Often flowers at Christmas - unusually late this year.

All back lighting.

Its been a while since my last self portrait so decided to be bold and brave with this one.

Landscapes are what i really like and havent ever been that into portraits but i have always fancied doing shots for bands mainly rock or metal bands and some of my favourtie images are from the old school punk/metal bands like "Madball" or "Agnostic Front" the slightly cheesey staged front covers with the members are the best!

That in mind id always wanted to use my garage to shoot and ran out whilst the dinner was cooking, so this was a bit rushed,..

I took one shot under exposed by -3 for the background which i further edited within Gimp 2.6

My second shot was taken with a flash exposure compensation of -2. I edited this in gimp as well and layered them together making my opacity just under half.

Id thought about adding text possibley "TRANSLUCENT" above my head but couldnt get it to look very good. not sure you can do anythign fancy in gimp with it, again any ideas or tips would be welcome.

How can't you see what I feel, when I'm so see through!!!!!!!!!!

With more than 20 billion laser points the cathedral church of St. Stephen in Vienna was spatially measured. In this unique level of detail they correspond to a data volume of almost 400 gigabytes and form the basis of the translucent St. Stephen’s Cathedral. This innovative approach offers spectators an interactive journey through the translucent sacred building in stereoscopic 8K. The novel insights through the layers of the Cathedral Church were created as a cooperative effort between the Ars Electronica Futurelab, ScanLAB Projects, RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems and the Dombauhütte St. Stephan zu Wien.

In the course of Ars Electronica Home Delivery, Michaela Obermair and Reinhard Bengesser, both Infotrainers at the Ars Electronica Center, take you on couple of tours through the virtual St. Stephen’s Cathedral focussing on its history, architecture as well as legends surrounding it. The photo was taken at the Ars Electronica Center's Deep Space 8K.

On J2 008. LHR to GYD. Why innovation is not always good!

i like this for whatever odd reason. the bottles and my goofy sunglasses made little bokeh happies :)

posted this cause i'm so excited--my old konica has a 1.4 f-stop lens thing (i have no idea if i got the terminology right) but ANYWAY, i took it outside with the shaped-bokeh hood i made and took some shots. hopefully, they'll come out (meaning that camera isn't broken after all). we'll see.

look familiar?

this is almost sooc---minimal color boosting.

Sunday afternoon in early July, I went to Zyge hometown village. I was surprised to find a translucent spider. Are not sure of the type of this spider, I was examined by the Internet after returning home. The spider, I know that it is a kind of newly-molted "Fishing Spider". I'm happy knowledge is increased.
