MISSION 24: TIP
as any good agent would, I went to "Q" for some advice on a good gadget to use......he told me to keep it simple, hence the "Q" tip.
After being placed on a wet cotton swab, this male walnut orb-weaver (Nuctenea umbratica) began drinking eagerly and regained form (literally).

Yes. I bought them because they were purple. But I will use them! The background is a metallic silver, but it came out looking black.

How to make shots like these:
*) Leaving work early to find pink Q-tips
*) Searching in at least three shops for them (where are all those pink q-tips if you need them?!)
*) Heading for photography class
*) Coming home at 10pm
*) Carrying home a 30kg package (with your brand new studio lights)
*) Trying to set up those studio lights (feeling as dumb as never before doing it)
*) Eating some chocolate to calm down
*) Trying to to set up the studio lights again, this time correctly
*) Searching for some beer because you don't have any more chocolate
*) Arranging 100 Q-tips on your table (quite challenging when its midnight already and you drank some beer)
*) Swearing as loud as you can (your neighbours need to know about that f.... q-tips that fell off the f.... table)
*) Drinking more beer
*) Making some shots standing in your pyjamas on your dining table
*) Trying to edit some pictures in the middle of the night
*) Going to bed at 1.30am
*) Beeing terribly late for work the next day
*) Hoping that this counts for this week's pretty pink Tuesday theme (geometric pink)
the macromondays' theme this week is sharp as a tack--
obviously this is for focus ~grin~ took 108 pics but only some of them you'll see b/c i learned, when photographing a feather, that there are air currents that don't help when you are hand-held and trying to get a sharp focus ~grin~
btb, these are small travel scrabble tiles
I was holding out for some storm shots for tonight but it looks like the storm has by passed us by for now so the littles fellas decided they wanted to re enact the classic TV show "gladiators" with a quick game of Duel!

Can you believe it's just a week and a half to the next Drinking & Shooting photowalk? Yeah, me neither. Also, Wu Tang before and Santacon after. Next week is gonna be nuts!
It seems mildly egotistical to me to name a photo of myself with that title, but Tip was on when I was filling out the file info and it seemed to fit. Plus I've been staring at photos of my face for the past half hour, so I don't think ego factors into the equation at this point in time.
Please don't let me have caffeine and Nyquil together again.
Per usual, I'm renting a lens. I know I keep saying that I'm going to stop renting and start buying - and lord knows I've spent enough on rentals to at the very least get that 17-40 I've been eying - but I'm going to the desert. And I don't want to take a brand new lens to the desert. That is a recipe for heartbreak.
Anyway, I figured since I have this crazy sharp lens (the beloved TS-E 24mm) and a nifty remote (no, I don't own one of my own. shut up.), why not take a new picture for my icon?
Herein lies the problem: half my lighting gear is packed up goodness knows where. That half happens to include my softbox and my umbrella holders. Guess who rigged up a shoot-through with gaffers tape? This girl.
So the lighting, no, it wasn't the best. But it was good enough and I had a lot of fun making silly faces for the camera. I should really post a couple of the wholly unprocessed outtakes. And yeah, the noise is crazy bad. Such is ISO 2500. That's just how it goes. I could've shot it slower, sure, but I wanted to stop it down just a wee bit. f/3.5 manual focus self portrait? No thanks. I'd rather be in focus.
And I'm actually really pleased with this photo. Usually, like most people, I find something to pick at when I see myself on "film," but I mostly like how I look here. My eyebrows are a bit wonky, but they are 95% of the time anyway. There's a slight bit of cheekiness here that is just essential essential. I would not be me without that evil streak.
Pluuuus, how rad is my hat thing? Super rad.
HBW Everyone...
This is another plant growing along the edges of our pond down the street...

I think my gas cap is responsible for starting more conversions than almost any other single item on my Mustang. Most people have never seen one like it and are fascinated on how it flips open to put the hose in. Also at it's location on the car right below trunk lid, they think gas tank is actually in my trunk.
I like telling kids that is where the rocket fuel goes...
oh and yes, that is dust you see in the honeycomb panel...spent an hour with a dozen Q-tips cleaning it before a show, only to have to drive thru a dusty construction site to get to the place...so if there are any complaints I'll gladly provide you opportunity to clean it next time....bring your own Q-tips though

My dolls are going to sell jam at the farm stand. They made a batch of strawberry yesterday and black berry today.
1. Add 1 drop of red and 1 drop of blue food coloring to clear school glue. Stir.
2. Get it into the tiny craft jars with a pipette or baby medicine dropper. Clean off excess with qtips.
3. Print tiny labels. Attach with glue stick.
Ready to sell.
After door was cleaned up and patch was placed over door frame.
This is the porch after being fixed a bit.
It had weird white stuff all over the doors (sticker/tape residue) which I removed with rubbing alcohol on many Qtips.
It also had a paint loss area above the door. I initially stained it, but it still looked sloppy, so I added a thin strip of cereal cardboard that I painted brown.

I followed a Froggy Stuff video tutorial for the hot cocoa. What is really nice about this method is that it is removable and can be finished within an hour including drying time. It can be used to fill other containers with liquids like coffee, wine, juice or even soil for little pots.
I used brown construction paper instead of copy paper and had to add a top tier since my mugs go down at an angle. I used rolled up bits of copy paper for marshmallows instead of bits of Qtip like Froggy. The Qtip pieces were too big and were not convincing. I also tried just painting on marshmallows, but they were too flat.
I soaked a small piece of paper in water, broke it into bits, and then rolled them in Modge Podge before placing them on top as marshmallows.
