I like this one, Robert. Unique colours too.

That colour is beautiful and dark. We get the Aurora every blue moon, so its great to see shots like this one.

[Robert Apple]

It happens here every so often mostly like this though where it colors the sky is seeing formations.

Moments forged in color

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Great composition, but is that in front of the gorgeous window light that we talked about in the other thread? You’ve really nailed the lighting on that one.

[Patrick]

No mate this is just in my room , fixing up a few bits before it starts to dry , The diffusion panel really softens it up mate thats for sure 🙂 , thank you Rob

[Tersha]

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

That burst of light at the bottom is quite a compelling addition to your usual style.

[Michael]

[Patrick]

Beautiful work mate , must be a contender 🙂

[Michael]

Thank you, Patrick.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

That is one of the most unique spider on a web shots I have seen for awhile with the cool to warm transition. Very creative and very effective. I really like that one, @Michael

[Patrick]

It is a good one Rob , prob one of the best i have seen this one was made to be photographed , the skill was with the photographer to spot it and nail it and he did just that.

A cracker , hope you got that one printed big michael it deserves to be seen 🙂

[Michael]

Thanks so much, Patrick.

[Michael]

Thank you, Rob!

[davidc]

A Cracker!

week 40

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

That’s like an extreme version of framing. Very effective.. lol

[Patrick]

This was the first attempt at getting it haha , just using my phone and a little mirror i made to shot a self portrait with just an eye showing this is why so small 🙂

Cheers Rob 🙂

Life and Death on a Flower

[Marty E]

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Gorgeous ethereal flower there @martye – I really think the black-and-white flower genre is a major strength for you.

[Marty E]

Thanks so much, @admin-2. I really appreciate your encouragement and highlighting this genre as a strength for me. I’m definitely working on heading in that direction! 😀

[davidc]

[Marty E]

Thank you for your enthusiastic comments and mono pick, Patrick! Great feedback. I’m working on learning chiaroscuro technique to achieve fine art 🙂

 

[Marty E]

[davidc]

Two more beautiful flowers!

[Marty E]

Many thanks, David!

 

[Marty E]

[Robert Apple]

All nice flower shots Marty, the delicateness of the petals stands out.

[Marty E]

Thanks very much, Robert! Much appreciated

 

[Patrick]

[Marty E]

Absolutely awesome, Patrick! Your graphic artistry goes way beyond photography, bravo !!! I think you’re in your CREATIVE period 😀

 

 

[Patrick]

Thank you very much Marty , I would need to agree it does feel that way in a sense , I have said before but i spent many many years using photoshop and other digital means of creating things ,  it was always just something i enjoyed doing and it is the one true thing apart from photography and dogs that i don’t need any coaxing to do or to get involved in some way , I spent all those years with arty stuff wishing or wondering could i translate what i know in the digital realm to real world materials because the concepts and layouts are just the same , we use layers in both mediums ,colour ,form, line ,texture ,shape and composition , So yes i do feel creative like there is a whole world of possibilities out there if i make the effort.

I get a real buzz out of the research we do when looking at other styles or people that laid the groundwork and ideas they explored for us to gain from.

[Marty E]

You are definitely in your element and your path of fully being yourself. Keep going & thank you for sharing your journey with us!
