Book of Kings, Shirin Nesh (right panel of triptych)
Bernard Berenson had some strong opinions about studying art from photographs. Photography gives us a false sense of scale and in color photography a idea of the original skewered by the photographer or printer. When looking at photos we fill in the blanks.
This is Gray's Arch located in Red River Gorge in Slade, KY.
Slake Justice stands in to the lower right to give a little idea of the scale of how large this feature was.

I have a customer working on a "Upscale Cabin" Themed Room Box who needed a sofa, I probably should have asked how literal she wanted to go with it, you know Moose or Bear prints for the pillows instead of the silk I used. We'll see if you likes them.......
"A strictly nocturnal and arboreal species. It spends its days in a characteristic coil over a tree branch with its head perched at the center. At night, it will remain coiled on its branch. But extends its head downwards. Curled as if about to strike. It will hold still in this position, waiting for prey to approach directly below. Prey is grasped with the long frontal teeth, pulled in and constricted to asphyxiation." Source: Wikipedia
This is straight out of the camera apart from minor contrast and toning. I was pretty amazed how it looked on the display.

This amazing HO Gauge Model Railway layout was at Tonbridge (Kent, UK) Model Railway Show (20/21Feb10). Apparently freight cars were floated across the river on barges assisted by tug boats. This model depicts that operation which ceased in about 1983. The detail was amazing.
The Barges looked like they would float and had done so for years!

Meet Ann DeCarlo, or shall I san Ann Duncan, her stage name back in the day. Miss Duncan performed first in Montreal and later in New York City. She was a singer, a dancer, and a choreographer -- more importantly she was Aunti Ann. Love you and miss you, Aunti (Ann DeCarlo 1916-2007)

This is a work in progress shot. My goal is to not be able to see the black background but just have light gently illuminating the subject but I am a long way off from achieving that at the moment so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
These scales were a wedding present to me in 1982 (showing my age!) and even though I got rid of my husband (not literally), I kept hold of the scales...!
I have read a whole article this week on the 'beauty of shooting in RAW' in Digital Camera magazine and have practised some suggested adjustments on this image.
Shinsei trucks in various claimed scales from 1:128 up to 1:53 – see notes on the photo for more information.
THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH FLICKR ... The individual photos of the flat bed transporter were not appearing in any search of its tags, but it was 'public'. Changing to 'private' and then back to 'public' seems to have restored its searchability!
This a link to the photos of it anyway: www.flickr.com/photos/adrianz-toyz/48122328323
Since this was taken I have a couple more, a Freightliner car transporter set, and the Kenworth as a box van plus a couple of tankers. Search 'Shinsei' on my photostream to see pics of all these individually.
