About

It rains here 8 months of the year...

Nothing wrong with it unless you wear a wetsuit everyday :-)

It's my opinion that when I "see" something I want to photograph I have to learn to bridge what my eyes see and what the camera sees; in addition, I have feelings to convey, emotions to put in a graphical language, and I'm convinced that for everyone this is one of the most difficult conversion of expression.

When I saw this weed hanging this way, shaped by the weight of the water it was carrying, I realised I was seeing it through some sort of tunnel vision, I was blocking the background and the other weeds around it. It stood out for me as the only thing in the garden. The only thing that required my complete attention.

The reason I love lensbabies is because they allow me to record what I "see" when I'm in tunnel vision mode. I find the provide me with tools to reconstruct in images my complete experience of the moment. Later, I would enhance what I see with basic postprocessing. For me it's elevating the intensity that lasted a few seconds in way that trascends time, it's an amplification of my experience... Just for you!

Enjoy!

Beautiful and evocative of our lovely coastal climate! The superimposed layer makes it appear as if photographed through glass. It' effective, but also good without.

Glad you like it dear Nicole. The posted image was made out of the second capture, so essentially, they're the same; the first one is my experience, the second is what the camera saw ;-)

Always the best dear Nicole...

Thank you so much! This is so very beautiful, and much happier in mood. They are both very lovely-- cannot decide which one I like best.
Thanks for the offer, dear Francisco. I was just curious to know what sort of picture it was. If you wouldn't mind posting it here, I'd be grateful and happy to see it. Thanks so much again.
Best regards,
M.

Thanks dear Minoo... I'll gladly attach the original, unmodified version of this image. I will look for the layer I used for Anais; would you like me to posted here or e-mail it to you? If you prefer the 2nd option drop me a line at the email in my profile.

So beautiful!!!
Fantastic capture of the weed and the rain drops. A wonderful realization.
Again, I like the layer you used, but would have loved to see it also without the layer. By the way, from the images you displayed in the 'about' section, I found your series of Anaïs, each one of which is fabulous. However, I am really curious about the layer you used there. May I dare ask what it is?
Best wishes,
M.
