I like the placement of Yasmine's hands here. I think they frame her face nicely. I also wanted a tighter picture to highlight her make up. I like the expression here. It feels intimate and also a little vulnerable.

Having been seriously diverted on my way home from the M6 I found myself passing the Bull Ring in Birmingham. I stopped at the lights and quickly wound the window down to grab this shot.
A couple of thoughts to go with this shot. One, the Summaron is a slow lens but it's still ok to shoot at night running film at 1600. It really doesn't change too much between f/3.5 to f/8, so it's no biggie shooting it wide open. Secondly, it's always worthwhile to have my camera at hand no matter where I go.

Out with my photographic club last Monday evening, and in somewhat sombre mood, going by my photos. Venue St Bartholomew's Church, Tardebigge - a long time favourite. Just a 50mm lens on the camera , so no crepuscular rays and concentrate on the relatively close. Some of the founding fathers of the needle industry Redditch was once famous for are buried in this churchyard - such as William Smallwood.
This image is done with numerous photo manipulations and digital effects ranging from an Android 4.1 smartphone photo of one of my tattoos, to the inclusion of graphic elements taken from a digital copy of recent X-rays I had taken when I lacerated my middle finger earlier this year.

I imagine this midnight moment's forest:
Something else is alive
Beside the clock's loneliness
And this blank page where my fingers move.
Through the window I see no star:
Something more near
Though deeper within darkness
Is entering the loneliness:
Cold, delicately as the dark snow
A fox's nose touches twig, leaf;
Two eyes serve a movement, that now
And again now, and now, and now
Sets neat prints into the snow
Between trees, and warily a lame
Shadow lags by stump and in hollow
Of a body that is bold to come
Across clearings, an eye,
A widening deepening greenness,
Brilliantly, concentratedly,
Coming about its own business
Till, with a sudden sharp hot stink of fox
It enters the dark hole of the head.
The window is starless still; the clock ticks,
The page is printed.

A lesson in pano shooting...when I held the camera vertically to take these shots I didn't give much thought to what I might lose along the edges once the photos were stitched together. This is my first attempt at a vertical pano so it didn't occur to me to over shoot the scene. In spite of the voids after cropping, I think they came out pretty cool so I thought I'd share them anyway.
Photoshop Elements does a pretty nice job at stitching these together providing you give it the goods to work with from the start. It also gives you choices regarding the type of pano you would like it to create. This one has a slight rounded appearance. Notice the buildings appear to be curved. It is called "Cylindrical". There are other choices shown prior to this one. I experimented with all the pano effects Elements offered but these three are the best. In some of the truly quirky pano choices it didn't handle the buildings very well and things got a little weird.
The sculpture is named "Transcending". It consists of two 59-foot high stainless steel arcs encircled by split boulders supporting a bronze relief of scenes from Detroit's labor history. The work is a gift from Detroit's labor unions to the city in celebration of its 300th birthday.
Transcending is a collaborative work by artists David Barr and Sergio De Giusti. Barr's gleaming arc-like stainless steel sculpture complements De Giusti’s bronze reliefs mounted on cut granite stones The work is an interpretation of historic labor events encompassing the symbolic circle of Transcending, representing the never-ending cycle of work.
Note of interest: The building center frame, One Woodward Avenue, was built by Michigan Consolidated Gas in 1962. The architect, Minoru Yamasaki also designed the World Trade Center. The restaurant on the 26th floor appropriately named "Top of the Flame", was illuminated in yellow at night and was a 'go to' place for an awesome dinner and a great view.
I hope you enjoy these experimental shots. Please view large to see people, birds, details.
This one is completely the fault of Ursula Vernon, after seeing a footnote to a blog post of hers.
"A thought, in case anyone is interested, is swathed completely in cloth from head to toe, and looks rather like the offspring of a tragic liasion between a Ringwraith and a jawa."
Me, after a little trim by the GF.
It has been around 100 degrees here in Reno for some time now.

"Although Cherry Blossoms can put up such a spectacular show, their existence is brief. This is the main reason why the Japanese people invests time and effort to vigilantly track down Cherry Blossoms so as not to miss a second of its passing time on earth. Cherry Blossoms therefore, are a reminder of our humanity - our mortality. Buddhism’s concept of “mono no aware" teaches the same thing. Like Cherry Blossoms’ cycle of exceptional beauty followed by a quick death, a human being’s life can be given and taken at any moment. During World War 2, Japanese pilots on suicide missions (Kamikazes) painted the figure of the Cherry Blossom on their planes, while some brought branches of these flowers to accompany them in death. Human life is not everlasting. Humanity’s evanescence, epitomized by Cherry Blossoms, reminds us that life is too short to squander away. We have to relish every breathing moment we have left and live life to the fullest."
