Hey - B&W! It's great - I like how the image is bright white in the lower left transitioning to black in the corner opposite. And there are great textures too. Keep them coming!
Cheers!

Very intersting LMC54!
What does you name mean?
By the way I really enjoy abstract shots, especially B&W versions.
Which camera did you use?

Larry,

Very good powers of observation, and great use of depth-of-field again to give the image texture. Black and white works great here. Really like the curves of the image...thanks for sharing this and keeping things interesting.

Best regards,

Robert

Hi Larry,

I wonder where you get the ideas for the photos that you post. I am usually impressed with the quality of the work that you do but as Robert stated I am beginning to get scared of the way you find things and create interesting and technically superior images where I would not see anything worth photographing. I would like to get past the stage of photographing things that are interesting in themselves and learn to do what you have done which is create an interesting image. I think that by viewing your posts I can learn some of what the camera is capable of doing and try to do it myself. I don't want to sound self deprecating as I think my photos are good but I would love to be able to do what you do time after time.

I think most of my life I did hand sketching and some oils. Mostly had to draw what was inside my head. I guess this is what shows in my photos. I think of photos in reference to canvas work. Your kind words always motivates me and keeps my interests up. Thank you Stan.

You can use almost any source for lighting in a photograph. You just have to see the effects of the light source and then make a decision on how to manipulate it. Lets say you have a 100 watt direct light, to soften that you would get whte poster board and point the bulb at it and then direct the poster board to the subject. Or you can use a wall in your home. Mercury vapor lights like in a normal kitchen are natrually soft since the bulb is comprised of a long tube with white shielding then housed in a fixture that even furthers the diffusion. Mercury vapor is naturally on the blue-green side but can be corrected easily with your camera settings or with PS. Reading lamps with quartz elements with a goose neck can be nice to use in a home studio. Just use white poster board as reflectors. Also it is good to use cloudy days to do still lifes. That is the best diffused lighting there is for free. I hope this will help a bit DL. Just play around, that is the best way to learn.

I really like this--nice range of greys, fluidity of subject and perspective carry your eye into the image.
