Draught beer and shadow ~ at Milano in the Adirondack PARK - Lake Placid NY • click to embiggenI am working on an unusual entry - albeit unusual on The Landscapist - which I hope to have ready for posting early tomorrow. However, if it isn't posted by 8:30AM, it won't be posted until later in the day because I am due at the hospital by 9AM for a 2nd attempt at an electrical cardioversion.
The entry is an attempt to walk you, dear reader, through a start-to-finish look at one of my picture making endeavors.
I can't even begin to explain why I am doing this. It's not meant to be a picturing / processing technique how-to but rather it is meant to be more of a what-I'm-thinking-as-I-do-it* kind of thing - if that makes any sense to you. Or, perhaps a more apt comment is if I can make any sense out of it.
BTW, can anyone tell what's going on in the above picture?
*it = from what caught my eye, picturing it, making my first "selects", processing [RAW conversion and PS], making my final "select", and on to making a print
gravitas et nugalis
Still working on the what-I'm-thinking-as-I-do-it entry - it's a bit more involved that I thought it would be - so I'll get back at it later today. Stay tuned.

I'm looking forward to the posting!!! Also I hope your test goes well.
Take care.

Best health wishes Mark.
I, too, hope the procedure goes well.
As for what's going on in today's photo, it looks like someone's doing the "straw-as-capillary tube" trick, dipping the straw in their drink, putting their finger over the end of the straw, and pulling up a straw full of some tasty beverage.
What Stephen said and add contemplation/thinking or day dreaming. The empty pad makes me wonder "What is he going to write."
Good luck with the medical procedure, Mark.
Interesting pic - almost like a composite of a colour image and a B&W image.
Look forward to your next post.
Better get well, because this I am really looking forward to!
Going on? My guess is cold beer on sunny day at a café and the shadow of someone holding a pair of sun glasses?
