For Flickr Friday's theme, "Time Travel," I have decided to play around with the in-camera multiple exposure feature. Previously, this feature was rarely used, other than some fooling around.
Originally I tried to take this in an unlit hallway (using a flashlight to fill in the subject), but the subject's black clothing was absorbing all the light, so it ended up looking like a bunch of floating heads and hands.
Spurred on & inspired by lyrics from an Iron Maiden track 'Hallowed be thy Name':
"I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime,
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time,
'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole,
The sands of time for me are running low".
I'd credit all those whose stock images went into putting this together, but regrettably I forgot to note them - all are from DeviantArt.com however.
No element within this image are my own - merely a creation of my own imagination.
Season of Touit - picture 17
Week 41, Wednesday
I’ve been using the Zeiss Touit 2.8/50M in different scenarios and while it is a lens with great versatility, it is also difficult to come up with right kind of pictures that demonstrates its marvelous macro capabilities and still be interesting enough from photography’s point of view. To demonstrate these macro capabilities I wanted to do at least one picture at minimum focusing distance just to have a concrete example how close one can get with 2.8/50M and what kind of magnification does it offer. So here is a regular housefly, the most common of all domestic flies at minimum focusing distance (and as filthy as they tend to be in the real world visible with human eyes). I had to approach this one very carefully not to scare it away and because of that I cannot say this picture is exactly at minimum focusing distance, but it’s there at least by 95 percent (the fly was about 8 mm long and I’ve cropped the picture just a little bit for better composition). I kind of like how this turned out even with as ordinary subject as this. With the original unresized file one can see individual photoreceptor units of the fly’s compound eyes and expect even greater details with newer sensors like the 24 mpix sensor inside the Sony Alpha 6000 (I’m working with older generation Sony Nex-5N which only has 16 mpix sensor). Not only does this picture exemplify the Touit 2.8/50M’s great 1:1 reproduction scale, it also shows how nicely the lens resolves even at aperture of f/14 where most other lenses would already had a diffraction kicked in. Also, notice the very smooth and buttery background bokeh which I absolutely love with this lens.
Looking at this picture as a simple photograph it brings up an interesting recollection from my childhood in me. Being a five or six years old I remember sitting in from of TV and watching a nature documentary about houseflies. The voice from documentary told that houseflies are very difficult to kill with a flyswatter because they see much larger field with their compound eyes and perceive time differently. Then the documentary showed a slow motion scene of typical apartment room where woman is trying to kill a fly with the flyswatter. Everything is slowed down to extreme and I remember seeing at least a flickering TV-screen and some people talking with their pitch lowered to unrecognizable sounds. Then the woman swings her hand with flyswatter and it takes from 10 to 20 seconds – of course she misses and the fly gets away. For some reason I remember that the claim about fly’s different perception of time had to do something about having so much more eyes than human. Despite of being all grown up today this sort of question of subjective perception of time has certainly fascinated me ever sense. Particularly one thing in this slow motion analogy intrigues me: it makes it look like the fly sees outside world in ‘slow motion’, but at the same time is able to think and reason within its inner cognitive world in ‘standard time’ – otherwise the explanation that the flyswatter misses because the fly has so much more time to see it and react to it, would be false. This sort of paradox of two different times filled up my mind as a child, but today I see it just a bad example of popularization of science. However, I’m still not sure how one should conceptualize it, but I’m pretty sure – if the phenomenon exist – it has nothing to do with eyes. Still, makes me wonder how this particular fly perceived me photographing it in that particular moment..

I'm not sure what this scuba guy was doing trudging through the water but it looked like it was a very strenuous workout. It was 40 degrees (4C) outside and probably close to that in the water too. Maybe training for something?

I've been continuing my learning and practicing Photoshop for the past few months.
Over the last year I've learned a lot about photography a few great places that I think everyone should check out:
Beginning: Froknowsphoto (froknowsphoto.com/)
Lighting: Strobist (strobist.blogspot.com/)
Photoshop: Phlearn (phlearn.com/).
These skills have been really combining recently to allow me to create exactly what I envision and I'm very thankful to these people and their websites.
Time is one of those things that I think makes a great subject because its something that affects us greatly while being nearly invisible. I liked the idea of trying to portray time in the context of a photo. I hope you enjoy!

A fun little fact for you guys is that David actually photographed me for the first time at the Melbourne Camera Club in 2002 - just over 22 years ago now. We couldn't have known then that we'd continue to work together for what has become literally decades later but Dave tells me I'm one of the only people he has shot repeatedly for 20+ years. I'll find a photo from our shoot back then but in the meantime, enjoy this new one from a few weeks' ago :)
Some time ago ...in fact it was eight years ago today... I posted a photo of this derelict railway carriage body. At that time my long-standing contact Rienk Mebius came up with a plausible identification:-

So it seems this was Great Eastern suburban stock of the kind that would have worked what were already intensive services from London's Liverpool Street and Fenchurch Street stations. Passing by again the other day I stopped for a further photo ...upgrading, as it were, from the earlier digital snap. It would have been interesting to see the interior. The evenly spaced doors made me think at first that these were non-corridor full-width compartments, but I think recent "open" suburban stock had the same door spacing, with passengers entering or leaving between the knees of seated passengers. One imagines Pooterish, wing-collared, "city clerks" ...not the humbler, younger kind who would have scuttled home from their desks to Canonbury or Stockwell, but older, senior men with long experience in banking and insurance who returned to wives and villas in Goodmayes.

Self Critique: I would have liked more in focus, but I was in a rush for work. Which is no excuse. I do enjoy the subtle softness though.

Give your loved ones a big hug tonight, cos time goes by and we forget the simple things
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is still (just) a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say: "i love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs - never out of date
Hearts full of passion - jealousy and hate
Woman needs man - and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Its still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Happy New Years! First day of the 366 project and I must say it was quite a brain teaser to figure out something to do. Finally came up with this little shot here and I think it turned out quite well. Hope all is well.

7DOS, Week #39 - Song Titles, Macro Monday - one from the archive, taken nearly a year ago in fact. How much my life has changed since then! Apologies for the lack of visits and activity on my part, but we're still sans house and there seems to be a ton to do despite this. I have no idea how long it'll be before we get connected once we're in a house so it may get worse/better - who knows.
Thank you in advance for any comments and/or favourite and apologies for the lack of reciprocation on my part. We're still living out of bags a month down the line and I'm not sure when this will change. Getting serious photography-withdrawal symptoms :-(
