The other sides of me that are rarely seen but are often thought about, and goals of what I want to be always walk with me wherever I go.
Page twenty four. This one took me the longest by far. Had to hollow out the pages to be able to put all the little pieces in. The words up the top are from "A Wish" by Gregory and the hawk. Bears drawn my me.
For an art assignment, the theme was 'The Street'. I chose to do an altered book, relating loosely back to abandoned things. It is all very influenced by yyellowbird's photography, Frankie magazines and various poems that I have found inspiring. [[Work in progress!]]

Lighting Essentials Workshop.
Shot in full sun, which was giving f/16 @ 1/200 (the f/16 rule). The speedlights were set to give an exposure of f/22 to overpower the sun and I synch'd at 1/160 with Cactus triggers. Three lights: one in front of the model, illuminating her face, one to camera left and one to camera right.
Photoshop: I opened this image in ACR and "yikes!" all the shadows were clipped to black. So I set about bringing up the exposure...then it dawned on me: we deliberately set this shot up to drop out the background. So I left the exposure alone and let the background fall out. Contrast adjustment with curves, some skin smoothing and blemish removal. Light sharpening.

The colours of the picture are edited. But the shadow isn't. I was playing with my light and then I got this result.
Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: Backlit Silhouettes
A shadow moth, drawn to the light.
What it took: I wanted a more delicate silhouette, so I looked around for translucent things in my house. This is a set of costume wings (actually quite large), attached to a lamp for the backlit glow effect. Thank goodness for cool, fluorescent bulbs, or I'd never have been able to get this shot -- the wings had to be tied directly on to the bulb to get the light the way i wanted it.
Post processing: Cropped to suit me, removed some spots from the wall, the visible bits of the lamp, white balanced blue, and toned down almost all of the giant light spot on the wall, leaving only a slight glow at the front of the wings. Added the texture to give more of an ethereal forest feel. (and to, um, hide the bumps in my wall)
The texture is the sympathy texture by sheispretty, although I cropped, rotated and modified the colours to suit my needs better.
Shadows cast into RMIT building 100 (the "Design Hub") on Swanson St.
You could be forgiven for thinking it's actually pixelated. :-)
