On our way to Guise Bay we stopped at Experiment Bight to take some photos. The beach here was amazing. There were lots of shells and the sand was really soft and warm.
some macro experiments with black and white film.
number 33 is a pin head, i could fill the frame with an object about 5mm in length from about 2 feet away! using a bellows, 250mm lens, and a 2x teleconverter.
should i get some single vesions and upload them? which number?
I decided to experiment with using my telescope as a lens. The telescope has a diameter of 90mm and a focal length of 1250mm. It is a catadioptric (mirror lens) meaning it is short, light and relatively easy to carry. Like all mirror lenses, it is soft on focus and muted in colours which is a compromise, however it makes for interesting post-edits. I went back to the river (Bulimba side) and photographed a crane over at Newstead.
I was hoping for the orange sunset sky, but it was noticeable absent today.
None of the images has been cropped.
My share of Photos from the MP3-Experiment Eight.
Thanks to Improv Everywhere for organizing this, it was awesome!
Long exposure shot, taken by me, and then the SB-600 up and to the left popped by David. Terrible model, but the shot worked out ok... except for the lights melting my face...
The experiment was to see which type of vinegar gave the greatest reaction with baking soda. Turns out the aromatic (balsamic) vinegar was the strongest reaction!
Experiment was built by Stephenson as an 0-4-0 but was converted to an 0-6-0 at the suggestion of Timothy Hackworth. This is what it might have looked like in 1828/9 after a drawing by Raistrick. The men called it "Elbows" after its unusual rocking motion but it was not a success and was rebuilt as a vertical cylinder locomotive in 1830.
Little Strobist experiment catching water drops freezing motion with the strobes.....

I went to an exhibition of the work of Gary Fabian Miller at The Abbot Hall Art Gallery, Kendal and thought I could have a go at something arty? Each panel is from the sun in image www.flickr.com/photos/8662878@N02/2827717582 and the idea is a bit of pinch from Wassily Kandinsky.
i'm doing nahcotta gallery's enormous tiny art show (where images have to be 10" or less) in september...this is a new twist on my paper collages...blogged
Experiments with symbols. I like the way the head hangs in space. (a bit Fido Dido-ish I admit)

An experiment in nighttime photography. Taken from my familys summer house in Sweden - on an island in the Baltic Sea. The orange light is reflections from nearby towns.

Percentage of participants within one standard deviation of the
global maximum (best solution) on each round of a problem-solving task
for which there were two versions (Mason, Jones, & Goldstone, 2005).
Groups of participants guessed numbers between 0 and 100 using Internetconnected
computers; each of the participants’ computers then showed
them the points earned by their own and others’ guesses, based upon a
hidden scoring function that had either a simple single-peaked (singlepeaked
problem space) or complex triple-peaked (triple-peaked problem
space) form. In the fully connected network, everybody could see each
other’s guesses and outcomes. In the random network, participants only
had access to a set of randomly determined neighbors. In the locally connected
network, participants were informationally connected only to their
close neighbors. The small-world network also preserved local neighborhoods
but additionally had a few distant ‘‘short-cut’’ connections that
bridged different local regions. For the one-peaked problem, the best
group performance was initially found for the fully connected network.
For the triple-peaked problem, the best performance was initially found
for the small-world network.
