Thanks to all for checking in on this one! I’m glad not the only one who picked up on the James Bond vibe, that’s how I saw it exactly. I didn’t see a shrimp at all, sorry Rob. I’ve been working on finding characters lately, so here’s one I buffed up a bit for a prickly, old, formidable bulldog look for M to go with James Bond. Craig & Dench made a powerful pair! It’s a bit of a stretch I know but still great fun

Thanks for your suggestion, @annehornsby! I’ll give that a try 😊

Thanks, @patography!

Thank you, Dahlia. It was an interesting challenge to shoot under frequently changing weather conditions that helped create a range of moods.

@dahliaambrose You asked to see more pareidolia, I hope you’ll like this one. I call it Aladdin.

Magnificent shot, @patography! You checked all the boxes, love it

This digital art probably doesn’t qualify, but here’s a digital kaleidoscope I made from a shot of eucalyptus bark. The Foucault ‘s Pendulum which changes its movement with the rotation of the earth.

Thanks, Dahlia! I love the colored ones too, it’s a great way for me to study complementary colors.

Thanks again for your encouragement & kind words, @admin-2! You know what you get when you encourage me LOL. Here’s a few more, hot off the presses today. BTW, I’m a big fan of Austin Kleon’s quote: “Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.” Finding out what doesn’t work & what does (honest LS feedback is a HUGE plus & motivator) helps me keep improving! Thanks to everyone for your support. 😀

Hi Tersah, that’s great feedback! Thanks so much, glad you’re enjoying them

[Marty E]

Thanks for your feedback on my B&Ws, @lightand shadow & @retired grunt! You’ve encouraged me to boost these last 2 & I was happy to see the highlights held. See what you think.

[Marty E]

Thanks to Robert & Paul for your enthusiasm about my red & green complementary color variety! Here are 2 more pairs (the red tulips were exceptional with all their ruffles).

[Marty E]

Glad you enjoyed my outcome! And yes, that’s exactly what I mean. Evidently there’s a buffer zone on the white side that prevents lights from getting blown. The off-black filter creates this buffer. I have to keep an eye on it & know when to quit or when it’s just right, but I can definitely tweak it more than I’m able without the off-black nylon filter. And btw, I use the off-black nylon filter without my trusty polarizer. Check it out & see what you think!

 

[Marty E]

Thanks as always, Rob! Your support is much appreciated 😀

 

[Marty E]

Let me know when you do, I think you’ll love it!

 

[Marty E]

Thank you, Tersha! The second one was one I shot with the off-black nylon filter.
