Composition flickr #001
This is my flickr tribute... My prefered one.
This is done in my MicroStudio. The cheapest studio ever made :)
just a weird fox thing that I found at a garage sale for free.
How this picture was setup is explained here and then blogged about here!
This is an unedited picture.
My dad has been giving me these collector's die cast piggy banks that are replicas of the old Texaco era. He would give me one every Christmas since I was born. So one day I was scouring the Strobist website and I came across an article describing a way to make a cheap micro studio. These trucks were the first on my mind to shoot. This was also the first shoot with my new (for me) 50mm OM prime lens with an OM to 4/3 adapter. Which is why I have no f-stop info on my meta data. It was F/1.8 for the record though.
40W (100W equivalent) fluorescent in beauty dish directly above camera, 40W fluorescent in beauty dish camera right, white bounce camera left, 60W table lamp fill from camera left.

strobist info: cardboard micro studio, crazy wrinkled black dyed muslin, broken glass panel under bottle, tissue paper on my middle finger to control bleeding, strobe camera right, through vellum, 1/16 power, 1 1/2 ft. away. Strobe camera left, 1/16 power, 3 ft. away.
Really bad example; I was trying to imitate this. The bottle was fresh out of the fridge and all foggy on the outside. And fuzzy focus to boot. Oh well...
After trying out my new flash on tiny things, I turned the camera around on myself for today's self portrait.
I set up a microstudio, clipping a neutral colored sheet to the wall as a backdrop, clamping my E-M5 with flash to a convenient mounting location, and then taking a bunch of exposures.
I'm quite a novice with flash photography, so the final image required a bit more attention in Lightroom than noramal. I had to correct a bit of overexposure and the inevitable red-eye from a flash directly along the axis of the lens.
In the end I was reasonably happy with the result, but I think I still prefer a more typical studio strobe arrangement. And I've scheduled a haircut appointment for next week. :)
Here is my 'butterflies are the new pirates' curtain, looking out from the microstudio into our living room. The butterflies are collaged ephemera, with several lino block printed examples, with ribbon sandwiched between two dissimilar papers.The ribbons are tided to my DIY: two sticks + drill + four wood screws = one curtain rod.

This is my collection of vintage letterpress type, stored, imaginatively, in a type tray. Though, I did mount it on the wall (in the micro-studio) and add Japanese paper to to, also with various other things, like coral and acorns. So, I think of it like a cabinet of curiosity. But, it isn't a curiosity; I use the type.
