Mixed Media

Toomas Altnurme is a Mixed Media Designer with a very unique style. He uses some rather vibrant colors and interesting themes. Check out his work on http://www.art-altnurme.com/
Below is one of his, in my opinion, most interesting and wild compositions. It's called "The Female Buddha"

Randomness


I feel like sometimes I am invisible to certain people and I wanted to find a way to capture that feeling. I sat at a cool looking area and set the shutter speed to 6 seconds and put the self-timer on. For the first 3 seconds of the shot I sat still and then got up fast and ran out of the shot for the last 3 seconds.



This is a shot of the hand of my best friend Alexa when she came to visit. She has so many funky bracelets and rings that I thought it would be interesting to get a shot at just about sunset to catch a good highlight on the hand.



This picture was shot using a 13 second exposure in order to blur the water flow but keep me in focus.


The shot of water on the left was taken using a 20 second shutter speed and a cooler white balance.


I've always had a facination with old grave stones and grave yards in general. There's a very strange but unique atmosphere at places such as this one that make it all the more fun to shoot.


I thought it would be interesting to put myself in this place to recognize that we'll all be here, but hopefully no time soon!


I'm sure everyone has enjoyed the feeling of taking a break from the world. This picture was not taken to portray sadness, but to create the warm feeling of having some alone time to think.


Hearts are always fun.

I wanted to show a little bit of who I am and what I love to do besides art, and that's music.

I took this picture because I found that the rusting chains and the chipped-away wood with an altered white balance would create somewhat of a cold scene. For some reason each time I view the picture I get the feeling that this was taken at the scene of an old Civil War battle field. I hope you like it and tell me what you think!
