Experimenting.

Experiment

I've not shot into the evening sun so directly before, but I did want to see if I could capture the hay and dust stirred up by our neighbor's tractor.

My husband walked down the lane after I began, and weighed in today: he would have shot a more perpendicular angle with fewer or no sun flares, yet still capturing the light. I mention this so that you'll know I'm open to suggestions. (Previous photo link in first comment.)

Nikon D810, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 (130mm)

1/320 sec; f/16; ISO 250

manual exposure, monopod

Thanks for looking and for your fun comments. I think Flickr tagged this one well: "surreal" ;)

Beads on black. Experimenting to bring up enough light, but not to blow the highlights.

My sister brought some of these beads from Kenya. She enjoyed bartering for them, she said.

Experiments

The small DSC-RX100M3 performs miracles in the dark, certainly a piece of art of the Sony's technology 😮

Experiments with trying to backlight the cabbage leaves. I don't like how tightly cropped the image is but my board was my limiting size. I might try again with a more neutral palette. Happy I tried something new, playing helps my mood. Do you post your fails as well as your successes? I like sharing so others know not everything is successful but you try again another day.

Here is another experiment with light and liquids.

Sony α7

Samyang 100 mm f/2.8

In the boundless landscape of pixel world, magic thrives, unconstrained by the limitations of reality. It is a realm where the impossible becomes possible. Aardvark always sprinkle a little bit of that magic into our world, coloring the experiences with wonder and possibility.

Owls and bears seem to have intertwined their destinies, a glimpse into a world where nature’s experiments might lead to the emergence of these charming, fantastical creations...

Perhaps you will understand that this was initially a dandelion photo.

the balls are covered with glue,painted with watercolr on Fabriano paper and then textured

Experiment

I'm liking this, however I want to see if can acheive it on paper with oils or tea stain or something... we'll see, nothing like experimenting! :)

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

I've been experimenting a bit again. The lovely Ally gave me a few tips. I wanted too much right away, so I'm starting with the basics and learning how to handle image resolution before experimenting further with my own backgrounds. ^^ About the picture: I'm wearing something more elegant because I rarely wear it in my normal SL life. It's a beautiful dress that Keith gave me, and I treasure it very much.

It's the Siren dress from UTOPIA.

Experimenting with HDR

I've posted shots before of this fountain near me. It's on until 9pm from May to September, and to depict photographically the flow of the water, I've had to shoot it either at night

flic.kr/p/PLzAiE

or at twilight

flic.kr/p/nEpaKM

because I just couldn't get a long enough exposure during the day to capture the flow, not even at f/36!

flic.kr/p/nS6cbU

So this time I tried it with my new 10-stop ND filter, and I like how it came out. I like being able to capture the fountain's flow during broad daylight (this was a 15-second exposure at f/25), and compared to the evening or night shots it's less contrast-y and yet the light is still good. So I think I'm going to stick with this filter for my daytime long-exposure shots.

Converting a RAW image by using the photo editing software of my iMac and, then, sending it straight to Flickr. It does work, is easy, produces presentable results, but offers a rather restricted range of editorial possibilities [image was shot in Fuji's Acros B+W R film simulation which, of course, was eliminated by Apple's photo editor. In order to preserve this setting I would have to use Fuji's Silkypix raw converter].

When it was raining the other day I decided to experiment with a CD disc, water droplets and a torch.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

Experimenting with combining RGB, hydrogen alpha and UHC filter data on the Carina nebula, this has approx 10 hours of data in it, RGB data from Hawker, Ha mostly from Adelaide, UHC from Hawker. I used Astro Pixel Processor to extract OIII from the UHC data which was used to add to the blue of the RGB, the Ha was used as luminance. Final tweaking in Photoshop. Mostly 10 minute exposures, D810A, APT camera control software, 600mm VR lens at f/4, Celestron CGEM II EQ mount, PHD2 guiding, Astronomik 12nm HA and UHC filters. I like the blue in this but the centre of the nebula has been blown out...

This was taken on a Voigtlander Bessa folding camera, (c1929)

Very simple camera, with bellows, no light meter and focus only by distance. It takes 6x9 negatives. Some issues of lens separation unfortunately, not sure if anything can be done about that.

Taken on Fomapan 200, and developed with Microphen (stock) Scanned on digital camera.

robin not in focus but hopefully will improve

panasonic lumix tz70

this afternoon i continued to experiment with my new camera. i used the scene and macro settings together with the focus lever. it's a lovely camera to hold and the weight all ok ... but practise, practise, practise

i had been waiting for a panasonic lumix tz90 but there is a global shortage of point and shoot cameras petapixel.com/2021/10/15/the-camera-industry-is-trapped-d... i was on various waiting lists but no stockist had any idea when it would be available. a panasonic lumix tz70 was in stock last week www.lcegroup.co.uk/New-Equipment-Home/ i bought it rather than have a possible prolonged frustrating wait for the tz90

for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

Happy Bokeh Wednesday

Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!

Yellow ball on electric wires,,, backlight experiment

I think it turned out quite interesting.

this morning i experimented with my new camera on the macro setting but also used the focus lever. it's a lovely camera to hold and the weight all ok ... but practise, practise, practise

Adjusting my camera setting to “Watercolour” I rather like this favourite scene in Barmouth, Wales
