Based on what you see in the pictures, you may want to suggest alternative titles. These images were created by cropping, altering the tonal balance and increasing the contrast; however, any creativity is in the taking of the original photos and not in any subsequent manipulation.
Given that previous posts have proved popular with readers, I plan to add new posts in this series quarterly in future.

splash!
I love the fireball one, and with the interstellar overdrive I can actually see a face shape in it - and I've not had a drink yet either, ha ha ha. My favorite was the splash though. It's got a crazy look to it and looks more like a painting than a photograph so it's my best one. Great pics Dennis.
ReplyDeleteJust the one face Rum? I can see at least six (although I have been drinking). As for Splash!, it looks like what it is, if that makes any sense.
DeleteFireball is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThese are truly magical, Dennis. I love your titles as well, they tell me something about your imagination. I really don't have a favorite, but Splash-the title and the photo-seem at least to me to go so perfectly together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marty. I’ve been accused of having a ‘weird’ imagination, but I’ll leave it to others to decide whether such an accusation is justified. However, the titles do reflect what I see in the pictures.
Deletelove these images. Also I like the way you name them. "night and day" seems to extend the imagination from the visual effect, "interstellar overdrive" give me a "naughty" modern cartoonish impression. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteWell, I do encourage viewers to use their own imaginations Yunyi, and you are certainly doing that. I would agree that Interstellar Overdrive has a “cartoonish” feel to it, rather like Ghost in #4 in this series (which you didn’t think looked like a ghost!). Both images are of course from the same source.
DeleteAll very good, Dennis. The last one is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteBut can you guess what that last one is a photo of Ana?
DeleteMy favorite one is "Interstellar Overdrive" it even sounds sexy ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't know about ‘sexy’ Angie, but Interstellar Overdrive is the title of an instrumental on Pink Floyd’s first album (which is where I filched it from).
DeleteI really like them all, but I can't stop staring at "Interstellar Overdrive." It contains all kind of images for me. Maybe it's a long range flashback caused by ingestion of banned substances while attending a Pink Floyd concert decades ago...
ReplyDeleteIt might be a flashback Pat. I never saw Floyd live, but their first two albums were de rigueur on the stereo when I was experimenting with “banned substances…decades ago”!
