don’t resist them
that only creates sorrow

let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like’

imagecraft bootcamp – keystoning
This post is a response to the tough new challenge from Mitch Zeissler, Imagecraft Bootcamp, which is hosted on his own site Exploratorius and on Lucile’s bridging lacunas.
My original image was shot with my Nikon D700 with Nikkor 16-35mm f/4 lens set at 16mm, ISO 3600, 1/125s and f/4. The image was a ‘throw away’ from a set of images I captured for a previous post (the) walking (with the) dead
My intention was to focus on the stone table and funerary urn at the back of the shot. The images below show how I progressed from the original untidy image to the image that I wanted.
Of course, had I attached my 70-200mm zoom in the first place then I might have captured the same thing in camera.
But it’s the taking part that counts, right?

boundaries
‘A question with no answer is a barrier that cannot be breached. In other words, it is questions with no answers that set the limit of human possibilities, describe the boundaries of human existence.”

*shot with nikon d700 and nikkor 70-200mm f/4 lens at ISO5600, 1/125s at f/4, edited in lightroom cc and analog efex pro 2, reflection on boundaries that should never have been crossed*
a walk in the woods
“I want you always to remember me. Will you remember that I existed, and that I stood next to you here like this?”

shooting people (cycling)
“Oh, to just grip your handlebars and lay down to it, and go ripping and tearing through streets and road…”
– Jack London
(elsene and molenbeek, brussel, belgië)
Once a year, the streets of Brussel close to motorised traffic, well except for buses, taxis and people who think they know better.
And then, well then, the people take to the streets by cycle, scooter and board.

fly past
“The Guide says there is an art to flying”, said Ford, “or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”

sometimes when you’re feeling down
it pays to look up
i literally just took these shots
watching them circling up
and flying away
to who knows where
i hope, they find their
place
