Experimenting a bit with the headshot, didn't quite get the desired look, but the photo still came out quite well.
Tiny little lenses that fit on an iPhone ...and that are fun to play with!! :)
Being the gadget addict I am , I bought a set of these three lenses ..and today tried them out. The macro is featured, with one fish eye .
Interesting , but fastening and fine tuning is very fiddly for fat fingers :D
This is my cousin here in the foreground.
She´s in a band called The Gang and they are from New York.
This is a first time for me to photograph a gig and I was playing around with long exposures, second curtain flash and zooming the lens out whilst the shutter was open.
The gig took place in Cafe Amsterdam in Reykjavik.
Experiment met het dompelen van vruchtjes in de porseleingietklei. Hier is nog gewone porselein gietklei gebruikt, en die breekt een beetje bij het drogen (omdat de vruchtjes niet meekrimpen.) Wellicht dat het met papier-porseleingietklei beter zal gaan.
NASA's forward osmosis water filtration experiment flying aboard space shuttle Atlantis. It purifies contaminated water using a sugary electrolyte solution.
This is the famous pitch drop experiment at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. It's been "dripping" for about 100 years.
Experimenting with camera settings (exposure, this time...) and converting a few vinyl singles to digital while I was at.
One more Fullspectrum Experiment:
I try to make the best of these days with the same subjects over and over again ... And I'm lucky I have a lot of things to do on my list: It's almost 2 years ago I got some rather strange IR-block filters.
Here I used the B+W #470. It's a blue-greenisch color, pretty dark. It's actually a technical filter, to be honest I didn't understand what exactly it was used for (maybe 40 years ago?), but I understand it blocks IR. On the Fullspectrum camera it's always easy to check this: If you see green more or less normally, IR is more or less blocked.
I needed to custom white balance there photos, again simply on the birches bark. A litte tweaking was necessary. What I get are very rich greens. Magenta comes bold, also, red is more subdued here, but it's not absent. I like the colors quite a bit, I tried to get away from a too extreme rendering, but still the cooler tones are somewhat dominant (or is it just me imagine that?)
I only used this one filter on a Minolta 70-210/4 (the manual focus variant of the famous beercan) and used it wide open (the filter needs a lot of light) and at it's minimum focus distance. Not too bad for an old zoom wide open!
