Probably planks, but I like the alliteration.
I took this a few weeks ago and tried to get the bolts running across the photo, with one of the lines of bolts running from one corner to another. The space I had for this angle didn’t allow for that, and I think this works out to be better for it because it’s less based around a central line; the rest of the space still matters.
I hope you enjoy.
Yet another reference photo, and an odd one. I was trying to be somewhat intentional with how I was posing, but also a bit loose. I didn’t want to come off as rigid and I wanted to be clear. I think this works well as an idea to explore. It would probably work much better with different hand form, but I think it still works well enough.
This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week. This one is hosted by Brian of Bushboy’s World, and he has chosen the theme “Ceramics”.
This challenge is open to all, and I recommend joining in. If want to, check out more information about it here, and include the tag “monochrome-madness” when you share your photo. If you’d prefer not to join in, then at the least check out Leanne’s photography, and what other people submit.
I hope you enjoy.
A day can make for many wondrous things to see.
I hope you enjoy.
I think this photo is both intense and and not at all. It’s a reference photo that turned out well in terms of expressiveness, but it also feels really self-indulgent.
I hope you enjoy.
This is a scene from Breath of Fire IV. Specifically, the scene where Kahn bursts forth from the sea in a wonderfully dramatic fashion. I thought it silly enough to want to capture it in MS Paint.
This took nearly three months to do. Not continuous work, and a good chunk was done over the last two-ish weeks. A lot of dealing with the aftermath of my relationship ending, and a few depressive spirals thrown in for good measure. I only had the energy to work on this here and there for a good while.
Cleaning up the clouds took a long time and I had to push myself to do it, because that felt more like busywork than any other part. Had trouble with the rainbow colours, too. Not what I’d hoped, but they work fine enough.
I left out the lens flares of the scene as it was more time I would’ve spent when I needed to move to the next thing.
Could be better, but I’m happy with the result.
I hope you enjoy.
As it’s an Australian landscape, this could almost be any time of the year. However, it was taken earlier this year in Bathurst in March, so our autumn time.
The landscape feels all moody and dry to me. A sort of starkness, though not quite.
This is my submission into the three hundred-and-sixty-eighth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Looking Back to Lens-Artists Challenge #106: Autumn“.
Had a quick look at what I did for #106, and this has a different feel, which I think in this case reflects more of what I look for in scenery and location than my previous submission.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
This one is curated by John. The next one is curated by Leya.
I recommend joining the community and participating in the challenges. They’re pretty straightforward, allow room for interpretation, and provide a good way to think about photography in general. If not, however, then at the very least you should check out what others submit to the challenges.
I hope you enjoy.
This photo, whilst a reference, was one I took with a specific idea in mind. I think it would work better in better conditions and slightly different framing, and perhaps with two people rather than just myself gripping my arm, but it still gets an idea across.
I hope you enjoy.
This photo turned out well. Could have less noise, but I feel that how the shadows fall upon it make it appear striking, or at least sharp, in a sense.
I hope you enjoy.
Two sails of The Sydney Opera House, though with an intentionally obfuscating framing.

What you can see here is part of a structure rusting away. Layers are revealed, but this has been exposed to the elements for so long that now it’s more rust.
This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week. This one is hosted by Sarah of Travel With Me, and she has chosen the theme “Ruins”.
It’s not quite a building, but it is part of a structure that has decayed. The structure is as though ruins, in a sense.
