I've been admiring TTV for a long time now, and decided to give it a try.

Here are my first attempts.

This may not be for me because I got motion sickness! Seriously. I had to sit down for a couple minutes. And then Ollie, who watched me take forever to make it, grabbed the contraption and ran out into the yard with it for an exciting game of keep-away!

Seawhores played in the old bar at the Triple Rock where the pool table used to be. It was an extremely tight fit for the band and the audience.

The first nuthatch I've seen in ages... knew they had nested in the woods but hadn't spied any since. These are from my first trip out with the 70D, focus not quite perfect - think that is me, not the camera! (managed other sharp shots later in the morning of other subjects) but these seem to have a sort of 'watercolour' feel to them that I rather like.

Experimental panorama allowing the camera to stitch the shots together. Seems to have worked OK

“Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of demons”

~ Aldous Huxley [English Novelist and Critic, 1894-1963]

From a test shoot at my Studio Portraiture class with Kensia in front of the camera.

 

The lighting is a Bowen flashhead with a snoot, shot from the front, slightly right and sightly above, with a white reflector from the left to blanace out the shadows The light's set for an f8 exposure. There's also a background light, one stop below.

When you are just learning how to use a camera, sometimes you end up with horrible ghosts of images that you can sometimes tease into something. This being an example.

Apparently it's actually quite common to have difficulty with the focus on the Agfa Ansco I got in December. So that's my excuse for the fuzzy, and not my lack of understanding the new camera.
