Saturday Self Challenge

This week in SSC:

Post-process as much as you like.

I’ve had a terrible time getting Marmite when we’ve been outside the UK. The Australians have Vegemite (not the same) and some places have Bovril (not the same). In Europe I’ve only seen it in specialist shops, and not at all in the US, so whenever we travel, even in the UK, a jar goes in the luggage.

For those of you unfamiliar with the black sticky spread it’s one of those things you either love or hate, and that is how the company who produce it market it. There’s even a gene test you can take to determine whether you’re a lover or a hater.

If you love it, like me, there is nothing better than Marmite spread on hot buttered toast. Most people spread it quite thin, I don’t, it goes on thick, or gets eaten out of the jar with a spoon.

The idea of photographing the jar though a hole in the toast came to me when I was wondering what I could do differently for this weeks challenge. The set up was a bit of a problem, I soon discovered toast doesn’t balance too well on its crust on its own, so there are a couple of pieces of metal keeping it upright. The other issue was the backdrop, I fastened a black cloth to the wall with a couple of press pins, this proved to be a cat magnet and was pulled off several times between and during shots. The toast took it upon itself to fall over too in a pile of crumbs several times during the shoot too, I’m just glad I didn’t butter it or things could have been much worse.

Perseverance paid off and this is the end result.

Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

Don't you hate it, when you are about to sit down for supper. The door bell rings, you answer it, and its your super friendly local JKPP group ladies.

From last evening's memory or was it just a weird dream?

he's fine.

but he hated being poked and prodded. hated [but he knows it would be gauche to bite, so he tolerated it]

he's on a bit of rimadyl for muscle pain. and we'll watch him closely.

I’m killing the Quoteskine Facebook page at the end of this week.

It won’t matter to most of you as you’re here and not there.

But now you know anyway.

Our eldest daughter, Cerys. At the weekend we like to take them to the seafront to ride their bikes as it's a long stretch, very flat and, well they don't have the confidence to cycle cross-country yet :)

I also wanted to try and take some portraits with the compact camera, the Olympus Mju 720w again. Of course, i couldn't help but make the image al little darker, which means Cathy hates the image, but i like it :)

I hate myself for loving you.

Can't break free from the the things that you do.

I want to walk but I run back to you, that's why

I hate myself for loving you.

One Arm Don: Enough said.....

Mỗi khi buồn là em vẫn luôn lặng thinh

Em sẽ soi gương mình trong trái tim

Lắng nghe từng điều suy nghĩ trong tim mình

Vì đâu ai hiểu em được như chính em

Và em luôn còn đây ca hát giữa đời

Xem chùa là chết đi nhé

Thích thì hãy fav-

最近遇到的人都很憤怒、是不是因為我也很憤怒，所以所有情緒都回到我自己身上了？

才不是，那些人的憤怒是甩到別人臉上用力狠砸一通

我是藏在心裏自己承受的。

但是

對付那些憤怒的人，

不免俗還是惡毒的、用力的詛咒他們，然後不管他們做了什麼任何稱之為服務的「動作」，

也不會從我身上得到「謝謝」的回饋（有人在乎嗎？），

進行這種微小的報復和抗議...。

只好會轉身離去，希望情緒可以留在那裡

不帶走，

但這需要練習。

今天我還是一如往常在意了

而且又檢討自己

是不是因為自己太笨拙了？

雖然不懂Miranda的幽默，

但能像她那麼可愛的生活

終究不存在在現實生活中？

really..

نعم فإني أكرهك..

فابتعدي

ولاتلتفتي

وامضي كأنك لم تعرفيني

فلست بمن يرضى الهوان

فالموت احب الي من الهوان

وحاكمي نفسك "الحرة"

وانظريها

قبل أن تحاكميني

واستمعي لقولي

ونفذيه

فماعدت أهتم إن هجرتيني:

اغربي عني وخليني

واتركي قلبي بعافيةٍ

ولملمي دمع العيون

فإنه والله لن يبكيني

وكما أكرهكِ فاكرهيني

* لا أكتب خواطر بالعادة فاعطفوا ...

LOVE/HATE (I forgot that I had marmite socks on show whilst shooting this)

We had a beaut party last night, so much fun! Although, half way through the night I lost my voice so I've been whispering my way into the new year.

I shot this image as a back up on day 6 of my 7 day self portrait challenge in October and I've just remembered that I'd forgot to edited it.

Day 32?

People who hate me will not like this one, because I appear in the photo twice! Haha!

This is another experiment of mine. I wanted to play a bit with long exposures, as well as double exposures and off camera flash.

It was around 7:10pm when I took this one, so there was still some sun light. In order to take this one I chose the manual mode and stepped down my aperture to the minimum of f/22. I then tried different shutter speeds, in order to make sure that the photo will be well exposed. After seeing that 13 secs would produce good results, I went on the other side of the camera and started shooting. I tried to count about 6 secs for the first pose and then I switched lightning fast (!) to the other pose! :)

In the background you can see the Empire State Building!

Info

Nikon D90 with Tokina 11-16mm 2.8@ 11mm

Manual Exposure

ISO 200 : As a sidenote I wanted to mention that I listened to a podcast recently that suggested using the lowest NATIVE ISO setting when shooting long exposures. I used to use the Lo1 settings when shooting long exposures but I listened to the advice and switched to ISO 200.

13 secs (on a crappy tripod)

f/22

Shot RAW and processed in PS5 (after minimal work in LR3). I used PS5 because there was part of a bench on the right end of the photo. I didn't want to crop that part, because I wanted to keep the light (rays) in the picture. So, I used the new content-aware deletion in PS5 to try and remove the bench. I think it did a pretty good job!

I then went back to LR3 and following [http://www.flickr.com/photos/leonem/]'s suggestions I changed the contrast and clarity..
