Can't see the second one.

Nice pp'ing - just a bit smudged on some edges.

Good reminders of what summer is all about though

oh will try the second one again,
yeah only noticed the smudged edges now, will fix it later when i'm bothered!

Cheers. The blood was actually made using maple syrup, very strong tea ( to keep is a little bit darker than just water ) and red food dye. It holds up really well under a close shot like the above....but it loses the effect from a distance as you can see below. It didn't bother me as all the photos were taken from the "killers perspective" so i was happy enough to bleach things out, darken then, use odd angles as i needed to but for future Blood Shoots i'l be going for gore more than blood. Big and thick and dark and lumpy holds up a lot better with distance.

Mix in a tiny amount of a darker colour to daken it and stop that washed out look.
Add cornflour to both thicken it and make it slightly more opaque

Taken a few weeks ago on the Empire State Building using a little Sony W120 P&S.

Dragan · 23-05-2008 1:20pm

Very nice! If that is the same bird that would be freakish!

First try with infra-red:

What's the difference between "real" infrared and desaturating a colour photo and adjusting the channels to make the greens white etc.?

Dragan · 24-05-2008 10:30pm

I guess i have been inspired by Barry's work a lot as i took this today and didn't really realise it until i got home and was looking through my stuff.

Highly similar to your work Barry so if you have any issue with it i shall remove it.

Rojo · 24-05-2008 10:40pm

I severely doubt it's a problem, Dragan. You can't own taking photos of homeless people!

Infrared reflects off surfaces containing chlorophyll (for instance) differently than the visible spectrum.

zero problem ,as Rojo says i own nothing , but appreciate your words -- anyway one from town earlier in the week , i shouldn't like it , but i do in that album cover way , but this was done on the streets rather than an expensive studio

The new Nick Cave album is brilliant "Dig! Lazarus Dig!!!"

Great wind for kite surfing, even if the sky was sometimes bland. Here's one I captured yesterday.

Flying high (he was easily 15ft high in the air)

Oh and boo land law by the way

Completely. Just a smidge sharpened.

Rojo · 26-05-2008 7:50pm

OMG - that's amazing, Danny!!!

Valentia · 26-05-2008 8:11pm

Thanks Ronan. As I mentioned on Flickr I've had no real chance to get back taking snaps yet.

It's amazing when you leave things for a while how the freshness comes back. I haven't looked at last years shots in months and ones I passed over don't look so bad now.
