I have been walking past this timber shed for 18 months and only today, with the help of overnight rain, has it revealed its true secrets to me. The ageing plywood is breaking down, and in the process is seemingly revealing the nature of the forest, and life itself.
This image... started life as a rather bland photograph. Right away, that tells you this is a post-processing experiment... rather than a 'pure photograph'. You know... sometimes you just have to play!
Mostly blown out, overcast day. OK... completely blow out the sky. Distracting tone and shape behind the branch and leaves. Fine... minimize it. Lifeless, desaturated leaves. Well... THAT'S not the fall I know and love... so goose it... warm it up... make it pop against the cooler middle background tone. Then go back and OVERdo it. =) And while I'm at it... why not apply a stock Photoshop filter (paint daubs) to it... feels like sharpening... only more 'artsy'.
Then step away from the Mac. Go downstairs and pour a nice, refreshing Diet Coke. Check the mail. Empty the dishwasher. Come back to the office. Look at it... like it was the first time... what does it feel like to me?
Feels like... autumn.
Done. =)

Whatever this is... it's larger and more detailed on white...
A little bokeh and some light. A artsy departure from the standard flower images but fun to take and a challenge to capture. The images taken with the lens physically detached and focused with the eye piece. Something of a throw back to manual photography in a digital age.
This is the 2nd of 4 photos I took Monday evening as a storm passed over my house. The storm passed right at sunset. The clouds from the thunderstorm combined with the setting sun and created some beautiful colors and cloud patterns. I wanted to give these images an abstract feel so I pushed my processing a bit to exaggerate the colors and patterns.

I couldn't keep my hands off it. Stylish and super comfy. Too bad the price reflected all those things. Still dreamy, though.
This was at the shop where we bought the new/old sofa. I will be going back again, no doubt.
Her eyes looked different.
Strange.
Alien.
He kissed her forehead again. There was a kind of joyful bliss in these lazy days lying on the old mattress comforter they had placed on the floor. Like nothing mattered. Love, he guessed, made you forget the word outside the gaze of your love one.
He was happy, but people weren’t interested in happiness, or at least not for long. The congratulations and well wishing that began their journey now took an almost scornful tone. ‘What are the two love birds up to now?’ ‘Oh God.’ And “Vomit’ The amount some friend were vomiting across social media it was a surprise that they weren’t dehydrating themselves to death.
“Mom wants us to go to marriage counseling?” She momentarily averted he look.
“Why?” this was there summer of love, although summer had bled into autumn, winter and now spring.
“It’s what you do I suppose,” she smiled, “The first year is supposed to be hard.”
“But its not hard for us,” he scrutinized her upside down eyes, looking for a clue to this new topic of conversation, “Right sweet?”
He pondered as he studied the details of her eyes; why, if the eyes were the windows of the soul, did we ever need to ask confirmation from anybody? A near glance should tell you most, a long loving look and you should be able to write volumes. Did we need to hear it? Were the ears the nervous two year olds of the soul, ‘do you love me? Yes? Okay then’. It was a playful thought, amusing him with its irrationality.
“No love, its not hard.” She pulled him into an upside down kiss, his ears relaxing having heard their affirmation he relaxed again, “but we should go.”
“Why?” he sat up, breaking the quiet comfiness of the afternoon.
“Because Mom wants us to go.” her answer stupefied him, He pushed himself onto his feet, already the bliss of the afternoon was fading.
“I should do some work.” He crossed the small space of their studio apartment, to his laptop, lifting its lid and logging on.
“Don’t be like that.” She sat frustratingly cross-legged on the mat.
He smiled back at her but the moment was passed, summer was drawing to a close even as it dawned across the hemisphere.
Work. He inwardly smiled, irrationality had been fun, it felt warm and good, but now was the time of work.

Looking down from the top gantry on the Clydebank Titan Crane
Everything seemed fine with the magnificent views from on top of the famous John Brown Engineering Shipyard maritime crane , now a tourist attraction , you will eventually look down through the mesh gantry and realise what height you are at and it feels a bit disconcerting but worth the trip. A minibus drives you round to the crane and you are taken up via a lift.
Take a look at this link:
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is a yearly festival of hot air balloons that takes place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States during early October. The Balloon Fiesta is a nine-day event, and has over 500 balloons each year. The event is the largest hot air balloon festival in the world.
Use red/blue glasses for best effect.
Anaglyph 3D is the name given to the stereoscopic 3D effect achieved by means of encoding each eye's image using filters of different (usually chromatically opposite) colors, typically red and cyan. Anaglyph 3D images contain two differently filtered colored images, one for each eye. When viewed through the "color-coded" "anaglyph glasses", each of the two images reaches one eye, revealing an integrated stereoscopic image.

P1090072 Thought I'd do something different to capture The Flyer and this was it. Caught this on a rainy evening. Just playing around with the LX3.
My lunch was delayed today as I had to first get a picture of this Mineola Tangerine with a great deal of character.
Mineolas are just about my favorite fruit.
Before 2 days I found on the wall of old theatre this interesting abstract.
-No photoshop-
If you have fantasy as me,you can see here lot of interesting things...
Can you see it?
Taken in Prague,Czech republic.
Still playing with ideas around the Dream sculpture in my home town of St.Helens,merseyside,UK.Called the Dream and by Juame Plensa,Dream stands around 30 metres high on a site where the old Bold Colliery once stood,seemingly to look to the future of not just the site but the whole area :) .
Plenty of info on wikipedia about it.I was trying to tie in old and new here,as St.Helens is world renowned for its glass production by Pilkingtons,so using a glass mirror seemed to fit for me (plus thay havent landscaped the area yet so its not quite as pretty as it will be! ;) ).
Shot done as is,the only photoshop work being the texture and border,
Chris.
PS.,thanks to my wife Gill for coming up and holding the mirror :)

Please look at these in large view. Cheers.
I'm trying something different today.
Different from the mini planets things, but not totally unlike them. It's just another twisted panorama.
The Mandy Budan print that I bought earlier this year. I simply loved her style of work, it keeps changing as you go closer or step back from the art. The small one is a magnet and can be wiped clean. I must add that I later found out that she is an award winning Canadian artist!
In addition to these two items that I bought, Mandy sent a free print of one of her other works. I was so overwhelmed by her generosity and hope to buy an original work from her too one day.
Julie got this one right...it DOES look like a conga line! LOL! The great egret was expressing his dislike of me getting too close. you can see his mouth open in protest! The egrets seem to be more wary. Had a blast taking these shots!
No offense, Folks, but if you invite me to groups with mandatory commenting, I won't post there. I just don't have time. I prefer to look through my contacts' pics at my leisure and comment on a bunch of them at a time. (If I haven't looked at yours for a while, it's because I have over 1500 contacts!)
If you have a pic you seriously want in Explore, or want to STAY there, feel free to flickrmail me with a link and I'll be glad to comment. You all keep me hopping with YOUR comments, and I do SO appreciate them and you.
