About half way there with next wood form for casting.... Hopefully I'll finish it by Satruday evening. This startd as a 17" x 8" x 3" board of Basswood
Smaller, more and differently shaped. Loses the subtlety of the gradient though. Plus the stars are a bit shonky.
...so I finally caved in a took some shots in the RAW mode (well I took them JPG + RAW). I've long been conflicted about processing images too much, however, what finally convinced me is that especially on night shots I can modify things in 2 seconds - things that I'd have to spend minutes to experiment with on the camera. For instance, (as was pointed out in a recent comment) you can slide the WB to get one you like. This is the same as taking lots of pics - typically I will attempt the same shot in several WB modes. Similarly you can switch to Landscape mode or add saturation. These are all things I do on the camera anyway. In addition, if I play with these things in RAW (using a Canon program that came with the Rebel) I will learn more about when to use each - and this will help me achieve my main goal which still remains: taking the best shot right off the camera.
Messing with WB and saturation in RAW does not seem like cheating so I will probably take all crucial shots (and most night shots) in RAW from now on.
In some instance you are under pressure to hurry up. Often other people get impatient. Often you run out of time. Often stuff moves or nice light ends. Often you get eaten up by mosquitos (like today when I took this). Therefore often I don't have time to try 3 WBs and 2 saturation setting for each shot. RAW helps get more and better pictures faster.
In this I only changed the WB slightly and changed it to Landscape mode.
These screengrabs are from an application developed for an installation we had running at the Barbarian holiday party on December 14th in Boston. The setup was simple enough.
1) Drunk people.
2) Remote controlled camera and flash umbrellas in a make-shift photobooth.
3) Powermate knob controlling a Mac Automator script which would tell the camera to snap a photo, save the photo to a mac mini, resize the photo and place a copy into a shared folder.
4) MacBook Pro connected to a projector.
5) Processing application which pulls in photos from the Mac Mini and presents them as animated kaleidoscopes which are projected onto the wall above the dance floor.
Crowd-Made Party Visuals!
And now a few words about the presentation. Every 12 seconds, a new photo is pulled from the Mini. I decide randomly if it should be a 6, 12, or 18 pronged kaleidoscope star. I render the kaleidoscoped image to the screen and slowly push it back along the z axis so that it moves away from the viewer. This movement allows me to layer kaleidoscopic slides. The image itself is added as a texture to a bunch of mirror imaged triangles but I rotate the texture at a random speed so sometimes you get a central star gap which allows you to see through to the previous image.

It all started when we were cleaning out the photo club's locker. We found an old, expired disposable camera inside and nobody knew where it came from. Instead of throwing it out, I took it home and shot the roll in one weekend, eventually cross-processing it in some leftover E6 chemicals I had from my slide film processing. Since this is C41 (Color Negative) film, processed in E6 (Color Slide) chemicals, I expected some wild colors and strange effects. The result is actually strangely accurate to real life...

What I did: I took the original drawing, resized it to 10%, blurred a bit, then resized it back to 100%. This is the result. Pretty/scary.
actually this looks more like what I see while I'm drawing. I work at rather dimmed lighting, so that my perception is somewhat like what you see here instead of the actual scribblings I have to make to produce it.
I never expected that stripping all the detail from the original would produce something like this. Surprising for me it shows quite well what was there for me to work with.

Homage to a print that Jared Tarbell sent me a while ago. Thanks for the inspiration JT (though yours is much more elegant... nice trick with the black orb with multiple specular highlights... sublime!). Rendered out at 5000x5000. Check the fullsize to see the detail.
