Restless for Film
I am impatiently waiting for a roll of film to be processed. Does anyone remember that feeling? It has been a few years since I last shot film, and I had forgotten the feeling of wanting to see the results. Sooner. Not later. Thank you very much.
I have to wait until Tuesday afternoon.
Dull as Dishwater
This was the scene in my kitchen sink the other day. A mixing bowl, abandoned mid-wash and a slowly dripping tap were creating bubbles around a small cleared circle. The bubbles were passing through a range of irridescent colours after each drip splashed down.
Self Portrait but not Selfie
I caught sight of my hand in the helicopter window when I flew up the Toba River valley a few weeks ago. I had no idea what I was going to do with this shot, nor even why I took it. In fact, I thought it would be no use at all since it makes my hand seem wrinklier than I usually see it, and implies that perhaps the rest of me is this wrinkled and old-looking too, giving the wrong impression totally to those of my readers that don’t know what I look like (and those that do, no smart-ass comments). However, please note that I am not so feeble as to be unable to heft a Canon 5Dii with one hand and hold it steady enough to take a picture. Besides, there is a double reflection and that is doubling the number of wrinkles – simple math really. Right?
So, what prompted me to post this revealing picture? I was reading that the Oxford Dictionary has declared “selfie” to be the new word of the year. The phrase “old-fashioned” might spring to mind, supported visually by this picture (old x2), but I am having a hard time accepting selfie into my lexicon. Self portrait is so much more my kind of phrasing.
Toba Trees III
A week or so ago I posted a colour shot of the Toba River and adjacent trees. I decided in that instance that black and white version worked better.
This time, I prefer the colour version. The colour of the river is just so good.
Coho View
This is not what I was planning for this image. But when I opened the software, I was resented with something like this because of the last used setting. A few adjustments and this is where I ended up, and I quite like it.
It is the view from the ferry, part of my Coho series, taken on the way to Port Angeles and the Olympic Peninsula in July.
Coho Handrail
Another photo in the Coho ferry series, taken on the way to Port Angeles and the Olympic Peninsula last July.
The last time I posted about the Coho it was a set of heavily processed images, this time the image is straight from the camera, other than a bit of sharpening done as a preset on all my RAW images on upload as well as a lens profile correction preset which for this lens removes some vignetting.
