OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Evening walk, I am surrounded by the dark and yet my path has been shown to be by the light.

Another old photo taken back in 2012 that was forgotten in the eternal depths of my external hard drive! :O

This is is an outtake from a year ago, some of you may remember a similar shot last winter. It was brought into present time by another attempt at split tone processing and as an addition to my square crop portfolio. It has a "processed feel" to it, but it certainly brought more details and sharpness into the result.

Walking on shiny ocean ice like this is actually pretty rare. Not to often is it cold enough, and when it is it only lasts until the first snowfall - then it's gone....

Lot's of snow here, and lovely winter scenery, after a week of too much work I'm busy going through the recent shots.....

I normalised this image, then gave it a split-tone effect. Both done with s/w I wrote myself in C#.

The Ferris Wheel at Southbank, Brisbane. It's funny when you post something so old (taken in April 2012) and you were into a phase (split-toning). I don't look back and hate it but I don't use it anymore either :)

EXPLORED (Mar 14, 2014, #288 and dropped at final resting place of #463). I kinda get how explore works, but I'll never be able to guess which image will make it. Although this is the 4th ever to make it, as I post in way too many groups and I'm surprised it even makes it for a part of the fay.

Split Tone shot of the Southport Pier

I don't know what kind of flower this was, but I think it was a sunflower. I've always liked the indeterminate nature of the point of focus and the layers of tone. I used a bellows attachment with a 80mm lens.

I mentioned a couple of posts back I had some exciting news coming soon. Well, I'm thrilled to announce I've achieved my first magazine front cover with the publication of 'Staccato' (elsewhere on my photostream) on the current December issue of Advanced Photographer. Inside I'm featured further in an eight page article with additional images, so if you're passing your local newsagent please at least have a browse..! Thank you again to all those of you who have contacted me showing your support and encouragement - it really does mean the world to me and I'm very appreciative of your kindness.

Typically, landscape photography can be a very lonely affair. I have no issue with this and have never made any secret of the fact that, while I occasionally enjoy the company of other photographers on a shoot, I'm equally as content left to my own devices. Add to this the solitary nature of processing photographs after the event, and it's a wonder any of us are able to strike and hold a conversation with anyone else! I've been very fortunate where magazines are concerned and am accumulating a small pile of local and national publications containing various shots of mine, some of which I'd submitted myself and some where I'd been approached directly. It's heartening to know that, as with internet forums like flickr, means of communication exist to allow us the opportunity to get our work in front of thousands of others. Some of this work will inevitably serve to fuel the inspiration of our peers - as our own creativity is enriched by the sharing of theirs.

What goes around comes around, and as a result new art is created.

"Grapple the truth, middle finger from the youth"

A wet-suit surfing enthusiast rides a wave at McKinley Beach, located along the north lakefront of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

(For general video footage of this sport try searching "great lakes wet-suit surfing" on YouTube.)

Southeastern Wisconsin is bordered on the east by Lake Michigan (one of the Great Lakes). Here, wave activity is moderate most of the time due to the prevailing winds, which are out of the west. Thus it is the other side of the Lake - the state of Michigan side - which more often experiences dramatic, ocean-scale turbulence. However, during late fall, winter, and early spring, the winds may occasionally switch direction and come out of the east. Such was the case on October 21, 2019. High winds through much of the day (and preceding night) created wild wave conditions such as shown here.
