As the photographer in the family, I have been given the job of photographing items to be sold on the family business website www.thegeniescave.co.uk or on eBay under the name of the_genies_cave. There is quite a bit of variety (if you think about what might be found in a cave belonging to a genie!) and I quite enjoy doing it. This image was taken using a small light tent illuminated by a pair of halogen lamps of the type commonly found in bathroom or kitchen ceilings.

Using Halogen based non projector headlights, we painted all pieces black, including the high beam housing since it is no longer needed. The new projector does low and high beam function. RGB Angel Eyes are controlled via RF Remote, and DRL Strip is wiring into the parking lights.
I did something uncharacteristic for me: I took an afternoon nap. Jamie and I had a nice lunch, and when I got home the condo was sooooo quiet, the bedroom sooooo dark, and bed soooooo inviting. I set an alarm and took a 45 minute nap. Actually, it was two 22 minute naps with a call in the middle: perfect.
I'm a believer in a "key-drop nap." You literally put keys in your hand, and when you drop them you wake up. The important thing is that you will drop the keys when your body and mind have relaxed the optimal amount for a nap.
I've learned, as have researchers, that 25 minutes is just about the perfect nap length. Shorter than that, you don't become rested. More than that, and your mind slips between states, so that when you wake you are groggy. So the rule is, "less than 30 minutes or more than two hours." The times I've tested the key-drop nap, it has come out to about 25 minutes.
So I had an excellent nap.

430EX on-camera, but most light is from the IKEA Halogen Desk Lamp, which you can see in the sunglasses. This shot is unprocessed, so any sheenyness is natural.

Halogen! I love the pattern these bulbs cast on the ceiling. Should have given it a dust, but I'm a bit lazy:)
This was shot with a Carl Zeiss Jena MC Biometar 2.8/120 lens (made for a Pentacon six TL), fitted to a Nikon D70.
The girls' friend, Yvonne, spent the night a few weeks ago. What do girls do at a slumber party?? Among other things, they play dress-up... and then they have a photoshoot.
This series of shots was taken of Yvonne, using a halogen lamp, black background, cardboard gobo used as a barn door, and a foam-core reflector.

Wall light.
Sorry, folks, I am really running out of ideas! This could be my last for a while unles I get a second wind. Maybe 196/365 is not too bad...
Helfa Gelf is coming, work for exhibitions is in preparation, and I am doing an art fair on 2 August, so it is not as though I am being idle!
The spectra were obtained using both deuterium and halogen lamps (joined at 400nm). The red line spectrum is of the outer region of the petal that appears white in the UV image. The blue line spectrum is from the inner, dark region: this also shows the presence of some chlorophyll with the weak absorption near 680nm.
It is notable that the high UV reflectivity is restricted to the 290–400nm band
1. Heat water in spherical glass boiler over halogen hotplate. 2. Fix and tightly seal the filter and container to boiler. 3. When water has moved to the top under pressure, add coffee and stir. 4. remove the syphon assembly from the heat and allow the finished brew to be pulled slowly through the filter and back into the glass boiler. 5. Look lovingly, pour, savour the cleanest coffee in the world. Nom nom.

The 1966 styling is unchanged but Carousel slide projectors from Kodak are now available with a more efficient halogen reflector lamp. Dropping the heat output by 200 watts allows for a much quieter fan.
The numerical designations still reflect different feature levels. (If you ever have some reason to purchase a used Carousel projector, the 750H is a solid choice.)

DRUM SCANNERS vs CCD SCANNERS _ESSAY
-----
CastorScan's philosophy is completely oriented to provide the highest scan and postproduction
quality on the globe.
We work with artists, photographers, agencies, laboratories etc. who demand a state-of-the-art quality at reasonable prices.
Our workflow is fully manual and extremely meticulous in any stage.
We developed exclusive workflows and profilation systems to obtain unparallel results from our scanners not achievable through semi-automatic and usual workflows.
-----
CastorScan uses the best scanners in circulation, Dainippon Screen SG-8060P Mark II, the best and most advanced scanner ever made, Kodak-Creo IQSmart 3, a high-end flatbed scanner, and Imacon 848.
The image quality offered by our Dainippon Screen 8060 scanner is much higher than that achievable with the best flatbed scanners or filmscanners dedicated and superior to that of scanners so-called "virtual drum" (Imacon – Hasselblad,) and, of course, vastly superior to that amateur or prosumer obtained with scanners such as Epson V750 etc .
Dainippon Screen SG-8060P Mark II exceeds in quality any other scanner, including Aztek Premier and ICG 380 (in the results, not just in the technical specifications).
8060's main features: 12000 dpi, Hi-Q Xenon lamp, 25 apertures, 2 micron
Aztek Premier's main features: 8000 dpi, halogen lamp, 18 apertures, 3 micron
ICG 380's main features: 12000 dpi, halogen lamp, 9 apertures, 4 micron
Some of the features that make the quality of our drum scanners better than any other existing scan system include:
The scans performed on a drum scanner are famous for their detail, depth and realism.
Scans are much cleaner and show fewer imperfections than scans obtained from CCD scanners, and thus save many hours of cleaning and spotting in postproduction.
Image acquisition by the drum scanner is optically similar to using a microscopic lens that scans the image point by point with extreme precision and without deformation or distortion of any kind, while other scanners use enlarger lenses (such as the Rodenstock-Linos Magnagon 75mm f8 used in the Hasselblad-Imacon scanners) and have transmission systems with rubber bands: this involves mild but effective micro-strain and micro-geometric image distortions and quality is not uniform between the center and edges.
Drum scanners are exempt from problems of flatness of the originals, since the same are mounted on a perfectly balanced transparent acrylic drum; on the contrary, the dedicated film scanners that scan slides or negatives in their plastic frames are subject to quite significant inaccuracies, as well as the Imacon-Hasselblad scanners, which have their own rubber and plastic holders: they do not guarantee the perfect flatness of the original and therefore a uniform definition between center and edge, especially with medium and large size originals, which instead are guaranteed by drum scanners.
Again, drum scanners allow scanning at high resolution over the entire surface of the cylinder, while for example the Hasselblad Imacon scans are limited to 3200 dpi in 120 format and 2000 dpi in 4x5" format (the resolution of nearly every CCD scanner in the market drops as the size of the original scanned is increased).
Drum scanners allow complete scanning of the whole negative, including the black-orange mask, perforations etc, while using many other scanners a certain percentage of the image is lost because it is covered by frames or holders.
Drum scanners use photomultiplier tubes to record the light signal, which are much more sensitive than CCDs and can record many more nuances and variations in contrast with a lower digital noise.
If you look at a monitor at 100% the detail in shadows and darker areas of a scan made with a CCD scanner, you will notice that the details are not recorded in a clear and clean way, and the colors are more opaque and less differentiated. Additionally the overall tones are much less rich and differentiated.
We would like to say a few words about an unscrupulous and deceitful use of technical specifications reported by many manufacturers of consumer and prosumer scanners; very often we read of scanners that promise cheap or relatively cheap “drum scanner” resolutions, 16 bits of color depth, extremely high DMAX: we would like to say that these “nominal” resolutions do not correspond to an actual optical resolution, so that even in low-resolution scanning you can see an enormous gap between drum scanners and these scanners in terms of detail, as well as in terms of DMAX, color range, realism, “quality” of grain. So very often when using these consumer-prosumer scanners at high resolutions, it is normal to get a disproportionate increase of file size in MB but not an increase of detail and quality.
To give a concrete example: a drum scan of a 24x36mm color negative film at 3500 dpi is much more defined than a scan made with mostly CCD scanner at 8000 dpi and a drum scan at 2500 dpi is dramatically clearer than a scan at 2500 dpi provided by a CCD scanner. So be aware and careful with incorrect advertisement.
Scans can be performed either dry or liquid-mounted. The wet mounting further improves cleanliness (helps to hide dirt, scratches and blemishes) and plasticity of the image without compromising the original, and in addition by mounting with liquid the film grain is greatly reduced and it looks much softer and more pleasant than the usual "harsh" grain resulting from dry scans.
We use Kami SMF 2001 liquid to mount the transparencies and Kami RC 2001 for cleaning the same. Kami SMF 2001 evaporates without leaving traces, unlike the traditional oil scans, ensuring maximum protection for your film. Out of ignorance some people prefer to avoid liquid scanning because they fear that their films will be dirty or damaged: this argument may be plausible only in reference to scans made using mineral oils, which have nothing to do with the specific professional products we use.
We strongly reiterate that your original is in no way compromised by our scanning liquid and will return as you have shipped it, if not cleaner.
With respect to scanning from slides:
Our scanners are carefully calibrated with the finest IT8 calibration targets in circulation and with special customized targets in order to ensure that each scan faithfully reproduces the original color richness even in the most subtle nuances, opening and maintaining detail in shadows and highlights. These color profiles allow our scanners to realize their full potential, so we guarantee our customers that even from a chromatic point of view our scans are noticeably better than similar scans made by mostly other scan services in the market.
In addition, we remind you that our 8060 drum scanner is able to read the deepest shadows of slides without digital noise and with much more detail than CCD scanners; also, the color range and color realism are far better.
With respect to scanning from color and bw negatives: we want to emphasize the superiority of our drum scans not only in scanning slides, but also in color and bw negative scanning (because of the orange mask and of very low contrast is extremely difficult for any ccd scanner to read the very slight tonal and contrast nuances in the color negative, while a perfectly profiled 8060 drum scanner – also through the analog gain/white calibration - can give back much more realistic images and true colors, sharper and more three-dimensional).
In spite of what many claim, a meticulous color profiling is essential not only for scanning slides, but also, and even more, for color negatives. Without it the scan of a color negative will produce chromatic errors rather significant, thus affecting the tonal balance and then the naturalness-pleasantness of the images.
More unique than rare, we do not use standardized profiles provided by the software to invert each specific negative film, because they do not take into account parameters and variables such as the type of development, the level of exposure, the type of light etc.,; at the same time we also avoid systems of "artificial intelligence" or other functions provided by semi-automatic scanning softwares, but instead we carry out the inversion in a full manual workflow for each individual picture.
In addition, scanning with Imacon-Hasselblad scanners we do not use their proprietary software - Flexcolor – to make color management and color inversion because we strongly believe that our alternative workflow provides much better results, and we are able to prove it with absolute clarity.
At each stage of the process we take care of meticulously adjusting the scanning parameters to the characteristics of the originals, to extrapolate the whole range of information possible from any image without "burning" or reductions in the tonal range, and strictly according to our customer's need and taste.
By default, we do not apply unsharp mask (USM) in our scans, except on request.
To scan reflective originals we follow the same guidelines and guarantee the same quality standard.
We guarantee the utmost thoroughness and expertise in the work of scanning and handling of the originals and we provide scans up to 12,000 dpi of resolution, at 16-bit, in RGB, GRAYSCALE, LAB or CMYK color mode; unless otherwise indicated, files are saved with Adobe RGB 1998 or ProPhoto RGB color profile.
Nothing but a silly idea to hold up a magnifiying glass in front of one of our pendant lights over the cooktop.

Here we signed our names in the joists!
One of our more adventurous DIY projects. We demo'd the sagging wet plaster ceiling in the living room, retaining the coved ceiling by using a RotoZip spiral saw around the perimeter to get a clean cut through the plaster and lathe. Then we installed 10 small halogen recessed lights, drywall, two wall switches and two wall sconces--all in four weekends. Weekend one - demolish; weekend two - wire; weekend three - install drywall. We hired someone to do the mudding. Then the following weekend we painted.
A couple of days ago, a good friend and neighbor gave us a delicious berry pie. It came in a lightweight aluminum “one use” pie-plate. After we had eaten the pie, I washed the pie-plate in our dishwasher. When it was dry, I set it on our kitchen counter, upside-down, under some halogen ceiling spotlights that shine down on that countertop. In the light of those spotlights, I noticed that the metal of the pie-plate was shining with several brightly colored, iridescent areas. With the color saturation bumped up just a bit in editing, this is how it looked!
