hello? is anybody out there??

Hi! my name is northy and i like the dark and gloomy ;p

another one for my conceptual portrait push challenge set by @kiwinanna... and for the hello theme... 'cos how could i resist?

also for the lensbaby thing... i've decided that focus is just going to have to be irrelevant!

[☠northy]

@kiwinanna - voila :D thank you for the challenge... i've had fun with it!

[Graeme Stevens]

excellent, slightly creepy

Great use of LB to give real depth and mystery to the image Fav!

[Taffy]

Can't even imagine how you could use a LB for a selfie, so very impressed with this.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Fav.

[Rachel]

I love this.

[Jerome]

Love it.

[David]

Maybe there is an approximation to detail in the hair? Maybe its just relative to the rest. No matter... if you can get fabulous results like this, who cares? Fav

[Call me Joe]

Ha- the queen of darkness’s using a lantern ?😜
Favtastic As always !

[Shanne]

adds to the mystery the lensbaby focus ambiguity

[summerfield]

@joemuli - my thoughts exactly!

[diane day]

fabulous shot... especially like the lantern

[Francoise]

wonderful dark shape behind the lantern. Sort of mind-boggling how one balances the lights in this, but you did.

[haskar]

Great shot. I like your focus anddark shape.

@taffy tx Taffy... the LB lens i have is in the composer series, so you can set the (ahem) focus manually and it will stay there; it's not like the lens where you have to squeeze it and hold it in place! :)

[Babs]

Love it. Very spooky. fav.

[Helen Jane]

wonderful

[Jane Pittenger]

Spooky for sure

[Taffy]

@northy Oh, that makes a huge difference. I admit I really don't like mine, which is the squeeze type. Such a pain to use. I like the effects you are getting with yours, so buyers remorse for the one I bought.

[Rebecca]

@northy nice motion blur

[Andreas]

Excellent spooky photo

[Lisa Pouncy]

Supercool xx

[Delwyn Barnett]
