Experimental timelapse scribbling

Still working out how to do this!

The end result (and thanks as always to m’lovely friends who let me misuse their perfectly nice faces)

Queenie

More inky scribbles, and more trying to figure out how wrinkles work.

Blue, black and red ink with a dip pen, A3.


The demon truck

On a photography night-walk through the city I encountered this wonderfully lit demolition site, with the gates open to allow a truck full of debris to exit.  Went too far when processing for noise, but decided I rather liked the surreal effect; it was a pretty surreal scene.

Pen and ink, with a dip pen … I always forget how much I enjoy using the stuff, and then I remember again and fritter away an afternoon in scribbly lines.

Wildlife portrait photography continued …

Keeping with yesterday’s theme of looking them in their tiny little faces.

Wildlife portrait photography

I admit, it’s very small wildlife.  These were taken in the garden this afternoon, playing with a new macro lens  on my nearly new camera.   I’m finally getting the whole aperture/depth of field/shutter/iso interactions sorted in my mind, which is just as well since at this scale the tiniest tweak can drastically affect the outcome.
