I'm happy with the composition apart from maybe the distracting trees? Any comments would be greatly appreciated :-)
Eine kleine Spielerei vom Wochenende.
Angeregt durch die Chip Foto-Video 12/2013, wollte ich das Experiment ausprobieren. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. Man benötigt einen Metallquirl (aus der Küche), ein Stück Schnur (1,5 m) und Stahlwolle "000" aus dem Baumarkt. Die Schnur wird an dem Quirl befestigt, in den Quirl stopft man lose die Stahlwolle und los geht es. Die Kameraeinstellung findet Ihr in den Exif-Daten. Ich habe meinen Selbstauslöser (10 s) benutzt, die Zeit reicht gut, die Stahlwolle mit einem Feuerzeug anzuzünden und alles in kreisende Bewegung zu versetzen. Es macht Spaß, Erfolg garantiert!!!!
As I moved the slider along to change the hue and saturation, I noticed that at the pace it changes it creates an effect of different colours. And so I print screened them and these are my results..
An experiment with pixel shifting and focus stacking. The question to address was whether or not pixel shifting was a substitute method for focus stacking. It is not as it has no effect on focal plane or depth of field. Rather, it is a method of increasing the resolution of an image by making minute shifts of the sensor in the focal plane. This increases the image size of the composite created in camera and reduces sensor noise. Pixel shifting can, however, be combined with focus stacking to produce a very high resolution macro, allowing for a much larger print. The effects are much more subtle when viewed on a screen.
Focus stack (20 images) with pixel shift (8 half pixel shifts/focal point). Shot with single continuous light source (Rotolight Neo 1 with diffuser filter), 100% power 5700 K, mounted on overhead boom directly over subject. Image size (raw) 16736 x 11163, print size 69 x 46 inches

Okay, so this is an experiment combined with an 'I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep' state of an image. But I actually quite liked where it stood, in its weird sort of blendly forest present state. So I decided to let it just remain like that instead of staying awake...day 18, yay!
An experiment with ICM (Intentional Camera Movement), this won't appeal to many as a railway photograph, I mean it's all out of focus and looks a mess, but it does have some appeal to me.
This is just an experimental shot and process which in all honesty I didn't think anything would result, with the camera set on a longish exposure, I clicked and rotated the camera as the train approached, I did another when the train had passed, two images are straightened and merged in Photoshop with a multiply layer blend. There are no other Photoshop special effects.

I bought an eyeshadow palette thinking I’d convert it to a watercolor palette, but before washing out the eyeshadow paste and replacing it with tube watercolors, I thought I’d try doing a painting using the eyeshadow colors. They contain mica and are shiny. It doesn’t really show up in the scan. I mixed in some Chinese white watercolor paint to get the bright whites. Image is about 5.5x10 inches (25.5x14 cm).
I used the included "brush". It’s a stick with a small, soft, cheap brush on one end and a foam applicator on the other. I like the colors and soft look like pastel. A fun experiment for. $4.
Guess who's off sick?
Anyway, playing about with some filters I was given by a friend - this is a "soft spot" filter, which I guess is meant to give kind of the same effect as a lensbaby (ie only one part in focus, the rest blurred), but I was quite disappointed as the effect isn't very obvious, in fact it's pretty negligible...so I just thought I'd play about and whack on as much grain and noise on it as possible, hence me shooting at ISO 1600, plus adding extra in PS...anyway, I was trying to get some creepy shots of dolls (as you do) and I quite like how they came out...
La récolte des piments, enfin, après les avoir regardés pousser pendant des mois ! Je sais qu’il ne faut pas jouer avec la nourriture, mais après 6 mois quasiment sans aliments frais, on était tous très enthousiastes et ce n’est pas une photo spatiale si on ne fait pas flotter quelque chose. La dégustation a été très attentive par ailleurs, puisqu’on a pris des notes pour les chercheurs. Un grand bravo et mille mercis aux scientifiques et aux ingénieurs qui ont travaillé sur le projet : c’est très difficile de faire pousser des végétaux dans l’espace, et c’était le végétal le plus complexe jamais produit sur l’ISS… sans doute le plus pimenté aussi !!!
Pepper harvest! They say you shouldn't play with your food, but after six months with almost no fresh food, and living in weightlessness it is so hard not to be excited. We ate the peppers after watching them grow for months last Friday, and they were tasty… and a little bit hot 🌶🔥! A huge shout out and thank you to the researchers and engineers at NASA that made this possible, growing food in space is not easy, and was not even possible until a few years ago.

I had never heard the term Dutch Angle before, I probably would have described it as wonky. I have never set out to take a wonky picture before. I probably would have made the subject wonky if I thought it would help. So today was an interesting experiment.
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.

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!
I like to experiment fixing different dishes..... Vindaloo style cauliflower, curried mixed vegetables, dal, ( lentils) and palak alu dish ( potatoes and spinach in cream) some rotis
Camera toss. No Photoshop manipulations - only adjusting brightness

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'm really not sure about this picture and so I'd be massively grateful for your constructive comments. Does it work? Is it under-exposed? How would you improve it?
If you have a moment, I really would appreciate your thoughts as I feel I'm in completely new territory here...
Many thanks,
Tom.
Many thanks indeed to everyone who contributed to this really useful discussion - I found it immensely helpful. Thanks!
