smoke & mirrors by graemestevens

smoke & mirrors

Well hey there.
I've tagged this for the Five Plus Two theme of "Hobbies" for two reasons. Firstly, when I can I like to take the opportunity to make as many of you as uncomfortable as possible. Secondly, this lark (by which I mean photography, rather than dressing in a trench coat, gas mask and rubber gloves...although...) is my hobby. It's my "me" time, my way of downloading, my release if you will...
So there. With big shiny knobs on.
brilliant lighting

Very clever getting that back lighting! its all smoke and mirrors!
February 20th, 2018  
One should have hobbies! Excellent mysterious feel.

I was seeing it as if looking up from underwater until I noticed the title. I like it that way, uncertainty in if the hand is being offered to rescue or to drown
February 20th, 2018  
Very awesome and creepy all at the same time. I like it!
February 20th, 2018  
Another sweet photo. I especially like the smoke and the lighting. Well done!

This photo floats my boat for some reason, I don't know why. Maybe because it kinda has a pink floyd-y feeling about it

The thumbnail made it look like a face looking to the right.
February 20th, 2018  
Well done. FAV

February 20th, 2018  
great light! i always imagine that if any of the family come across you in this kind of get-up, they just think 'ah, graeme/dad's home' and walk on by
February 20th, 2018  
Love this one
February 20th, 2018  
Cool - a good look for you

My hobbies are incredibly quiet and tame compared to you and yours, you have pleanty of "out there style",..
February 20th, 2018  
So the photography is a hobby and the rest ... is a compulsion? ;)
February 20th, 2018  
I really like this one. Just the right amount of intrigue and discomfort and a good amount of photographic skills. Er.... you didn't need all those excuses. We all understand.
February 20th, 2018  
@helenhall Thank you kindly...I really don't know why I felt the need to explain myself...
@humphreyhippo The rest of necessity...someone has to do it.
@joannakate Thank you very much :)
@joemuli Indeed, straight back at ya.
@suzanne234 Thank you very much, and how unfortunate ;)

February 21st, 2018

@vignouse There is that...but then, so many things are...
February 22nd, 2018  
So very cool, Graeme. Love the lighting.
I don't see the mirrors, though.
February 24th, 2018  
@bill_fe Thank you very much - all the mirrors are on my bedroom ceiling
February 24th, 2018  
@graemestevens Are they engraved with 'objects in mirror are larger than they appear'?
February 24th, 2018  
@bill_fe According to my wife, they should be.
February 24th, 2018  
So late to the party - this is (of COURSE) amazing. Love it.
