This is an experiment with a (for me) new type of lightning tool. It is a bit brighter than I would like and I will have to experiment a bit to find a real use for it.
Still I thought the outcome was at least moderately interesting.

The inspiration for this image, and its title (as you may have easily guessed), is a line of R.E.M.'s 1991 hit 'Losing My Religion'. Since my college years R.E.M. have always been among my favourite bands. Back in the mid 1980s a friend of mine gave me a MC copy of the band's album 'Fables of the Reconstruction', and that was a revelation.
An experimental shot for college, like?
I achieved this look by firstly shooting in RAW; then, in Photoshop, I altered the image qualities to achieve the highest contrast possible before increasing the exposure heavily.
I was just playing around with some food colouring and ended up with this rather abstract piece. It definitely looks like something to me but will let you make your mind up
April 2004 and Alexander Setanta/DAF SB220 AD47 is seen with an experimental dot matrix destination display on Eden Quay
August 1997 and AD Class Alexander Setanta/DAF SB220 AD24 is seen in an experimental livery which thankfully was never adapted
Experimenting with Hoya Pop Colour filters & multiple exposures of the waterfall feature at the front of Star City in Sydney. Also experimented with a small depth of field.

Straight out of the camera experimental combo of indoor light painting via a digital light wand and a LED, then a lens cap followed by some ten stopper assisted shonky camera rotation outside in the yard.
Trying out timelapse photography on the fireworks tonight. All went well before the fireworks started by setting the camera to shutter priority, as soon as fireworks started however different aperture compensation has made some images way darker than the other ones - that's what's causing the flickering. Will try the manual mode next time to see if I can get better results, stay tuned!

The A2R3 Experimental prototype was designed by an automobile engineer who was inspired by articles he read on the Gyrojet munitions project. While very few working concepts or prototypes were ever created, the designs gained a moderate amount of notoriety due to a "hotrod" aesthetic applied to many of them, even earning the designer a Popular Mechanics Magazine write up.
Later, after immigrating to Australia to retire, a few final prototypes were designed for testing by the Australian military - these would be the A2R3s (Anti-Armor, Rapid Repeating Rocket). The hope was to create a more versatile infantry armor solution. One rocket would be enough to punch a hole in a sturdy car, two through a military vehicle, and theoretically 4 to get through an armored personnel carrier. In practice, however, it was found that higher penetration levels were difficult to achieve unless each rocket landed precisely upon the previous detonation point. Thick enough armor, like that of a main battle tank, could be too thick for the rockets to have much effect whatsoever.
The idea would eventually be sidelined, but documentation from the A2R3 project alongside the Gyrojet project would later be used by the Americans for the development of the the ARMS project XM250 (www.flickr.com/photos/ironwolfweapons/50011532112/in/date...)

I don't like flashy awards, since they're mostly given because of an obligation to stupid group rules. If you got something to say, say it in your own words and not by copying and pasting. I don't follow such rules, so if you have the sweaper running, don't even bother to invite me please. As of now the flashy awards will be removed, no offence!

I was about to go to sleep but then just realized I had to cut and sleeve the 120 roll that I was drying in the bathroom. I wanted to take a look at the actual shots, but I was just too lazy to fire up my scanner.
I turned on my tiny portable lightbox and looked at the negatives. Then I thought "What if I just take a shot of this with my iPhone, and send it to myself, then invert the shot to get positive picture??"
So that's precisely what I did. I'm not too much into experimental/lomogoraphy/alternative process type of stuff, but this was kinda fun and I somehow liked the result. So here it is. To obey my own rule, no cropping to the shot nor to the iPhone capture of the negative.

I have joined a group to add a photo a week - this week's theme is "experimental". I have been reading about zooming whilst using a low shutter speed and this is what I came up with. It is our regular Magpie visitor sitting on a pot plant in our garden. This is a lot more difficult than I imagined and only these two photos were okay out of about ten that I took.
