Wandering around my bedroom with a cup of tea on Saturday.

Untitled #1 (Vast And Living)



Untitled #2 (Evidence Field/God Is Dead)



Untitled #3 (Half An Acre And What We Did)

Taken on Easter Sunday, which was sunny and bright a day. Ideal for some sinister reflections on the fundamental otherness of this indifferent and alien thing that is Nature.
I'm half-inclined of starting a short film project that will ultimately unmask this false... inconspicuousness that Nature uses to fool us all... while She's just there as She always had been:
waiting
lurking


Ixus (the first one) and GH2 (the two others); MB PhotoLook and FilmConvert.

Loving all three of those, especially the first & second ones.

[GoatFoam]

I think this is my entry.

Not getting out much (or doing much of anything for that matter) but here is something I took recently(ish).

Shot of an open space (sky) taken from within an enclosed space (house, through window).


Taken with a DMC-FZ150 1/80Sec F/3 6.1mm

Nice. This month is shaping up nicely.

24 hours left, still time to get something in folks!

Worthy mentions:
Meow - I liked the factory and the open road shots a lot, I like the first couple of supermario's too, though no so much the last one which is the entry by default.. Portland's beach shot is a cracker too but when it came down to it, the standard of entries this month was so high that it meant I can really be picky on the technical standard and creative input in the photos. I must admit I do have a clear favourite this month but I'll leave my vote until the end to see how others feel about the entries..

[RiK]

Got to say I'm really pleased to see some quality entries this month. It's great to have a comp we can judge on the quality of the photography for a change!
