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.
I used this song to accompany a photo once before, but it was a very real street shot, not an experimental/interpretive piece. So, here we go again.
What can I say? I really dig The Postal Service. Ben, please make another album for me.
I had fun while processing this and using some silly picnic toys to create the effect, but I'm not really taking this one "seriously."

We Will Become Silhouettes

I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water,
And pictures of you and I'm not coming out
Until this is all over
And I'm looking through the glass where the light bends
At the cracks
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending
The echoes belong to someone
Someone I used to know
And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
Ba ba ba...
I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet,
But all the news reports recommended that
I stay indoors
Because the air outside will make our cells
Divide at an alarming rate until our shells
Simply cannot hold all our insides in,
And that's when we'll explode
(and it won't be a pretty sight)
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
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.
I had a long and good chat with one of my freinds this night and it really got me exited to try something new, so this is an experimental series of shots and im pretty happy how the pictures came out with this easy but strange method!

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
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.

This is my 3rd try of panning a moving subject. Well, it didn't came as good as I thought, but oh well, have to keep on practising. :) Comments about this photo are highly appreciated. Thank you!
This is what you get when you shoot a roll red scale and decide to correct colors in the direction of... abnormality? ca. 2016 or so.

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...)

"Experiment time" 😆
So I had a bag of King Arthur's 00 Neapolitan Pizza Flour. I used this a few months ago and I didn't like it. Come to find out that the protein in it is 8.5%, way too low for Neapolitan pizza. 00 flour for pizza should be around 10-15% according to pizzaiolos.
Well I thought I'd fix this by combining it with some bread flour. Didn't have enough. Then all purpose flour. All from King Arthur. I think if I did my calculations correctly I should have increased it to ~11%. But
I've heard using Manitoba flour gets you a better more elastic dough. That flour is usually 14-15%. So I added vital wheat gluten to increas the strength and to get a better stretch.
Well let me tell you, this experiment sucked. All that wheat gluten made it difficult to knead. 30 minutes in the kitchen aid. 10 minute rest. 10 minutes in the kitchen aid. Then I kneaded for 1 hour by hand (slap and fold technique) because the kitchen aid got too hot and I started smelling smoke.
I added enough gluten to increase it by ~4%. Also added malt powder to get a brown crust since this will be made in the oven. I think next time I'l just buy Manitoba flour, that much wheat gluten made this flour unbearable to work with.
Dough balls are both 280g. With 6 more fermenting for the rest of the week.
