Another busy day!!!
Our Science Surfers experiments are always astonishing
and kids were indeed surprised with density tower they made today.
They also enjoyed collaging the UAE national flag craft.
Basketball during their outdoor play was awesome.
Kids enjoyed circle time reviewing numbers and Phonics.
They acted as mail carriers delivering White Fields mails during pretend play.
They were very surprised to see how Pepsi drink exploded after adding baking soda during the science experiment.
It was a great day for us at White fields Nursery.

Experimenting with some new lighting.... 580EX as fill in, handheld, and a snoot on top. Didn't work as planned, but gave me some ideas on how to work.
PS: YES, I ate those with cheap red wine ;)
am trying out a free one month demo of Topaz black and white filters; the difficulty lies in not overdoing the effects; something that I see more and more of in the daily press. this one is a bit overcooked.

Photo of a fish net called Mahal Jaal,
A little experiment by me using different software, my intention to make it look like a painting. — in Bara Kathaldia, Bangladesh.
Experiment: cropping photos in a triangle, with a duotone which in my opinion matches the setting and composition of the photo.
For my next step in this experiment I'd like to make prints, cut out the triangle, and glue them to foamboard.
Trees etc. / Fullspectrum Experiment:
I know, I should not post so many pictures at one time, this reduces the chance anyone looks at anything but the first. But ... well, I can't help it.
I carried the fullspectrum camera with me today, and stacked 3 filters on top of the Minolta 50-135/3.5 lens: A UV-IR Cut, a warming filter and an UltraContrast 0.5. This way I got RAWs with almost no blue, a lot of warm tones and muted greens. I did some digital post processing, but the basic „color grading“ was done while I took the photos, thus analog.
Possibly this is dumb artsy talk, but I find many of these have a certain „presence" that is hard to explain. The lens was used wide open, mostly.
Along this track that I walk so often right now there's little more than trees and what you see here, so I need to make something out of that. I think this little series showed me again, there is potential and birch trees are always the photographers best friends.
First Bokeh attempt. Learnt from Ravages. Hopefully this qualifies.
This is a pic of a table mat. I was just toying around with the focus when I saw this view. I remembered what Ravages had told me. Silky out of focus look, short DOF... and deceided to click this one. I think this qualifies for a Bokeh, I do not know. Kindly enlighten. Thanks in advance.
I've been studying rock and other natural surfaces for a long time. I try to produce a "random" style in my shapes and their surfaces, and this series seems to show that I've accomplished what I'm after. The "beauty" of these pieces is perhaps up to debate, but I think at least I've accomplished an effect that transcends the human touch. There is little evidence here of "my" work or my imposition of form or surface on the natural ingredients.
Terracotta heavily impregnated with fireplace ash and pine needles (some long grasses too) gave this the pinkish color that I call "paleoltihic"...it reminds me of a cave painting.
After bisque firing (the only time this was in the kiln) I crumbled up a piece of newspaper and "sanded" off the kind of obnoxious bits of ceramicized grass. But as you can see in some of the closeups, the pine needles (and some pine twigs too) left gorgeous striations.
This piece is about 14 inches tall.
I was experimenting with this little spotlight and I thought it would be nice to share some of the results. Sometimes I feel a bit vain doing things like this, but using my own face is so much easier and more comfortable. I wonder if there are more people who (sometimes) feel vain when photographing themselves?
