Technique: Sometimes the subject I'm shooting gets so use to me being close that it just goes about its business as if I'm not there. All I had to do is set the camera to under expose the natural light in the background, and I shaded the subject so that the flash was the only significant light source on the mantis (to freeze motion).
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens with 37mm of extension + a diffused MT-24EX (flash head "A" set as the key and "B" as the fill, with the key on a Kaiser flash shoes). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
One of my still lives at candle's light to celebrate the cherries harvest.
Cherries are the fruit I prefer and also the true protagonists, the most precious fruits of my area.
I like to display cherries in a rustic way, on wooden trays or bowls but in this new Still Life shooting, I have been willing to lend what cherries represent in my area, pure jewels, more than the best chocolate pralines... An unforgettable gourmet delicacy for both taste and eyes. An experience that only lasts 2/3 weeks in the year, the time they are mature and picked up. Something unmissable...

Especially for this shooting:
Wrapping and display is important if the content is.
So, this time, I have been using as display tools only silversmith handmade author's jewellery.
Here to the right, a mini sterling silver bowl for the whipped cream, to the left a mini sterling silver fondue holder to melt chocolate and then deep inside a cherry. I made it for real, so in this photo chocolate is melting, well, maybe boiling and the candle blown up very quickly. I could not replace it as it's not a regular tealight, it's a customized mini tealight made especially to adapt to this miniature sculpture.
I built some candle's stands using some old camera tripods and fixing the candle holders on top of them. Apart this, well, I have an appointed personally conceived "technique" to display further candles in the angles where I need this particular natural light.
The ice cubes or the dry ice gas would eventually complete the special sweet fondue.
The cherries had just been picked up from the tree, I hurried up to shoot them in all their splendor of freshness.
This vision and this flavour are never possible when buying cherries from the groceries.
Zero km food is in most cases the very best food.

There is one technique in Wildlife Photography that for me can truly transform and improve a person images. I used this technique to capture an image of this Merlin sitting on its prey along the road in front of my home a few weeks back. This technique allowed me to create what I think is wonderful image in a difficult scene. To learn more about this technique and my encounter with this Merlin check out my recent blog post.
A delicate yet powerful portrait of a Sri Lankan woman, immersed in a textured, abstract background. Her serene expression and the vibrant pink flower she holds symbolize resilience, grace, and the beauty of simplicity. The painting, created using mixed media techniques, combines raw, expressive lines with layered colors, evoking a sense of depth and emotion.

Excerpt from the plaque:
Paper Crafting Technique of Lion Heads
Lion head paper crafting has a long history in Hong Kong. The birthday celebrations held for deities in villages are usually accompanied by dancing lions or other auspicious animals. They worshipped at shrines and temples to report to the deities, and hence lion head paper crafting emerged. The lion head costume comes in Foshan 佛山裝, Heshan 鶴山裝 and “Fo-He” 佛鶴裝 styles. Some craftmen depict the lion heads in different colours to resemble historical figures from the Three Kingdoms such as Liu Bei 劉備 (yellow face with multicoloured patterns and a white beard), Guan Yu 關羽 (red face with a black beard), Zhang Fei 張飛 (black-and-white face, green nose with a black beard), Zhao Yun 起趙雲 (green face with a black beard), Huang Zhong 黃忠 (with yellow as the main tone). Lion head paper crafting comprises four processes, namely crafting the frame, mounting the paper, colouring and decorating 紮作，撲紙，寫色，裝上裝飾配件。
The distinctive hunting technique of pied kingfishers has earned the species a few records. Not only are they the largest hovering bird, but they are also the only kingfishers with the ability to perform a figure of eight wing stroke.
They hunt by hovering 50-65 feet above the water and then diving headfirst (or rather, bill-first) into the water. Pied kingfishers demonstrate spectacular speed and agility on the hunt.
The kingfisher bird’s black and white colors and hovering ability are their most distinctive qualities. You’ll often spot the pied kingfisher live in action, hovering over bodies of water.
Vary difficult to get an image as they fly past you so fast and I was standing in a boat. Amazing birds

My technique is alway the same:
Three exposures -2EV, 0, +2EV and then temperature adjustement using Lightroom and layering with luminosity mask using photoshop. Removal of distracting stuff with the stamp tool or patch tool. High pass filter to enhance details. Then saturation, contrast selectively control, dodge and burn where need...
DRI stand for Dynamic Range Increase. Three RAW files are used to achieve this. Rather than using a software like Photomatix for instance, I simply use mask to blend, my own way, the light, dark and normal shot with Photoshop and Lightroom.. To me, It looks more natural than the usual HDR treatment that I would normally applied.

Ma technique est toujours la même:
Trois prises de vue -2EV, 0, +2EV. Ensuite ajustement de la température de couleur avec Lightroom et usage de calques et masques de luminosités avec Photoshop. Retrait d'éléments de distraction avec l'outil tampon. Filtre High pass pour le rehaussement des détails. Ensuite saturation et contraste ajustés de façon sélectives et locales. Dodge and burn là où requis...
DRI vient de l'anglais Dynmic Range Increase, qui pourrait se traduire par étendue dynamique améliorée. Les même 3 fichiers RAW entrent dans la composition d'un DRI. Plutôt que de se servir d'un logiciel comme Photomatix qui fait tout le travail, je me sers plutôt de masques pour filtrer l'éclairage dans photoshop et Lightroom. De mon point de vue, cette façon de faire donne une image plus naturel que le traitement HDR que j'employais auparavant.

An attempt at The Milkyway over the Eddystone Lighthouse in Plymouth from Wembury beach. My first try learnt a bit I think and will definitely have another go to try and perfect a technique.
*366 photos for the 20's 04/30*
this year I will try to choose one photo a day for this pseudo-project, no matter the motive, style, colour or technique. encouraging myself to shoot everyday, even if I can't go outside.
I come back to my favorites extraordinary effects of photography using the technique of intentional camera movement to achieve effect "Lyrical Abstraction"

I reckon I've come up with a new building technique using a 30134 - Staircase 7x4x6 as rafters. I apologise in advance if this technique has been posted before.
The advantages of using a 30134 - Staircase 7x4x6 piece in this context is allowing the roof to be structurally stronger and they also represent the wooden rafters that go diagonally across a typical roof. Follow the link below to see the breakdown of the technique used in this MOC.

I put up a tutorial on InnovaLUG's website about how I made the roof for my Age of Empires II Market creation.
Read the tutorial on the website:
innovalug.com/post/74/weathered-shingle-roof-tutorial
Because it's not a step-by-step kind of technique, you just experiment with the connections and with how much of a weathered look you want until you're happy with the results. The post on the website goes into more detail about the process if you're interested.
The droplets again !
THE TECHNIQUE!
I used soft pastels and drew them on some card to get those colours I then used a pane of clear glass and cleaned it, I then placed the glass above the coloured card about 2 feet above but this can be any height really but it does have to be high enough for the subject to be out of focus, the higher it is the more detail in the reflections.
I then used a eye dropper filled with water and placed the droplets on the surface of the pane of glass and just focusing on the droplets and nothing else to get this results, go on have a go yourselves!! You can use any subject material just use your imagination!
I'm packing up my Lego collection, and finding all these bits that never got photographed. I hadn't posted a pic like this in a while, so here you go :)
Note: I don't even remember whether I came up with the Dark Red one or if that was someone's REC submission... if it had a note attached to it, it doesn't anymore :( If it's yours please let me know!
I finished a design video for the *cockpit* of my custom LEGO spaceship, Astrea. It’s at https://youtu.be/XTm9-6GDWlo.
I tried a new, digital approach/format for this video because I'm currently away from my physical models. (I plan to create some additional videos for other parts of Astrea in this format, and I'll be releasing the full digital file. Kindly stand by!)
Additional materials (photos, background, digital design) for Astrea and my other LEGO creations are at https://www.galacticplastics.com.
My entry for round 1 of The Middle Earth LEGO Olympics over on MOCpages. The category was to create a build based on one of J.R.R Tolkien’s poems or songs. Here is the one I chose:
Farewell we call to hearth and hall!
Though wind may blow and rain may fall,
We must away ere break of day
Far over wood and mountain tall.
To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell
In glades beneath the misty fell,
Through moor and waste we ride in haste,
And whither then we cannot tell.
With foes ahead, behind us dread,
Beneath the sky shall be our bed,
Until at last our toil be passed,
Our journey done, our errand sped.
We must away! We must away!
We ride before the break of day!
I tried to portray the 3 main themes of the song: hearth and home, travel through the wild, and Rivendell.

First attempt to learn the tools of acrylic painting. No mistakes when the goal is learning...great fun! No comments needed...just enjoy the colors.
This is intended to become the base on which some device can swivel around. It took a bit of trial and error to make it almost perfectly round. I added the inner hole just for fun :)
Perhaps of use.
Speaking of useful, if you only have a phone and struggle with photographing your stuff properly, have a look at my latest video here here.
Join The Workshop 'n say hi.
Or really Day 8, but whatever.
The final technique! This one is my personal favorite. Two years ago, I came up with this technique, which allows for bricks that are 2 plates high and 2 studs wide to be spaced half a plate apart from each other. Ever since, I've been trying to come up with a way to fill those 1/2 plate gaps, and this is my best solution. :)
This technique, much like the one that inspired it, is based on clip-and-bar connections. The two key pieces are 1x2 grille tiles and minifigure neck brackets, along with some trusty 4L or 5L bars and 1x1 tiles with clip. This one is more complex than the others, so I'll explain it step by step:
1. Select a brick color (or colors). Gather up a bunch of 1x2 grille tiles and 1x2 plates in that color and connect them together to form the "bricks" in the wall.
2. Select a "mortar" color. Gather up a bunch of minifigure neck brackets and 1x2 grille tiles in this color. You'll probably want to go with light or dark bley for this one.
3. Gather up a bunch of 1x1 tile with clip pieces and rod pieces. Connect all the 1x1 tiles with clip to the studs of the minifigure neck brackets.
4. Construct a supporting structure. This just has to be something that props up all the rod pieces so you can form a backbone for the wall. However, this gets a bit tricky. In this technique, each layer of bricks is actually 22 LDU high, or in conventional terms 2 plates plus 3/4ths of a plate. This is because when you stack two 1x2 grille plates so their tops interlock, the result is 1 and 3/4 plates high. In order to get all the bars lined up properly, it's easiest to make a support structure that has horizontal 1x_ plates that are each 1/4th of a plate apart.
The easiest way I know to create 1/4th plate offsets is to place two 1x1 plates on the sides of one of these ("Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Light - Thick Ring") and then to connect those 1x1 plates to snot pieces such as 1x1 technic bricks.
5. Connect the rod pieces to the supporting structure, then connect the minifigure neck brackets with 1x1 tiles with clip to the rod pieces so that the holes of the brackets are all facing sideways. Each minifigure neck bracket should be placed 2 studs apart from the next one, and they have to be staggered as seen in the picture.
6. Finally, stack the 1x2 grille tiles of the background color uspide down into the "bricks" you prepared in the first step so the grille tiles of the background color are 1/2 of a plate farther inward than the "bricks". Then, insert these structures in between the minifigure neck brackets.
The result is a wall that, despite being comprised mostly of loose pieces, is quite sturdy. You can hold it at a 45º angle and the brackets will safely keep all the loose pieces lodged in. In addition, there are no prominent gaps!
The one issue with the technique is that the horizontal lines are 5/8ths of a plate wide, while the vertical lines are only 3/8ths of a plate wide. However, this isn't all that noticable unless you look straight at the wall – it looks balanced when viewed from an angle.
If anyone has seen this technique used before, please let me know! Also, if anyone figures out a way to make all of the mortar lines exactly half a plate wide, please do share it with me! I've been trying to solve this technical problem for a year now and would love to know if there are other solutions. :)
Check out this awesome build by Sandro Tagliaferri to see the technique in action!
I decided to give Clemmy a little makeover and here is her new crazy wild hair.... I hope you like her :D... if anyone would like to know how to do this then please do leave comments or feel free to message :D
Thanks for the visit :)
Welcome to day 2 of Technique Week! For all of this week, and possibly longer if I can keep going, I'll be posting a new technique every day.
Today's technique is a shingle roof technique. The two critical pieces here are the Minifigure seat and the 1x2 plate with ladder. To construct this, turn the ladders and chairs upside-down. Then wedge the fronts of the chairs in-between every second rung of the ladders. See here for a demonstration. For anyone like me who somehow wound up with an excess of chairs, especially brown chairs, this should come in handy. To fill the gaps that happen at the edges when you offset the chairs, use 1x2 tiles connected to the bottom of the chairs via 1x1 bricks with stud on one side (unless you can figure out a better way, which I'm sure exists).
You can do something similar with ladder pieces and these pieces, but I don't like the effect of that one quite as much, so I decided not to post that variation.
Click here for more days of Technique Week and and here for previous techniques.
I've also used this technique in an actual build, unlike most of my other ones. :P So you can see this technique in action.
One of our favorite roof techniques!
Some facets of this have been dabbled in before by various builders, but we think this is the first time the staggering of individual tiles, the offset of every other row, and the clean yet random joint at the top has been done. Anyways, we hope you like it, but feel free to tag or mention so we can credit people who've done various versions of this before. :)
Please feel free to visit our Facebook page:
I was really looking forward to this Macro Monday, as I've been meaning to have a play with my little (2") turquoise glass bottle.
Watched an internet tutorial on lighting, which helped. I think we can probably guess where the inspiration came from (our own 365-er Mandy Willard)!
Viewed through the shoulder of a cider flagon, with white surface and background, and black boards either side, with flash behind the bottle, reflected off the backdrop from each side. This was the most abstract version I shot, and I preferred it for that reason.
Still need to work on lighting glass, but fun was had!
Opinions are very wellcome and I'd like to know if anyone as tried this technique. I was unsuccessful when looking for similar images.
Just a little something I thought up while bored at work today. Testing out some techniques for a pretty big build I plan to make. This was mainly to see how a sewage drain would look on a sidewalk/gutter/road. I thought it turned out decent.
The matte painting (which can be translated with painting backgrounds) is a technique used mainly in film used to allow the representation of landscapes or places otherwise too costly or impossible to reconstruct or reach directly.
