The Ultimate Charity

Vicious cycle of life... I find that I kill myself every time I look away from you
But I often gaze another moment. Incited scars reopen,
Bleeding again, and they're bleeding at my request...
...WHEN I HIT THE GROUND AND BLOODY PALMS I RAISE,
THE ARMS THAT PICK ME UP CONVINCE ME THERE'S NO BETTER PLACE" - Staple

Been a while again...

C&C welcome.

OMDG!

I promise I'll post again when I find some appropriate words. Currently they escape me.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Yes, that is very bad. I don't think anyone can match this.

Happy shooting,

Thanks Yakim.

Yeah, right.

You know, it's a bit like Einstein's equations. They do not forbid traveling at speeds beyond C. They just forbid traveling at C. And how exactly are you suppose to get beyond C without passing through C? By a leap of faith?

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

I was thinking more that others could just magically start at a speed beyond c, with no further thought to it.

Thanks again Yakim. I've seen your work though, and I know you've got it in you to produce something stellar.

Hey thanks a lot Julien.

Base image:
Nikon D50 (Remote trigger, self-timer)
50mm 1.8
SB-28 (Optically triggered, above-left)
Remote (In a plastic bag to keep the blood off)
Fake blood (cheap and easy to find around Halloween)
Black cloth background

Texture:
D50
50mm 1.8
Concrete sidewalk outside.

Blended together in Gimp (using Linux Mint on my main computer at the moment) using multiple copies and transformation of the sidewalk image and various blending modes, masks, gradient layers, etc.

And yes, I am actually missing part of that my right ring finger, it wasn't removed digitally

Thanks for sharing ! Always interesting to know how one is able to get such a good result. Looks like god is having a hard time to grace this one

Torn between two possibilities as I see it. Totally dig the composition...
Again Bravo !

You are too kind. I had my share of good pictures in the past but I do not recall ever producing such a powerful image. BTW, is it just a pic or did you do some PP to achieve that striking look?

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

This is a blend of two images, the hands, and a texture layer formed by multiple versions of the same image of a cracked concrete sidewalk. I explained most of the equipment used and process in an earlier post to Julien (markoner)

Cheers!

Jason,
You have one creative mind.
Not sure how you came up with this idea but I think it's brilliant.
Really good work.
