Trying different focal points, aperture settings and light reflections. I think this one came out best!
My Project 52 on trying new things is over but that doesn't mean I am not experimenting. First real try with the Ring of Fire
Taking a break from the snow pictures for a while ("a while" in this case probably defined as 24 hours), and encouraged by the -20F temperatures, I decided to try a scientific experiment. Most of us know the effect of garlic on vampires, right? And many of us frequently tie cloves of this aromatic allium around our windows. I always wear a necklace of fresh garlic to repel these creatures as well as to attract the local beauties. (It seems less effective in achieving the later, but that's a different experiment with different variables.) But how many know the results of vampires on garlic? Not many, thought I. Everyone knows that the vampires run (or fly) away, shielding themselves with their capes from the effects, but I don't recall one instance of anyone checking to see how the garlic made out after these confrontations. Poor follow-up, it seems to me. So knowing vampires to be in the vicinity, I placed a clove on a plate to see what would ensue. Remarkably, as you can see, not only did vampiric symbols suddenly appear on the plate in the form of black eyes and long pointed teeth but the garlic sprouted as if given new life.
"Hmmm," said I, in empirical fashion, "I wonder if this means that this particular clove of garlic will have eternal life? And is it possible that the existence of garlic is only due to the presence of vampires? Do I need to do a representative sampling of garlic cloves asking how old they are and hope they don't lie? And if vampires, and thus garlic, disappeared, what would celebrity chefs do? Would they vanish, too?" (One can only hope...)
So many questions but, on this subject, an eternity to discover the answers. In the meantime, I'll be keeping my mind and eyes open for other fascinating areas of investigation and discovery providing insight and enlightenment to share with you, my loyal followers. Since garlic also repels mosquitos and mosquitos are bloodsuckers as well, I'm seriously beginning to have many questions about this bulb and its historical relationships. But all experiments of an insectivorous nature, fortunately, will need wait until summer.
Just experimenting a bit .....
I took a photo of this blackbird and a photo of the pear with snail, and combined them. Textures, thanks to Jerry Jones. One texture from Kim Klassen, thanks!
I wanted to experiment long exposure this morning while there was enough wind to shake the baltic sea relatively quiet a couple of days ago.
Pentax DA 16-85 with Hoya Filter ND x1000 (10 stops)
Iso 100 - f/16 - 16mm - 15 s
an experiment, thanks to Prairie for the inspiration, shot from the screen on my iphone, I like the handheld feel.
I was making more batches of Chicken, Chick Pea and Pumpkin curry earlier today. An experiment this time was adding some diced Hachiya persimmon fruit.......
Today I experimented with putting an iPad behind the bubble solution to color the background of the bubble. You can see I still used my flash with a diffuser attached creating the large white hotspot in the bubble. The background was displaying the photo booth app with the thermal camera selected. I'll post the background image on my Instagram story. I still haven't gotten the "perfect" bubble shot so I am going to keep working.
Two rings i just made, to see whats possible to do.
Please no critics, i know they are far from perfect, but the best i could do without any machines.
I was experimenting this past weekend with the Bluebirds and some holly branches with berries......haven't got it quite right but getting closer and closer. They are amazingly tolerant of people and props...... When I got home from work yesterday, I was told that the Robins had eaten most of the berries!!
Some more experimenting with ND filters and trying to process them to the way I would like, that's the hard part.
Even if they fail you can learn something,experiments with coffee and graphite on paper
wish You all a nice day.
