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

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

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.

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

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.
