here's a new one.. something a little different. i collaborated with my friend Agnes (she's French but lives in Spain) over the internet to create this little piece. the pics are hers. she plays a metal "meditation drum" over which i play the flute.

it's called Soaring over the ocean.

Hi again guys

A good friend and forum member recently reminded me of this place and how good it is.  I logged on and found that I hadn't visited since February 2007.   A lot has happened for me since then - I got passionate about photography for one (small) thing.  By way of a calling card, here is a photo I took last month at a local fairground.  It was hot and sunny and everyone was smiling, and I saw this ride reaching its peak against the blue sky - just managed to frame the shot in time for them to fly down screaming and for their hair to....fly up....

Warmest to everyone, especially Steven (Nickeson), to whom this image somehow found its way over the ocean for his birthday party....

Welcome back, long lost friend!

Very cool picture David. Post more! It would be great to have you around again.
What I really miss is all the great conversations you started.
Have any more up your sleeve? What have you been thinking about
in the years it's been since you were here?

Welcome David!

Great to see you again.  Thanks for sharing that amazing photo you took.  That looks like HD processing yes?  Is that done by means of a digital post-process or a special lens setup...or how exactly?

Beautiful.

Hey guys!

Now that's what I call a warm embrace - I feel like a prodigal returned.

You mean I have to start thinking again?  Oh.    I might need a little warming up, I've gotten rusty since 2007...  Is that Wilber guy still around?  Wink

Yes, Michael - HDR or High Dynamic Range - I thought this would look good if it was somewhat cartoon-like, like the paintings of the superheroes on the ride.  What you do is make a couple more copies of the pic, and make one over-exposed and one under-exposed to extract all the detail hidden in the shadows and highlights, then merge them together in one image which contains far more detail than a single photo could.  Can create a wierd effect, can look transcendental, depending on your original image....  Here, you get all the fun expressions, and the hallucinatory detail of the hair and even the knobblyness of the knees!   I hope those anonymous people wouldn't mind being exhibited round the world - they all look happy-go-lucky types to me, I don't think they would.  I like the steady middle-aged guy staying solid for his screaming wife, and the blonde lady clutching her son's hand, and the boy with no shoes.... 

Its fun to share this with you.  Got many more, Feral....

Going to catch up on the conversations - lovely to see those familiar names of times gone by, and many newer ones too....

Now, I'm not going to try to flood the thread with my images, but here's a couple more of those HDR photos.  Raises what to me is an interesting point.  These were taken last month on a bright sunny morning in the South of France.  You see how combining different exposures has captured lots of detail.  It has also captured lots of light.  Some people love HDR, some people don't care for it.  Some say HDR pictures look unreal.  These, for example, would need, for some people, toning down - presumably to look more like traditional photographs.   That's easy to do - and they would look more like  postcards you'd get from France.  But.  They would look less like the scenes as I actually saw them - which was very bright, infinitely brighter than the HDR photograph.  I mean, I had shade my eyes to look at them.  I don't have to wear sunglasses to look at the picture!  That's not real sunlight - its pixels.  So how can it be too bright?   Personally, toning down isn't for me.  I'm with Matisse and Van Gogh, who both painted near the spot where I took the photo, and weren't afraid of the bright....

Thank you kindly Jimtzu!

I remember you well from those integral debates....

Glad you like the pics.  I'm definitely influenced by painting.  One final pic to show I don't just shoot HDR. 

My favourite type of photography is actually portraiture.  My friends and relatives have learned to hide when I approach, as I'm likely to ask them to model for me...
This little lady was happy for me to take photos of her - she's used to people appreciating her transcendental beauty.  Flossie is my niece, 3 years old, and lives in the south of France.  As you can see, she is the blondest of blondes and has the most amazing eyes.   I waited until she was backlit by that warm evening sun. I focussed on her eyes with a wide open lens, so that the eyes are the only things which are sharp, allowing everything else to softly blur away...   Lovely, huh?  I mean Flossie, not my work.

She can be less angelic than she looks, believe it or not...  Smiley  A sunkissed wild child...   She was actually pulling funny faces at me when I was trying to take this picture, and I captured her while she was thinking up the next expression.....

OK, not going to hog this thread.    Good wishes to you Jimtzu.
