15/365.

 

This is not a very flattering image of me. :) My wife told me I need to do some of her girly cleansing things on my face. In my defense, I had been working all day up to the point when I came home and took this photo. We both still liked how it came out, so I posted it.

 

I have been trying to work with my SB600 flash. I do not fully understand how to use my flash correctly. So, I am setting it up all over the room trying to see how it looks from different angles. After being frustrated and having nothing come out the way I wanted it to, I put the flash back on the camera. This shot was taken with the SB600 pointed directly at me and a Lumiquest mini softbox on the flash to soften it a bit.

My friend Michael Naimark is exploring new ideas for virtual reality experiences, in collaboration with Google and other researchers. To discuss this work, we got together with two other colleagues, Steve Gano and Jim McKee -- with whom we worked at the Apple Multimedia Lab in the eighties, pushing the envelope on related questions.

 

We started with a tour of the historic Sentinel Building in North Beach, home of American Zoetrope -- where Francis Coppola worked on many cinematic masterpieces like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. We checked out the underground screening room and sound mixing room where some of that work took place, then headed upstairs to Michael and Jim’s studios, for a wonderful conversation about the new VR frontier.

 

Michael and his colleagues are researching how people are represented in virtual reality. Their first experiment at Google’s “Big Chairs” Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.

 

They’re also investigating ‘hyper-images’ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both ‘credible’ and ‘incredible’ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing ‘IMU VR’, a new type of camera that could make it easier for communities to tell their stories in VR. More on this later.

 

It was great to reconnect with my colleagues and brainstorm these ideas together. It felt like the good old days, and the creative juices were flowing all over again ...

Pulicat lake bird sanctuary is a saline backwater lake lying along the T.N.-A.P coast; part extending to Chengalpattu district of T.N. It has an area of 481 sq.KM and it is the 2nd largest brackish water lagoon in India after Chilka lake in Orissa. The area on the TN side is 153.67 sq.km.

The Pulicat sanctuary is drained by Arni river while the Buckingham canal brings in the city’s drainage water. At the southern end is an opening on to Bay of Bengal through a shallow mouth of 200 m in width. The rest of the lake is closed by a sand bar running parallel to the Bay of Bengal in the form of the Sriharikota island.

The sanctuary has an area of 321 Sq. KM with 108 sq.KM of National Park area.

It lies within 11o 30’ N to 11o 42’ N and 76o 30’ E to 76o 45’ E.

Rainfall ranges from 800 - 2000mm. Temperature varies from 14o C to 33o C.

Altitude ranges from 100’ MSL to 1200’ MSL.

The wetlands eco system are considered as among the richest areas of bio diversity. Pulicat, by virtue of the mixing of fresh water with sea water is found to be an ideal habitat for diverse life-forms. 160 species of fish, 25 species of polychaete worms, 12 species of prawn, 19 species of mollusk and 100 speceis of birds are well documented apart from a number of other aquatic flora and fauna.

 

Among the most spectacular is the flamingo-a tall gaunt, white-coloured bird with a touch of pink on the wings, pink beak and legs, seen feeding in shallow water. The squat, large-billed grey pelican with gular pouch and a number of ducks are commonly seen. Flocks of sea gulls and terns circling in the sky or bobbing up and down on the water are an added attraction at pulicat. Besides, there are a number of waterside birds and waders such as curlews, stilts, plovers, sand pipers, lapwings, redshank. Egrets, herons, kites etc. are some other birds found here. The lake is also home to crabs, clams, mussels, oysters, snails, fish worms, insects, spiders, sponges, anemone, prawns, plankton and so on including rare endemic species like gilled leech, an unidentified bloodred fish, etc., Rapid siltation has caused loss of bio diversity. It is seen that mangrove opllen is found on Sriharikota Island indicating their existence some years back. Loss of mangroves may be one of the resons hastening siltation, reducing biodiversity and hence depriving fisherfolk of their livelihood.

Revisited.

 

The Amaze X storm drain has another name which is way to obvious as to where it is. So we created a new one. And plus it is maze like with many off shoots. We explored a couple of them and found some treasure..!

Walking home at 4:30am after a pleasant but unsuccessful attempt at photographing shooting stars, I cam across several pieces of heavy Earth moving equipment illuminated by a streetlight (They are doing sewer work in my area) so I snapped a few shots. I like the eerie feel of it. I have a couple other shots of this stuff on my Facebook photography page: www.facebook.com/pages/Brad-Worrell-Photography/202199629...

I ruined my reflection glass :'( but small sacrifices must be made!

 

Wondering how to take highspeed photos? The technique used for this kind of images is described in lesson 3 (freeze the motion with your flash) of my highspeed photography 101.

 

In Lektion 3 (Einfrieren von Bewegung mit dem Blitz) erklaere ich, wie man solche Highspeed Bilder erstellt.

Thanks so much for my fourteenth EXPLORE! May 3, Highest #131

 

This shot was taken on the same day as Reaching (my last upload). This fence is located on a lane going to a Heritage Farm just a mile from us (which is a little tourist attraction), it was such a gorgeous day and the leaves of the trees were littered all along the fence, caught up in the wind. My first instinct was to pull out my Macro Lens (it always is as I adore it), however I pushed against this and went for my new Canon EF 50mm ƒ/1.4 lens. I cannot put into words how much I love this bokeh magnet! HFF!

 

Undertaking this Project 52 has been one of the best things I've ever done. It's helping me grow, learn and develop as a photographer and I'm excited to see what each day brings...

I don't know which one I'm keeping,

I had like twenty to pick from and I hate that because I like all of them haha.

I'd like to apologize about how bright it is in the back,

and if your eyes are bleeding again I'm very sorry.

 

SO hahaha sorry but today I was falling in my bathroom and I grabbed on to the towel rack and pulled one side of it out of the wall... haha, I mean really now... it's like when I'm trying to save myself from dying I break something else,

my mom was like "WHY IS THIS FUNNY TO YOU?! I CAN'T FIX THIS."

Oh goodness.

 

OH and I have something on my sensor,

so when my dad comes home I gotta get that off,

I'm too afraid to do it myself,

 

and Regina Spektor's new CD is so amazing,

my friend told me about it and thank goodness she did because I've been listening to it non-stop.

I just want to say that I think half my flickr is pictures of me,

uhm I'm really sorry about that haha,

I just feel like self-portrait photography is sometimes easiest for me.

I hope you don't mind.

Tricky but addictive, nice to be able to do something pretty in the kitchen sink! Not my best droplet shot [IMHO] but it reached #221 on Explore! Thank you for your interest and kind comments!

Explore # 127, December 31, 2008. My 25th of the year. Thanks to my flickr friends:)

This shot revisits some of my personal favourites. The look down, the footprints in fresh snow and the snow covered bushes. The shadows are an additional bonus! Ive changed this to black and white by draining the colour. Not sure if there is a better way to do this change:)

The tulips seemed to grow overnight after a wicked winter!
