Some background highlights are preserved and the foreground looks good. The RAW capture is even better. GH1 w/ 20mm wins this one.

Got to practice some back lighting techniques w/ the flash acting as a flare today.. I've seen so many really nice shots pointing toward the sun that I wanted to work on some as well (obviously w/ a flash instead). I think this technique will really come in handy in the future.

Yesterday I was in an odd mood and tried to make some backlight shots

Really love what you can do with small flashes. I'm shooting Sinead with my orbis® ring flash with a second CLS-triggered SB800 on a frio™ behind her aimed right into the camera. In a tiny booth in the middle of a tradeshow. Might try flipping this into B&W for a classic film noir look. 'Cos she nailed it. © James Madelin 2011.
Light Tape® www.lighttape.co.uk
Thinner than a credit card Light Tape® is extremely versatile, flexible and durable.
A single connection at one end can drive over 30m of light tape with consistent even illumination with no hot spots or dots.
Cool to the touch with ultra-low power consumption light tape is just a fraction of the operating and maintenance costs of Neon, Fluorescent and even LED lighting systems.
Light Tape® can be powered by either AC or DC drivers and is available in a verity of widths and colours, in rolls or sheets for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Olympus OM2N Film Camera.
24MM Lens.
Filter IR720 with Cokin Diffusser 002.
Rollei Retro 80S.
This was a challenge, the light was changing so rapidly and I was faced with Backlight at the same time, I had no choice but to just Bracket the Exposure, using an OM2n everything must be done by me, these manual cameras are slow to use.Tip: when using a Diffusser on a wide angle lens, open the Apeture up more or else you will lose the effect, this was shot at F4.
A Cokin Diffusser was used, which I knew would calm down the contrast on Rollei Retro, this is more of a contrasty film than Efke IR820.
TEA-LEAVED WILLOW.
Playing with backlighting and extreme DOF. This required 5 shots, with different focusing for each stem, still leaving plenty of out-of-focus area in the shot. All were then combined in Ps.
The stems are about 15 mm in length. I tried a square crop, but didn't like it, so you just get it uncropped.

Preliminary Report on Unidentified Object 92002, "The Chiron Derelict"
I created a video to demonstrate the (hand-cranked) flickering backlight of the Neuronal Node. (This is the Director's Cut - if you saw the video when I posted earlier pictures, the music is better now and the whole thing has been reworked. The video is over on YouTube, because Flickr's video player doesn't seem to work very well.) Enjoy!
Discovered by a robot probe exploring the minor planet 2060 Chiron, object 92002 appears to be nothing less than an interstellar spacecraft of nonhuman origin.
The relevant probe imagery was suppressed, and an unprecedented manned exploration mission was dispatched to investigate the artifact.
Adrift, apparently long abandoned, the vessel is nonetheless far from lifeless. Indeed, the ship itself is alive. It shows every indication of being a complex colony organism composed of many disparate subunits, which the exploration team calls "nodes".
This appears to be no natural space-going lifeform, but a deliberately assembled combination of biomechanoid modules. Most of the nodes are so completely self-contained, so tightly specialized, and so efficient at their functions, that they must have been genetically engineered with near godlike skill.
This "neuronal" node appears to be a small-scale neural network, equivalent in decision-making power to perhaps a few dozen biological neurons. These nodes - many thousands of them, no two exactly alike - are part of a larger apparent network that covers the derelict's surface in complex stripes and webs, integrating other types of nodes at times.
Many of the derelict's neuronal nodes seem to be still active, even when excised and placed in shielded storage. There are dark patches, but it would be prudent to assume that the derelict as a whole may be, even now, intelligent and aware.
The unexpected discovery of such an advanced alien artifact so close to Earth is alarming, and the apparent abandonment of the vessel by its presumed crew is hardly reassuring. If they - whoever they are - are not still on board...where did they go?
This is an illuminated alien/organic greeble study for Greeble De Mayo 2015, Week Three.
