Encounters in the dark forest

… or better: When an angel arrived… guided by the warm golden Light of heaven, touching the ground, spreading the wings. Preporing her clothes for the upcoming tasks. Whatever that will be. Even the wild wolf is standing still, looking, Will the wolf be the new companion of the angel ?? Who knows …

Again E-M1

This was just a fun idea but we realized. Yes it is strong colors, massiv contrasts as well but fun, fun, fun. Enjoy it with us. It is an example of what you can do with a simple portrait of your subject and by adding some details to achieve a total different look and to create a story…

OMD E-M1 again …

Second Of Five

Did you ever watch Star Trek Voyager ?? Remember the stunning Seven of Nine ?? The Borg drone rescued and again mad “human” with a rest of Borg technology still implanted ?
Well here is my interpretation. I call it “Second Of Five”. Sounds ok, Have fun with the new movie poster.

Oh, again the Olympus E-M1 did that job together with the miraculous Metz speed lights …

From the land of fairies, elves and other mythical creatures …

Enjoy them, enjoy what you can do with a portrait. Starting point is always a classic portrait with all the stuff you already know. The make up, the tricky hairdressing, the wardrobe, the pose, the facial expression and all this little things need to compose an attractive portrait. Do not forget earrings, necklaces and such stuff girls always love.

After this is all done you can start the second part of the job. Cut her free from the background, layer it, compose the mood you have in mind. Add some other things to the layers for adjusting. This is something which need some experience. You should already know what a layer is and how a mask is working. Otherwise you will fail. But here, it was fun, fun and again fun.

Daidiri again

kweide — Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:39:38 +0000

You know, i do have an outer space contact called “Daidiri! who is an Annunaki Princess and she is of a special kind. She suddenly appeared while our shooting with Sandra was ongoing and Daidiri was, hmmm let´s say, a bit angry. She wanted to be in the set as well, with the same costume. Well, Sandra and i looked at each other and we agreed. In a a second Daidiri was prepared. She is a wonder. Dressed up in a second.

And look how she did it. I printed the picture and she was again very happy and in a second she disappeared, leaving us and the costume behind her. Well, a satisfied princess may save lives .. one never knows. It is always good having friends.

Mother Nature or The birth of a Universe

As i told before: Be creative, be inspired. It is a simple and easy process to think about a picture. You may use the classic painters as source for your own inspirations or your very personal phantasy, dreams or emotions for expressional work. This one here, derives from an idea i had in the evening, while watching TV :) What a lousy TV show it was. But that gave me room to develop this idea. Next morning i realized it. Do you like such ??

The Picture is done in the same simple way than ever: Olympus EM-1 + M.Zuiko 12-40, one spelling Metz 58 in M mode, cam in M mode as well.

Daidiri …

As already said, Daidiri is always good for a surprise. So this morning, when she suddenly arrived. Totally alone this time and she started to redress herself, asking for a picture in the style of the “Haremsgirl” series. I had no chance to resist. So i took her wish as order and produced. Here you see the outcome.

Daidiri, my out of space contact, the Anunnaki Princess

Daidiri is back

I think you remember Daidiri the Anunaki princess from a far away galaxy. From time to time she visits Earth with her Guards, her girlfriends. Du to her human-like look it is easy for them to stay hidden in the mass. Enjoying the wild life her on our planet. And it is always a joy for her visiting my without pr-announcement, like this time again. She smiled in her own princess way put on her aggressive Daidiri or Anunaki make-up, i am not sure about that and asked me to do my job again. Well i did it again and she liked it much.

Jou should know that on Diadiris homework it is absolutely unknown having photos as large prints. Only Daidiri has them now, printed by me in DIN A2. Daidiri told me that everyone who see them wants them too, asking her where they were done. But she answered just with a silent smile. Good idea !

Snail

Back home from a trip full of impressions and tons of new pictures. Exhausted, tired. Taking the last steps from the car into the house. The camera bag over the shoulder. Happy to be home again. But suddenly a colored spot. Small and to my right. I decided to stop and to look a bit closer. A snail, a very small one. About 1.5 cm long slides beside my way. Okay, i think, here comes the macro. Just threw the M.Zuiko 60 onto my E-M1 and snapped the pictures right away. Exhausted or not…

Arg, it should be a focus stack but that damned snail is moving, slow but fast enough to prevent a stack. I tried different apertures and their effects on sharpness and bokeh. Well here you see the little guy with f2.8 and a wonderful creamy bokeh

The Tourist

Angels are Tourists as well. They do not only execute the will of their Boss. Oh no. They travel as well and do a lot of fun things. Here you can see on of the angels ready for another sightseeing :) And Always keep in mind: They are in direct connection with their Headquarter and ready to act within a second. Always prepared to act..

Olympus E-Cam, what else ?
