I am in a new phase:
Less production, more revision
Kinda self exploration: Who am I as a photographer? What did I do where do I want to go?

Seelenberg ("mountain of souls") is a place in Hessen, Germany

Your introspective mind seems to be working nicely, Frank. I like the color rendition of the second image that looks to me like a print from a color negative film.

Thank you, Akira
Currently I am culling experimental studio shots from the year 2010, the year I got my Sinar monorail cameras I use for table top work with Nikon DSLR as Digibacks
-
Why experimentation? Because I want to deliver the best for my customers and I do have to learn and practice.
In one case study I took a huge series of old and rare apple varieties like this "Geheimrat Oldenburg".
Yet the experiment was about how to make the apples appear as 3D-popout as possible tuning the positions of the front and read standart on the monorail as well as light diffusion and direction [Apples: 15. October 2010 with Apo Macro ED Large Format Nikkor 5.6/120mm ,,, Artichokes 27 September 2010, same setup,,, Brokkolli landscape 24. September 2010]:

It worked very well for the apples and tulips.

I like these Frank especially the B&W and crop which gives a sinister atmosphere.

Sorry to say that but in that area a lot of creepy mood spills from the roadsides

I like the ethos of this thread, plus a renewed vitality I'm detecting from you Frank
(the result of your "daily sports & veggies"?!)

Was this tulip image was from the Simar/Nikon combination ?
It looks luscious :)

I just found a series that I immediately sorted under athe "ART"-Denominiation in my "NEW ORDER"
It is that I visited my younger brother on May 17th 2008 and at that time called the series "definition", even started to write a text about "how to define a place and time through a photo series". A tad over the top I guess.

And when a psychodelic streak seems to have hit me on 9 June 2008:

It was quite a long shift on the back standart

On 6 January 2007 I really seem to have been lost in the Matrix (or what can happen if you intentionally throw wrong parameters to a panorama set and let the software get really far out of her comfort zone):
Second picture: ALT-EDIT of same set
-
On 1st My 2008 my Alma Mater seems to have been eaten up by biology
-
the picture was
all soft and lovely
yet I needed to add
some aggressive edit to it
to make it appeal
to my bleeding heart
So eat or vomit

There is one thing that always made me shoooot: the vague. here are some examples
EXPLAINER. I am perfectly fit to take any high definition shot. Yet I find that often intentionally underdefined shots appeal to me stronger on the emotional level.

Interesting series Frank, well done!

Thank you Fons. There is still a lot to discover

The more I dig, the more interesting it gets.It seems to me that some wonderful, sensitive, crazy, creative work is lost to my production mania. Meaning: As soon as I made something happen as I previsualized it, I seem to have marked it as "done", lost interest and further irgnored it. I did quite often not look at, review, edit or publish the results...Look at this one shot of an inspiring series taken on 10 July 2008:

Fascinating work Frank.

+1. You’re a very different photographer in this thread, Frank.

Thank you Bruno & a shape echo from the fleamarket rain series ...

A lot of the work is "Family" in the broadest sense, meaning: Kids & friends & holidays
On Easter 2008 we & friends booked a house on the Dutch coast to experience snow on the beach
Why do I call it work? Because I try to keep the shots as valid in a general sense as possible
-
And sometime it just hit me. I helped an elderly person to write his books on a computer instead of a typewriter. When he invited me into his "collector" home full of ... hmmm ... stuff ... some really valuable items, some just scurrilous

Interesting series Frank, well done!
Portraits are one of my favourite sujets

No, it was an escape from mental overload at that time. Once. I could well use some time there again today.
