' memories of a winter morning '

I haven't been intentionally avoiding photography, but it seems a while since I've been out specifically for photography. Between getting the golf season started in Myrtle beach over a month ago and a shed project at the cottage the cameras have mostly sat dormant.Things will change with a short photo specific Algonquin adventure to start next week.

Leading up to that, I've been looking at some previous images marked for processing and some notes about techniques I've made over time. My Canon R5 allows for in camera multiple exposure and I want to become familiar with the options and possible results using this feature. For now, I've experimented with simulating the anticipated effects with some post processing.

COVID lockdown has me sticking fairly close to the house these days and I must admit, I find my creativity suffering under pandemic fatigue. Fortunately I've been keeping a list of image candidates for my Photo of the Week. Coming to you from the archive, is this weeks pick ...

 

F-F-F-Flat Iron

I've previously experimented with multiple exposure techniques after discovering the work of  Pep Ventosa, Stephanie Jung and others, using both in camera and post processing techniques to create impressionistic images.

Here, I've used a number of original frames of the Gooderham (Flatiron) Building in downtown TO from a number of years ago in addition to some post processing manipulation for my version of the effect..

Photo of the Week 2015-03-30

I've been working on processing a number of images for a Fine Art series for well over a year. Yes, well over a year. Made on a trip to Italy in 2013, I have been using a different processing approach to transform the original captures into something unusual, at least for me.

The idea for the series came to me while reviewing images from the trip and reliving what I experienced while making them. Not just the memory of being back there but the sense I had while working to capture what I saw and felt at the time. Struck by the knowledge that these scenes and locations were far older than anywhere I had been before, if I closed my eyes I could almost feel the past. It was as if there were echoes of previous times merging with the present. For this series I attempted to create the visual equivalent..

"ECHOES" (a work in process)
  Echoes are reflections, arriving some time after the direct sound
  Echoes are reflections of prior events
  Echoes grow fainter with time, some blur, others twist, turn and move
  Echoes can be indistinguishable from the original

These are a few of the images that I'm happy enough with to share. The series still remains very much a work in process. My approach to processing may continue to be refined over time as I select more images to transform.

Ultimately, I'd love to see these up in an Italian restaurant or banquet hall. I'll have to work on that.

I'm always interested in feedback from those who follow my blog or those who just stumble on this post. Feel free to use the comment section or send me a personal message.
