I found a few more from my trip to Bergen that I would like to share with you. These I took with my Leica MP and Summilux 35mm f1.4 (As far asI remember).They could have been shot with the Nikon 20mm on an adapter I didn’t make a note.Still I I spent a pleasant hour or so this morning scanning a few few negs and I thought I’d share them. The back streets of Bergan are a very interesting street walk I didn’t see so many tourists that day while wandering the back streets There are other more famous tourist magnets in the town itself . So my wife and I had it mostly to ourselves.

End Of The Road.

That’s appropriately what this filter effect in HDR Efex pro is called.I first converted to B&W and did a sweep with the history brush in PS CC before firing up HDR Efex pro

Walking with Rhinos: Where’s Ralph

Walking with Rhinos: Where’s Ralph, a photo by Davidap2009 on Flickr.

Go Rhinos .“Where’s Ralph?” pays homage to Marwell’s international star – Ralph the Humboldt penguin. Every year Ralph loses his feathers faster than the other penguins, leaving him exposed to the elements. The team at O’Neill heard about Ralph’s plight and offered to create a special custom made wetsuit that was perfect for the little penguin. You can meet Ralph in person at Marwell Zoo but see if you can find him on this rhino.

About “Not a Target”

Julien Masson of Artsim was keen to design something that was clean fun and good to look at but mindful of the plight of rhinos in the wild. He chose the distinct patterns used for target practice and covered the rhino with them. “I like the idea of attracting but also repelling the beholder and hope it’s understood that I’m not trying to make a simple joke and that there is a serious subject matter behind this piece”.
