Lenny Wollitz

Not sure how I missed this one. It’s a cracker, @el-dub

MOAR!

@el-dub  I like the original best, the “whale” is more imposing with its great visual weight. It won’t be easy for the “sticks” to take it down. Glad to know you love Mark Twain, here’s my personal tweak lately on the quote I posted above. In our current political climate, I say it’s “lies, damn lies, and politics!” And don’t get me started…[Read more]

@el-dub Mexico, whale season? Ballena is Spanish for whale, right?  “Ballena piedra y Los Clavos” (or “Palos” for sticks). My Spanish isn’t that great but might be something there. Sounds sophisticated in Spanish 😀

@el-dub  Lenny, this image is driving me crazy! Two words came to mind as possible titles or a variation of the word:  “Juxtaposed” and “Incongruent”.

A few more thoughts for you @el-dub. Weirdly, I’m reminded of a Mark Twain quote. “There’s lies, damn lies, and statistics, so maybe “Politics?” 😀

@el-dub Like Pat, I’ve been stumped on at title for this. I like where Pat is heading with her suggestions. I’m now thinking about “odd men out,” competing forces, disturbance, or simply tension. I’m not sure ultimately who/what wins. The “whale” dominates but the rods are definitely disturbances. Possibly “intrusions” or “extrusions?” In any…[Read more]

@el-dub  Lenny I have stared at this and am drawing a blank. At first it looked like a whale’s mouth with some sharp teeth. I see the contrast between smooth and sharp. I also “saw” a brush on top of the teeth of a comb. The only word that comes to mind as I look again, is “Projections” or “Projecting” or something to do with the very top or…[Read more]

Liked this one from @el-dub to the point that I will even forgive that he did not know what Fallout was.

Hi everyone, I feel a bit overwhelmed by all of the insightful comments and suggestions, it is all very much appreciated.

@federicoalegria    Federico, your really nice comments about the colour palette (right image) and her expression are reassuring.  Yes, I became aware later that the sun was in her eyes on the left.  If the right oppo…[Read more]

Thanks @el-dub – appreciated.

Thanks @el-dub  Mmm, not sure about the sillhouette, but will give it a try, Lenny.

Thanks @dahliaambrose, wow, great spotting re the front shot not being the best, I will definitely look carefully for the best one at the end of my next shoot!

What were you doing in the US @el-dub?

Jasenka @jasenkag – Thanks for your comments! Yes, you are right the overexposed parts of the image, ie the flames, cannot be fixed.

Lenny @el-dub – thanks for your comments, too! In recent times I have basically forgotten about the possibility of bracketing the exposure, so it is a very timely reminder. Will have to get the option back into my…[Read more]

Oh wow! Thank you so much for your kind words @jasenkag, @patrickw, @federicoalegria, @el-dub, @elax, @tersha!

Merry Christmas @el-dub – Has been wonderful enjoying your company on the forum this year! 🙂

@el-dub A 1949 Hit written by Freddy Martin and preformed by Merv Griffin.

@el-dub  I’m not sure if this is what your after Lenny, I do this with photos as silhouettes before processing on the vinyl plotter.

In Photoshop open two windows with your image in it, on one of them under the image tab then mode ,change the mode to indexed color, I used these settings.

then change it back to RGB color.

Then clicking on the…[Read more]

This one from @el-dub keeps catching my eye.

This one from @el-dub caught my attention.

@el-dub   Lenny I cropped your shot as a suggestion for the image you took.   For a wide angle, it could be fun to put a beach towel down closer to the water facing the guy &umbrella on your right, then from the ground perspective try a 15mm focal length to see what you can capture.

Here is an example of a shot from sand up with 15 mm., which I l…[Read more]
