SPILLAGES

Today I went to hospital to have the CT scan of my brain. It's not a particularly horrible experience, it's just I don't like the thought of something penetrating my head and looking inside my brain. I had one 3 years ago which was clear so knew what to expect but I still felt really anxious whilst waiting in the waiting room. I also don't like the thought of the radiation I've been exposed to especially as it's my second. My doctor thought it would be more than the recommended exposure for a three year period but my psychiatrist said that the benefits of having the scan out wayed the radiation risk. I'm still not too pleased though! I'm not sure when I'll get the results but no news over the next week or so will be good news. What with my EEG scan on Tuesday, my CT scan today and I've got to have a filling at the dentist followed by dental bridge work shortly after AND a consultation with a neurologist next week - I'm starting to feel like a real patient!

Anyway, today's PAD. This isn't really the image I was going for but after 50+ failures today I've given up. This is the best I could get. My non-existant lighting setup is starting to hinder my creativity. There's only so much you can get round proper lighting with Photoshop. I'm losing serious image quality to get the white's white(ish).Still it's an excellent excuse to learn PS and I've got plenty of that to do! I'm not giving up though, it's too much fun!

Geoff ... beautifully done and quite eye catching. And I'm pulling for you as you go through this "patient" phase. Best wishes.

Excellent!

The images are arresting in how the flow is captured. Very nice, regardless to what you were attempting to do. Very nice, indeed.

I think the arrested motion of the fluid comes through very well, and I like the pairing. Every pour would be different. And I'm sorry to hear about the radiation and everything. I really hope you pull through. It's a rough time, no doubt. At least you have a fun hobby to distract you!

These images work very well. Where is the problem?

Really cool, Geoff. The others are right. Rather like my house-hunting. I turned down 50 houses because my dream house just did not exist!

I like that drop just hanging there on the left side. Interesting images!
Guest 01-Apr-2004 16:44
Very cool... maybe not what you were after, but interesting none the less.
Guest 01-Apr-2004 16:39
Geoff,
These images are not sucessful only because you did not get what you were looking for. The colored fluids are captured very well and pairing these two images to relate the challenge involved also works.
Don't fret the radiation. I spent 5 years with a nuclear reactor and nuclear weapons. The only negative effect I can find are my two mutant children--both of whom have futures in the circus, so it all works out in the end.

Well done. Really cool image
Guest 01-Apr-2004 16:06
WOw this is crappy.. hahaha, you are tough, had I done this for a PAD, I'd be proud!
Guest 01-Apr-2004 16:05
This is really good. I like the idea. Regards.

You are to hard on yourself. Before reading your commentary and displeasure with your results I thought of how good this is. The shadows add appeal.

Maintain good thoughts.
