Flower Power

kweide — Sun, 18 Jan 2015 07:27:45 +0000

While testing an older type lens on Bokeh i asked her to wear those “flower-crown” as well. Just to spice it up a bit. Look what she did. And i had the idea to produce some really flower powered new pictures derived from Mother Nature idea. Easy to produce and colorful

What´s inside …

Have a close look to see what´s inside and you can discover more details of a personality you ever thought. Don´t be shocked to see surprising characters, just let it flow and enjoy the play of power.

And if the girl has the Dragon inside, accept it, it is a wonderful new experience and a fantastic chance to do complete new scenes.

Rock it !

Rock IT ! And he did it !! I think he did it very week. To get the most out of this scene i converted it into a strong, contrasty and grainy B&W picture. You like that ??

Sovereign

She is the sovereign of the world. She plays with them, judging which is best, she is neutral, she is blindfolded. She has the power to let live or to destroy all life. She is not only the sovereign of the world, not only the protector of mankind, she is his assistant as well. So she knows his will and can act in his name as well. The power is within her…

Passion

This one at last. It shows how intense the fight was. How much passion and power both fighters brought to the ground. Crossing blades, sparkles around them. But only one can be the winner. You already know the outcome. Enjoy

Power of voice

The voice is a powerful instrument and often massivly underrated. With voice one can impresse, steer discussion, cause extreme emotions or simply use it as a weapon. This guy at the left, used it as such and powerfull and loud as well as a concentrated scream.

Screaming loud against his opponent caused him to fall down,, to nearly give up. Yes it was fun, just a fight demonstration at a medieval market. But impressive enough to create this picture for you. Here i tried to visualize his vocal power by the structure in the upper part of the picture which fills the complete room and made that pressure forcing the right guy :) to bow his knees and to fall down as well….

Her power…

Her power comes from above and from underneath.From the universe and from mother earth. That is the way of the galactic warrior ?? No, this should be very normal for everyone. But she realized that and focussed her life. She is the samurai´s wife. She walks the way of Bushido, it is her way.

Show me ..

Show me the power. This is again a special wish from her. And yes, it is a fun, it is a you to do so. It is only a few minutes of work to produce the visual effect but it lasts a lot more time to get the picture itself on the cf card !!

What helped here, was just the fact that she is already well trained in posing and knows herself what fits best. So she did it. Simple !

Unusual view

“Sweetheart, this cruising ship is amazing. I really enjoy sitting here in the sun looking onto the blue sea. Come on, take some nice pictures.” You see ?? You understand ?? Fxxxx is again in your head, no relax, no refreshment. But you hear yourself saying “Sweet idea, darling, wonderful as you said ” and you grab your camera with a deep big grin in you face while sitting in your chair put it overhead and KLICK here we have it.

a wonderful and unusual picture. Both are served. And another thing just happend. You got appetite of doing more such pictures. Now go, walk thru the ship always looking for unusual views.

Sometimes you just stand in front of them. You just have to LOOK and arrange it a bit in your viewfinder.

It is so easy, you can even do it with a P&S camera. No hightech cam needed. Just your feet, your eyes and a bit of taste. So have have fun and use your vacation for unusual pictures. They will find their place in your photobooks and your guests after the travel will see them with open eyes and open mouths…..

And dont forget the view onto the blue seas….. All of them could be done with a simple and cheap P&S cam. Keep this in mind. But look out. In some cases, with bright and shiny parts or bright white areas you may dial in a + Compensation, perhaps +1 or +1.5 EV. No tricks, no miracles, no massive post processing. Have fun.
