Ducks and their shadows

Myra's Dream

Here's a colourpic I shot a few weeks ago. I don't often do colour pictures, much to the disapproval of my dear ole dad. Probably the reason why I don't often do colour pictures...
Narf.
But here I thought the colours were rather important. I purposefully 'blued' up the background to make the whole more dreamy, and to match this babe's fabulous blue eyes.
Isn't she the cutest?

I think so.

The Louvre as seen by a gargoyle

Just got back from Paris with some nice enough piccies to post. This being one of 'em. Lemme know what you think.

Invasion of the Body Quackers.

This one speaks to me as an old painting sometimes does. Despite the lack of colour, I really like the light and how it flickers here and there. Also the chaotic positions of the ducks I feel are rather interesting. It's almost as if they are planning to take over the world but their feeble brains prevent them from doing anything more than a bizarre form of water ballet. Let that also explain why some ducks seem to fall off the photograph. Nothing to do with my skills as a photographer, that...
Uhum.

My bruv and his lovely daughter: Princess Twoyearsold.


I like this one purely for the composition and the light. Technically I could have done a whole lot better, but I don't think technique's the only thing when creating images. True, one should know how things work, if only 'cause it gives you the freedom to step outside the rigid strucure of certain things...

you understand?





As long as I do. ;)

Smarties Bresson

...and here's another one I shot in the nicest city in the world. The big L, that is.

You should have guessed by now that Black and White photography is my first love (and might just be my last), but when I came across this scene, I just couldn't bring myself to filter out all the colours.
That's why I left all the smarties in their lovely little coats, the way they were. Scattered on the ground by someone who didn't know how much that image would grasp me. And it did.

Just that.

Kill or be killed

Obviously, this work of art isn't mine...

But the picture of it is.
Tate Modern, always worth an afternoon.
