This photo: This was my fourth photo ever posted to flickr, originally taken and then posted July 10, 2011 (www.flickr.com/photos/bogostick/7651238394/in/dateposted/). Here we see my one and only Poppy (at the time) Beatnik Blues looking through a rack of merchandise at her mod boutique, Penny Lane. I've recently bought new foamcore to rebuild the frame of her shop, since this original structure is showing much wear and tear from storage. Hopefully, Poppy and friends will have a place to work and shop at again soon!
Nikon SB800 through a small diffuser umbrella on a light stand at 04:00 as main light. White foamcore sheet at 10:00 for fill.

Macro Mondays: "Desk"
A few of the pens from my desk. Lit by bouncing a constant LED off a white foamcore board. Converted to black & white.
The image is about 6.35 cm (2.5 inches) on the long edge.
She actually went as a ladybug for Halloween, but I had this idea a couple of days ago and couldn't resist getting it done in time for the last day of 'roid week.
Her previous Polaroid experience is here.

This dio was almost entirely DIY.
The desk is foamcore, a painted straw and a painted skewer.
The shelf is wood and paint, etc
I'm probably going to be selling the paint cans and artist's palette soon in my etsy store, you can check out what else I have to offer @ www.etsy.com/ca/shop/PoppysPetites
Found freshly dead of unknown cause on my driveway.

#MacroMondays #Wrapping
The end of "silvered" Christmas wrapping tape, wrapped around the edge of foamcore board... the roll in the background making for some interesting bokeh.
Subject lit up by a chinese rotating multiple colored "christmas" light, the one you shine on your house from your front garden...if you know what I mean.

An ecologically friendly portrait of myself on a piece of foamcore that I am holding. A bit meta perhaps?
before the dawn,
the sea a whisper,
its pull profound,
my rest complete,
thus I linger,
in harmony,

Strobist: AB1600 in a Buff beauty dish, socked, camera left. I also had a speedlight in a small softbox CL which I used to create the catchlight in my eyes. A foamcore board was used as a flag at CL to keep the light off my ear.
This is a drop of milk hitting a small amount of additional milk colored with food coloring. The surface is a piece of plexiglass over a piece black foamcore. There are two bare flashes just out side the frame on either side of the splash, one an sb-800 and one an sb-28. The flashes are triggered with a Schmitt Photogate-Delay kit from hiviz.com. See the comments for a setup shot.
WIP shot of a terrain setup I am making, primarily to play Malifaux (http://www.wyrd-games.net/). I was just laying them out to see how much more I need to make, thought I would take a WIP shot. Malifaux needs a fair bit of terrain to keep things balanced between ranged and melee types. I figure I need about 5-6 more buildings plus a few more wall sections and some more crates etc to scatter around for cover.
The base is a couple of sheets of foamcore, hinged together with duck tape so it folds in half for easy storage. This has the basic stone tiling all over. The roads are then seperate bits of card stuck on with tiny bits of blutac, as are the buildings.
Its slightly narrower and longer than the "standard" 3' x 3' Malifaux board, more like 2'6" x 3'6". I have a vague plan to turn it into a dockside area using water to one side with some little piers and boats.
The whole thing is currently Dave Graffam (www.davesgames.net) stuff, his models are all pretty easy to make, pretty cheap but great quality, I can highly recommend. Nice thing is that a lot of the pdfs are multi-layer, allowing you to make several versions of the same building that look totally different.

This was the sign for the "Me & You" talk show I did at the Hayward in London.
Just bought this beauty at an Estate Sale. $25 well spent methinks. I can mount any of my current Nikon F-mount lenses that have an aperture ring and they meter.
Strobist: AB800 in octobox, camera right at f/11. base and BG white foamcore.
*obviously* i can't complain too much as santa brought me a new (awesome!) toy, but the upcoming photo show is killing me! framing is sooo expensive, so i am doing it myself - still sooo expensive. dry mounting with an iron - not such a great idea. oops. tape, hmm, talk about buckling. tomorrow is the spray adhesive attempt. my photos are all 24"x36" and up. i've got the non-glare plexi cut. i've got the foamcore. any suggestions to help me get out of this hell that i am in??? i'm ordering some exhibition "L" pins express shipping tomorrow, so that will help *once* the effing photos are attached to the foamcore, but SHEESH!
Freshly squeezed orange juice. -
Thankyou to everyone that helped to get this to Number 8 on explore.
Strobist info - Canon430ez into overhead softbox. Canon430ez into shooooothrough umbrella to camera right. Foamcore background.
Q. - Is the title obvious enough that a judge at a local camera club would get the orange at the top represents the "sun" in the title? In my experience, sometimes these things need the subtlety of a sledgehammer. ;-)
Anyway, it's the best title I could google that relates OJ and the sun - it's actually from an ad campaign for "Florida Orange Juice - The best start under the Sun" Any better suggestions gratefully received!
UPDATE - Went into the comp with the title as opus104 suggested, "Freshly squeezed sunshine" the judge liked it - it got a gold.
All three sections of the Blythe closet, not including the baskets of hair accessories and stockings. I made the majority of the clothes, excepting most of the short sleeve tees, cardigans, and random pieces here and there. The closet sections themselves are just foamcore and wooden dowels.
Chessman on wooden pedistal. Two of three reflections from a corner mirror. White foamcore at opening of the mirrors. Lighting from incandenscent fixtures. Focus stack of 75 images (a few halo artifacts remain to be removed).
Macro Mondays - theme: one sidelight only
Each ball is 3mm diameter and there are 6 balls/inch. I used one flashlight (NiteCore EA4) off to the right aimed perpendicular to the viewline of the camera. I taped the flashlight to a small ballhead on top of a lightstand. (A stack of books would have worked just as well, but I did not have that handy.) I had black foamcore to the left and behind to block any ambient light and quell any reflected light from the flashlight.
The fires are mostly out here, though the hills smolder, and the air still tastes dry and flinty. The scars are visible mere yards from the road. As your eye travels up on the steep ashy slopes, the bones of the hills lay bare, an unexpected flash of granite. Still, most of it was further back, and we are strangely spared from the full weight of it. And all the while, the sea comes and goes, the birds still take wing; for the way of things is old, and we are young.
Here we are on day three and already I'm winging it. I created a list of ideas for my shot today, but by the time I got home from work and had dinner, I just didn't feel like doing any of them. This isn't even plan "C". This is drag-some-lights-into-the-kitchen-look-through-the-cupboards-seat-of-my-pants shooting. Add a quick edit to get the shot up before midnight. And whew! Three down.
This is a cheap plastic decoration (presumably for a Christmas tree) I found in my daughter's room and decided I can play with it to see what I can make of it for my picture of the day.
This is the result. There is really nothing special about it and I don't quite like it that much. But still it was a good exercise in lighting a multi-faceted semi-transparent object.
I hanged it on a thin fishing line which I later removed in post-production. Other than that, not much else is changed in this picture apart from additional crop (it used to be a horizontal image).
I used four flashes: left and right behind the subject and one on the left in front for overall illumination. The fourth flash was for background. I used black foamcore boards to prevent the light from the main flashes to spill onto the background.
Lighting configuration:
Right/behind - SB-24 @ 1/4 power
Left/behind - SB-24 @ 1/8 power
Left/front - SB-26 @ 1/4 power
Background - SB-26 @ full power (green gel/grid)
Thanks everyone for your comments and faves on my previous image, it made Explored :-).
The weather hasn't been the greatest, in fact I'm looking outside at the snow I need to shovel...and the snow is looking back at me :-). I want to start shooting products, as I'm thinking about starting a 365 photography project and I'll need to find things to shoot on a daily basis.

It's amazing what you can do with minimal lighting. The following image was lit with garbage from around the house. A little junk lamp that lacks a lamp shade, some old foamcore board from Dollar Tree (backdrop, plus blocking and reflecting the light), a defective LED lightbulb (it stops working once it warms up), and a paper towel to defuse the light.
Strobist: SB-800 into lastolite ezybox directly overhead. SB-28, gelled orange onto white foamcore behind.
I'm loving this thing : )

I've been slowly working on the doll trunk! This past weekend I made a lot of progress. All of the drawers are finished, painted and lined with paper!
Now all that's left is a bar for hanging things on the right, and possibly some "spackle" (probably some acrylic modeling paste) to seal up the edges of the foamcore structure :)
(Help, the dolls are multiplying! Unoas are addictive T^T Just ordered a Roron cool face for the M-line body, since I decided I liked Sist better on the A-line)
Three sheets of 8.5 x 11 inch (21x28 cm) yellow construction paper were rolled into tubes, taped together, and suspended 1/4 inch above a sheet of foamcore on a dining table. Lit by track lighting pointing directly down from the top and from a small low wattage light from the rear. The highlights on the tubes are from a flashlight sitting on the table 18 inches away. Processed in PS.
One last one this evening from a studio session with Alison. Over the course of our 90-minute shoot we tried several distinct styles; this one was all about colour....
The geek stuff - ISO 50, f/11, 1/160-second exposure with an 85MM f/1,2 fixed lens. Lighting was one Elinchrom light/softbox, straight on and fairly overhead with a piece of foamcore board right out of frame to the bottom reflecting light back up at her.

My kitcheny side of the shelf. Pinned a makeshift shelf at the top to add more Re-ments. That's the great thing about making a Re-ment diorama out of foamcore and fabric, you can just pin or sew things to the wall where ever, and you can remove or arrange it when you need to. The spice rack is just held up by sewing pins stuck straight into the wall.
While I worked on this project, which at this point consists of glueing two flat sheets of corrugated cardboard together, I found myself wondering if it would make more sense to have simply purchased and used a sheet of foamcore board. The cardboard was from some parcels I'd received in the mail so the cost was "free," but I used glue to glue the sheets together and masking tape to seal the edges to hold the sheets in place. Masking tape isn't cheap anymore. School glue is still relatively inexpensive, particularly since I still have about half a gallon that I purchased a few years back. But foamcore board is inexpensive when it is in stock at the Dollar Tree store.
Then I thought about previous projects in which I had used Dollar Tree foamcore board which had warped or sagged, resulting in my glueing two or even three sheets together to get adequate rigidity for my purposes.
The cost comparisons for tape and glue and "free" cardboard relative to purchased craft boards led me to recall something I'd read a few weeks ago when I'd been researching the history of square-drive Robertson screws compared to slotted screws and Phillips-head screws. In the early years of the 20th century, Ford Motor Company discovered they could shave considerable time off the manufacture of an automobile by using square-drive Robertson screws. The savings in time and worker hours more than made up for the higher cost of square-drive screws relative to slotted screws. For the purposes of mass production it made sense to purchase the more expensive screws.
I am only making one item, so the mass production savings over time do not really apply to my situation. The screw conversation, however, arose on Flickr, which set me thinking about Flickr, and about some comments I had posted earlier in the day which I possibly could have worded more concisely for better clarity, so I took a break from my cardboard and glue project to revisit my Flickr comments from an hour previously and edit them.
And yet I wonder why I never finish anything I start. Now you know... and in theory, so do I.
Not that it'll make any difference in how I approach things.

Coffee is brewing.
Have a fruit before you leave for the day.
Oh, and have a great day.
I love you.
