27. Ink - December 15-21, 2013

“There is something magical in seeing what you can do, what texture and tone and colour you can produce merely with a pen point and a bottle of ink.”
Ida Rentoul Outhwaite
Ink is a liquid or paste that contains pigments or dyes and is used to color a surface to produce an image, text, or design. Some people purchase their ink. Others prefer to make their own to meet singular needs and artistic tastes.
The usual suspects: Olympus E500; 35mm; 1/25 sec. at f3.5; bracketed; ISO 250; no flash; tripod used.

Following in the footsteps of Henri Cartier-Bresson, I captured the decisive moment. The moment when Erleen saw that she spilled a bottle of ink on the document she was writing by hand. My advise is use a pencil or a computer.

Okay, when Paul picked the theme INK for this week's WPOTM it seemed to me that people might shoot an image of ink to paper, or perhaps something with an ink-jet printer, or an old printing press, or even a rubber stamp. I figured that no one would go in the tattoo direction. Then I saw Deron’s image this morning, just an hour before I had a tattooed model booked to arrive, and I knew that I had been beaten to the punch. Oh well.
This image was captured with a couple of portable Nikon electronic flash units. My 70-200mm Nikkor was zoomed to 110mm. The exposure was 1/250th of a second at f/8. ISO 200.

G'day. This is Maddog Morgan, one of me best mates and a fair dinkum footballer for the Riverside Rangers Australian Football Club. As you can see, Maddog has a good bit of 'ink' tattooed on him. Looking at his 'Aussie Arm' (by the way, Aussie is always pronounced like Auzzie), he is sporting the Southern Cross, which you can find on the Australian flag. Also, you will see on his triceps, the logo of his hometown 'footy' team, the St. Kilda Saints. The Sainters have been playing since 1873. As a comparison, the Green Bay Packers have only been around since 1919...sissies. The green color on his biceps is the 'Australian Made' logo, which he is.
On a side note, the jumper/guernsey Doggy is wearing is a replica of what the team wore 140 years ago, except the real ones were made of wool and had buttons or a lace up collar.
