Well, I was out with The Bando yesterday...why these guys let me hang around with them, I'll never know!
We downed some java and then headed for the wintry wilds of nature and all the breathtaking glory it has to offer, with the sole purpose of capturing awesome images using our digital pixel-gatherers...every shot I took was crap! Crap I tell you!
Coincidentally... while we were out there...oh, never mind that!
To be somewhat fair to myself, I was experimenting with a newly acquired (read: given to me by one Monsieur JW Vraets) FOTGA Slim Fader Variable ND Filter Adjustable ND2 to ND400 77mm Neutral Density. None-the-less, everything was either over-exposed, blotchy, blurry, blotchy and blurry, or just plainly so bereft of detail or composition that, while reviewing them on the computer monitor, I could hear me ol' granpappy sarcastically cackling in my brain saying, "Hoo hoo! A cleptopyromaniacyakyak could have taken better shots than that that!"
"Ya, thanks gramps, " I muttered aloud despondently.
Just as I was about to close the file, I noticed one that was so over-exposed, Drew Barrymore would have been embarrassed! For kicks, I tonemapped it and the result was an image with this checkerboard pattern integrated into the elements. Now, most photographers would have uttered, "Shit! Another dud!" But, since I am not one of those and merely just own a camera, I blurted out, "Cool!"
Well, no sooner said...
Anyway, at the next Bando 'renkonti' (its French or something for 'meeting up and chatting about things' - a similar occurrence happened on Coruscant at the Jedi Temple), I will inquire just how such an abstraction befell my inglorious work of art (original photo) and maybe, if Matt pulls out a piece of paper and pen, while JW attempts to explain it in 'layman terms' (of course, Barry will just be oogling the girls meantime), I just might understand it!
