Photo of the day

What a hideous looking doll, perhaps put together by someone with a fiendish mind before being battered by the elements, the stuff of nightmares! Sweet dreams P.
 
I'm glad I didn't look at that before I went to bed last night.
I have always been interested by Bosch. I will have to look up Joel Peter Witkin.

I like that photograph, even if fills me with envy.

I had everything set up to take some photos of the Moon on the Suffolk coast, but first we had complete overcast in the early evening, then thick grey cloud, then black clouds, distant low sheet lightning flashes, a rushing gale of wind and rain. There was no sight of the moon whatsoever.

C'est la vie!
 

Sorry to hear that, it was quite a spectacle. Here it was the opposite - cloudy and rainy throughout the week, but then the sky cleared completely on that night.
Only wish I had a bigger sensor haha

My kit is Fuji fixed lens and Oly MFT, so mostly 16Mp and the biggest only 20Mp. Nonetheless, some great shots from MFT cameras on FB and Instagram where the Moon showed clearly.
 


If you will indulge me - let's go for a walk about Malaga - things that caught my eye. Digital pictures I'm afraid - Nikon D700 - I haven't had my film Leicas serviced yet. Which is remiss of me. It is a f**cking expensive enterprise though - I have two of them. It is not the same using digital - different some how. I see the picture in a different way. Hard to explain. This was taken with a very expensive Nikon lens - not as good as a Leica lens though. Soul-less - some how. The world looks different through them - as it ought to be - a grand for a 50mm? Yes - well. Audrey Hepburn I think? I can do more if anybody is interested. Yours - I.

Yes please Iain.
My morning eyes can't quite work out what's going on there. Is it a poster in a shop window? A piece in a gallery? It's certainly unmistakably an Iain image.
 
Please do more Iain, they may not be up to yout high standards but I find them interesting none the less P.
 


Malaga - day 2 -

'Her is non hoom, her nis but wildernesse: Forth, pilgrim, forth! Forth, beste, out of thy stall!'

Geoffrey Chaucher - from his poem - 'Truth' - middle-English - which is problematic if you speak modern English - this is what it means in translation -

'Here is no home, here is nothing but a wilderness. Go forth pilgrim! Go forth, beast, out of your stall!'

This picture was originally in colour - but I changed it into black and white - that's the way I see the world.

Yours - I.
