Suggest a Title, More Mirror, Thanks For Your Feedback! )

About the photo first: this is from our holiday to South Island, New Zealand in September '01. Terribly cliche I know, yet we did do a lot of the 'tourist' things and got to see Milford Sound. I've previously shown you the B&W landscape of this spot, or fairly close to this exact shooting spot of which I am quite fond. This one rather more meets the requirement for the upcoming NCFPC competition theme including both the mirror surface, reflection, and object reflected. I've gone through several permutations of a title, so that's why the floor is open for suggestions.

As you may see, the day started off with a low overcast; we'd experienced some open sky sunny-ness before driving through Homer Tunnel, under the mountain which blocked a portion of these clouds from passing further inland. This portion of the Sound is fairly well sheltered from the off-shore winds which we experienced later.

From the competition manual, supplementary, image size for the submission is to be 1024 pixels on the long axis; the projector software automatically resizes vertical long axes to the projector max, I've sized this more or less square image to that limitation. Aside from the 'signature' and the fact that I suspect I didn't do my 'end processing' addition of Unsharp Mask on this copy, it's about where I plan on it for submission, including the square formatting. The other specifications for the competition are the specifics on file name for the competition (name, rank, and serial number essentially) and that it be a high-quality JPG.

WW2 Monument at Night, #2 )

I will be interested to hear from y'all how this one fares as B&W after the previous attempt.

Also, I'm still looking for the note I brought home (not from the teacher) which attempted to 'clarify' the theme, explaining this as part of the Mirror theme concept: the reflecting surface, and the object reflected included in the photograph. Even with that limitation, I'm leaning toward including yesterday's post. However, I may not as the objects reflected in yesterday's post are not also included in the photograph.

In this one, yes, the object & the reflecting surface both; and more.

I had a title for this, really I did... )

Another selection which may make it into the Mirror Theme for NCFPC next month. I'd been thinking of what word I wanted to describe the scene as I see it, and it floated into my mind as I started the process of prepping for upload. Since I didn't make a note of it then, it promptly floated right on out of my head without waiting or so much as a by your leave.

Not a great day at Hospital, not a bad one at least for me.

Yesterdays Attempted Posting - Mirror, Mirror in Colour )

Based on feedback, I'm going to theorise that the colour version of this one is going to work better than the monochrome B&W. As to why Flickr didn't want to play nice yesterday, I've no theories. However, this constitutes yesterday posting, sort of, which means that if Flickr plays nice this evening from home, there may be another in this series.

I've been going through both archived work and the new pieces from Sunday selecting ones to work up for this.

Mirror, Mirror )

Today's entry is preparation work for next month's Camera Club competition. I'm embarking on another experiment here, to provide you folks with time to kick me some on whether the image works or not. Camera Club allows me to enter a total of six photos into the critique/competition: 2 in Colour, 2 in Monochrome, and 2 in Creative (Non-photo-realistic). The theme for next month is 'Mirror', looking to get both the reflecting surface and the subject reflected into the photograph.
