It’s my birthday on Monday and I have four days off work to deal with the trauma of hitting the big Five O. It’s a scary prospect so there’ll be lots of alcohol taken to help me deal with it. 😂 Tonight I’m drinking Chambord and rosé Prosecco. I was looking at the cracking patterns in the ice cubes so thought I’d snap a pic and use it for today. It has rained all day today but if the weather improves tomorrow I’ll try to get an outdoor photo.
Looking Close... on Friday: Spider and/or Spider Web
MSH October 2023: Trick
Somewhere in a kitchen drawer, my parents used to have a trick plastique icecube with a fake spider inside. (There are lots of unexpected things in their kitchen drawers and everywhere in their house, like an ugly plastic chicken in the butter compartment of the fridge. Don't ask.) Anyway, they don't know where the fake icecube is, so I recreated one with a real icecube and a fake spider. Pixie was of course quite amused.

Flying strawberry
I dropped an icecube to make the splash effect. The picture gives the illusion (I hope!) that the strawberry is flying!!. This time the camera was at the angle I wanted.
Strobist
Behind subject: Nikon SB28@1/32 power in Lastolite Ezybox Hotshoe softbox
Camera Right: Nikon SB24@1/16 power (snooted with honeycomb). This was aimed at the strawberry.
The glass contained water & blue dye.
Strawberry gives the impression (I hope) of flying in mid-air. I cut a wire hanger and secured to a lightstand to the right of the glass. Then I "punctured" the strawberry with the business end of the wire hanger.
Triggered with Cactus v2s
The white wire hanger was then cloned out in Photoshop CS3.
I added 0.5 f-stops in Lightroom 2.4 to brighten the picture.
I used High Speed mode on my camera (Olympus E-30)
LS&M: bright field (variation)
Soooooo good, you should try it! :-)
Short recipe: Take pieces of a ripe and sweet water melon, rub them through a sieve, freeze. Drink with Prosecco.
LIGHT
Just natural backlight from our balcony door.
No reflector or so involved this time.
EXIF
Canon EOS 5D Mk III with EF 50 f/1.4 at f/1.8. 1/640 sec, ISO 100, WB on auto, JPEG.
Same icecube shot from a different angle. (I prefer this one hehe!)
It looks a lot better larger here
TGIF to all my dear Flickr friends. Since moving house several months ago, I have had very little free time and made the decision to knock our usual Friday night soiree on the head. However, I have had several requests to see the cats again, so here’s one I made earlier. Thank you all for your continued friendship, inspiration, creative commenting and your tolerance of my very 'individual' sense of humour. Take care ♡ Cheers!

Opened in 1959, Sam Jordan's, the oldest black owned bar in San Francisco, closed in November of 2019...
Sam Jordan was born in Texas...after a stint in the Navy, he moved to San Francisco in 1947, where he worked as a longshoreman...He was a light-heavyweight boxer who won the San Francisco Golden Gloves, and a local personality known as “the “Mayor of Butchertown"...He was also the first African American to run for the actual title of San Francisco mayor in 1963, finishing fourth in a field of eight...Fallen into hard times with a debt of $500,000, the bar went through a major facelift on TV's "Bar Rescue" in 2016...but it wasn't enough to battle the gentrification of the once proud working class neighborhood...
"these are a few of My Favorite Things."
My favorite Christmas flowers are these white/yellow Poinsettias. They live happily in the house through the holidays if you feed them 2 ice cubes a day.

Flying strawberry
I dropped an icecube to make the splash effect and to give the illusion that of the "flying strawberry". It's almost as if it's rising from the dead!!!
My plan was to have the glass angled from the lower RHS of the photo. However, I goofed up and despite my efforts to repeat this from the correct side, I couldn't get a better picture than this. Will try again later....

An evening rising Sun? Is that a thing? Yes, here at South Pole, the Sun is up all day again now. It's still low enough for some nice soft sun rise light. After several days of storm it was nice to go outside again and to be able to see the Sun.
This photo was taken at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station during the 2014 Winter season.
This photo shows the Ice Cube Laboratory (ICL) at South Pole Station. This laboratory houses a great number of servers and electronics running Digital Optical Modules (or DOMs) that look for neutrinos passing through the earth. These DOMs hang hundreds to thousands of feet into the ice.
The building's lighting was helped tremendously by a super moon.
