Hullo everybody. :3 At the last minute, I decided I didn't like any of the ideas (or they were rather impossible until I learn more about them) so I just went outside and had a little walk around. And so, I just took photos of the little daisy patch I've already taken photos of recently in the project.

I'll try some of the ideas some other days, I guess, but for now, I hope you all had a lovely Thursday! Oh, and something rather yummeh is in comments. :33

Shot on iPhone 5.

So, this was always going to be my shot of the day - although it looked like a worry for a while.

Meg and I finished icing this today. Her party is this weekend.

This is probably the hardest cake I've made - and the most rewarding. The cake itself was easy - it's those damn wizards who keep giving me grief. Just after I took the picture Ron had a disaster. He'll be okay. I've sent him to Madame Pomfrey to grow some new bones overnight.

This was the best angle for the picture of the day - but the ones in comments give a better idea of the cake.

Ok... I've become a slacker again with 365. Motivation, people!! :)

It's February, so I am sure love is in the air...

30 Days of Perception - Day 25

We spend a lot of our time looking at screens: computers, iPads, iPhones, TV ... how did all of that happen? Sometimes, it's really necessary to seek out a horizon by looking into the distance. We need to seek depth and a longer view to rest our eyes and mind.

From my home, there is no view, only buildings - so I feel the need to get out every day to look beyond the brick and concrete walls, to feel liberated and able to breathe in the openness.

Today, there are no bright colourful scenes to impress our eyes. But the subdued scenes like this allow us to listen to what's happening inside.

I caught tiny patches of blue sky and that opened my inner horizons as I let them swirl around inside of me.

Even when the horizons are hidden by mist and greyness, the sky can uplift our minds as we take in the wider view.

sooo. the orange wall makes a triumphant return. Two days in a row...

25 days... and I'm breaking plates... wow..

true story:

When I was in elementary school, we occasionally had a substitute teacher whose name escapes me, but I clearly recall her nickname. We called her The Bell Witch.

She was old. And yeah, I know that when you're eight everyone seems old, but seriously. She was OLD. She wore a long black dress, high-necked and severe, and her gray hair was scraped back into a tight bun. She had a dry, raspy voice, and she never smiled.

The woman scared the hell out of me.

But above all that, this is the thing I will always remember: she did not believe in recess or outside play. When recess time came around, rather than letting us scatter outdoors and run off our obnoxious and perfectly natural childhood energies, she made us all sit at our desks and write this same phrase over and over: Idle Hands Are The Devil's Workshop.

Quite honestly, even then ... at that tender age ... I was puzzled. Children at play rarely exhibit idle hands. And I had no idea what The Devil's Workshop was, but it seemed rather fascinating and exotic and as lurid as an eight-year-old's day-glo imagination would allow ... like one of the illustrations in an unabridged book of Grimm's Fairy Tales.

The phrase has fed my imagination these many years, both humorously and philosophically ... it has become the punch line to many a bad joke; it has also remained a point to ponder. Are idle hands truly the devil's workshop?

Or is it more likely that malice and discontent take root and flourish in an idle mind?

Recently I went into Borders and they had a sale on various soft toys. I just had to get a whole bunch of them (for the kids, obviously (yeah, right!)). One of those toys was Domo, a Japanese brown thing with big mouth and sharp teeth.

Domo seems to be the third most popular subject to shoot on Flickr - right after "a cup of bokeh" and "a portrait with a thoughtful caption". Gotta follow the trend and shoot meself some Domo.

The lighting setup was quick and dirty, I didn't have time to think about light modifiers so I used two bare flashes and another one reflected from a piece of white cardboard. The red "eyes" on the background is me swinging a flashing red LED light. For this I had to put the camera on tripod and remote release it with my Yongnuo RF-602. The shutter speed was 4 seconds to allow me to paint the red "eyes".

So there you have it: backlighting, two gels and light painting in one shot.
