Interactive Public Art Sculpture
Brisbane, Australia
JEM is a radiant interactive light installation that unites people through shared experience. A futuristic, organic folly; a place of respite that is both relaxing and awe-inspiring. JEM features thirty-two spokes brimming with light that individually respond to people's movement via powerful sensors.
JEM was commissioned and designed as a central attraction for Flowstate, a 3000 square metre renewal project at South Bank in Brisbane.
Zoomy fun at Flowstate, in Brisbane's South Bank Parklands. Zoom pulled from 18 to 55mm during the second half of the exposure. f/8, 2secs, ISO200. Post processed from RAW exposure in Adobe Lightroom 6.
An in-camera double exposure of the colour changing Flowstate pergola in Brisbane's Southbank. Two exposures at different focal lengths (18 and 30mm), both 1/3sec, f/8, ISO100. Merged using the in-camera Image Overlay function. Post processed from the resulting single RAW file in Lightroom 6.
As I couldn't decide on my favourite Flowstate image for an in-camera double exposure, I've uploaded a second creation. Image 1 photographed looking up at Flowstate in Brisbane's South Bank. f/5, 1/30sec, ISO200. Image 2 photographed three nights later in Banks Street Reserve, Brisbane. f/5.6, 1.6sec, ISO400. Images merged in-camera using Nikon Image Overlay functionality. Post processed from resulting single RAW file in Lightroom.

Don't be blue!
I just paid a tenner to watch the Derby and it didn't end well.
Grabbed a quick water shot before kick off and even though we lost I had some quality time with Riley sat on the couch.
1 x Yongnuo 560iv 1/128th @24mm fired at a piece of card taped to the tap in the bathroom. Minolta 50mm F1.7 seated on the macro rings.
This is number 7 of my 366 for 2020.
Photo incorporating the trifecta of reflections, bokeh, and a photobombing mozzie (comment if you can spot it). Photographed at the colour changing Flowstate in Brisbane's South Bank, using a vintage Mir 1-B lens, with revere globular modification. Handheld, f/2.8, 1/30sec, ISO400. Post processed from RAW exposure in Adobe Lightroom 6.
I had an hour or so spare in Brisbane's South Bank last Saturday night during heavy rain, so had a go at obtaining some reflection photos, whilst attempting to keep my non-weather sealed camera dry. The colour changing Flowstate pergola was photographed from adjacent undercover pavilion. Note the well rendered starburst from the Nikon AF-P 18-55mm VR lens despite the fairly wide aperture - this is a very impressive kit lens! f/5.6, 1/6sec, ISO100. Post processed from RAW exposure in Adobe Lightroom 6.

a small detail of a very colourful installation at 'Flowstate', South Bank.
by Craig Walsh & Hiromi Tanga.
Hiromi Tango is a Japanese-Australian artist whose work spans sculpture, photography, installation and performance.
Over recent years, Hiromi's practice has become increasingly focused on exploring neuroscientific concepts through arts engagement, posing questions around neuroplasticity, empathy and epigenetics in her quest to effect healing and well-being through arts. Often using metaphors from nature to represent brain processes, her works develop through a combination of research, reflection and ritual.
It is interesting to walk around this, sounds are activated when you walk near an area and lights as well. Very different!
Flowstate in Brisbane's South Bank, photographed with a vintage Mir 1-B lens, with reverse globular lens modification (reversed front element). I think the result looks a bit like a Jellyfish. Photo taken whilst trying (not very well) to keep dry from the rain in the adjacent pavilion. f/2.8, 1/30sec, ISO400. Post processed from RAW exposure in Adobe Lightroom 6.
Further experiments in teleportation! First zoom-pull image taken at Flowstate in Brisbane's South Bank. f/10, 2secs, ISO100. Second image taken at a secluded suburban location two weeks later, with Ebony Curnette modelling, backlit with a BLF/Thorfire Q8. f/4.5, 0.6sec, ISO400. Images overlayed in-camera. Resulting RAW image post processed in Adobe Lightroom 6.
As the children from Nursery 1 Spaceships class sat around the long piece of lining paper in the Atelier, the inks began to flow, and so did the mind....

Clichéd photo of Brisbane Southbank's Flowstate, with a vintage lens twist. Photographed using a Mir 1-B (f/2.8 37mm) lens with reverse globular lens modification. f/2.8, 1/25, ISO400. Minimal post processing from RAW file in Lightroom 6.
I've had this concept idea of using Flowstate as a cage for an in-camera double exposure for while, and it has finally come to fruition. First image taken of Flowstate in Brisbane's South Bank. f/8, 1/1.6sec, ISO200. Second image taken at a suburban location two weeks later, with Ebony Curnette modelling, illuminated with a Yongnuo YN360. f/3.8, 1/10th sec, ISO400. Images overlayed in-camera. Resulting RAW image post processed in Adobe Lightroom 6.
With the constantly changing patterns of Flowstate, I couldn't resist creating a second "caged" image. First image taken of Flowstate in Brisbane's South Bank. f/8, 1/1.6sec, ISO200. Second image taken at a secluded suburban location two weeks later, with Ebony Curnette modelling, illuminated with a Yongnuo YN360. f/3.8, 1/10th sec, ISO400. Images overlayed in-camera. Resulting RAW image post processed in Adobe Lightroom 6.

Nod to Mother Nature for the gift of the natural framing of light on the river made possible by the gap in the trees on the other side. Each Canada Goose floated through that natural frame. (Backdrop audio is the sound of kids & families playing and a TRAIN sounding the horn)

Gone are the days of shakey video and expensive gimbals. Insta360 Flowstate technology will keep the horizon straight and smooth out the bumps, giving the video that sweeping, professional, polished look, even under harsh conditions. In this video I mounted the camera to an inexpensive selfie stick, tied to the frame of a bicycle.

Insta360 was as Cine Gear 2019, showing off their new Titan camera – a $15,000 VR camera that can shoot up to 11K. I took this opportunity to also really look at the Insta360 One X.
About the Insta360
This is a consumer camera that can do up to 5.7K video in 360 video format. In fact, we recorded the video using this, along with my DJI Osmo Pocket for 2D video.
The One X Action camera also captures 18 MP photos. You can capture both video and photos on the device (with MicroSD card) or connect to the Insta360 app so you can record right to your phone via WiFi or cable (cable will be faster)
The app also allows for previews and adjustments to the camera. The App also can make edits and adjustments. It can give you a world view, or trim down the video for Facebook, Instagram, and more.
FlowState Stabilization keeps the video as stable as possible. Even if you turn the camera, you’ll see slight stitch lines, but the camera is keeping from majorly shaking.
When you look at the video, you’ll notice none of the camera, and most of your tripod or selfie stick will not be in the video.
Insta360 One X is $399 and available here. For more information, check out the Insta360 page.
Insta360 Titan with Farsight
If you’re looking for better quality, and have $15,000 laying around, the Titan is the 360 camera to go. It contains 8 cameras, using micro-4:3 lenses, and will stitch up to 11K photos or video (10K in 3D).
The camera also records 4 mono signals from 90 degrees to cover the whole camera.
You can connect with the app, and it will record your shots on 9 full-sized SD cards.
The camera also comes with Farsight – a ground-to-ground technology that allows you to control the camera from up to 1/3 of a mile away. This way, you won’t be in the shot, wires won’t be in the shot, but your content will be in the shot.
Titan can do H264 and H265 in camera, and Pro RES 422 in post stitching. it will even live stream using RTSP, RTMP, HIS, or RTMPS. The camera sends wireless, and wired signals if needed.
The $15,000 camera is available, and you can get it at B&H Video. You can also check out more info from the Insta360 Titan page.

Product shot of waders for my Rod & Fly product shoot.
I originally used the bottom half a mannequin for this shot, but the only one I could find had an overly feminine kink to the knee, so I gave up on that and got my wife to pose in them, merging the torso from the mannequin shot with the legs from my model shot. A few colour curves and painting to merge the components convincingly.
My wife didn't seem to mind the insinuation that the mannequin was more feminine than her.
Strobist - shot on white seamless - actually many white sources cobbled together as I didn't have seamless paper on hand. A single raw strobe shielded from the model and camera blew out the background; Single strobe in a shoot-through umbrella high left as key. The hard highlights that look like a raw strobe rear right are reflection from the seamless.
A little post work to remove wires and stuff and merge the layers. I decided to leave shadows around the feet.

In contrast to yesterday's image (www.flickr.com/photos/flowstate/16723695788/), this one is in the same spot, but with strobes firing, and an ND on the lens.
Strobist info: A single bare speedlight at eye level, camera height. Nice and easy. With more time to finesse things, I'd have flagged it off the ground. Leaving the ground lit does give some context for the jump's landing, though.
Sven and Jasmine, wedding portrait in the rain.
The back story is that Sven and Jasmine had just gotten married in the bush, several kilometers from the Mt Buller Ski resort. Most of us, bride and groom included, mountain biked back to the resort for dinner and the reception. I'd arranged to photograph Sven and Jasmine near the summit of Mount Buller half an hour before dinner. There was a storm on the way, as well as falling sunlight which would have made for some amazing pictures.
Jasmine was ready, but Sven was too busy fussing over ironing his underpants, and we didn't get away as planned. In fact the storm beat us, and it was raining as we prepared to leave their hotel. I started planning contingencies, but the newly weds were keen to carry on with plan A anyway. So I grabbed a few guests as assistants and we made a dash for the summit.
Everyone was laughing and having a great time in the storm, but it was raining hard and getting cold fast. My new assistants were supposed to hold a sheet over the bride and groom between shots, but as you can see in the next frame, they were more keen on using it for themselves (www.flickr.com/photos/flowstate/6780462641/in/set-7215762...).
My wife held a strobe with 1/4 CTO gel in a shoot through umbrella high camera right.
I would have liked the sheet-holders to hold it closer to give some fill from camera left, and I would have liked a longer shutter time for more ambient, but I didn't get either of these things. I only risked 4 frames and 20 seconds out in the storm (no time even for metering. all settings were guessed in the car on the way up) - it wouldn't do to return the bride and groom saturated, or lightning struck for their own reception.
Not only are apples and cherries a big part of summer life in our valley, so are the transient European backpackers who migrate here every summer to pick and pack this fruit. This shot is to celebrate both of them. I was a little torn between this image and www.flickr.com/photos/flowstate/6000658882/in/photostream
No, I didn't press the shutter with my teeth. These hands belong to my trusty model/picker.
Submitted late for the assignment proper, I still wanted to throw my non-eligible hat in the ring.
Strobist: Small softbox high camera left.
Shot (unfortunately) in high sun, the strobe had to be powered up, and the camera maxed at 1/250sec. f7.1 gave the desired fill/sky exposure.
Yesterday's "Air out of berm" shot was very clinical, businesslike. This guy, by contrast is clearly out to impress the ladies at the potential sacrifice of a podium.
Strobist info - the same lighting rig as yesterday's shot (www.flickr.com/photos/flowstate/16432175157/)- hard strobes directly to either side and hard sun top right
Tris riding his latest handmade bike frame, carrying my latest hand made surfboard. Juxtoposition of crafts!
Strobist - (BTS frame here: www.flickr.com/photos/flowstate/6285536526/in/photostream)
Ambient exposure for the background. I wanted a bit less light so I could drag the shutter and get a panning blur on the background, but the daylight was too bright. There's just enough non-sharpness to get the effect.
Key lighting is from two strobes - both at surfboard height, just out of frame left and right, and on the camera side of the white lane mark. The one on the left is raw, giving the specular highlight on the tail of the board. I don't mind the shadow of Tris' arm on the board, but there's an unfortunate one on his neck I didn't have the time to wrangle. The right hand strobe had a small softbox and is lighting Tris' face and filling shadow on the front (camera right) side of his limbs.
There's also a raw strobe RHS on the ground, lighting his face and highlight on the nose edge of board.
I originally had another strobe on Tris' handlebares to backlight the board, but it didn't work out.

(Present to myself for being a Royal Mail Xmas Casual over Xmas!)
This Surf board is made from an old (approx 150 years) Deodar Cedar (Cedrus deodara, a cedar native to the Western Himalayas) that once grew at the RTBG and from Tasmanian Huon Pine. The Board was crafted by Flow State Bespoke Surfboards - surfboards.flowstate.com.au/
The board was donated to the Gardens and will be raffled in Dec. 2011.
