4 x 5 inches on gessoed illustration board. I'm just playing around with gouache this afternoon. Too much a sissy to go out and paint on location, I worked from one of my old photos for reference...which brings me round to one of two quibbles: Painting from a photo leaves me a little cold; my colors feel too beholden to the photo, so shadows tend to be lifeless and dead. ...bringing me to quibble number two: black. Damn it all, I NEVER use black, and here's the reason why - it overwhelms everything else. I'd much rather build up shadows from mixtures of my primaries + green. I need to check and see if Holbein or WN makes a Perylene Green in gouache... it's my favorite mixer in watercolor.
Experiment time again. An old photo I took in August 2008 in Gamlingay, Cambridgeshire. This secene features the Church of St Mary the Virgin, and the Wheatsheaf public house. I have tried to make it look more old fashioned by adding some crease effects, any feedback welcome.
So I was sick the other week, severely sick.Whilst recovering and watching a dvd called "Das Experiment" - Wikipedia -
I was so overtaken by this movie, I was shouting at my tv and pacing up and down the room nervously wrenching my hands.
I had a sip of water.Then paused the dvd and shot something.It turned out to be the red leather couch and my blanket.
I don't know about this.
I'm out tonight, and this is all I can come up with. I'm in Landaaan tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have something better (:
This was part of a DIY macro experiment where I used magnifying glass on the end of the lens so I could still use my kit 18-105mm as my in camera lens.
The result is really outstanding, I think, for a simple cheap office utility.
If you find this interesting and try my idea, please tag it with #Macrocheat
Thank you.
Hope you like it!
My girlfriend gave me a Polaroid Snap camera for my birthday! It's an interesting mix of digital and analog technique. The camera saves a digital version of every shot on a memory card and prints one version on paper. Also, it's not really a "printer camera", since the development of the shot is, like in traditional Polaroid cameras, inside the paper itself. But instead of using chemicals (at least I think there are non involved) the paper uses some kind of crystals that takes on the colors of the shot.
The camera also has some handy features, like the choice of using a classic Polaroid frame or not and the choice of black&white, color and vintage color shots. Also, there is a photo booth feature that takes four shots in a row and prints them on the same paper!
It might not be as elaborate or fully interesting as the classic instant films, but it's surely more convenient and a lot cheaper (about a third of the price per shot). These are some of my favorites from the first 20 papers I've used. I've chosen to scan the paper versions rather than uploading the digital versions, to preserve the colors and feeling from the pictures as I see them. There will probably be more to come.

A simple experiment with newly bought SB-900... :)
Location: Our Home, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Snap Date: Friday, 2nd July 2010
Moment: She got back from Budapest University recently and take a visit to our home to see my mom while watching FIFA Worldcup 2010, she was staring at TV but I didn't miss to do a portrait experiement with my Nikon D90, 85mm (f/1.4) Lens and Flash SB-900.

Here's an experiment... both in shooting and post-processing. Shot with available light only... and 'worked' to get a bit of a mixed photograph/painterly feel to it. Also the first time I used Photomatix software to create an HDR original to start from... for those of you who are into that level of 'geek'! =)
Getting this far with the image has opened up a few ideas for where I will ultimately take it for the actual project it is intended for... again... starting over from the beginning.
Learning by doing! Old dog, new tricks! More than meets the eye! Choose your cliché.. they all apply.

I had the idea to use My Leitz Colorplan CF 90mm f/2.5 projector lens on my Minotla X500 ! The adaptation process was pretty straightforward, When I bought the lens, it came with a 3D printed adapter with a M58 thread and a thin M58/M42 helicoid adapter. The New M42 thread has a perfect M42 flange distance so From there I only needed an M42/MD adapter to use it on the X500 !
Focusing with the M58/M42 adapter is pretty easy and the focusing screen in the X500 viewfinder works perfectly !
I'm pleased with the sharpness and colors on this lens with a Kodak Gold 200 film roll !
Shot my first roll (of three) of Kodak CIR Colour Infrared negative film. Bronica ETRSi with a Deep Yellow filter.
Both of my kids helped me get this one :) They had fun moving the light and my 6-year-old's face to help get a better lighting situation.
Experimenting with a bright flashlight to do light painting this morning using the new Canon 6D, before sunrise, at home, at the Golden Gate, and the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, USA. I'm not impressed, could've taken these easily with a cheaper camera. My guest bedroom in the far end had lights on, I used the flashlight to illuminate the corridor.
The way only the centre and the edges are touched with colour, it seem nature was still undecided whether or not to colour it!!
Pl. view Large!!
Glass tubing equipped with electrodes is evacuated by a vacuum pump (3 inches of mercury), a high voltage from antique spark coil is applied (approximately 1700 volts), forming a low-energy plasma, and then the effect of a strong magnetic field from an electromagnet, modified from an iron-core transformer core carrying much direct current (about 6 amps), is observed in darkened room.
Constriction of the pale violet-colored low-energy plasma within the magnetic field was observed and photographed as part of a science project.
Plasma = fourth state of matter
Similar experiments were performed by Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) with alternating current in the late 1880s except using much higher voltages at extremely high frequencies.
