image of the day and a quick test of my new portable backdrop. very slight adjustment to the brightness and contrast gives a perfect black (i.e. 0, 0, 0, 255) across the board. just need to sort out my lighting now (oh and tidy myself up a bit!)

Willie Wouldhave tested his lifeboat model at South Shields beach in 1789. His friend and collaborator W A Hails wrote that the model was unsinkable and self righting. The model lifeboat in South Shields museum is almost certainly not Wouldhave's model as it is not self righting. This model was made from Hails description and it performed well in the test showing great stability and the ability to surf down waves as well as being self righting in all conditions.
Currently I'm testing some of the Color Efex filters. I quite like them, especially the "bleach bypass" and I'd get them if they weren't at that steep price of 160 Euro (funny things is that they cost only 160$ in the US. Quite a rip off!).
I just received a new lens, the Tokina 100mm Macro for Canon which is a long-time dream lens of mine.
And here comes the first test.

Shooting a test roll I bulk loaded.
I kinda "twatted it up" but it came good in the end.
First I had somehow managed to put the canister back together with the spindle the wrong way around (hopefully people who have bulk loaded film before will know what I am talking about).
The roll didn't fit into my XA4 (a big clue something wasn't right) but I stuck it into my EOS 5 instead. Somehow it fitted in and wound on (not sure how with the spindle poking out the wrong end) and I shot the whole roll.
Then I hit problem number 2, I hadn't taped the film to the spindle properly so it snapped off and failed to rewind - I had to use a changing bag to rescue it.
In the end though I developed the film and all the photos came out fine - phew!
testing the course layout for the event next wednesday. all in all a great day and cant wait for next wednesday.

About the (former) contents of that box...
On the eve of my first location shoot requiring lighting, Rico helped me test-run with my new portable strobe kit. The first few moments touching each of the parts felt incredibly awkward (it didn't help that it was rather late and we were already very tired), but we got the hang of it eventually. We set up only one of my two lights (Dynalite uni400jr Monolights).
While I consider this a respectable test shot, I know I have a long road ahead.
Testing a remote setup for a future shoot. Camera on magic arm attached to the fork and right grip. Pocket wizards triggered by button located on the left hand side of the handlebar. PW trigger both camera and two remote flashes on for at the camera right at 1/2 power and one as a rimlight behind me (rider) at 1/1. f16/0,5 sec. Remote PW on 0,43 second delay to get rear curtain sync. flash placement was a bit tricky as was the timing of the delay.
Was happy to see a recent outtake during my recent shoot with Vanessa was accepted over at www (dot) light - test (dot) com
For some reason, I find that website very addictive.
