I have made sure to keep the original, but I've done this photograph the way you can see here. I've also done it in monochrome.

I passed this place on my way to an appointment yesterday, and I just knew I wanted to photograph it on my way home. That's precisely what I did.

I know it's just variations on a theme. But thoughts on which one is better than another? Maybe I'm just overthinking?

Even with the best of intentions ICM frequently distorts subjects beyond what was initially desired.

I used Hasselblad X2D II 100C plus 75 3.4 P lens. The original shot was boring. I made it mono and then just used sliders to get whatever would result. This is it.

McCloud Railway 25 built in September 1925.

This was originally a shot with my Hasselblad of a bright blue shy and a very white cloud plus some trees. I had to shoot higher in order to avoid acrs and people.

I must admit I have been lax in both my shooting and posting recently, perhaps due to the fact my wife has now retired, and we are spending a LOT more time together doing various activities.

While wandering through a junk yard in Mérida, Mexico, I found this unique composition of a used ... ?

A Dahlia head that I messed about with .

Another unrepeatable experiment with a photograph of a hanging flower basket. I never know what I'm going to get, but I really enjoy doing it. They don't all come out like a big bang.

Flowers growing in our garden. Another experiment with sliders in post. Mostly perspective which is not easy because one can make a move and it says I can't do that!

This is deeply meaningful to me. Surviving and blossoming despite all attempts to stop me blossoming on my own terms.

I love to mess about in post, trying out things to see what happens. I sometimes get results I love. Sometimes.

A couple months ago I picked up a RF 100mm f/2.8 Macro L and I am putting it through it's paces to see what I can come up with.

It was mid September late in the afternoon, a group of sailboats were out on the water enjoying the weather, there was a soft breeze blowing, pushing on the sails.

Just a few shots - not of the art but the building interior!

I wanted to see how my 50 year old Canon FD 800mm f/5.6 s.s.c. would handle photographing both the Sun and the Moon.

I don't normally shoot directly towards the sun, but...

"Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none.*"

I don't normally shoot directly towards the sun, but...

Such an amazing place.

Flâner - French for: to stroll, observe surroundings, and savouring the moments without any specific goal

As we walk around whether in the neighborhood or on vacations our eyes are attracted to something and we choose to either ignore it or pick it up and carry it around before discarding.

Latex paint takes about 1-2 hours to dry and it was faster than taking this image!

I picked up an RF100 f/2.8 L Macro lens and thought I would practice and see what I could come up with.

All photos are multiple image focus stacked.

Just a few interesting details walking around a couple of towns in Germany. In the second one, I was just captured by the setting sunlight in an alley.

We just came back from NE Oregon location scouting Zumwalt Prairie and Enterprise/Joseph area as well.
