T0ny, you certainly got an eye for things. Glad you found "the zone" I know you've been looking for. Subtle yet interesting photos, really well composed.
Hey Daniel, this was a mum changing a baby and asking her son to bring her the bag off the pram, I was nearly wetting myself. I got a couple more from this mirror but I think I'm finished with it now.
it has been ages since I used the 35/2, maybe even a year.
Edit:
The girl? I showed her the pic and gave her the web address, I hope it looks OK, I'm on that lousy monitor again ...I'm going to have to spend some money me thinks.
The website has a mobile phone version now. I've got a little bit more work to make it look good but its getting there.
Its in the style of Z (grin). He gives me a lot of courage to splash colour.
I've panned the graffiti to blend him into it, its just enough to hold the graffiti together and just enough to mix him in. I've got two (already posted) of these where I pan graffiti and this one is shot at night to get the shutter speed down. Its not a double exposure and more like mixing paint on a palette in camera. Processing is just a levels adjustment.
This guy just happened to walk by and I saw he was wearing the same colours as the wall, he turned to look at me when he saw me do the panning ...thats the luck of it. He had white stripes on his collar and sleeves, a shame but I have to take them as they come, you don't get much time.
Because I'm into finding illusions, sometimes they are just simple things and go un-noticed. This one is outside looking in but it looks like its inside looking out.

That is hilarious ...of course I couldn't have known that it could be a spelling error but knowing this makes it a genuine trophy but will always need an accompanying text. The picture is an illusion, its the prize of pictures that I hunt out. To find an illusion from something that is quite real. No photoshopping in terms of composites or cut & pastes are allowed and I'm not allowed to interfere with the scene or subject in any way because thats the premise of street. And you got one.
I adore photographic illusions, and you have shown some fine examples in this forum. The quest is dormant in the back of my mind, not an objective by itself. Sometimes I see something. It just happens. (Very rarely though.)
I have noticed that quite a few people fail to appreciate a photograph if they can't see what it is or figure out what is going on. In my opinion the appreciation of an image could be based on many things, but not on knowing precisely what you are looking at. In some cases an accompanying text improves the power of an image, but sometimes it is as much fun to leave the audience puzzled.
