Just to put it another way...

Advice...if you ever think you want a 14mm EF fixed, it's a great lens from what I've seen on other peoples work. But screw that, spend a bit more get the 17 TS-E! I ain't just building straightening and making things look like toys!

Selective wedge of blur is easy to do post production.

This is just a shallow depth-of-field because the balls are very close to the lens, even at 17mm f14, the background or foreground must be chosen as focus point. Front to back sharpness is impossible to add later (unless multiple exposures are stacked).

That's the real beauty of the tilt on a tilt-shift.

Simply put, a tilt-shift lens is a lens that tilts and shifts, and throws the focus plane off. Sounds interesting, but what is the purpose, and how, or why would you use a lens like that?

Most photography has a "subject of the picture". They consist of "an image of a visual representation of "the subject(s); what/whoever that/they may or may not be."

Here the subject of the picture is.....

It just IS.

These are whatever you declare them to be!

This - I declare - is the visual representation of my unconscious mind.

I WANT TO SEE YOUR COMMENTS AND FEEL FREE TO POST YOUR OWN.

THEREFORE I HEREBY DEDICATE THE PICTURES IN THIS PARTICULAR ALBUM TO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

FEEL FREE TO SAVE THEM, FURTHER PUT YOUR OWN TWIST ON THEM, AND LET US KNOW ALL ABOUT IT! POST THEM ON MY PAGE, POST THEM ON YOUR OWN!

Stuff like this pours out of me when I'm procrastinating on Photoshop and just zoning out. These are things I make without thinking. Basically, this is my Adobe Photoshop equivalent of being called by a really drunk and tearful friend/stalker/woman/stranger/whatevs etc. and instead of listening properly to them you're kind of going "yeah, yeah" every so often while doodling on a newspaper nearby.

I never thought anything about these pictures. Most of the time I just close them without saving the image telling myself "right, get on with your work!"

Well someone saw them while I was showing them something else. Their attention flipped, and they called their friends nearby! To me I was watching a load of weirdos who'd rather look at broken house bricks that happen to be lying on a building site around than at the recently finished groundbreaking architectural masterpiece of the century made from diamond brick dust! Like a record producer wanting to see the bits of paper that John Lenon threw in the bin that the lyrics Mr. Lennon called him down for!

I'm literally breaking new ground in photographic techniques and the people want whatever this is! Ok, here's your damn scribbles! Keep lapping it up. I love you for it!

They're all unique! You try and draw that from scratch! I couldn't! Even though once - I did!

I love my fans and their opinions are the ones that matter! So by request, here's what you've been screaming for! I appreciate it!

They are totally unique because like a scribble on a bit of paper while you're on the phone, you could not for the life of you ever remember how you created that scribble that's kind of abstract but accidentally pretty!

NOW I'M SCREAMING TO SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE! TEACH ME SOMETHING, I'M NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN!

Nice to see that the man in charge of Transport for London is willing to help out at the grass-roots level, directing commuters on their way through the London Borough of Lewisham. Let's hope his lighthearted scarecrow pose doesn't scare the birds away from The Birds Nest!

If you think is quick - no laser sensored shutter trips, no bribes with honey, no days or hours spent with any lasso/pen/quick mask selections. Just me and my friend - Mark 2 5D. Show any photographer the file info screenshot, and they'll laugh and tell you that Mr. PhotoMoments whatever his name must think you were all born yesterday, as yes, to hand hold a camera and successfully get a bumble bee in flight with the eyes as the focus point with a fixed macro lens - takes times a billion! Then again, is the name that chose me!

I wish the iPhone and FB combo wouldn't choose to overlap the pictures! I guess I'll just like them twice too!

This is the result of stacking and stitching 63 shots together. Tripod, spirit levels, and flawless perfection using just the shift and rotate abilities of the -E. is certainly a city with "dynamic range!". My version is about 70 megapixels, so I gave Facebook it's little brother. Taken from top of from just outside the front of Museum Of National Art De Catalunya (if they can't afford the original, maybe FC Barcelona can!

Three edits to the same picture

Me and my iPhone and Creamer and Wesley. Trying out the editing abilities of an iPhone 4s.

For the two days or so I'll be using my iPhone4s as my only camera. May as well travel light and see if a nightmare can be an opportunity.

What Nightmare? Hard disk total failure!

Everything backed up, nothing lost, except the final edits of a fair few photos. Guess it's a second chance to edit them even better, once I've got the computer working again! In the meantime, all I can do is wait for 20 or so hours for a disk clone to be made then another 20 to make a separate disk image. If you want to know my pain Google "dd clone Mac OS X umount diskutil info bs terminal command line" and imagine having to work that one out with no clues to begin with. Anyway, this was taken on a phone. How do you know it's fine art? 'Cos it's in monochrome of course!

Total Moment! Yes it is!

This picture is rare to say the least and favours the patient. There is only a few day of every year where the sun rises at this elevation above Fulham FC, which makes it rare as Christmas dinner!

It's not only rare though, it's possibly unique too!

Have a look on Google Images for mid-flight bullet, cat cuddling rabbit, and raining spiders and you wouldn't believe how many times they've been done.

Sunrise over Riverside Stand of Craven Cottage however....

Looking for just one contradiction that would prove me wrong, I'm yet to find.

Meaning I may well be the first person to have ever recorded this event.

If you have the same picture on Kodachrome 64 and you're laughing wondering if you should tell me - please do!

The dimensions of this picture are 5616px X 3744px (bigger than anyone could ever need - 21+MP)

I'm considering limited edition fine art, certificates of authenticity, or seeing if FFC gift shop wants to sell them and pay me a commission.

Their other choice is say "we don't want it" or pay a guy in one year from now to stand at the same place waiting for the sunrise at 4am hoping it doesn't rain.

If anyone want's to make me an offer I'd consider selling only 1 print and make it completely exclusive for the right price.

1st ever


It's better than a replica kit!

Total Moments has two domains. This is all about the dot photography site which is fine art. The d

Fulham FC Official - did I mention that I hadn't forgotten about you!

I was waiting for .

Google Images and Google Earth and Panoramio and every PhotoStock agency on the internet I could think of did not have a single picture of this annually occurring event known as . Fulhamhenge is not just some name I made up. As there seems to be know known recorded image of it before this date, Fulhamhenge is the name made up by the person who first discovered and captured the iconic image you see before you - (ok The National Archives, that's my bit done! Feel free to file this wherever then carry on with whatever other stuff you Government Organisations do when you're not doing this).

If the sun rises directly behind a building, it won't be visible until it "rises higher up in the sky than the buildings in front of it". By the time this happens the sun will appear more east in relation to you, so won't be "above the building" anymore. When the sun is very close to the horizon it gives off a warm orange/red glow. By the official authority vested in me, I hereby proclaim this phenomena to be named "the "

(I didn't discover or name that Golden Hour thing. I merely proclaim it to be named such because that happens to be what it is actually called, and I felt like . Any official authority vested in me is purely coincidental, badly conceived, and thankfully unbeknownst by me. For those who say that this whole post is just "stating the obvious" about the sunrise over . It's just that nobody happens to have photographed it or given it a name before - thank you, your feedback is highly appreciated!)

It would not have been obvious to me without The Photographer's Ephemeris.

This picture can only be taken for real during a few days of the year. At summer solstice the sun is marginally too far above the horizon to cast this warm glow by the time it is directly above the , because the "Golden Hour® - ©me" (disclaimer: ®+©=not really) has ended and the sky is it's standard blue by the time it appears above Craven Cottage from this POV across the Thames.

Next Fulhamhenge late June to early July 2016 (TBA). See you there!

Equinox is coming late September! Might catch a plane around that date! @?????????????????

Cheers!!!
