Manipulated pictures only look false if you do certain things wrong.....I see some manipulation as......not necessarily improving a picture....but making it something different....something which expresses my feelings about the scene.
Pictures are very personal. We could both go out and take the same thing, but it would mean something different to both of us, it is because we each have our own ideas about what the picture portrays.

I see pictures I have taken in the past and straight away I am back in that day.....having a rerun of what happened,the things I felt...the words I said.
Photography is personal.

I like your picture with the infra red....but I think the applications will be limited.....or is that just my lack of imagination?

As you know I am not a fan of using software to enhance photos, they always look a little false and not true to the scene but I will have a go with the infra red jobby.
No doubt I will have wasted my money having the camera converted but it is all in the aim for further knowledge of photography.

It makes for an interesting shot, Gremlin.

I had a friend and his wife round this afternoon Margaret and we were looking at some photo from years ago upto recent ones.
I agree with you regarding recalling the events or places where the photos were taken and the memories that come flooding back.
So much so that I closed the box before the tears flowed.

Sometime Russell......you need to travel back to past times. Life can only be lived forwards, but it can only be understood by going back....however painful that might be.
And tears can clean the wounds that time inflicts on us.

Maybe infra red photography is not for everybody but it is interesting to experiment with different camera settings and see the results.
I am the sort of chap who is always wanting to know and learn.
I recently bought a small model airplane engine so I could take it apart to see how it worked, them I re assembled it and put it back in the box. I'm also re reading my GCSE complete mathematics course.
I will post the odd I.R photo when I have "messed about" more because I know they have a limited audience.

It would be great in the countryside at night Russell to see what is about when we are in bed.

Russell it is good that you have an enquiring mind...and that you like to experiment...and you will always have an audience for your pics on here.
Learning is good...but I would have to draw the line at Maths.......it was never one of my strong subjects...in fact I was rubbish at it

Not much to report today, apart from this little chap who was on my car windscreen. I removed him before I set off and set him down on the grass.

I've found a few little chaps myself over the past couple of days

some critters I like...others I can give the swerve...slugs come into the 'swerve' category......Jason I am going to give you a 'like'....but it is for the execution of the photography, rather than the subject matter(although...strangely I don't mind snails)

I'm struggling posting pics on here this week as my internet where I am staying is in and out all the time .I will get back to normal next week
