It’s not too often that I ‘shoot’ during the middle of the day, but this place was so divine I could not resist a second longer in grabbing my camera gear out. Within no time I had set about finding a composition that I felt summised the place and my ecstacy as well as possible… / / / EOS A2, Fuji Velvia 50. / ©T.Middleton2008 —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— / / / see more from this series and other parts of our majestic coast by clicking below /
This one I’ve intentionally washed out to highlight the eyes and nose. I did a bit of digital cleaning to make the impact a bit more. The cat’s name is Giblet and he’s a real suckie.

mixed media acrylic on wood i woke in the mourning of the night’s dark gaze fixed on me. / it sends endless possibilities under a shroud of sleep. / it is there that eternity can happen in the slow, dull thud below my ribs. / colors, vivid and magical, seemingly spring to life as an entity all their own; independent of the objects they belong to. / her soft skin is against me, surrounding me, merging into my own. / we fall into a tangled pile of limbs and share one another’s breath. / i can feel her within me. / her sould and mine are forever and fused. / happiness. / i wake to find myself heartbroken at the loss of someone who never existed and never will…

Camera maintenance is an important habit to get into, but of course no one has to be too meticulous about it. Hell, housework is certainly not my strong point. This morning I gave my baby (Canon 20D) a spruce up. I thought it was perfect timing with the sun shining and a stunning blue sky – just as you’d expect in Melbourne. Of course at time of writing the clouds have rolled in to provide a diffusing effect to the scenery. :) The camera sensor was due for a little dust removal. So, off I toddled with the 50mm prime lens attached and I set the camera to manual mode and proceeded to take exposures at F/22. F/22 is perfect for revealing those dust bunnies. You know the one’s, those darn spots we remove in photoshop and are a right pain in the ass. What fun – not. Anyway, I soon found a big dust bunny had come to the party. The bloody thing was bigger than Bugs Bunny. Huh, that big bugger was in fact on the rear lens element, so after a few exposures rocket science (a brain wave) soon dictated that he/she had to be exterminated with a quick wipe with a soft lens cloth. Done. Onwards we go to a little fiddling in photoshop and a play with the auto levels option. That was interesting to say the least and clearly revealed those dastardly bunnies at their worst. After a few goes at exterminating them I have a relatively clean baby all ready to take for a spin. Above – Sensor before cleaning Above – Sensor after cleaning Above – Sensor before cleaning with auto levels adjustment in Photoshop Above – Sensor after cleaning with auto levels adjustment in Photoshop I use the Copper Hill kit products as supplied by Quality Cameras in Perth. I have no affiliation with them, but can recommend their prompt and courteous service and cleaning kit products. Of course I couldn’t get rid of all the bunnies, so I suspect the mummy and daddy bunny will make more little bunnies for me to exterminate in the future. Those rascally rabbits.

Ahh yes…revival of an old photo a la the digital phenomenon. There’s nothing like it…now look at the vintage fur and think back to this song by Mary Hopkins: Once upon a time, there was a tavern / Where we used to raise a glass or two / Remember how we laughed away the hours, / Think of all the great things we would do Those were the days, my friend / We thought they’d never end / We’d sing and dance forever and a day / We’d live the life we’d choose / We’d fight and never lose / For we were young and sure to have our way Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di Then, the busy years went rushing by us / We lost our starry notions on the way / If, by chance, I’d see you in the tavern, / We’d smile at one another and we’d say Those were the days, my friend / We thought they’d never end / We’d sing and dance forever and a day / We’d live the life we’d choose / We’d fight and never lose / Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di Just tonight, I stood before the tavern / Nothing seemed the way it used to be / In the glass, I saw a strange reflection / Was that lonely woman really me? Those were the days, my friend / We thought they’d never end / We’d sing and dance forever and a day / We’d live the life we’d choose / We’d fight and never lose / Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di Through the door, there came familiar laughter / I saw your face and heard you call my name / Oh, my friend, we’re older but no wiser / For in our hearts, the dreams are still the same Those were the days, my friend / We thought they’d never end / We’d sing and dance forever and a day / We’d live the life we’d choose / We’d fight and never lose / Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di / Di di di di di di di di di di La la la la la la / La la la la la la / La la la la la la
