I'm not going to lie. I found this pretty hard to complete this week... There's something about too much work, too much rain and too much loneliness that puts a knife right through your creativity but I fought through it. I worked hard, put my vinyl sneakers on, and do what I love to do - I took photos.
Here's a collage for this week's Nikon D90 Club challenge Assignment Redux. My personal favourite would be the one I did of the NES controller... Nintendo holds a very special place in my heart.
Macro or close-up: They don't make them like they used to - and I'm talking about video games. You can put me in the same room as an XBOX and an original NES and I'll choose Duck Hunt or Contra any day over Halo or whatever shit the cool kids are talking about these days. Taken with the kit lens under a flourescent bulb on some white poster board.
Slow Shutter Shots: Slow shutter? You got slow shutter. An f-stop of 22 and an exposure of 25 fucking seconds. Yes. Full of awesome. I guess this sort of looks like light painting too but I had to find something to do in 25 seconds, didn't I? Kit lens again yo.
Bokeh: This is my city, Vancouverrrrr. The city of rain. It's kind of depressing covering your light up with an umbrella so I choose to have a Japanese-stylez umbrella. I love being able to see where I am going under an umbrella and I still get the natural light too. This was with my beautiful bokeh lens - 50mm prime at f/1.4.. Pushed that baby open as far as it could go!
Dutch Angle: This isn't my original dutch angle... I went shooting by myself in the rain and all the long exposures looked so terrible. Too much rain, too wet, too sad. I know this isn't much better and we're all sick of my legs but I had to do something else. There be my 'less than three' foot tattoo, one of my favourites. Taken in front of a mirror with the assistance of Live View on ye kit lens.
Night Shots: Here's my backyard mall, the biggest mall in BC - Metropolis/Metrotown. I remember when it was called Eaton Center and I remember when this front looked completely different. I've been kicked out of this mall countless amounts of time for having a camera slung around my neck. I took this in the parking lot, hoping security wouldn't find me. Metered shot. Kit lens.
Panning: By far, this was the hardest shot. I just looked like a creeper at Waterfront with my camera and shot two skytrains. Luckily it only took two shots (with some practise when I was waiting at Broadway). I was overexposing at first because I thought a full second was required for that blur but it was actually only 1/10 of a second required. Kit lens of course since I was out in the public domain and needed a zoom lens.
Light Painting: w00ts, I can't believe I've had this lightsaber and haven't done anything with it. Kit lens on 6" - I used my Canon 430ex flash at the end of 4 seconds. Now I just need to find someone with the patience so I can have one of myself like this.. (You know, I am a Jedi and all.)
Zoom Burst: Here be my Logitech G15 gaming keyboard. I wish I had the first generation one so if anyone wants to trade... here's hoping! (I am a sucker for blue LEDs)... Between each zoom, I would hold for a little bit, then I continued zooming. Zing zing zing....
I have been a strong admirer of the gorgeous sky & cloud images of my flicker friend Ian (glowingtones). He graciously offered to show me some of his techniques using one of my images and I sent him the original raw file to work from. Above are the two results. The left panel is an adjusted color image (where you can see a little of the original treetops that I cropped out) and the right is a duotone.
I really love both, and I learned a lot, especially at not keeping the adjustments always on the modest side as I tend to do. I am also still happy with my original, but I have courage that pushing the adjustments farther can have equally magical results.
Thanks so much Ian!!

This is my first MOC, the shunter that is used in my 7777 redux diorama. It is motorized (PF) and has a battery, train motor and IR receiver included.
A minifig can still comfortably fit in here, which was large a requirement for myself.

This of Austin in the hospital with pneumonia (with a 50/50 chance of survival as he was born with a collapsed lung).
Yet another History-Redux pic posted on the same date it was taken (14-years apart).
He survived and is stronger than ever!

3. Abstract Redux. As a guideline, let’s use minimal post processing. Shoot something that shows the world in a different way.
Part 2 of my 7777 Redux entry - The Station.
This shot with train in station - The carriage is 7740's carriage not an MOC, though the Engine is 100% mine.

I have dreams about this place. Redux of a previously posted photo archived photo. This is a 4x5 large format negative scan. Recently printed this for a friend (old school style in the trays) for his office. Time for a road trip.
Enjoy my art? Visit the CrispyFotos Photography Store and enjoy it in print!
So, I am reprinting this entire boxing series and rescanning them in.
I am also about to set up an etsy account this week! Which these photos will be available for sell.
ALSO: Dusting is from the scanner, and not the actual print.
Internal reflections from the pentaprism removed using photoshop clone tool. Handheld shot 1/50th second using only natural candle light.
A small can of Squirt gets hit by a small nylon cylinder traveling at 460 miles per hour/750kph.
Lots of spray.
I am still figuring out a good target for this new cannon. Once again, the large projectile transfers so much energy to the target that there is no real chance of penetrating the poor thing.
This is also my one thousandth posted high speed photo. It's been a strange and interesting process.
It's windy as hell here today, cold Santa Ana winds. Gusts up to 50mph, which kind of rattle the house.
Cheers.

at least the film didn't cost me anything, and i got a free roll in exchange for it. hooray for rabbit photo (but not their mediocre staff or their scanning skills)
No, this is not an HDR. The above image was from a single exposure.
(however, the tone-remapping that was done is similar to the final step in creating an HDR. in Lightroom you can do this by dialing back the exposure slightly and exaggerating fill light. of course, I made some changes to colors, contrast etc as well, but that is too dull to remember in detail)
