So many things went awry with these rolls that it's difficult to sort it all out. massive, ugly grain, no definition and extreme contrast, poorly exposed. . . many were overexposed due to sloppy metering, I should have gotten out the nd filter, and then there were troubles getting the rolls on the reels. developing at 82 degrees (can't get around this), possibly too much time in the soup. plus, my method of scanning negatives leaves a lot to be desired! but I think I might have learned some things.

Our latest #podcast with MRCC’s VP Educational Publishing, Michael Wegerbauer, is all about drawing a connection with Modern Learners via #animation. With 20+ years of experience, Mike weighs in on the benefits of animation in a modern learning environment and its ability to captivate learners through visually-rich storytelling. With a growing demand for online learning, Mike also shares his insights on how publishers can leverage animations to offer #learning that is enriching and engaging.

Pimpin' the list

I have discovered that the calendar of what's on in April in the Hunter Valley, that's run by *Out of my Mind* is an excellent resource; very handy, and it gets me out of the house to go and in place for the opportunity for interesting photos.

Another shot from the Supernatural performance in Birdwood park.

A salvaged image, not originally conceived as a silhouette. (But fun to have nonetheless). Shooting people on trapezes is an excellent exercise in... something.

I guess the lessons I learned from this are:

1) The importance of anticipation. Performances are a bit like sports photography.

2) When there is a predictable path of travel, letting the subject come to you, rather than being a tennis spectator, can yield a much higher number of usable shots.

3) The autofocus on the 350D when through f5 and up, can not handle this sort of situation, especially when a dark subject is moving against a dark background, then suddenly swinging up into the light

4) My manual focus isn't much better. ;)

5) Wider shots are probably the way to go until technique is refined and the lighting is favourable.

A panorama of the Mass Ave bridge that I cludged together from 4 shots. Considering this was my first attempt, I can live with the results.

Still working on improving my DoF techniques.

January 15, 2020 - We had a Bandoneon and Tango learning experience in Plaza Bomberos Voluntarios de La Boca after our free time exploring the La Boca neighborhood. Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I actually started the muxtape cover with this. While I was listening to it, I was doodling the "Blues Time Machine" thing, and was just going to go with that.

Then I realized I just didn't care for it that much.

This is the shot that proved to me that I'm finally thinking like a photographer. I was stood on the step at high tide (you can see the railing in the foreground) at dusk, trying to get a good shot of the surf breaking for five minutes. My mate, Bruce was four steps behind me. I had promised I wouldn't get the camera wet. But, when Bruce warned me of a huge wave coming in, I didn't move to protect the camera, or hide it under my jacket. No, I started shooting, looking for the shot that would make me. Both me and the camera got drenched with salt water, but I knew what it meant... I cared more about the shot that the camera and lens. And, that, my friends, strikes me as a good way to be.

Another brown duck came alongside our boat, but this one chorused "Quack Quack!" at us, instead of just floating there looking nervous.

02-05-10 I tried to do some "Focus Stacking" today. I followed this tutorial. Something went horribly wrong though, and this was the result. Next time I will use a tripod...

I took a picture in a rush because the boat was moving and I saw a bird I didn't recognize. I didn't really catch a shot of the bird though. That pretty much sums up my "learning experience" of trying to take pictures on the water.

this is in the boston harbor locks.

Okay, this is more of a note-to-self than actual photo. This is one of about twenty. Apparently, taking pictures of birds is a lot harder than I anticipated
