After finishing superdupershape implementation in surfaceLib, I wrote a small test program. After all there 15 parameters to create 3d shapes. Plus endless colors themes from kuler.
Process:
- Take plastic camera to the Gold Cup 2014
- Leave roll of film in drawer for a few years
- Find forgotten about film
- Cross process in old E-6 chemicals mixed 6 months ago
- Expect nothing!
Camera // Holga 120N
Film // Kodak Portra 160
Developer // Tetenal E-6 cross process
Scan // Epson V850
Abgusht or Dizi - the name given to the single-serving earthenware jug which the ingredients are cooked and served in-is an Iranian traditional food. Alongside the Dizi you get an empty bowl for your soup and a gushtkup, which is an uncomplicated metal club used to mash up your kubideh.
You can get a high class Dizi sitting on Persian rugs and accompanied by traditional music at restaurants such as the Azari Traditional Teahouse in Tehran.
Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.

An old chip that i opened to see what's inside.
It's an Intel 8742, a 8-bit microcontroller that includes a CPU running at 12 MHz, 128 bytes of RAM, 2048 byte of EPROM, and I/O in the same chip.
See the official doc (pdf) on the intel's website.
Thank you to kingey1971 for the identification !

When I posted this, I hadn't updated Photoshop to read DL5 RAW files--this is one of the non-processed JPEGs samples from the D-Lux 5.
Straight out of camera, 100% UN-processed JPEGs were quite good if not excellent.
I've posted several JPEGs shot in various daylights/night/indoor--Harvard pics were shot around noon; Christian Science Park around 10am; The "Field" bar shots between 330pm and 6:00pm. Prudential area between 4 and 6pm; picture of the red flash light around 8:00pm inside the house with lights turned off.
So here are my thoughts on DL5, based on having used the DL4:
1. I love the colors. They are saturated but not overly unrealistic. Colors feel very "Leica." DL4's colors were good never wowed me.
2. DL5 focus is lightning fast and accurate. I took some shots while walking down to Harvard--snapped pictures without stopping and most of my shots came out fine. The focus, I feel is faster than the DL4.
3. DL5 is sharp at 24mm all the way to 90mm! DL5 is sharper than DL4 and have better details and better colors (color preference is subjective, of course. I just like DL5's saturated colors. Besides, it's easier to tone down the saturation than to add more, since adding saturation, to me, seems a little unnatural in the results).
4. ISO! I have never used a small digital compact that look as good in 1600ISO as the DL5. Most of the shots from the VERY low-lit bar were shot with 1600ISO. Some were shot with Shutter priority to get some motion blur.
5. Macro mode is amazing--1cm focusing distance, just like the Ricoh GRD3.
Of course, DL5 still suffers from typical small sensor issue--lack of a broad dynamic range--leading to blown out highlights and detail-less shadows. But, such issues are easily fixed in LR or PS. With such great JPEGs results, I won't have to feel so eager waiting for RAW support in LR.
Oh, one thing I dislike about DL5 is there is no grip. When I sold my DL4, I gave away the grip. I think I'll have to get another one. Grip, to me, is essential when I shoot on the street. It gives me better stability and quicker framing (because I can move my hand much faster without the camera slipping off or have to worry about dropping the camera--yes I am using a wrist strap. Neck strap is too restricting and draws too much attention (as a tourist, even if you're not).
Just my 2-cents.
I haven't shot any cross processing or used my lomo since July 08. I was getting very fed up with it all. But i actually loaded a film into my lomo the other week, i haven't used it yet, but never say never.

ArtisanIdea.com just posted a turbo mega profile of my art with a 10 year retrospective, process videos, and a big giant interview.
They created some nifty process slideshows to show the making of a few of my paintings> www.artisanidea.com/2012/04/05/jennifer-davis/
This was such a fun project.
Big thanks to Artisan Idea!
Funny story about coffee beans. A while back I was at Whole Foods and wanted to buy green coffee beans but they would not sell them to me. I asked why and the roaster said, "we do not want to ruin the integrity of our bean".
Specialty coffee roasters have a large markup. Wholesale green beans cost between $1-2 per pound depending on the bean. Once a bean is roasted it usually sells for $11-15 (and sometimes more) a pound.
If you ever want to buy green beans to roast you can use www.sweetmarias.com (I have made orders online and made purchases in the store in Oakland). Expect to pay between $4-5 lb but the point of roasting beans is not to save money, it is to get freshly roasted beans that give good crema.
A green bean lasts around 2 years, a roasted bean is usable for 2-4 weeks, and beans that have been ground last about 20 minutes. These guides are for optimum quality.
