload on flickr where I have merged several shots of the bird's graceful gliding movements in one frame.
