iemanja: I really like the geometry of that first shot.
Here's a few more from a recent series:
Looks like the Picton farm.

That man in the center; where is the light coming from that illuminates his mouth?

When you take pictures of snow scenes you need to override the light meter so as to give about 2 stops more exposure. This will then give you a white for the snow.
Light meters are designed on the assumption that all the tones in all scenes add up to a grey. Snow scenes, and even water scenes do not conform to this assumption so you have to re-set the meter.
Of course after the event you can always change the levels in Photoshop or other program:-

I like that.

Funny you should say that. It's partly "real" light coming in from the right, but on top of it is a slight lens flare (if that's the right term) that spreads from his face to the woman's face who is hiding her face from the "real" light.

A lovely day to go to the seaside - some shots of Whitstable
Real spring feeling this weekend
Yesssss, and I want to feel the sun on my skin. Nice shots (love the bright colours), but I'm afraid the forecast for coming weekend is not so sunny!!!

See my post above! Mainly natural light coming in from the right (it is the same light that's hitting the woman's forehead) with a bit of added lens flare, I think. On the full size version you can see the faintish circle of flare a bit more clearly. Anyway...

Fuck off. We all make our own choices.
You destroyed everything enumbers shots had with your sinister, technocratic manipulation.

Thank you for your contribution, so very similar to other ones you have made before.

Well, thank you!
Seriously, I hate people who quote rules about art. Photography is art and there are no rules. If there were, we would never move on. I much preferred the originals. Far more atmosphere and feeling. You steralised them
I don't agree that photography is necessarily an art. It may be sometimes, but mainly it is a craft. In a craft there are things that you can learn in order to be in control of your results.
Photography is based on science and technology. If you know how a light meter works you can be master of it and not be its slave, relying on 'happy accidents' to arrive at a result you like.
Your thinking is woolly minded and self-indulgent.

i like this log just the way they are.
the grayness emphasises the mood of the pictures.
low contrast photos can be done tastefully like the above.

Let's just assume that enumbers knows the science and chose to go with what he got. Let's just assume that other people know the rules and choose not to follow them for good effect occasionally. Let's just assume that a picture, whether it's a photograph, a painting, a collage, or whatever was created by the creator in the way they wanted it to be seen.
Fuck off up your own rule driven technocratic arse

shut it you egg!
we can assume anything we want. Quite why you feel the need to reach for the pejorative from the off is quite another matter. why are you such a fool sometimes/often?Tosser.

I agree. The original was far superior to the manipulation. The manipulation was probably more faithful to the 'real' scene, but it had no soul, no mystery.

In building, you'd be the engineer, and stanley, the architect.
Agreed. For me, Hocus Eye's manips look tacky.
...why are you such a fool sometimes/often?
I'm a temperamental artist and when people try to tell me photography isn't art I get annoyed.
I'm currently relying on large charcoal sketches for income. Very fast, very fluid and architecturally correct. Two sketches an hour at 3 Meters x 1 Meter. No-one tries to say they aren't art, yet for me, I get far more out of producing photographic art. My art photography is far better art.
I suppose I should just accept that some people will always be to narrow minded to open up to the idea.
Anyway, Hocus knows how I'm likely to react to such posts. I'm sure he doesn't let my remarks bother him in the slightest. You should ignore them also. However, they're far from foolish words.
I'm off to sketch a Realejo scene with charcoal onto canvass for a honeymoon couple. They provide the canvass and food and drink and a pocket full of cash when I'm done. Going to enjoy this one. Perhaps I'll be in a far better mood this evening than I was last night
