Experimenting with colored lights, white lights and a gelled flash today. I have the sides of the bubble blocked with black cards to help define the shape. I'll share the bts on my Instagram story.
I decided to try lighting the Joshua Tree on the left with my headlamp as sunset light faded. It seemed to work. The tree on the right is lightened with Photoshop.
Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!
Explored.
Been getting quite a few new figs/fig parts over the past few weeks, and while experimenting with them I came up with these.
Count Vertigo: Head and torso combo goes to Killer Moth, but was then stolen by Allo :P Anyway, I just wanted to try the Apoc Hal torso on him.
Mr. Bloom: Man, I love how he turned out! :) The new Demogorgon head piece works really well.
Calendar Man: Got this head after seeing Moose use it awhile back.
Like I said, more DC stuff is in the works/already made, and will be uploaded within a few days time. And yea, I know I said I was gonna upload all the pics with the old background first :P But I’ll just re-take em with this background or something.
As always, your thoughts are greatly appreciated :)
. . . Just how much light does a cell phone throw out? This question was answered dramatically with this 20 second long exposure and only 5 seconds of cell phone light! I believe the glow above the tree line is from the town of Alden on Torch Lake.
Have a great week Facebook and Flickr friends!
Normally I aim to shoot everything in one photographic exposure but as a little experiment I've Photoshopped in a star trail shot from the previous night. The results look good to me but I will forever hang my head in shame at the thought that Photoshop is the work of Satan herself! (Kidding!)
It was an experiment and just after taking the picture, I thought that I would not show it. But after a second view at home, I decided to show it anyway. Just for the record, it shows ICE 609 on the way from Hamburg to Berlin-Südkreuz, shortly before reaching Hamburg main station.
I started to fold the "Face_pattern" with elephant hide, just for an experiment to see how it would look like with this paper. To my surprise it didn't stay flat, but started to curl and in the middle a bowl arose (photo left).
I stopped folding and only made a few, already existing, creases stronger on the back (right photo), so it would maintain it's new shape even more.
13 different lightning strike photos from last night. Combined in CS4, auto align (both horz & vertical at different focal lengths) smart object, maximize, and this was the result of the experiment.
Experimenting with reflections in bubbles today. I am supposed to be getting glycerin to make my bubbles last longer which hopefully will help improve my images. I really liked the rainbow colors and the flag together. The process is very cumbersome and taxing, blow a bubble, and hope it doesn't pop, try to focus, hold the flag, start over again and again. It's a nice way to stay busy and keep the crazy world out of my head for a while. What is occupying your mind and taking your attention?
this evening i experimented with the home cooked tamarind flic.kr/p/2rWMr3r in some leftover chicken curry which was served alongside salad, pickled beetroot, jacket potatoes topped with grilled extra mature cheddar cheese and a serving of plum butter

plum butter flic.kr/p/2rSW27c
pickled beetroot flic.kr/p/2rSUeu8
a teaspoonful of tamarind and a sprinkling of sugar to balance the acidity of the tamarind was added to the leftover chicken curry and gently stirred. next time i won't add any sugar as the plum butter also on the plate contains plenty of sugar. i could taste the tamarind and didn't dislike it. during the week i'll attempt a recipe that recommends using tamarind. it's all trial and error :)

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...
i've created a group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...
I've joined a local Camera Club which has a separate 'digital' group for those who are interested in software. Last week we were shown how to distort images using the 'Polar Coordinate' option in PhotoShop.
This is the treatment on the swimming pool shot I took a while ago. Viewed large you can see detail more easily.
AUF DER SUCHE NACH MÖGLICHKEITEN,
MÖGLICHES FESTZUHALTEN (Heinz Gasper 1980)
Als gebürtiger Düsseldorfer hat es mich schon sehr früh in die Ferne gezogen. Frankfurt, München, Wien, Graz und seit 1999 wohnhaft in Jennersdorf, im wunderschönen Südburgenland.
Im ausgeübten Beruf als Werbegestalter und Grafiker (1966-1992) aber auch in der Selbständigkeit (bis 2012) ist die bildende Kunst immer allgegenwärtig gewesen.
Meine Leidenschaft sind Experimente mit verschiedenen Hilfsmitteln und Materialien wie zum Beispiel:
Kurzfilme mit und ohne Kamera - Kodak-Sofortbilder ganz ohne Kamera - Negativstreifen und Dias anders gesehen - PC-Fehler zur kreativen Weiterverarbeitung verwenden - Digitalfotografie und ihre Möglichkeiten mit einem Apple-Computer kombinieren und verfeinern - und bis heute noch vieles mehr entdecken...
