not yet perfect... still a long way to go, but as a first experiment I'm not that unhappy with it ;) !!
Heyy sexy ;D
Jk, Jk.
Though there is something I love about Halloween effects on PicMonkey...lol
Anyway, have you guys thought about what you want to be for Halloween?
Well this year, I'm going as a zombie nurse. I have thing for homemade costumes. They just seem more original :) My mom has agreed to let me have a pair of her old scrubs to tear up and mess with. Then I have a cheap-o makeup kit from the dollar store that has some thing i'm able to use. All I need is some more stage blood and a recipe for artificial wounds- and wah-la, I'm a zombie.
Geez, this seems longg.
So yeah c:
What will you be this Halloween?
I just want to process this shot following a vintage nostaligic mood. I've tryed to ricreate something i lived in the seventies when I was a little girl. I have some doubt about the results, but this is my best for now.
A concrete pump operator finished work here at this location and begins folding down to relocate. This construction site is part of highway Interstate 69 In Rosenberg, Texas, near Houston. In support of America’s international trade routs, when finished, the highway will stretch border to border across America and connect Mexico to Canada. The project will take decades to finish.
Another shot from the first roll through my Agfa Record pinhole camera, I will be experimenting with this a bit.

This experiment demonstrates the shift in color from yellow-green to blue-green of minerals containing the uranyl ion in conjunction with carbonates.
On the right ~15mL of calcined garden gypsum (rinsed) was combined with 7.5mL of a boiling solution containing sodium chloride, sodium carbonate and uranyl nitrate in an aluminum form. The mixture released much gas (CO2 ?).
On the left ~15mL of DAP Plaster of Paris (containing CaCO3) was combined with 7.5mL of the cooled previously mentioned solution after it had been treated with HCl to remove the carbonate ions. The still acidic solution reacted with the CaCO3 in the Plaster of Paris mix and was mostly neutralized by the CaCO3 becoming CaCl2 and CO2 gas (and H2O). The mixture was left to set in a plastic form.

Much appreciation to Gordon Czop for the uranyl nitrate.

not happy with this one. the aperture is way off. the stencil in the center bottom also did not work out as a result of the aperture and shit kicked stencil box.
Connectivity and readymade.
Experimenting, manipulating and combining daily life objects in order to attempt, to force or to mystify a workable connection between them, at least to make it visible and/or possible. This exercise is to be considered as a warm-up, a first step towards a further installation or project.

While thinking about lenses, I'm playing with old ones. I think next time, I'll pull out the tripod and think a little more about what I'm doing.

Moody Experiment.
Some photos from a place you might already recognize, as there're many photos of it here. This time I tried to make something different out of the familiar views. After all, this is a landscape that probably is not scenic this time of the year. At least not for me, not in the usual sense. But of course there's a certain mood -- which might be something that comes out of myself, but I'm sure not without some stimulus, outside, it is really there, somehow. Can it be pictured? Can it be conveyed? How can you depict the actual first impression?
On a technical note: All done with old 50mm f/1.7 lens, all wide open, I used a Kenko nostaltone blue for diffusion and color shift. „Enhanced" in LR & PS.
FOV: 2.75" wide.
Uranyl nitrate and sodium chloride from a previous experiment was dissolved in water. Approx. 6mL of this solution was added to ~5mL of dry sodium metasilicate along with water in a small watch glass. This was rehydrated every few days for about two weeks as the sodium silicate would crystallize and then dissolve again. At the end of the two weeks it was dried under a small electric light bulb resulting in a clear glassy substance with a tinge of green color. On the surface formed large crystalline layer. Before the substance dried it was not very fluorescent. After drying and crystallizing, it became very fluorescent yellow-green under all UV wavelengths.
Because of the crystalline nature of the substance, I don't think I succeeded in creating hyalite opal which is amorphous and not crystalline.
