Stuff to add to my cover, because all my covers online are this image. Assembled and rendered by me, assets gathered from around the internet.
P52 picture for this week. The theme was clockwork. And I was thinking about clockwork orange immediately. I did this picture with Robin Pronk. We started with a almost familiar setup of a cutting board with a gelled flash behind it.
Strobist Info
SB600 (1/40, 24mm blue gel) for the background.
SB900 (1/128, 200mm aimed from the left at the orange. We used a 3stops ND filter to reduce the light of the flash further. Gelled orange
Final flash was a SB800 24mm through a piece of kitchen paper. (24mm, 1/128 power)
Down, down where the air is close and the light is twisted by eldritch energy most vile, Clockwork Cthulu waits for you...
Lighting: Speedlight with green gel behind. Einstein in 64-inch PLM left, twin speed lights in umbrella octabox camera right.
Post processing in LR CC, PS CC, Viveza 2 and Color Efex Pro 4.

*I posted a photograph of this LIving Picture in 2008 when I was using much smaller images. I was showing the clockwork toy to some visitors this week and it sent me back to my images to find a larger picture.
This is a view of the back of the Clockwork Tableau of a Photographer with the backboard removed. All the cardboard gears, fine wires, and string appear to be original. With a few turns of the key the action will go on for several minutes and after it stops a tilt of the box will start it again.
Companion piece to Clockworks. Same size, reversed color scheme.
12 x 8.5" in upcycled cabinet door frame (not pictured), made with iridescent glass and stained glass.
I'm on a Tom Robbins fling these days. The following quote, from *Even Cowgirls Get the Blues*, is the inspiration for this piece:
"...wouldn't the very knowledge that there are clockworks ticking away behind the wallpaper of civilization, unbeknownst to leaders, organizers, and managers (the President included), wouldn't that knowledge, suggesting as it does the possibility of unimaginable alternatives, wouldn't that knowledge be a bubble bath for your heart?"
this is definitely more Tinkerbell's style (being a tinker and all). :) She's wearing Robecca Steam's outfit (monster high). I LOVE this on her!! I can't even express how much. lol
Another day, another wind-up!
This motor came from a set I found at a flea market. Its not that great it takes a lot of winding to not go very far. But since I can experiment with different gearings, we got plenty of time to mess with it.
yea its a dumb looking train, but its further proof of concept.
I have ordered some of the newer wind up motors today, I would love to see if I could pull off a narrow gauge wind up layout!
Diptych 2 of the Chocolate Milk Ponies Project
THEME: GOLD
WORD: PLAYGROUND (Anna)
We were both inspired by sunlight for our images and it was really hard to do that when it was rainy and overcast all weekend. I managed to get out in the only half hour that was sunny today to do my shots. I really wanted to show how magical it feels to play in the sun as a child. You are swept away and nothing else matters in the world. I'd like to think of childhood as the golden years.
WORD:CLOCKWORK (Mysi)
This was basically inspired by the season changing. Seasons are really supposed to be like clockwork... summer fall winter spring. But in the Midwest, and because of climate change, and because time is a made up thing anyway, it's not. It's all wonky. So the clock is hung up in the tree, waiting for blooming to happen.
NEXT UP: THE LION & THE LAMB: EVILDOER & DOWNHILL
This is a project inspired by The Divine Diptych Project. But our project is based on two best friends who are photographers and how they want to create together. Mysi Finlay is the owner of Soda Fountain Photography and Anna Sykes is the owner of Jackson Street Photography.
The rules of the project goes as this:
One diptych a week (more or less, depending on how busy their schedule is)
There will be a main theme that both artists will have to use.
There will be another theme that each individual artist will have to use, the theme is picked from a random word generator. The artist will generate 5 words and pick out their favorite.
Post production will be a team effort so that the pictures will work together.
You can follow this project here:
A group of people came up to these guys and asked them to pose with their kids while we were standing there. Talked to these two afterward, and they seemed unnerved by the idea of parents wanting pictures of their kids with them, considering the costumes.
