In The Pink

[Rob MacKillop]

Don't worry, guys, I'm just exploring. It's not really me. But it is fun, and I'll defend to the death my right to have fun! I've seen pictures like this online, and I've always thought to myself, "Don't go there"...yet here I am. But it is certainly fun!​

One DSG has set sail, apparently--with the coffee! (Damn thief!)

I like your experiment Rob!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Like pink candy cotton at the beach Rob - very tasty

Had to call the 2nd DSG home to fit a more advanced weapons platform....

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Haha. I suspect you just asked him to get you a coffee, Chris. Might be a bit salty...

Actually, the other version with the two gulls - that is the same gull. With three sixty-seconds bracketed shots, the gull had time to pose on different wooden stakes. A pro, you know... With the above shot, I just took one of the three shots, as the other two suffered from a little wind shake to the camera.

For newcomers to this forum, who might be wondering what on earth we are talking about: Chris trains gulls to spy for him - Dodkins Surveillance Gulls: DSGs. It's all top secret, of course...though I think Edward Snowden may have let the gull out of the bag in a recent wiki leak.

Experiment or not it has a lot of very nice things about it, I love the softness where normally people would have tried to go for ultimate sharpness on the wood and gull.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, I had to de-sharpen quite a bit. Thanks for noticing.

A very interesting experiment Rob and quite effective. I prefer the monochrome images but I like the way you explore the potential of these.

As soon as I opened this, thoughts were , this is Rob leaving home clean shaven with a shiny suit. But it shows good execution and acquired knowledge which has produced a generic image.
Doing this often, I recognise it and in many ways it is good practise if only to recognise what others do. Very well executed Rob.

I love it when an experiment turns out. Sometimes you just have to let go...and you did just that. I like it.

Thanks, guys.
