THE SUBJECT: / This mysterious woman in masque is Beverly, a fellow member of the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club. She has the most lovely green eyes. THE LOCATION: / The portrait was made during one of the club’s studio nights back in the days of my old workhorse the Fuji S5500 and when I was shooting naught but high resolution jpg. THE MAKING of ‘Masque #4’: / We found out at the last minute that our model could not make it so with the aid of a few props Beverly stepped up to the plate as a stand-in and did a great job. / Lighting was provided by a studio light set-up that I activated by setting my pop-up flash to its lowest power, fitted with a homemade diffuser. / Fuji S5500: Manual settings of f/9 @ 1/100sec, ISO100, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3.

Worn to ward of evil.
I was born in Northern Ireland and now live in London. I have been a missionary now for 15 years. When we first met Susan on a mission to a rural village in April 2007, she was in the later stages of death. Her body was infested with intestinal worms. Medicines would not work. I prayed for her in the village, along with two other mission volunteers. We left to continue our journey. But God spoke to me, and we returned that evening and put her in our old battered vehicle and brought her to our mission centre. We continued to pray and command death to leave her alone. 5 days later and God completely healed her. Now as you see, Susan is completely healed. She shares her testimony with us on missions into other villages and many have also received healing and hope. Praise God! Please help us to continue to reach others in need and extreme poverty.

Another attempt at something a little bit different for me. I generally stick to colour, but I thought I would try converting a few of my images into mono. The original colour version is below (click on the colour image to view it properly). Colourful Gondolas full of tourists, Vaporettos full of commuters, cruise ships and pleasure boats of all kinds can be seen navigating the wide Giudecca Canal in Venice, Italy. In the background is the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, designed by Andrea Palladio and located on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. Facing the Bacino di San Marco, the church plays a central role in the panorama from the Piazzetta. (Information supplied by Wikipedia). Single RAW image Tonemapped in Photomatix Pro 3.2. Camera: Canon EOS 450D (Digital Rebel XSi in the USA) / Sigma 18-200mm lens / Exif data from the JPG / F-stop f/4.5 / ISO 125 / Focal length 33 mm BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at: Venice or Italy.

Image taken from the conductors seat of a train. I frequently find myself becoming obsessed with the images I see looking back through my sideview mirror. Tends to be a bit distracting when I’m driving a car.
