A lonely photo, (for a kind of lonely forum).

Hello? anyone out there?

[Danik 2016]

Beautiful loneliness! Nobody seems to habit this landscape. And the forum is lonely too. A few of us are still there.

[Dreamwoven]

As Danik wrote, that we are...

The off-centre picture of the abandoned cabin that can be seen through, gives the picture something extra.

[qimissung]

It's still hanging in there, Tony. It looks like a lot of people visit, but they seem to stay hidden. Your pictures are still beautiful. You could be a professional, I think.

Beautiful pics. Tony and North Star. Nice contrast between Tony´s framed landscape under an almost grey sky and the majestic sunset/ aurora of NS.

[Dreamwoven]

I always think sunsets and sunrises make ideal picture subjects.

Sea and sky merge into a continuous blue. The boat and the plants are forms detached from it.

Thanks for taking a look, Danik. I forgot to mention the first two pictures were taken during my recent visit to Kaghan Valley.
The bird is called Asian Koel and it is commonly found in Indian subcontinent.

The pier has a strange wobbly appearance, especially nearer the person sitting at the end...

Your tv-on-the-beach photo sends a strong message, if I may indulge. It left me with the impression that despite the perfection and beauty of nature right in front of mankind, the television is still a necessity. The television take the foreground, nature gets the back. And that is a bleak thought, although mighty true in these times. If this is what you were saying, my gawd, you said it well. On the other hand, it might well be a modern art styled photo. Either way, it speaks, Tony. Wonderful indeed!

The pier photo eases one into tranquil thoughts; the water is smooth as glass and the 'hut' is very inviting. :)

The Balloon On A Beach is absolutely lovely. I, too, liked the contrast.
The Pier -- reminds me of one we call "The Wobbly Pier" up in the North... Someday I will TRY to load a photo of this magnificent beauty.
The hut on the pier seems like just the place that I would love to check out.
Gorgeous photos, Tony! You are talented. :)

Thanks This forum sure is slower than say 4 years ago. i know there's a lot more social media sites out there, but theres not a whole lot of literature forums/sites. Trying to figure out what happened.

[Danik 2016]

I think literary forums where the rage around 2004-2007 when most of them were started. There have been migrations to other social media, but there also has been a considerable decrease of interest in reading and producing literature. There are a lot of literary forums out there but most of them with very little activity. Some of them look like tombstones covered with ads of Nike and Adidas.
I am also in a German forum. It is smaller, but there is currently more activity than on Litnet.

I debate the decrease in reading literature. Certainly the production of literature is on the increase, albeit electronic.

Rothko is one of my favourite artists, and although it's rarely seen in my litnet postings, i have quite a few prints that i've shown which reference him fairly obviously.

Because i've overexposed: this photo looks like a cold and snowy place. i suppose we all like to photograph places not common to where we live.

[kiz_paws]

This photo reminds me of how our northern beaches look towards the end of October ... you can see steam rise if you get up early enough.

Your photo is gorgeous! :)

This is much more saturated, higher calories - but I still do shots like this from time to time. This type of high dynamic range of luminosity is generally not well received in contemporary photography circles. But there is a time and place for it, i think.

[kiz_paws]

The dangling telephone speaks volumes. Wow! Loved that.

The Guard House photo I really loved; the house and foliage stand out against the sky. I agree with 'there is a time and place for it'. Well done, Tony. :)

I love how you have captured innocence ... a wee tot, with his/her chubby little arm, holding onto the finger of the caregiver (be it dad, mom, whoever..)
Were it color, you'd have lost the effect. Black and White totally worked.
Loved it, Tony. :)

I absolutely love the 3d effect, Tony.
There is also something poetical in the circles in the water .. I imagined a very gentle rain causing this splash evidence if you will.
Lovely. :)

thanks, it was a nice gentle rain, i was under the cabana drinking wine. Moment later my neighbor kid knocked over the wine glass with his water gun. Ha! That's the poetry of things!

Glargh! That was a sizeable glass, too!

Lovely colour contrast. How did you manage to make it look like a painting?

[tonywalt]

Lovely colour contrast. How did you manage to make it look like a painting?

the exposure is very long, gives it a fuller colour. i'm using primary colours, often and alot. And I shoot at golden hour right at sunset the light is coming across This has the effect of highlighting essential tones and shapes filtering out extraneous or unwanted detail. It is a method of simplifying a scene. I am looking to simplify my images as much as possible by isolating the subjects against uncluttered clear backdrops while at the same time retaining a sense of the environment in which I found them.

alternatively, if you use a fast shutter speed like on a smart phone, you will get a crisp sharp photographic looking photo. long exposure takes out the sharpness and brings in a painterly somewhat saturated look.

Been away for sometime, catching up on on the wonderful images.

I was in west Texas this past October on business, found some free time to visit Monohans Sand Hills.
A few pics taken with the I phone:

Hmmm, well, I'm trying to edit the above post, reduce and add a couple more, but no luck so far.

Let's see how this works...

Regarding the face image above; a few of the old timers may recall the face on Mars image that NASA captured with Viking I in 1976,

oh, marlbros sold in the UK and here (British) can only show the name once on the front. not the back. It's one of the many many death nails to cigarette sales. (warning messages, taxs to the roof, cannot advertise, cannot display the name but once in very small letters)

BY the way, i dont smoke! but i love rectangular primary colours packaged (and who doesnt!)

Danik, Tony and Kiz_paws, thanks for your kind comments and so glad to know you like my pics. I'll be back with more soon.

Thank you, Dreamwoven. I love taking photos of birds. Asian koel is an extremely shy bird and very difficult to capture especially if it is a female.

Thanks! - i've seen his work, like it!

Gosh, I have missed posting here --- Tony, the last photos are awesome. I had to chuckle at the pimp buckle, ha ha!
The posts remaining of the pier with the long exposure had a cool ghostly effect.

How did you get the "blackening effect"?

I thought it was the movement of the water.

It is the shadow of trees, i underexposed that area more.

I liked how you captured the somewhat bored look of this girl.

[kiz_paws]

I loved that pier ... looks 3D!

The girl in the bar was captured excellently, too... her eyes, wary, keep watch. I'd like to see this one as a black and white .... wonder what effect that would have (no, I am not judging you, Tony. *smiles* ... just thinking aloud if you will).

Keep 'em coming!

I spotted this pair of Indian Robin hopping around. Male is different from female with black underparts while female has mostly grayish plumage. They are very common here and prefer stony and arid areas.

Thanks Kiz. It's off of a reject pile(not the lack of beauty of the girl, but just eh), but i do like long exposure photography. Long exposure is a kind of expressionism, with texture and mood that I cannot capture in conventional fast shutter photography.

Really haunting, Tony. She looks like a ghost.

[kiz_paws]

Her vivid contrast against the background is well done. :)

[tonywalt]

Really haunting, Tony. She looks like a ghost.

Thanks. the long exposure has a haunting effect - cuz of the eerily calm ocean and the overcast sky

[Pompey Bum]

Yes, and also the contrasting perspectives, which are a little unnerving. She's far away, so she's tiny, but she also stands between the verge of the dock and the exact point of the horizon, which makes her a kind of giantess. And obviously the three large areas of different grays contrast with her small red dress. So the focus is on the woman, and all this spooky, stormy energy seems to be emanating from her. It's a great picture.

Very interesting effect, Tony! Not necessarily haunting, but the long exposure transforms the otherwise common scene. The girl might also be a water nymph or a goddess.
