p.1 #1 · WAKING 2006


Hi there fellow Nikonians and FM'ers -

Here's a new abstract done this week-
I haven't been posting much lately because of so much work, which is good...

I'm loving the D2X having shot almost a full year with it and beginning to get my MOJO down-

Wishing all a Happy New Year hopefully the beginning or dawning of a brand new year of peace and harmony in the world.

Best Wishes,

/\rt

Happy New Year to you, Art!

I love an abstract that I can not figure out how it is done... therefore, I love this one.

Very interesting, indeed!

(I'm not asking for an explanation of how you did this, btw.)

Thanks Paul -

So much can be done in-camera with the D2X - it is a dream camera for me for sure -
Getting this kind of detail and ability to push/pull the light is very exciting -

Of course, late afternoon low Florida light helps too

Thanks for your comments - as always appreciated -

Best to you and yours for 2006!

Hi Rene - thanks for your comments -
I don't post so much anymore because I don't want to wear out my welcome...

There isn't a real place for this work that feels like a home here, also...

Your comment about the Christmas lights is interesting but it really is just late afternoon super saturated Florida light and refined motion blur techniques. A little burning with a soft- light layer in the corners to accentuate the roundness, but the rest is via NC and CS2...

A little twist of the wrist, that's all...

Thanks for dropping by-

Art - count me in as one of the ones that love good abstracts ( though I can't do them myself ) and I really like yours. The title is perfect for it too!

Hi Pavel -
Hey, glad you liked it man -
I've been working on the techniques for a couple of years now -
I got some great abstracts using the D2H by the way (knowing you just got one) -

Congrats on getting the D2H - you'll love it.

Here's an abstract I did early in 05 with the D2H - totally in-camera - the jpeg looks a little noisey- the print is perfect... (Velvet Fine Art - 13 x19)

Thanks for stopping by Pavel -

Alright ... I'm hooked! Now a tutorial on the brain process would be most welcome

The D2h ... the more I use it .... the more I'm loving it! No kidding. It is great and becoming as intuitive as I've always wanted a body to be.
These must be the first holidays where I'm ok with them being over - so I can find some time to go out and shoot!

I have to agree with doug, I really like that one. It's a killer image. The contrast of sharp edge and smooth gradiated color is my gallon of tea!

Oh yeah and thanks on the explanation of the shot in this thread. I thought I had it peg'd! Interesting to learn how one accomplishes an image and the creative effor that goes into it.

Thanks again Rene -

I often hesitate to post mainly because I'm working diligently on developing a style of my own based on 35 years of work as a fine artist. The photo abstracts are how I wish I could draw...

What's interesting is how far I have been able to push the technique, especially when once in an odd hyper-space of motion blur and light moving, occasionally images form based on the repetitive motion achieved by analysing, reshooting, reanylysing and reshooting, over and over until the happy accident finally occurs. I'm now going through 300 gigs of images from last year, mostly abstract shooting, and weeding out, making painful decisions.

Here's an example of one kind of push with the process where that dream-like state yields more than recognizeable imagery that unquestionably never existed in the real world...

Ha Pavel!

Sure it does - just take a gig of images and it "just happens" that maybe if you're lucky you just might get that killer image.

My yield is higher now on the D2X than with the D2H, but I've dialed in my process much more lately. The H is great because when you shoot a gig's worth there are many more to choose from. Also the high frame rate can help as well. It helps to have been trained as a graphic artist or painter, etc., to have a frame of reference to draw upon, when ultimately the images end up being of a personal nature.

I do appreciate the humor however... when it comes to this stuff, good luck...
