A photoshop experiment where I was just open-ended with the direction and then it kind of took shape into this Instagram looking thing...oh well.
Experimenting with my camera and what sort of shots i can get. Really trying to get the perfect photo with my limited experience
2nd round / Fullspectrum Experiments:
More pictures! These are from the same last outing yesterday with the same camera, lens and filter setup. Here I applied „proper“ white balance (on the birches bark, simply) and look what I got. Again it's that almost velvia like green and high saturation over all. Actually this is what I found using UV-IR cut filters on this camera some time ago. I already experimentet with this - for some reason I need a diffusor, else I get some strange color artifacts on the edges. I don't know the physics really, but possibly it acts like an AA Filter? Anyway, this „film simulation“ is nice. When adding this Tiffen 812 like warming filter, blue gets subtle, too.
Exposure adjusted in RAW.
Very simple lighting setup - single SB600 flash mounted on second tripod in front of sitter and at an angle to camera. Flash fired remotely using Nikon CLS.
White walls behind, but no further reflectors etc.
From the set taken at one of my first portrait sessions. We set out to try and take an 'environmental portrait', but I think it might well be closer to a 'studio shoot in someone's flat' instead.
Any comments gratefully received.
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
Chris had applied latex over my lips, not knowing what to expect. When I opened my mouth...well...he learned that perhaps I should keep my mouth open a bit when he's working on the lips
Experimenting with water colour staining applied to Bragdon Enterprise rock moulds, a little way to go to improve the technique yet...
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.
IMG_1186 - Only have a selection of 52 & 55mm filters so sticking them on to the Cokin using a lens adaptor round the wrong way, just to see, liked the angle on this and although the framing is slightly out still makes me smile.
