Since Octobre 2022 I participate in a group of about 20 people, to make photo’s a year round. Every two weeks we get a new assignment from the teacher. After 4-5 assignments he gives comments on our work with a video (still to come). In between we give comments at eacht other. We all have our own maps to put photo’s in and one map to put in 1 photo for the theme.
This is the B&W I made for the assignment: Black. I underexposed it (-2) and It took 30s.
Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!

The roof terrace of Pema 2. Nice overview on the entire train station area, Pema 1 and even the lights of Seegrube and Hafelekar in the far.
Another one of these "Bokeh, abstractions" Playing with a mixture of the white balance in conjunction with layers on photoshop, as well as the amount of out of focus the lens was.
Taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark 2.
Anche tu sei l’amore.
Sei di sangue e di terra
come gli altri. Cammini
come chi non si stacca
dalla porta di casa.
Guardi come chi attende
e non vede. Sei terra
che dolora e che tace.
Hai sussulti e stanchezze,
hai parole – cammini
in attesa. L’amore
è il tuo sangue – non altro.
Cesare Pavese
Boats belonging to Dells Boat Tours await another undoubtedly busy day of showing tourists the highlights of the Wisconsin River. High above the river Canadian Pacific SD70ACU No. 7013 thunders overhead into Wisconsin Dells, WI with trains 2-286’s solid string of autoracks in tow.

I seem to be drawn to photographing the old hydrangea blooms this winter while we wait around for the flowers. Processed using Nik Analog Efex Pro 2. The sepia leaking in is purposeful.
Another session of water drop shots, this time experimenting with 3 drops, which I found to be very tricky. Getting the timing just right so that the third drop hits short enough after the second AND before the whole thing collapses is, well...yeah, I think you get the idea. By using my phone to record in 240 fps I managed to get a rough idea of the timing but still, the tolerances are miniscule, so getting it right is not easy. I managed to get a few shots where you can actually see the third drop creating an effect, but not exactly what I was aiming/hoping for. Drop size, timing between them and the delay before the camera fires are all factor that influence the result and I still haven't quite understood the relationship between them. I use the Mirror Up function in the camera to avoid having to deal with shutter lag as well.
I used milk for opacity control and I went crazy and added many different food colours to the mix as well as yellow colour in the drop. No thickening yet; I still don't have the strength for that!
I used 2 Godox speedlights off-camera on 1/32 power. One had a red gel mounted and illuminated the background and another, with a softbox mounted, illuminated the drop. The background was simply semi-transparent plastic binders in front of a white background. ISO 100, 1/200 or 1/250 shutter speed and varying f-stops.
Focus was achieved by standing a pen attached to a bunch of Blu Tac in the bowl so it was completely stable. With the camera switched off I fired the MIOPS Splash to see where the drop landed and then positioned the pen accordingly, with the drop landing slightly off-center towards the side facing the camera. Then I focused on the pen using autofocus to get perfect focus. I use back button focus so the camera doesn't try to focus with each shot :)
"Disclaimer": I totally forgot to clean the filter (good thing that was on so it didn't get to the lens) and background regularly so there might be some slight spots here and there. Sorry about that! :D
Again, please get in contact with me if you have any advise and/or experience you'd like to share. I am aiming for shots with 3 drops, crisp sharpness overall and even a soap bubble bursting. Maybe even the liquid going through the top of that from the bowl below. Perhaps in a year or so? Heh!
In the next drop-session I might use some opaque liquid in the bowl below and hopefully get a "plastic'y"/CGI look. I might also vary the camera angle and lighting to get some reflections and/or shadows as well BUT! Next photo shoot will NOT be drop related. ---> Need. To. Do. Something. Else. Next! <---
