postprocessing by MeckiM@c

Real kitsch ... ;-) ... Just for fun ...

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.

…it’s creeping closer

La mirada magnética

The magnetic gaze

Der magnetische Blick

 

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].

Strangely, big cats always seem to pose looking into the distance to the right when I want to photograph them:

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!!!

 

A garden visitor on the crepe myrtle.

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 :)

Some coastal areas have one or more sets of dunes running parallel to the shoreline directly inland from the beach.

"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.

Voici une des photos que je n’aurais jamais espérée. Rassembler mes parents, dans leur naturel qui a toujours été simple, avant qu’ils ne partent.

 

D’autant plus inespéré qu’avec une vie comme la mienne qui ne fût pas très rectiligne, il ne m’a pas toujours été facile de faire comprendre mes choix, mes attentes.

 

Il aura fallu de mon côté beaucoup plus de maturité, et pour eux des accidents de santé importants, pour que nous puissions petit à petit parler, sans crainte d’un jugement trop catégorique.

 

Il existe un moment dans la vie où finalement il nous revient d’être les parents de nos parents, quand nous devons veiller sur eux beaucoup plus.

 

Dans cet esprit d’ouverture que je recherchais avec eux, je leur ai parlé encore une fois de mon hobby photo et du bien qu’il me procurait à plusieurs niveaux … Aussi de mes souhaits et de mes visions …

 

Mes parents me soutiennent maintenant, m’accompagnent maintenant partout où je fais des photos …

 

Cette photo est la première avec mon nouvel appareil D5300, et une nouvelle acquisition dans la famille de mes objectifs.

 

Lors d’une visite à mes parents pour leur montrer mes nouvelles acquisitions, j’ai eu l’immense privilège de rassembler papa et maman sur la même photo, chez eux, dans leur naturel … 149 années de vie à eux deux, 75 pour lui et 74 pour elle.

 

Une photo qui me tient à cœur énormément, en premier car j’ai encore la chance de les avoir tous les deux, et parce que je vois dans leur yeux le plaisir qu’ils ont à voir leur fils enfin heureux dans un hobby. Ils l’auront vu de leur vivant …

Here is a photo that I never expected. Take a shot of my parents, in their natural behavior, that has always been simple, before they leave.

 

Even more unexpected that with a life like mine, which was not very straight, it has not always been easy for me to explain my choices, my expectations.

 

I had to become a lot more mature, and on their side many heavy health accidents, so that we can gradually speak without a fear of categorical judgment.

 

There is a time in life when we finally play the role of parent of our parents, when we have to take care of them a lot much.

 

This is in this spirit of openness I was looking for with them, that I explained them once again my hobby for photography and all the benefit I gain at various levels from this practice ... We alo exchange on my wishes and my visions.

 

My parents support me now, and they accompany me wherever I take pictures.

 

This is the first picture with my new D5300 camera, and a new acquisition in my lenses family.

 

During a visit to my parents to show them my new acquisitions, I had the privilege to gather mum and dad on the same photo, at home in their natural environment... 149 years of life between them, 75 for him and 74 for her.

 

A photo very emotional, first because I still have the chance to have both of them, and because I see in their eyes they have the pleasure to see their son finally happy in a hobby. They will have seen this in their lifetime.

Just me playing around in PS with a shot that didn't really work out how I wanted it to. I had thought at the time I took it how I wished I had my holga with me instead.

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.

This shot needed some rather heavy editing. The girl's skin tone blended too well with the wood paneling behind her, so i Gaussian blurred the background, and boosted the contrast on her skin. I also put a semi-transparent border between her and her surroundings. Does this work?
