What would life be without our dreams...
.
Today I went to the shop where I bought my camera. There has been a lot of phone calls made and last week my camera was opened and end of last week they would know if it was repairable. So this morning I called several times, but the man in charge was not there. At last this afternoon he was in and I went over to personally talk - he phoned the repair man and wouldn't you know - next week he will be able to tell more - so next week and next week - there is no end to it.
.
This picture was lovely to dream-up;
Took some shallow and clear water from the Tysfjord and skewed and rotated it, until I could use it as a sea.
Then first thing I did of course was planted the tale vins of 2 spermwhales in the water as seen on the Andenes Hval Safari.
Mountains and interesting cloud formation from A.
Next on the left a little boathouse from Sund was pasted in and the reflection painted a bit.
Then the balcony from our Rorbu (fisherman's cabin) in A was placed bottem left, sothat the seagull had something to look at.
The plane-wing from the airplane that took us from Oslo to Bodo I placed low at the right, sothat the black mountains in the BG made it clearly visible.
A pole with stockfish where the sun just touched the vins was a bit desaturated but not totally.
Fish and starfish in the water were taken in the LofotAquarium in Kabelvag.
Yes, that would be it - a collage with a twist to suit my mood.
.
Have a nice day
Els

Congratulation

This is so cool. It reminds me of the artistic works of art that we had to study in english class to interpret meanings. Very interesting.
Thanks for sharing,
Leanne

Hi Els,

I see your mood is a bit black...this has got quite a dark atmosphere, even a bit creepy... I hope you get your camera back real soon, but understand your frustration so well!
I do love your idea and pp-work though, so very well done! It's very arty actually. Could be a painting. Love that bitt of colour used between the B&W. Good work and great imagination! Have a happy evening!!
Greetings from Bianca.

Very nice composition you made there!!!! Looks a little bit like a bad dream. It's very busy but it all fits together.
Knap gedaan

Hello Els,
What an amazing collage!!
The dried fish are the eye-catchers of course...
By the way, do you know why they also are called stockfish??
Hahaha, got you there...
Greetings,

Hallo Els
Je hebt er leuke montage van gemaakt maar fototechnisch gezien voor mij te veel van het goede.
Maar het is jouw droom.

Hi Els
Great PP work, absolute a great composition, well done.
Jens.

What a dark dream. Is the camera man hanging from the pole? And the gull waiting to pick his bones?

The image is well and seamlessly composed.

If you will publish the man's email address, we will all send him nasty messages. :-) Just kidding.

Well done,
Reid

hi Els,

You surprised me with this pic, I found his wonderful dream, everything here combines, each part, each object, each details and theses fish drying in the sun in colors it finishes work in great style. Surprised, but Happy!
Now as for picture machine it is an odyssey, this as here in Brazil, it goes and it comes and they don't do something about her, asks for other new one, here we try once, it was long a lot, he requests other new one in the consumer's protection that we have here.
like this you no more straight line this inconveniences.
great picture,
Congratulations

This is an almost Dali-esque collage! Superbly executed and a huge change from the standard fare

Hello Els.
You did it again.!
Excellent manipulation of some different pictures in one.
The 'Norske' VVV, would be graceful to have that picture in their folders.
Maybe Pablo can make the link ?
Heel fijne vakantie gewenst in Denemarken, say hello to Jens.
Groeten, Jan

very interesting combination of photos here els :)
original and creative
well done :)

koh

Héél zacht gezegd : héél origineel !! :-)
Daar heb je precies veel tijd in gestoken.
Die walvisvin had ik precies liever in het water gezien dan wel op de lijn.

Als dat een droom zou zijn, dan ga je toch moe wakker worden ! LOL

Groetjes

Jan

Hi Els,

What a painful experience you're currently having with your camera repairs!! Take it from me, I am suffering with you each and every time you talk about it!
Fortunately you still have enough pictures in your backup to keep on spoiling us! Nice composition you got here and a good note. Thanks!

Dennis

Good morning my friend

What a delightful image, so many things and so much work. A lovely well thought out compo. Love the tones too they work really well.

I am sorry to hear of your problems with the camera repairs.. just concentrate on the thought of the fun you will have when it is back and working again.

TFS regards Helen

Hi Els,
What a great idea...posting dreams!! If we were to show images of the dreams we have we would have so many fascinating and unreal images to show...like this one. You just handed my brain a new task!!
TFS
Have a great weekend.
PS: Concerning your camera...I thought those things only happened here...what nationality is the person in charge, BTW?

Hello Els,

You have drawn a beautiful idea in this composition. Assorted objects in mytical arrangement are nicely depicting a "dreamatic" atmosphere. Excellent image, well done.

Thanks for sharing this shot.

I do love your artwork in your collages Els and this is no exception. Nice mix of images and the partial colouring works well. TFS,
David
