even up close it is entirely indistinct
This may be the most exciting photograph I've ever made. Not for you the viewer, but for me the eager amateur, always out to capture this intangible thing that I cannot put into words but... at the risk of angering the gods of superstition who punish the too-self-satisfied... this is fucking IT, man.
Inspired my newest photographic love, Miroslav Tichy. He has been described by some as the consummate outsider artist; as a madman, a hermit, a recluse. He spent many years in prisons and mental hospitals (mostly on account of his anti-Communist activism). Born in the 20s, he started as a painter and switched to photography in midlife. He photographed women, almost exclusively, and almost always surreptitiously. "He would wander the streets of Kyjov," says an article about him, "camera under his sweater, and then quickly whip it out - usually to take a photograph of a woman."
Tichy himself describes his photography as almost incidental. "I never did anything but pass the time," he says in a documentary. "Because I had set out for the town and had to do something there, I took snapshots. I didn't determine anything. The time I spent on my walk determined what I would photograph."
I cannot tell you exactly what it is I love about his images. I suppose it is their indistinct qualities; their vagueness - which, for me as a viewer, is an invitation to interpretation. Give me a straight-up photo of an object, and I may find it interesting enough to say "Oh, that's good." But show me something I can't quite make out; can't quite get my head around... and I can happily stare at, and ponder it for hours and hours.
That's the kind of image I dream of some day making. And... (again, with the nod to my personal gods of superstition)... I finally feel as though I might have found the entrance to the path I've been seeking all this time.

Something was missing from this shot. I had to find a cherry to put on the cake. The pose was strong, I had the colors I wanted. I was missing movement.
Fortunately, I was able to play with my settings and the wind, giving this sumptuous photograph.

Typical Cliched View of Big Ben and the London Underground Sign shot the day I bought the Fish Eye Lens.
The highlights were blown on Big Ben and I needed to test Lightroom's ability to recover details . . . well, that's my excuse anyway!
I haven't got to grips with Lightroom's handling of colors (far too many sliders controlling color) so the ones I've processed don't "pop" as usual.
I am also looking for a preset that calibrates my 20D and 5D for Lightroom; I recall that I had to do this with RawShooter Premium as well before I got the colors I liked.
Cinematic toy photography, captured with a 2x anamorphic lens combined with a 100mm macro prime, for a dual focus setup.

Quadratisch. Mache ich noch seltener als hochkant. Allerdings, .... hier passt es. Und die anderen Varianten eben nicht. ;-)

Pologne 2015 - Jour 2, Musée National de Varsovie.
Quand j'ai vu cette rangée de statues, avec la première qui regardait plus ou moins en direction des autres, j'ai tout de suite pensé à faire cette photo. Malheureusement, le faible éclairage de cette salle du musée ne m'a pas rendue la tâche facile... J'espère tout de même que cette image vous plaira!
Je l'ai traitée pour notre blog photographie : www.lafauteaugraph.blogspot.fr

Harrier XZ991 stands outside a hanger at RAF Cosford at the end of the 2025 Cosford Air Show. Fortunately, the rather large and obtrusive banner had begun to fall off the hanger door, making it a little easier to tidy up the background...
Aircraft: Royal Air Force Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.3 XZ991.
Location: RAF Cosford (EGWC), Shropshire.
Marina Bay, Singapore
Reached this place super early as I wanted to shoot this for some time but always someone shooting at this spot. Want to incorporate the complete reflection before the Merlion starts to spew water.
Also, I will try to include some settings from now on.
