Ok, that was a narrow escape: handling a camera in the hospital’s waiting room while the best wife of all sits there with a luxated thumb, waiting to get x-rayed, *can* lead to a serious conflict. Lucky man that I am, it didn’t… But this dragon tree (dracaena draco), barely surving the lack of light (and maybe all the sighs in this room) had just an irresistible shape. Not leaving the house without the camera paid out once again, and having mounted that bulky 1.8/28mm lens was just the right choice.

Just a Gentle Wipe

dsc26319_3s

Found in my hometown, where usually naked bottoms don’t get wiped in open public…

Photographed in raw, converted in bibble5 with the Andrea plugin set to Tri-X, fine-tuned in gimp as bibble5 currently doesn’t support the perspective correction plugin. Other than that, it’s just having the camera at hand and reasonably pre-set.

batticaloa lighthouse

less words this time. punctum – i have decided to get barthes’ book to understand better what he tries to express.

above you have the black and white version of the batticaloa lighthouse picture. in my eyes it has a more detached quality than the color version here which is just so …natural and vivid. maybe it’s my mood that i savour more in the black and white version.

three graces

taken during our holidays in croatia. whilst the color version is interesting in its own, i do like the graphical effect of the black and white here even more as it leads the eye more to the curve of the heads.

SONY DSC this abstract portrait i love for the patterns and shadows and clear areas. i am still undecided if i should crop it even a bit tighter.

deeply rooted

spending some time outside on one of our favourite spots i noticed those deeply rooted, strong trees – probably hornbeams.

It is part of a series i took, just follow the link. i am considering to re-shoot this with different focus distances, given i can install helicon focus via wine on my linux box. sharpness in all parts of the image would be an added bonus here, i think.
