I love your new departure, Rob.

But be careful: You just may be unintentionally teaching some of us how to be creative.  ;)

This reminds me of a comment by a famous landscape photographer that I took a workshop from a many years ago. It took me a long time (decades) before I realized that his comment really held the essence of creativity in photography, in one word:

 "Look!"


-Eric

One thing I've recently discovered is that when something looks intriguing in another, quite different photographic idiom to the one(s) that one happens to like, it's fairly simple to adapt it to suit one's own interests.

I used to worry somewhat about being derivative, but then I realised that even the cats I though great were also basing their stuff on the shoulders of past giants. In mitigation, I don't think anyone can be so close to another's point of view as to acually copy them - unless they set out to do exactly the same shot - so perhaps these have been worthless concerns. At the end of the day, you can only bring yourself to the table. Thank goodness! Were it otherwise, we might all as well sell up.

Twice holds better

A recent evening walk in Berlin led me unexpectedly alongside a prison. A good example of how the Fuji X-Pro2 works in low light conditions (ISO 12.800, ACROS-SW-Simulation)

Twice might hold better but will it be enough? Check out the getaway scooter!

I like that; remember, though, the guy with the mighty forearms is crazy.

Rob

P.S.

I see your tiles are as 'artistically' fitted as mine. As with so many things, the artisanal arts have gone with the last, pre-tourism generations.

P.P.S.

I recall suggesting folks look around the house, if they feel there's nothing to shoot; always is.

Raises the question: Can you mix oil and water? Or Olive Oil and Hot Water?
I guess the guy with the mighty forearms probably could.   ;)

And if you mixed it with Olive, you were in hot water already. The question would then be: which sort of hot water' Psychological or physical?

Ah, philosophy. No wonder it turns one to stone.

You can. High voltage electricians know that procedure as Spratz-Test. You may experience impressive results.

I rather liked a blog entry on The Online Photographer the other day, wherein he launched an attack on previsualisation and lauded the role of chance.

I just discovered that this was not on The Online Photographer, but elsewhere. So in order to put the world to rights:
