Disappointingly, perhaps, this image is of a flintstone suspended on or better in a white foil of plastic. I added the colour in PP and turned the photo upside down. Would have been nice to see the Martian mountains myself.
Spent a day experimenting with light-painting with some friends on an acreage south of Calgary. That's the glow of the city lights in the distance.
Strobist Info:
30 second exposure at f/8
SB-800 with an SD-8A battery back fired multiple times (using the test button) from different heights and angles to light the tree and snow.
Shot with a Nikon 18-70 f/3.5-4.5 at 18mm on a D300.
I wanted to emphasize the colour of the low lying undregrowth in the boreal forest, so employed a tinting preset in Adobe Camera Raw to created this B&W/selected colour image.
Extreme overexposure on FP4. This was shot at f/16 for either two or four seconds. I've done this with a pinhole camera, but never with a real lens.
I used photoshop to bring out contrasts and get rid of a couple of dust specks, but the solarization effect is real.
Next time, I'm going to try cutting the normal development time in half.
Hydrangea is a common name for the genus Hydrangea from the Hydrangeaceae family. It mainly concerns evergreen and deciduous shrubs and climbing shrubs and a single tree. Together involves nearly 100 species growing in America and in China and Japan.
The crop is usually a striking inflorescence. Some species bloom with large, pyramidal panicle, the other with a flattened screen or a more globular inflorescence with many sterile, sterile florets. Aimed to attract the insects which then take care of the nectar in the fertile, fertile flowers in the middle of the inflorescence.
The most famous is the Garden hydrangea Hydrangea macrophylla. The many cultivars have pink, white, red or even (purple) blue inflorescences. The rise is the Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle', a cultivar with huge, spherical composite inflorescences, also known as snowball.
The plant is named after a woman, but it is not known with certainty which. It is often referred to Hortense de Beauharnais, daughter of Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais France, but who was not yet born when the crop around 1771. This name was provided by the botanist Philibert Commerson. It is suspected that the said Hortense was really Hortense de Nassau, daughter of Charles Henry Nicolaus Otto, Prince of Nassau-Siegen, who has taken part in an expedition around the world.
i've been doing some experiments with an enlarger lense attached to the kit lens. this is one of the resulting pictures.
Foxes - pink and blue. They are not as clear, the eyes aren't showing so well so will need to duplicate stitch them, tips of ears have also blended into the background.
I like the colours though.
So I got a couple new ND filters recently, a 6-stop and a 10-stop. I wanted to see how they would perform when stacked, and this is one of the results.
The good: the two filters together are really dark. This was a 25-second exposure at f/6.3 (ISO 400) taken under bright clouds.
The bad: the two filters together produced some funky and unexpected colors on the image, and worse, the colors were different in different parts of the image! So, frustrated with that, I cheated and made the whole image mono while processing.
But the filters did their job in turning the choppy waters of the lake almost glassy in the image. Some flow lines in the water are visible below the reflection of the bridge.
My takeaway: I don't need to stack the filters. The 10-stop ND should provide all the long-exposure opportunities I'll need.
Second experiment in my next post.
Marble Brewery, Downtown Albuquerque
I haven't been anywhere dressed for a while, mainly due to lockdown, but I have had the odd times when I've been experimenting with different foundation, powders etc.at home, for when I do eventually venture out again. I was trying out the "baking" technique under my eyes here with concealer, beauty blender and loose powder that is all the rage at the moment and followed a youtube tutorial. I'm not sure if its worth all the bother to be honest, I should probably just get some tear trough filler and botox, there is only so much makeup can do! It's my own hair here, plus a few clip in hair extensions for added volume
