a new piece of felt...yipee....
I hope to put another piece up later, need to visit the framemakers.
as always remember my blog
Did you ever do a family tree? A while back I did one and realized soon that a 3D representation is the way to go!
I'm a bit confused on this one... Either a Monarch or a Viceroy
Another part of the Bronx Zoo that I was very fond of is the Butterfly Garden. Butterflies are colorful and delicate, they are very nice to photograph. Outside captivity, they are hard to catch, let alone find one with very nice colo
I found out that it wasn't as easy as it seems to capture these beauties. You have to find the right angle to make sure everything, the wings in particular, remain in focus. Even at f/8, 200mm, the depth of field was so narrow, you need to stay parallel to their wings.
This was indoors with, again, very limited light. Handheld, VR on, 200mm at f/5. I would have opted for f/8 but settled on f/5 because of the slow shutter speed even at ISO 800! I didn't want to bump ISO to 1600 or else I would lose the intricate details on the wings.
What would have saved me is if I had a flash with me. Unfortuately, in my quest to lighten up my load, I left an important tool that I should always have with me.. my SB-600 flash! There were couple of times where it would have been beneficial.
I surely learned a lot from this trip. I had a long list of difficulties but overall, it turned out fine. If I can get about 10 good shots out of a thousand, that is very fine with me.
My philosophy is, pick the best, then throw out the rest. I know digital made it easy for us to take millions of pictures but what counts are the very few worth keeping. Let's keep quality alive people, and strive for the best!
On the weekend I spent time making a frame for a print I've received from Jon Contino last year.
The problem was I had a given length of wood to make it from and needed to know how to optimise the size.
Enter a SUW - Frame Maker.
There's still a fair bit todo:
* Size information
* Image upload w/ drag + drop
* metric/imperial conversion
* Coffeescript (partial)
* Prettify (partial)
* History / Auto load
* Colour picker for frame/matt
* Optional increase of number of matts
* Non-uniform matting
* Internet Explorer Support

ID please? I thought it was an Eastern Phoebe but the color may be wrong.
Another project for Photo & Design class. I had to set up a shot for a specific food and then edit it into a Magazine Layout using Adobe Framemaker.

First round was for Kath - but I commissioned a local framemaker to make them. This time, I'm DIY!
Oh, and I've got some stunning Huon Pine to work with in 2013 too :)

Taken a few days ago.
I find flowers easy... shooting birds is the real challenge. It can be frustrating if you don't have any patience and the right equipment.
Yawn! I'm going back to bed.

A youth collective from Dublin were invited to attend Framemakers and produce a zine while there about the event. Organiser Steve Valk (slightly older) to the left.
You arrive to Galway after a cross country drive and try as hard as you can to avoid the crowds. On a side street, right next to The Framemaker you find a restaurant called Kettle of Fish but the yellow blue combination captures your eyes and your camera.
This is the frame after being primed with 6 or 8 coats of gesso, then sanded and scraped with cabinet scrapers. "Gesso" is the Italian word for plaster, but usually refers to the ground or primer material used by painters or framemakers. My gesso is a homemade concoction of rabbit skin glue, finely powdered chalk (called "french rouge whiting") and a few secret ingredients (I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you).
Could he be the famous Lincoln Karim, the Pale Male advocate? I felt bad not taking his photo but I am very sure he's the one on this photo!
Here is a Google search about him.
Thank you Danitello for making me aware of Pale Male.
Scubapup, I think I'll see you every weekends in Central Park from now on! lol!

There had been a few weeks of rain in Vancouver when the sun finally came out and we headed for Granville Island for a bit of lunch.
All my currently installed tools from the Adobe Master Collection CS4 Students & Educational Edition + Adobe FrameMaker 9 Trial :P - Very handy tools and I got them for a fair price!
Good morning, everyone!
We had a great time in DC even though the heat was exhausting. I was able to test some equipment which I will review in my journal in the next few days. I took some videos but I'm really a still camera person so I was only able to take about 40mins worth of video ( I had no idea what to take!). I told Tina she will handle the D50 but we ended up switching gears from time to time because I couldn't resist taking shots for myself (and she was better at taking videos). I wish we had another camera body with us.
I didn't take the 70-200mm vr 2.8 with us and used my old Tamron 70-300. Boy, I sure miss VR! I didn't notice how useful it was until that day.
Have a good day, folks!

This is the finished frame.
After the Sienna wash dried and was sealed, I gave the frame another wash of Van Dyke Brown and another coat of shellac. Multiple washes give the frame character and complexity.
After the final sealer coat is dry, I give the frame a coat of paste wax. Wax tones down the high shine of shellac to a soft glow. It also lays more thickly in recesses.
Lastly, I dust the frame with a mixture of "rottenstone" (fine pulverized limestone) and pummice. This clings to the wax, and adds a cool, flat contrast to the warmer, richer toner coats. It also saves the frame from looking too fresh, like brand new sneakers. Nobody wants that.
