I bet those are cool. Gone are the days when I just look at the photo and think 'yep that's the photo I took... pretty good... better luck next time.' Now I play with the color and I crop it... it can make a good pic brilliant.
Don't get me wrong- I prefer that. I prefer getting the shot I want when I shoot it, but I've also been trying little by little to get over my deep-seated loathing of Photoshop. Only way to do that is to fuss around with it sometimes. This picture was taken in color and included her foot, but I kept the aspect ratio the same when I cropped it, turned it b&w, and then applied some serious contrast abuse. ;)
Have been enjoying looking at your recent shots here, especially the cemetery pieces, but the vultures too, and barbed wire... it all resonates...
Am a bit of a cemetery haunter myself, if you have a minute, do try clicking on the "cemeteries" label in my sidebar, at present there are 103 previous posts about cemeteries, and more to come... sooner or later most of us will end up in one somewhere for the long term, may as well enjoy them while we're able... :-) Actually, there's also alot of very good and very poignant artwork in them, heaven for earthly poets...
The lucky ones do. The ones with families who want to remember- the ones who can afford to inter their loved ones. They get stuck in the ground with something meant to last planted at their heads. The rest of us get forgotten.
This is all my work. I took these pictures. I, me, mine. However, having said that, I don't Photoshop watermarks on my pictures because I don't believe in it- the practice reminds me of a jealous dog pissing on everything. I slapped a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 Unported license on this page because I'm really pretty much a socialist and don't care how much my pictures are "borrowed" provided credit is given (*cough* link back to this site) and no one else makes money off my work. Other than that...if you can translate Latin send me a message.
That's pretty. God I love cemeteries.
ReplyDeleteI've had a shot of her face and hand as my desktop for two weeks now. I'll eventually post all of her- just in pieces. ;)
ReplyDeleteNice site, glad I found it...some of your pix are fascinating....
