I did go out this evening to shoot some new material (including some twilight HDR's) but I haven't processed them yet and suspect, given that it was blowing a gale and I was shooting at relatively low shutter speeds, that they're not likely to be a great success. So, in the absence of anything else to put up, here's another one I shot at the Pleasure Beach the other evening.

Interesting colours and tones - it doesnt blow me away like some of your work, but I like it :)

..very un-chromasia this one, but refreshingly different at the same time. I guess its some sort of reflection but cant work out the ice maiden as it looks less distorted...the dark triangle in the bottom rh corner is bugging me!...

By the tonal range I could say that this could also be a HDR, but I guess I'm wrong. Very different but in the same time very Chromasia style. Love the game between the vertical line that goes from the face to her waist and the diagonal lineof the reflective tiles.

I always really enjoy images of images. I think the range of colors and the contrast really work well in this image.
I thought there was something odd about this image. You have flipped it. I took a similar shot but it looked very drab. I like the treatment you have given this image. The colours in the background fit well with those in the main part of the image. It makes an intriguing mosaic.I will have to have another look at the one I took. I did put up a reflection image a couple of days ago but it was taken a bit further along.
I was down on the prom this evening, didn't realise there was a bike ride on but at least the lights were on. Remains to be seen if anything is worth posting.

Very nice. I really like the angle - straight5 on wouldn't have worked anywhere near as well. I think this is a very typical chromasia shot, and shows how good you are with reflections and the like. Top work Dave.

That's one of you're best shots for ages: the surreal background on it's own is stunning. The sharp image of the skater against it is a stunning contrast: got to be a prize-winner if there's any justice!

I have to agree with Dave here -- this shot is stunning.

Wow, cool shot, very surreal
comment byDarren Birkin at 09:38 AM (GMT) on 30 August, 2006
Interesting. It's one of those shots that you have to think about to work out exactly what the angle is and what you are actually seeing. And I'm not entirely sure I've worked it out. I don't think its one of the best shots here but it makes you think which is probably not a bad thing.
I was inspired by your recent HDR pics to give the technique a try myself. There are some pics I took at the weekend under the "Things" gallery on my fledgling website at www.v11.com. Any feedback appreciated.

As Nev says up there this is "very un-chromasia". If I didn't know better I'd have said that this was one of John Washington's shots.
If this hadn't been at an angle would we have seen your legs dangling below the maiden?

Why not! :-) I'm experimenting with my own photoblog. Please check it out.

Your right Gromski: It is similar to what I might do, but he never seems to quite pull it off

It made me thinking. That is always a good sign for me - and the photo.
Circle, lines and good textures. The colors are a nice pastel which emphasize the presented woman.
Thanks everyone.
John: you wish ;-)
I find this image interesting and a little unusual.
What an interesting shot...
It just draws you in looking for things within it.
