Experimenting with new Laowa lens - a circular fisheye: www.laowalens.co.uk/laowa-4mm-f28-circular-fisheye-lens-m.... This has over 180 deg field of view - the fingers holding the camera often get in-shot! One tends to crop to a clean circle in post proc....
Today we all got together to make sloe products. This years experiments involve gin, vodka, white rum, raspberrys, lemons and different types and quantitys of sugar.
We will then get together one evening in the new year for a blind tasting session and vote for a winner.
Next Fullspectrum Experiment.
I think this will be the last one for now. It's basically the same thing, I did before, but now eith a B+W #081 filter. This cyan-blue filter is also a technical filter and it blocks IR. But it seems to me not as much as the 470 filter I used before. On some photos you can see the pale green typical if shooting foilage with an unfiltered fullspectrum camera. Others show perfect greens. I cannot explain, probably different overlapping effects or a strange transmission curve.
Other than that I get nice colors, but as the filter is very ācoldā WB of course pretty extreme.
I now tried everything I wanted to -- now I should think what I do with this, actual pictures I mean, no experiments. If only I got an decent idea. Well, usually usages come up at some point, when you don't think too much, so I'm confident.
I've always been a Kodachrome-type guy. Gimmie my nice bright colors. But photography is about light, and the traditional belief is that by removing color from the equation, you can work on just the light. And I need that practice, so I've been shooting in the in-camera monochrome settings...
It was the first time I tried my hand at this kind of shot. We had to put the camera down on the belt and experiment with different shutterspeeds.
A quick experiment in which I was literally playing with idea of a Self constructed by a global network of others. I uploaded a series of my profile pictures from various social networks to Mechanical Turk and paid workers to write a short description, or bio, based on the photograph.
So i went out to the bar with a little social experiment. Walk in and hand out a few disposable cameras, then collect them when they are empty. Here are the results. I just thought was wondering what i would find on these rolls of film. I think one of the most rewarding thing about it was just watching all these people interacting and be willing to have their pictures taken with random strangers, by random strangers.
Tried this digital slit photography technique.. This was just a quick test.. a bubble floating by.. will have to try again with a short video shot with this technique in mind.. After converting a short section of the video to individual frames with quicktime pro, i was able to crop one vertical column of pixels out of each individual frame using 'paint shop pro', which has a batch processing feature.. Pasting each column of pixels to make the new image is quite time consuming.. for a large image, i can see working with over 1000 cut and pastes. This one was only about 50.
