      The third one is my favorite!

        Thanks @weftyarn A lot of cropping going on,much to the surfers dismay,as they want to see more of the wave,and I’m trying to show the action and crop into the direction that the surfer is moving. Try to imagine if there were Baseball cards for surfers,what would they look like.

              I'm assuming because that is KY, it is pronounced Ver-sales…. 🙂

                That is 100% correct. Taking a break from drinking bourbon.

                  Stunning shots, @Jett129

                  How have you edited these? This B&W profile is so unique and recognizable. I love how it makes the details such as the facial muscles of the horse pop out.

                  Use it or lose it.

                    Thank you @weftyarn These are very edited,cropped etc. I tend to test everything I do to see how it might look in B&W,or if the color just isn’t working for me. While I have a plugin that gives me access to about 50 different analog B&W films,for this I just clicked B&W and proceeded to adjust the images accordingly.

                      The editing and cropping certainly didn't hurt - I love the result!

                        A few from my father's workshop, where we produced linoleum printed cards.
                        I'm 80% in front of a computer on work days and it's always refreshing, almost meditating, to produce something without any electricity involved (other than the room lighting) in my free time.

                        Applying color to the press, the linoleum cut already prepared

                        As orange as it gets….

                            It's alway "our" work (the whole family helps together), but yes, there's some favorites that i will share next time I'm at the workshop 😃

                            There's a whole lot to explore.. A graphic designers dream, really.

                            I'm happy I make my living as an Engineer and I'm really passionate about it too,
                            but the hands on experience of these "older crafts" is priceless.

                              printshop setup is the shit @weftyarn ! how did you come by them?

                              Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                              Well, I have others.

                                Sorry for the late reply, @steelworker
                                It's been quite a busy few weeks…

                                So we found the printshop on the second market last summer and drove down 1.500km to very south of France (near Toulouse) to go pick it up and install it in my fathers workshop here in Munich.
                                We had to rent a really big van to transport the estimated 1.2 tons of lead. The press alone was 250kg, if I recall correctly. It was mid-summer, the sun was out and it was beautiful to drive through France enjoying the nature. Enjoyed a lot of cheese and wine too, of course.

                                The printshop is amazing, but the memories of that trip make using it so much more special. It was truly amazing!

                                Use it or lose it.

                                  Had a little fun with with my Walimex "screw-on" Macro lens.
                                  Getting the focus right can be challenging, but it really is a lot of fun!

                                    Really great. Love denim Macro photography,which I had never seen before Iron Heart. Keep at it. I think there  might be an IH Macro Photography thread which I contributed to years ago. I’ll look around. @weftyarn I found it and tagged you. Maybe we can resurrect it. Called Macro shots of Iron Heart Gear.

                                      Did some Lensball Photography this weekend,using the murals of the Wooden Walls project as my subject.  @Bailey I think that you would like the murals that inspired my photography.

                                          The murals are really cool,and 2 of the artists happened to be there when I was shooting,and approved of what I was doing. I’ll be sending pictures to both of them.

                                            Michael Runtz is a Carleton University professor in Ottawa who specializes in nature based courses.  One of my favourite lectures was where he used filters to show what insects and wildlife see versus what we see.  With flowers you see them completely differently and some plain looking flowers are absolutely gorgeous with the right filters and lighting.

                                            It’s something I have been interested in and may pursue at some point.  I love nature in general and often find those are the subjects I most like to photograph.  With macro it’s fun to get those close up pictures of pollen that your normally don’t see unless you’re looking for it.

                                            I think that the lenseball with nature could make some fantastic images as well.
