shouldn't we stay together
we can work it out
are there any changes coming
sure i'd love to change it all
Since the Fatal Fluffies were overseers on a space station in the cartoon, it seemed natural to replicate the idea for the figures.
Here we see a couple of nameless Joes (Black Major customs) aboard Cobra Space Station, one of my old concepts from photos several years ago.
I tend to favor the figures and the comics over the cartoon, but adding these Fatal Fluffies to the mix is fun. Most of the shots I took depicted them in a blurry or shadowy way, possibly as a subconscious effort to portray them as more monstrous.
Kick off my shoes, hop up on the bar, snap a few pics... isn't that what all of us do when we get home???
Still working on my LEGO Star Wars Minifigs collection. This is the sixth of my displays.
Not very happy with the lighting and the colors. Will try to do better when posting the final picture, with the entire collection.
You can guess on this one....it's a macro...I didn't change the pic...just saturated the colors.....and speaking of WORK.....I gots to hit the road. Have a great weekend all !!!!
Did you ever think of just driving your car as far away as you can instead of going to work in the morning? It's a thought that captivates me, and that's how I imagine someone could end up after driving until they no longer have gas in the tank.
I had wanted to try astro-landscape portraits for a while now. For my first try, I asked my old student, coworker and friend to drive out really far to go see the Milky Way.
We ended up at Churn Creek Protected Area, a gorgeous location I encourage people to visit. But beware, the last 80km or so are done on a dirt path snaking between hills and overlooking cliffs.
Once you arrive on location, you end up in an arid area where the Churn Creek canyon intersects with the Fraser canyon. This place is amazing.
For our shoot, I was hoping the night would get pitch black, but we were far enough in the North that it actually didn't and I was able to navigate without using my flashlight despite that night being moonless and the location a 1 or 2 on the Bortle scale of light pollution. Despite the night being surprisingly bright and slightly cloudy at the same time, details were still visible in the Milky Way.
But it means I'll have to return at the end of the summer, when days will become shorter again and nights longer.
This shoot was done with my Sony A7R, my LA-EA3 adapter, my Sigma ART 35mm, Yongnuo Flashes (3) and flash trigger and a Pixel remote camera trigger.
I configured the shot before sunset, placing the car and the camera so that I could take a shot with enough exposure difference to be able to separate the sky and the foreground in a masking shot. I then waited patiently for the night to fall, and when it started getting dark but before the Milky Way really appeared, I arranged the shot with my model. I purposefully had the flashes have a blueish temperature compared to the white balance, and I pointed two of them at the model and the front of the car, while a third gelled flash gave some colors to the inside of the car. Next, I took series of photos of the Milky Way, which was faint but nevertheless detailed because of how bright the night was. And finally, I did a 24:40 exposure to expose the background (the mountains and parts of the canyon).
After all that, I just had to put everything together. The sky is noisier than I would have liked, because I had to separate it from the sun's light pollution.
Anyway. I'm pretty happy with that first try. I know it's a composite shot, and taking it in one shot would have been easier, but I didn't want everything to be grainy because of the high ISO, so I preferred compositing the image to hopefully end up with a higher image quality compared to similar in-camera shots. I could have used a slightly lower ISO by using a wider angle lens, but I really wanted the Milky Way to look big in the sky.
