New Year's Party Dress?

On The Run
The picture on the wall in the background depicts what appears to be an actual girl wearing this sculpture.  She is running under the theater marquee.  It is open on the inside and I think that maybe the right sized girl could fit inside.

Umbrella
Nathan does glue his works together according to the video.  A picture on the wall depicts a man standing in the rain under this umbrella.  I suppose that since is is glued it would shed water.

I almost wish I could go back alone and sit and think about these things more in depth.

Art of the Brick I

Untitled Dog
Nathan Sawaya tells a story about growing up in an apartment in New York City.  He asked his parents for a dog and their answer was, "No."  He decided to make himself a dog out of legos and he did.  It was kept behind the couch.  I don't know if this dog was the one or not.  Obviously, he can make a dog.

Gray
Maybe this creation was meant to depict himself as an emerging artist.  Maybe not.  It is non-the-less impressive.

Art of the Brick

Lucas, Loudon and Yellow
After Decker's we went to the Mansfield Art Center to view the Art of the Brick.  It is by Nathan Sawaya.

Pushing Against and Chad
His works are, many of them, life sized or larger.

Sawaya Self-portrait and Odell
I way unaware of the subject of this "sculpture" until after I saw the video where he narrates about his creations.  He, to best of my knowledge, did not mention this work.  I knew from his accurate likeness who it was after seeing the video.

This show closes today.  If you have not seen it, do.  The admission is worth it in my opinion.  It is $10/ for adults and $5/ for children.

Day with Family

Chad and Loudon
I had a great day with Chad, Loudon, Lucas and Odell the other day.

Odell and Lucas
Decker's Lexington, OH
We went for a late breakfast to Decker's in Lexington.  Decker's is closing on Jan. 12, 2014.  

Decker's Lexington, OH
Carol thinks it opened in 1986 or 1987.  It is for sale and negotiations are ongoing.

I thought it would be interesting to interview the owner and give a little report.  I need to be nudged off the fence on that idea.  If anyone has an interest, please nudge me.

Merry Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas 2013

You will be busy this morning with family and friends.  We hope that it has been a good year for you.  The little ones will be up early today.  Hope that Dad and Mom got to bed early last night. 

We are thankful for the warm place to live and the food we have to eat.  Life is short and we are thankful for each day that we are given.  Each one gives us a chance to fulfill our destiny or to do what we want to do.  We get to make choices and live them out to fruition.  Hopefully, we recognize the bad choices and learn from them.  We hope to do better next time.  

This has been a busy year for me, photographically.   I am thankful for the opportunity to show others the world around them.  My part is only a small part.  I am happy that I can do it and say with Edward Weston,  “My work has vitality because I have helped, done my part in revealing to others the living world around them.”  I added over 2000 images to my catalog this year.  Some of them are worth showing and I have tried to do that.  I photographed two species of odonata here-to-fore unrecorded in Richland County, OH.  I must say it was great learning experience for me.  I had not photographed damselflies much previous to this year.  The dragonfly, Slatey Skimmer, is one I had first photographed back in 2009.  This was the first year during which I photographed the Citrine Forktail Damselfly. 

I have created a series of prints titled, "A Vernal Pool."  It will be displayed at Gorman Nature Center after the holidays.

 I did not care, last year, whether I lived until Christmas this year but it appears that I have.  It gives me the opportunity to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Bug Erratum

Pale Ormenoides Venusta
I currently have time to clean up things from my busy shooting schedule earlier in the year.  Jan Ferrall has suggested But Guide.com for spiders several times and I decided to try it on this one.  I looked through pictures of moths, of which I thought this one.  I could not find anything.  I did see an insect image similar to this requesting and ID.  I decided to post it as an ID request.  I received information from Kyle, an 18 year old wildlife enthusiast from North Carolina.  He suggested a pale Ormenoides Venusta, a plant hopper. I looked through the images in Bug Guide of it and have decided that it is, in fact, the Ormenoides Venusta as Kyle suggested.  Thanks, Kyle

Image Rescue

Gorman Nature Center
I was so excited over this shooting opportunity in March of 2012.  The dense fog does not happen often.  I was less excited and even disappointed when I viewed the images on my computer.  There was nothing happening in the left side.  I even tried adding a catkin.

Gorman Nature Center
It did not seem to make the difference for which I was looking.  At the time I decided to just crop it square.  It kind of died a slow death.

Recently, I decided to make a print.  I can't remember why.  The print elicited the same response in me and I decided to rework it from scratch after looking at the print for some time.  Save those raw files!  

Gorman Nature Center
I looked at the new interpretation for several days and have decided that I like it.  I wanted more definition in the left side.  I got it by using "clarify" in Adobe Camera Raw.  I also enhanced the left side by adding contrast in "curves."  The print became a pleasing image to me.  The pleasing color combination of yellow and light blue attracted my attention from across the room whether it was upside down or right side up.  It provided enough detail in the left to interest my eye's forays over there and back to the light.

Erratum: Chocolate Brown Fishing Spider

Wolf Spider






The above spider was erroneously named Chocolate Brown Fishing Spider in a previous blog.  My friend, Jan Ferrell, "The Spider Lady" at the nature center thinks it is a Wolf Spider.  She cited Bug Guild . Net images.  I have finally had time to look at them and agree that it is probably a Wolf Spider.  Sorry for any confusion.

Mounting Block Attachment

Mounting Block Located
Once I have marked locations, I can remove the parts and paint the mounting block.  As mentioned in an earlier blog, I use Glidden 2in1- paint and primer in flat black.  I mask off the underside so that no paint will run there.  PAINT ELSEWHERE not on the mat!  

Treated Mounting Mat and Sandblock
I sand the area where the block will be mounted lightly with 80 grit sandpaper.  Sand lightly because the mat is treated with Print Shield and you don't want to remove it.

I am currently using Devcon Home, 5 Minute Epoxy (5 minute clear)  for the attachment.  It sets quickly and holds well.  I use as little as possible.  I mix on a piece of wax paper and spread onto the block with a wooden sucker stick.  I keep the epoxy away from the edges to prevent it showing.  Upon placement onto the mat, I move it around maybe just 1/8 inch.  This makes sure I have a good bond.  I don't weight it while it sets.  I used to and it made a depression that I could see on the print.

I attach the pull down retainer with Elmer's Glue.  I weight it only lightly and evenly while it dries for the same reason.

Test Print

Test Print
I hung one of my mistakes in the garage as a test print.  It is the one with the larger mounting block and treated back.

It is hung near the garage overhead door opening.  When I pull out and in, the outside air comes in.  My truck engine is hot when I come home and the snow melts off the truck onto the floor where it evaporates.  I feel those are conditions that would test the viability of this method of print display.

Test Print
As you will notice above, It seems to be withstanding the difficult conditions.  It gives me confidence that my prints will fare well at MAC.

"A Vernal Pool" print hung in my home!

"A Vernal Pool" is home for the holidays!  It feels good to have it displayed.  Please stop by if you are in the area for a viewing.  It is not for sale but for you viewing pleasure.  Let me know ahead so I can make sure we have Christmas cookies and tea.

Vernal Pool Print
I went by MAC, Mansfield Art Center, yesterday to view my prints.  Luckily, they were still in the tub and some were curling.  Even the new ones treated on the back were curling.  I brought them home.  I am currently of the opinion that the heat at MAC was causing the curling.  I found that they have their heating plant on a timer.  I was there just after opening time and the furnace was kicking out heat.  I think that caused them to curl.

Exuvia and Photographer Prints
I have straightened them out and hung them.  We are ready to show!

Sweetflag Spreadwing Prints
 I decided to display these together since they show the same damselfly.  I think they could be separated a little more since there are three segments not shown in the gap.  The creature is no longer than 1 1/4 inches.  It is shown in the prints as 22 inches long.  How exciting!

Grasshopper and Damselfly Prints
 I really like the pull downs with each print.

Spider Web, Spider Prints
I have enjoyed making the images associated with Long-jawed Orb-weaver Spider.  You can see the long jaws and an insect being eaten. 

Dragonfly, Frog Prints
Of course, the frog would like to eat the dragonfly.
 
 Holiday Greetings, Everyone!

Where do the Parts Fit?

Part Location Check
Once sure that all parts would fit, I marked the locations on the back.

Final Parts Location Check
And checked it twice.  This is the step in the procedure warranting multiple checks.  It is a good idea to compare the front with the back marks.  I glued one together with the print on the front upside down.  I am currently using it to check the assembly in difficult conditions, my garage.  (More later)

Modifications to Print Creation

Mounting Block Location
I had to check the locations of all parts on the back because of the larger mounting block.


Hanging Hole Location
I use the 1/3 formula for the location of the hanging hole just like I would use for a framed print.  I measure down 1/3 of the distance from the top and center it horizontally.  I then checked whether the new block would leave room for the pull down and retainer.   I found that I needed to drill the hole in the mounting block at 1 1/4 rather than the 1 inch that I used previously.  I also had to trim material off the pull down so that it would slide up far enough.  It all fit together.

"A Vernal Pool" Update

I am writing this last evening.  We had a surprise development today.  I called the Mansfield Art Center, Jerry Francl, to see if he would release me from the contract to show in the Holiday Fair.  I wanted to eliminate any possible repercussions if I were to show else where during the fair.  I said that he would take them back again.  I had just finished the last one on Monday.  I took them over before lunch and they should be hung Wednesday, today.  I will photograph them when hung.

I remade the four that had curled making some modifications.  I attached a larger mounting block for more stability.

Larger Mounting Block
I treated the back of the mount, black mat board, with print shield just like I treat the print itself.

Print Shield Applied to Back of Mount
DO NOT SPRAY IN YOUR LIGHT BOX!  I didn't.  I was just looking for the right light and this was the best shot.

I applied three coats just like I apply to the print itself.  This created additional steps in the production process which I will discuss later.

I discovered while doing these redoes just how durable the Print Shield coating is.  It occurred when some of the latex paint I use on the edges smeared slightly.  I did not notice it right away.  When I did the paint had dried.  I tried to scrape it off to no avail.  I finally, as a last resort, used a dish cloth wet with soapy water.  I was able to wash the paint off the print surface without damaging the print.  I was impressed.

"A Vernal Pool" Prints

Prints at MAC
This "show" has consumed quite a lot of time recently.  Some of the prints curled as you can see in this shot.  I don't know why some did and some did not.  Different backing was not the cause.  I have decided that it is probably moist air or temperature.

I am able to bring them home, flatten them and hang them, at home, and they do fine.  When I take them back to MAC they curl.  This hallway wall is close to the front door which is opening quite often.  "The Art of the Brick" has proven quite popular.  I have tried to treat the backs with "Print Shield" the same used on the prints.  It provides a moisture/UV impervious layer.  It comes in a water based roll on product and a lacquer based spray can.  The roll on product makes the material curl.  The lacquer based spray does not.  I found that treating the back post production is not good.  The mat must be treated early in production.  I have remade the four that curled using the treated mat on the back.  I have also enlarged the mounting block to provide more stability.  I while discuss this further at a later time.

"A Vernal Pool" is currently not displayed anywhere.  I am still working on that.

Larry's Images 2014 Calendar

Larry's Images 2014 Calendar
Someone asked how I got the deer to pose like that.  Here is my answer, " I seem to find the wildlife easier on foggy mornings.  I caught a glimpse of them on the other side of the stream.  They might have been drinking.  I grabbed the camera that I keep set up for such occasions and slowly walked out onto the bridge from behind some bushes.  Their first reaction was curiosity.  They raised their ears.  I shot away with the camera set on rapid fire.  I was trying to zoom out as I shot.  I wanted to show their entire bodies.  They only stood there for a fraction of a second.  I think I captured 3 frames at a rate of 8/second.  They then took off."

At home on the computer, I quickly discovered that I did not have an image with all them in focus.  I did not delete the images but went on to something else.  I found it hard to give up the fetching pose and had an idea.  I knew that I had moved between captures but I hoped they had not.  I found that I had two of the three images which together had them all in focus.  I used focus stacking the PS 5 to combine them for one sharp image.

The calendar has:  the moons, the seasons, holidays/observances, previous/following months and daylight time changes.  I am offering it for $ 4.99.  It is 8 1/2 x 11 and has one 5x7 1/2 in. print along with tear off months.

Water Sounds

Water Sounds CD
Water Sounds is released!  It is another of the projects which has kept me busy during the recent weeks.  I pushed to get it out before Christmas for obvious reasons.  You can listen to sample tracks at my web site, Larry's Images.  There also, you will be given the opportunity to purchase it.  It would make a great stocking stuffer!  I have driven down the cost by fulfilling the sales all myself.  You can purchase either the CD or the Mp3 files from me.  The cost is $ 2.99 for either.  Save shipping cost by buying the Mp3 files.

Sony PCM D50 Recorder on tripod.
I think this device, which I used to record the album, makes really good sounding files.   I am no longer an audiophile but this is great fun.  I like having the files to use as a sound track for slide shows.

I hope you enjoy the album.

Larry's Images .com

Larry's Images .com
My web site has been updated to include the 2013 images I deemed to qualify.  I think that there might have been one hundred give or take.

I have highlighted my shots from a vernal pool at Gorman Nature Center in a short slide show video on the index page called, you guessed it, A Vernal Pool.  This slide show reveals the forty images from which I selected ten or so from which to make prints.  It also shows a little of how I did it.  I have added a sound track again this year.  My wife, Carol, thought last year's sound to be annoying.  I have tried to pick appropriate sound that was not annoying for this show.  If you find the sound annoying please contact me.  I can tone it down to a level where it is not.  Carol is checking it as we speak.

On the web site you will find other new things about which I will blog in the days to come.  Check it out from the link below.

A WORD ABOUT MY RECENT ABSENCE

I have been working on the web site and also the prints titled:  A Vernal Pool.  I did not want the absence to be so long but it was.  I am sorry.

MAC Holiday Fair: Prints Removed

A Vernal Pool Grouping
I went by Mansfield Art Center, yesterday, to see how my prints were displayed.  I was hoping that they would have been hung together because they, together, tell a story.  I knew there was a possibility with space limitations that that would not happen.  I am told that Jerry Francl hung them.  I think that he did a good job.  They are together (good) but in a narrow hallway (bad) with a lot of traffic (good and bad).  The light is nice and diffuse.  I am unsure how they would look at night.  So far, I am happy.

The very next thing I noticed was that many were curled.  They had warped!  I took this shot.  The I noticed that the grasshopper had been dropped on its corner.  I could see that happening in the narrow hallway with people looking at the jewelry hung on the opposite wall.  I went home but I could not stand it.  I did not want them displayed in the curled condition.  I went back and removed them all.  I came home, sorted them out and found that I did not feel comfortable displaying seven of them.  I was, all the time, thinking of what could have gone wrong.  I need to talk to Jerry.  I have an important question to ask.  Were they that way when he hung them?

I weighted two last night and this morning they were flat.  I hung them here at home and have the remaining ones weighted.  I must reproduce the grasshopper.  You might want to wait a few days before you look for Larry's Images at MAC Holiday Festival 2013.

Larry's Images at MAC Holiday Fair 2013


Please look for Larry's Images at the Mansfield Art Center, Holiday Fair 2013.  The show runs from today, Nov. 24 to December 29.  Remember that the early shoppers get the best selection.

I am displaying a series of special prints titled "A Vernal Pool."  They show the vernal pool, a seasonal body of standing water that typically forms in the spring from melting snow and other runoff, dries out completely in the hotter months of summer, and often refills in the autumn. Vernal pools range from broad, heavily vegetated lowland bodies to smaller, isolated upland bodies with little permanent vegetation. They are free of fish and provide important breeding habitat for many terrestrial or semiaquatic species such as frogs, salamanders, and turtles.  (definition courtesy of The Free Dictionary by Farlex)  Not only the pool itself but some of the creatures living in it are shown.  Much of it is macro photography.  There are a total of ten prints.  I am offering the group for a special price of $ 830.00.  Just give the online code, LIHF, to the person at the cash register.

The Vernal Pool
  This image shows the vernal pool.  It is not included in the series of prints.

My prints are mounted to stand off from the wall about one inch.  I call them Faux Metal Prints because they are on Simply Elegant Metal Chrome paper.  They have a captivating look.  They have no frame except a thin stroke on the outside.  I think that you will find them eye catching.

Vernal Pool Print at Henne Winter Festival XII

Vernal Pool
"A seasonal body of standing water that typically forms in the spring from melting snow and other runoff, dries out completely in the hotter months of summer, and often refills in the autumn. Vernal pools range from broad, heavily vegetated lowland bodies to smaller, isolated upland bodies with little permanent vegetation. They are free of fish and provide important breeding habitat for many terrestrial or semiaquatic species such as frogs, salamanders, and turtles."  This from The Free Dictionary by Farlex.

Gorman has several vernal pools.  If I am not mistaken, they are all man made.  They completely fit the definition above.  I have seen them completely dried up.  I have seem them full and over flowing.  I have seen them partially full.  I have seen the little salamanders which live there before emerging.  I have seen tadpoles, frog and toad.  I have see Dragonfly and Damselfly larvae.  I have seen mosquito larvae and much else that I can not think of right now.

This is a print of one of vernal pools.  It is what I call a faux metal print.  It is 18x12 and mounts on the wall in a standoff way.  Please see this to believe.  I think that you will glad you did.

Found Stones printed on Faux Metal

Found Stones
Once the insects stop coming out and the flowers die and the birds head south, I walk the stream looking at stones.  I wonder what they are and how they arrived there.  Once in a while I see interesting colors.  This print contains pink and turquoise colored stones.  The media enhances the effect.  I do this in November, December, January and February.  It is fun to organize the image and capture it.  This has been a very popular image, a must see! 

The Henne Winter Festival XII has many beautiful things as you can see.  Come and view my prints as well as the other art.  You'll be glad you did!

Metal Prints at Henne Winter Festival XII

Iris and Grass Flumes
I have been learning about light.  It was a factor in both of these images.  The Blueflag Iris grows around the pond at Gorman.  This was a morning shot with the light on the flower and the pond, background, in shade.  It created a coloration that decorators love!

The grass is Eulalia Grass.  We have only a few plants at Gorman.  I think that it is a common landscaping plant.  The seeds and "parachutes" form in early November.  This clump is located such that the sun hits the flumes while the background is in shade.  I used a long lens which causes the background to be blurred.  I love the way the light on the grass makes it jump off the print in a pleasing golden hue.  A must see!

Faux Metal and Real Metal

Faux Metal and Real Aluminum
The print on the left of the grass flumes is on Simply Eligant Metal Chrome Paper.  The print of the sunflower on the right is on Booksmart Ready-to-print aluminum.  You have to see these prints to appreciate the effect of the media upon which they are printed.

I began my interest in printing on metal over a year ago.  I had noticed "metal prints" advertised in my Outdoor Photographer magazine.  I was curious about it and ordered some prints as Christmas gifts.  I thought they were beautiful.  I liked the standoff mounting very much.  I began experimenting with the SE paper mentioned above.  It really makes the highlights sparkle.  I developed a standoff mounting of my own.  Unfortunately, my mount did not work with Mary's mounting system.  You can't drive a nail in it.  She did not hang any of them for that reason.  I took 14 prints down to her but she had only space to display 5.  Ask her to show you the rest.  They are all beautiful!  I have taken some modifications to the mount down to her so that she can hang them when space opens up.  I want you to see the standoffs in action.

Henne's Winter Festival XII

GNC Sunrise Metal Print
The little sunrise print is the one I'm talking about.  It is one that I chose to print on metal, aluminum, i. e.

I first heard about printing on actual metal in an article written by Windy Erickson editor of Photo Technique Magazine.  It was in the March/April issue and was titled:  "Untarnished Dreams: Metals for Digital Printing."  In the article she mentioned ready-to-print Booksmart Metals.  I chose the Satin Gold from the sampler I ordered from Booksmart for the GNC Surise metal print.  It makes the reflected light on the clouds literally jump out at you.  You have to see it to appreciate the effect.  I think this print displays best when it is not quite in the direct light, just as Mary Henne has displayed it.  It draws in your eye so that you can not miss it.

There are many nice works of art at the Festival.  Please stop by to see, appreciate and maybe even purchase them.

Effect of the Polarizing Filter

Pine Tree, Oak Tree
I saw this scene earlier in my walk.  It was behind tall prairie grass and I could not get high enough to shoot it.  I finally found a perspective though the light ad changed.

Pine Tree, Oak Tree
Both of these are HDR series shots.  The second one has the Circular Polarizor added.  I notice better saturation in the trees and sky.
