The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth"
Ah, the time of year, when final grades are due and students politic for a couple of extra points that would move them from one letter grade to the next and teachers grapple with what that might truly mean for the student. A math teacher friend who lives in a more 'black/white' world points to the calculations, but my world tends to be more gray. Using rubrics and being very transparent about the evaluation system and formative feedback from the beginning appears to do little for those who are more interested in a grade than in learning. The dilemma is compounded when the students are prospective teachers, but in the end, the sharp thorns balance [to the best of my ability] with the beauty in the eye of nature. Naples, FL

Taking pictures of a small light bulb, I noticed the free end of the filament vibrating rapidly.It was a complete blur, and added to the shot...
Two purple-gelled flashes (580EX (thanks, Alan!) and 580EXII) @ 1/16 to left and right with baffles to keep the background dark, triggered via ST-E2.
The significant change compared to previous efforts was dumping the softbox and using the flash direct, which allows winding back the flash power a bit.
From red to mixed red/black to black. A significant amount of old filament remains present in the hot end after removing the supply.

In the obvious next step from the straight lines of Pick-a-Stick, curves are plotted between the successive points in the strange attractor. The artist is of the opinion that the results are among the most beautiful available on pixelbrain so far, and has so far amassed several engrossed hours watching them emerge out of the darkness. (These, more than any so far, are worth launching the applets for...)
Created using Processing.
