I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over. HAL: Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. It´s time to pull the plug on your computer and take control as a natural human being again.Ģ001: A Space Odyssey: Deactivating HAL 9000 (1968)

No cropping, no post-processing, film has not been pushed or pulled. The glowing effect was therefore obtained because of the long exposure time of each frame, so that the backlight seemed to penetrate into the sculpture.' (.) The ten seconds of the shot were actually made with eight hours of exposure: to achieve the effect of large depth of field and sharpness of the image the scene was filmed in stop-motion, three frames per second. From this mould the final fiberglass model was built. In September 1967 it was up to Liz Moore to create a clay sculpture, about 2,5 feet tall, with facial features intentionally similar to Keir Dullea (the actor who played Dave Bowman).

Inspired by the pioneering intra-uterine photographs by Lennart Nilsson, that for the first time showed the development of a uterus in the womb in a landmark series of articles that appeared in LIFE magazine in 1965, Kubrick decided to make a sculpture resembling a fetus. (.) a first test version of the scene was carried out with a real baby shot against a black velvet background. '(.) The original prop, which was thought lost, has resurfaced after Kubrick's death in the production materials that the director kept in his humongous archives, and is now part of the traveling exhibition of Stanley Kubrick Archives. Original 'Starchild' prop by Liz Moore '2001: A Space Odyssey' (1968) Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne November-Woche! Ich hoffe, Ihr könnt ihm auch etwas abgewinnen ) Ich hatte erst überlegt, ein Zwei-Foto-Fokus-Stacking zu machen, damit auch der Fadenzähler im Fokus sein würde, dachte dann aber 'Wenn schon seltsam, dann richtig – ein Foto muss reichen.' Und irgendwie mag ich das komische Fadenzähler- und Blütenspitzen-Bokeh. Und von allen (un)geeigneten Dingen habe ich dann einfach eine verwelkte Herbstasternblüte hinter das kleine Vergrößerungsglas des Fadenzählers gestellt. Irgendwann fiel mein Blick bei der Suche nach etwas Interessantem auf den alten, zusammenklappbaren Messing-Fadenzähler meiner Mutter. Tja, mir wollte zu diesem Thema einfach nichts einfallen ich habe dies und das fotografiert und fand mal wieder nichts davon brauchbar. Vermutlich nicht ) Ihr fragt Euch wahrscheinlich, was Ihr hier seht. Ich weiß nicht, ob das hier irgendeinen Sinn ergibt. I didn't do much processing here, just the necessary RAW development in DXO, and then added a slightly matte look in Analog Efex.

I hope you like it, too, although I could understand if you didn't )

But then I thought 'One shot has to do.' Plus I kind of like the strange-looking thread counter and petal bokeh. I considered doing a two image focus stacking, one image with focus on the tiny tubular flowers at the centre of the blossom, and one with the thread counter in focus. Why, when a thread would have been the obvious choice? I really don't know. And of all possible and (un)likely things I put a withered aster blossom behind it. Then I stumbled upon my Mom's old collapsible linen tester / thread counter. HAL turned into a flower power hippie? I really wasn't sure what to do for the theme, tried various things, didn't like any – you know the story. Does this make any sense at all? I guess not ) You might wonder what you're looking at.
