Scene number three using the $4 table I painted yellow. Blogged about here: theshoppingsherpa.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/buzz-bar-yellow...
The title frame for this album is on I took in 1996 of Buzz Aldrin book signing in Monterey Ca. I have now reprocessed this using Negative Lab Pro software rather than my Lightroom preset that I constructed myself and which gave rather odd colours.
I'm going to Italy! Mom said i couldn't go 'cause I don't fit in her suitcase, but look! I DO fit! And I'm sure she won't mind paying the overweight charges.
Note from mom: We are supposed to go to Italy on Wednesday for two weeks vacation. With the volcano situation, I'm just not sure it's going to happen. But I've had this photo planned for weeks, so still wanted to use it. So, I may or may not be submitting the next two weeks and may or may not be commenting. It all depends on the fluctuating travel plans.
I'm going to go ahead and submit this partly because I had planned it and partly because if indeed we leave, I'll be busy tomorrow evening!
Cookies for my littlest's third birthday. We actually had two of these platters, one on each side of the cupcake tower.
Buzz Lightyear, the young alpaca, stands in some exposed tree roots. I thought his legs and the roots would look good together.

Even better at original size (if you can).
Echinacea is known for its medicinal uses... I'm not sure this bee cares, but it sure cheered me up. I believe I get bonus points for getting on the ground for this one. :-)

Space Ranger!
Testing out my new lens.
The lightsource(s) was the lamp above our diningroom table to keep the authenticity going. It's a toy and all... ;)

Normally we get a few days of the tear where this whole bush buzzes!! Today however, I had to really look for this little one!

Project 52 - 2014 Ellenburg Photography's Photo Challenge ~ #4 / 52 ~ A Favourite Toy
I've been discussing this topic with my son for a few days and he is adamant that his favourite toy is a large plastic green dinosaur transformer. Not photogenic in any way, shape or form in my opinion.
What's your second favourite toy then? ...
... the small dinosaur transformer. Grrr!!! Getting worse - it's not even colourful!
So we eventually agreed that as I didn't want to photograph a plastic toy we would use a small Viking figure that I bought him coming home from a work trip to Denmark. It's quite a cool little Viking, has definite character and I had plans so the concept started to form ;) ...
... then I spotted Buzz and Woody. Now you're talking!!! OK we're back to plastic again but if you want to talk favourite toy then what better than the classic favourite and the pretender to the throne!
So I composed the shot, it was nicely lit (IMO), had a bit of light painting which I've never tried before and it told a story with poor old Woody cast aside. And I almost submitted the result because I was pleased with it - it ticked a lot of boxes. But as Mrs H&C went to bed I decided I wasn't tired and I'd have another go ... because actually I could do better.
And for a start f/16 is pretty alien territory to me ;).
So the idea grew: the glass came out for the reflective surface; the aperture widened; the separation between Buzz, Woody and the background increased; the background was replaced with crumpled tin foil; the main light had a cloth draped over it as a flag to stop light spilling onto the background; the light painting was warmed up with a red gel and the finishing touch - a heart - what says "favourite" more than a heart ;) ?
I don't think I'm done with "A Favourite Toy" yet either. I still owe H&C Jnr a Viking and we also have plans to shoot a time-lapse with his lego at the weekend.
The Techy Bit ...
First off - this is straight out of camera other than setting white balance. Nothing else was adjusted. Well OK, the "Project 52 ..." text is photoshopped ;).
Buzz was the focal point at f/1.8 with the background (crumpled tin foil) about 1 metre behind.
The main light was a PhotoSEL HE400 studio flash, camera left at 1.1 (roughly 15% power) about 1.5m in front of Buzz and 1m above - sporting a large 90cm softbox and with a cloth draped over it to protect the background. The background was lit with an SB-910 with two blue gels, set to manual at 1/16 and zoomed out to 17mm - this light was positioned roughly underneath Woody.
The shot was then taken using an 85mm @ f/1.8. The shutter speed was 10s which was enough for me to trigger the camera then paint the light trails for which I used the flashlight on my phone with a red gel attached via wire tie.
My final techie comment ... my new D800 ... WOW ... it's ability to focus in next to no light is absolutely incredible!!! It can focus in light where I cannot see the buttons on my camera.
