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 ;)

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.
Experiment: If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
Esperimento: Se avessimo saputo cosa stavamo facendo non l'avremmo chiamata ricerca, giusto?

This is some useless experiment.
I used my old photographic enlarger and set it to display the smallest picture possible from a 35mm b&w negative, then I removed the lens from my Canon EOS 10D , with my eye still aiming through the viewfinder I aimed upward into the enlarger.
Technically I was using the lens of the enlarger. Since it was done by hand and since it wasn't very scientific you can see that it's a bit more blurry on the left of the picture than on the right, but only if you enlarge it.
Even at its smallest the picture was still about twice as big as my CCD so it's a forced crop of my original picture.
I used gimp to revert/adjust/convert the colors
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.

Today's @dailyshoot topic gave me an excuse to spend a not inconsiderable amount of time playing with my new camera, my iPhone, and some glasses.
This first (selected shot) is one of the best looking "attempts" at manually setting exposure, aperture, ISO, blah, blah, blah (there are a lot of buttons!) and although it isn't what I was trying for, I kind of like this one. I guess it's a bit dark and kind of sepia-looking, but that's the way it came out of the camera. It's got kind of an old-fashioned, smokey-bar look to it.
You can also see a later shot (closer subject, for better control over the lighting), as well as see and hear a demo movie that illustrates how each tumbler acts differently in amplifying the audio from the iPhone. You can do a similar experiment at your home with your own glasses to find your optimal iPhone Audio Amplifier. Despite what might be recorded at the camera's microphone, the Black Bush Irish Whiskey glass in the centre best amplified the sound for general listening in the room.

This was a picture I managed to take of our friend's dog right before he was taken to be put to sleep, so it actually has a lot of emotion behind it. What I like about the lighting here is that it shines a light of comfort and peace on him when he is so soon to be passing on.
This is related to my previous community piece because for one, they are both pictures of dogs, which may seem weird for a community, but I decided it could represent a community because dogs of all shapes, sizes, purposes, and breeds are known throughout the world by all kinds of people, so it's really a global community of dogs and their people. Accepting what makes every breed unique might help us to do the same thing with people.
Technically speaking:
The camera automatically used medium aperture. ISO 400 created a considerable amount of noise but it cancels out because the light falling on the dog only draws focus from a fuzzy background.
Welke onderwerpen doen het goed in Zwart-Wit?
Het 'bevriezen' van snelstromend water leek mij wel een geschikt onderwerp voor Zwart-Wit.
Benieuwd of fotografen hierop willen reageren...en hoe het resultaat wordt beoordeeld.
Wil je reageren?...wees gerust kritisch!
More experimenting in 'Jainbow-land'!! I'm a bit scared of Photoshop, but there was a useful free CD with a mag, which gave hints on how to colour a black and white image by hand! I didn't have a cute little toddler like the example in the mag, so I had to use Tim's photo instead - lol!

One of my first "paintings" with Brushes. Using a limited palette and the eyedropper tool, then seeing how it worked with the opacity and the different brush styles.
