Normally, I use aperture priority to take my images. On this day, I set up with plenty of sunlight on shutter priority with the intention of getting the hummingbird with frozen wings. The shot is darker than I like but the high shutter speed definitely worked on the wings,

 

This will be the last posting for me for a couple of weeks. My wife and I are going with my daughter and her family to Disney World in Orlando. Hopefully, I'll have a shot of Mickey Mouse to post upon our return.

An experiment with expired film

 

Shot on PC 400 (President's Choice), a supermarket branded film from The Real Canadian Superstore, unknown expiry, rated at ISO/ASA 100. The canister says product of the Netherlands, but from the DX code 005783, this appears to be Fujicolor Superia 400.

 

Since this roll of film was expired, I decided to experiment with the developing process, so I soaked or "souped" the film in orange pekoe tea with lemon for 14 hours before developing. By accident, I had not twisted and locked the developing tank all the way, so after the developer, the tank top came off as I was pouring out the water used to wash/stop the developer; however, I don't think this affected the outcome much.

 

I can see a bit of red in some shots, but all other colours were washed off. I might try again, even with fresh film, and less time in the soup, with possibly other "cooking" ingredients.

Texture shot I took that I did not submit the the group. Texture Runner Up. HMM.

Colors have been an existential crisis lately.

 

Lately I've been on a film emulation kick, and it feels like everything I touch ends up all filmulated, and way too trendy. I'm wondering if there's a way to buck this.

 

This photograph is somewhere in the middle. While I definitely shot for something a little more vintage, but at the same time I wanted an extreme effect.

 

I've been realizing the thing I love the most is innovation. I really want to do everything in a new way, even colors.

I've been looking into faux stained glass techniques - as much as I would love to learn the actual craft, the potential project simply doesn't have the budget to accommodate real stained glass. So here is a first attempt at mimicking at least the idea, getting used to to approach, and fine-tuning coloration and texture.

Hello Not Founders,

 

It’s time to take a trip down memory lane as I reflect on the early beginnings of Not Found. When I first embarked on this venture, I didn’t even know what name to introduce my products with, and thus, Not Found was born.

Even though it all started as an experiment (and the name as a joke lol), it has become a staple in your inventories. I cannot be more thankful for the support you have given my brand since 2017.

 

It began with me trying to make a little extra as an SL photographer. I learned so much that I decided to try my hand at creating skins. I wasn’t alone in this endeavor and have many to thank: Marco from Clef de Peau for allowing me to use his male tones, Uma from The Skinnery for allowing me to use her female tones, and Dave from Volkstone for his body skin template, which I used to create my first male body skin.

 

On March 27th, I announced that the male body was receiving a much-needed update. I wanted to offer something on par with the Hera body line, our new female body skin, and thus, Zeus was born. This project has taken months and many sleepless nights. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was this new body.

 

Today, I am happy to announce that the wait is finally over. Zeus is now available to NEW and CURRENT customers, offering the quality you have grown to love. The most realistic and versatile body skin is here to enhance your inventory.

 

The best news? If you own the 2.0 Male Body skin, the upgrade is COMPLETELY free. Simply visit our main store and perform a re-delivery. This is my way of thanking you for helping Not Found achieve the success I never imagined possible from this tiny experiment seven years ago.

  

Now for the fun part, we have teamed up with an amazing group to make this release even more successful. Please help me thank the following creators who have each crafted something stunning to help us introduce Zeus:

Love,

Not Found

This is my friend, Emily. We decided to purchase some confetti from Dollarama and experiment with it. Unfortunately, it was freezing (can't really tell from these pics LOL) so we didn't take pictures for too long :s Hoping for warm, spring weather some time this week so we can redo this experiment!

On the way to teach ,and suddenly --through my newly schooled eyes !! --noticed the side of the law faculty building--and decided to experiment again!

experimenting with a different hair color and look. How does it look ?

Not to be outdone by Nikon Nigel I present my heavily cropped slightly photoshopped splash experiment. I can take no credit for the set up and flash trigger that helped create this.

I received an Apexel clip-on macro lens for my smartphone for xmas, so I've been experimenting with it. It's a new sensation to get in to something so close and it'll take some getting used to, but it's a really fun new way to take photos.

... I downloaded this free texture a few days ago and forgot where I found it. If you recognize your texture... please tell me so I can give you the credits for it :-)

Right, some more experiments in B&W with the Cyber trio. I am completely undecided on which is best, all have their merits.
