When a star or sun collapses it is called a death star or super nova.... this is my version/play with the Sunflower.

--------------------------------------------------

This is the final image in my Sunflower study series:

I tried an approach to show different angles, both untouched as well as processed concepts. I was trying to show my "seeing artistically" when shooting.

Hope you enjoyed!

My dear friend Anke reminded me of this beautiful song - an ageless song.

4 minutes before sunset. The golden rim of the setting sun picks up the blue sky and white clouds. But it's the colors reflected in the calm sea that make this photo special. Enjoy!

Photo taken from the bluffs near the Mar Vista trailhead, just south of New San Simeon.

A windy beach :).

Just had to post one more image of my favourite backlit sheep on Bodmin Moor, as the lighting approaching sunset was so good. In tighter for this shot, and she posed beautifully looking directly to camera....probably thinking, what is this idiot crawling towards me doing !!! Awful weather again in Cornwall today.

Life Study

In John Rylands Library, Deansgate, Manchester UK

For those who set eyes on Deansgate's The John Rylands Research Institute and Library for the first time, 'library' might not be the first word that comes to mind. This masterpiece of Victorian Gothic architecture looks more like a castle or cathedral.

When John Rylands died in 1888, he was one of Manchester's most successful industrialists with a personal fortune of £2.75million. The library was commissioned in 1890 by his wife Enriqueta Rylands in memory of her late husband.

This world class collection includes the oldest known piece of the New Testament, the St John Fragment. Other treasures of the vast, varied collection include magnificent illuminated medieval manuscripts and a 1476 William Caxton edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.

I hope to find time for a lith print :D

A new flower for me - the African Lily or Agapanthus. The flower heads are big, full of flowers and rather drooping and shaggy - like a very bad hair day! So I took a few of the small flowers, and used the sunlight streaming through the window.

There'a a window, some bokeh and plenty of textures - so ....

As in image 1, this time wide open. The image is actually over-exposed (which makes the inner space of the flower "glow").

Study

I converted the pictures of this series to black and white. But a few of them I processed in color, just out of curiosity.

Please find the articles about this photo shoot in the blog section of the website. You can also find a selection of pictures of the Inner Core Project and motion studies in the “new work” section of the website. www.chris-r-photography.net

Oil study on canvas board

From :

www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst90508.html

A picturesque tall white-harled house on the north side of the junction between Back Causeway and The Cross in Culross (W FIfe), The Study dates from c.1610. This is said to be where Bishop Leighton of Dunblane (1611-84), who lived nearby in Bishop Leighton's House, composed his sermons. Built as a merchant's house, next to Culross Palace one of the finest in Culross, the building was acquired by the National Trust for Scotland in the 1930s. It was renovated by Ian G. Lindsay and Partners in 1959, winning a Civic Trust Award in 1962. The Study is now A-listed and is open to the public for guided tours.

The building is L-plan and comprises a three-storey main block, with a tower facing the street which rises higher. This contains a turnpike stair, with the upper stage corbelled out and containing the actual study. The orange pantiled roofs feature crow-stepped gables and catslide dormers. The windows to the front feature lattice leadwork and wooden shutters below, allowing the windows to open. Inside there are original fireplaces and timber panelling, while the beamed ceiling of the first-floor room is a reconstruction of the 1960s, brightly painted with fruit and flowers in homage to its 17th century forerunner.

“Two to three hours of studying,

Is good medicine for the soul,

I have tried this remedy,

It never grows old”

― Charmaine J. Forde
