Burnham-on-Sea, UK, May 2000.

I've always admired the color and shapes of orchids, and for me, they make an interesting subject.

 

I place a YN560 in a 24 inch softbox cameral left at 9 o'clock and a YN560-II in identical softbox camera right at 3 o'clock for even lighting and then handheld a Strobie 130 fitted with a grid behind the flower at 11 o'clock for a little backlighting. All strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

 

Other plants, flowers, or fruit that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

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..!

an out-take from some time in the last year. I have no idea who this is. I've explored and shot photos with many cool people in the last few years. Normally when processing and clearing out files one might say " WTF is this person doing in my shot?"...and just delete... But not today. I actually liked the sense of solitude and walking into the void

 

What an odd thing to do. Wandering into abandoned buildings and taking photos. Smelling mold and decay, Hazards everywhere. At face value, it's a really stupid thing to do. Not exactly safe, even if we do try to be as safe as we can. People have and will continue to get injured and killed doing this. Not exactly legal either, as many have learned the hard way.

But there is a draw that I cannot describe with words. A feeling unlike anything I've ever experienced. Breaking the barrier from outside, to inside. Turning a corner and facing the prospect of a long hallway and not knowing if you are alone. Feeling the presence of the factory workers that walked these hallways a century ago. The pride that still remains in these abandoned structures that built the American dream. The rush is incredible. Those who know what I am talking about get it. Those that don't get it will never get it.

How much is enough? I have no idea. Last year crawling 100 yards through a frozen tunnel on a disintegrating conveyor belt while busting into an abandoned warehouse, I thought to myself, what the Hell are you doing man? At the same time I thought, Wow, this is awesome. What a thrill. I love this. It's part of who I am now.

 

and so here, the urban explorer. Saddled with gear. Walking into the black. An adventure inadvertently captured in mid sentence.

#193 :O !

thanks flickr :D

sooc,

so when we were raking today we had to fill the trailer woth leaves, and this little flower was in there all alone with a bunch of leaves.

poor flower. ):

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 ...

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!

After visiting an art exhibition at Studio 36 in Exeter yesterday I took a few photos of sculptures in the garden following a torrential downpour.
