February 24th

A deliberately blurred picture of Ben at the beach from my archive, processed via the Film Noir preset of Silver Efex Pro.

WIll my desire to pick up my camera ever return? It has been 9 days now!

[Sharon Lee]

I really like this, the angle, reflection, light... everything. fav

[Robyn]

Superb fav - and yes, you'll get the urge soon I bet!

[Gail]

This is lovely... the whole feel you've created is so nostalgic. Well done, Sean.

[Jan Penny]

I really like this shot

[Chris]

Great photograph, Sean and super processing.

[Gemma]

Your just having a lull, I'm sure it will come back. You are far to good to hang up your camera for good x

[Gemma]

Busy times don't help either, I can empathis with that at the moment :-( x

[Paul Godfrey]

I am sure it will be back. Great noir effect on the shot.

[Ingrid Budge]

Love this Sean - great processing. Buy a disposable film camera !! Wait for them to be developed - that's exciting. You will get the urge back - your work is lovely - very varied and you're good at whatever you do!!

[Penny Milner]

Cool!!! Yes you will get the urge to pick up the camera again! I had a bit of a hiatus for a couple of months! Sometimes you just need a break

[Cheryl Kreis]

Fabulous shot!

[Lyn]

I can learn almost everything I need to know just by watching what you're doing with Silver Efex. I have just begun using it a bit, so love seeing what you've done!

[KWind]

The blur is fabulous! I like the tilt and the dark border too.

[Richard]

great shot

[Donna]

love...

[Susan]

i like it!

[Gloria]

Beautifully somber. Very nice

I love Ingrid's idea of the disposable camera..@ingrid2101

[John Falconer]

This is a great and different shot of a normally humdrum shot well done

[Fanny Brogden]

@ingrid2101 wow do they still make those? Used to be great for weddings....lovely processing Sean.in fact everything about it is cool!!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the moody atmosphere. Cool edit.

[Ingrid Budge]

@fannyb I bought a whole pile in boots and reduced waterproof ones for the bargain price of £1:50!!

[Pat Knowles]

Well it doesn't matter Sean for the moment as you still have plenty to show us. I lost my mojo too at one point & I think it comes to us all at times so don't worry. Perhaps the spring & Summer will inspire you again. Interesting lines & shadows.

[Phil]

Pick up your camera Sean!! Must say, though, isn't it great to know you can post the shots that missed out on their day! year 2 is fab for that.
This is brilliant - very atmospheric!

[Sean O'Neill]

@filsie65 Wednesday Phil. Meeting a pal for lunch in the Peak District. Will see what I can find landscape wise!

[Phil]

@seanoneill I'll look forward to it... and will keep my fingers crossed that it stays fine :)

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Yes, pick it up Sean, I miss your landscapes!! Love this though, reminds me of that MRJames stray, O whistle and I'll come to you . . . ,

[ScottWright]

@seanoneill awesome silouette...

[emily tull]

very cool

[Hubregt Visser]

Cool abstract; beautiful tones.

[Al Bailey]

Like this one ... quite dark :)

[Rachel Withey]

Love the angle

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

It'll be back!!!!! Your work is super and am enjoying the edits you are doing very much!

[missk]

Great shot!!

[Kathy A]

Not a fan of black and white but I really like this. Like the angle and the lines.

[AutomaticSlim]

I'm nearly three weeks behind with your project Sean, sorry my friend. This one's a little cracker in my opinion, and a fav. Ingrid has a good point about that disposable camera ...

[Sean O'Neill]

@automaticslim Thanks Andy, no problem, I've been playing catch up this last week after a few weeks without having time to comment. I've been shooting on B+W since this shot, and very happy with life again, though Efex Pro is a huge part of it as well. I may well buy a disposable though.

[AutomaticSlim]

Glad you've got your phojo back Sean, not sure where mine's got to just recently. I've really enjoyed going through this album (two more to go ...) and it seems that Silver Efex is working out well for you. Wish that Nik would do a Linux build, it would save me a lot of time.
