Test roll: almost all images are ruined. On the lower & left side of the negative. Why, I don't know. (BTW some images don't have this problem.) What's happened??
HDR Test of Mosta Dome over the Festive period. I usually shoot 8 exposures from a tripod for my HDRs so I thought I would spice things up a little and shoot handheld, 3 exposures per second and see what I could come up with just for fun... as you do! Images were shot on an eos 1ds mark 2 with a 16-35mm L lens, post processed in photoshop CS2, converted to hdr with photomatix and tonemapped with lucis arts. Copyright: Allen Venables.
On my way home with my new wide angle lens, stopped at a weinerschnitzel for some chilidogs and test shots :)
The only thing visible above water at the EMEC tidal test site - these are the pilings for one specific turbine. We were told three others are also being tested on site, but all evidence of them was hidden below the water...
Atomic Testing Museum documents the work conducted at the Nevada Test Site and its impact on the nation. This interactive museum houses artifacts on loan from personal collections, the Smithsonian Institution, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and pieces of the Berlin wall and World Trade Centers.
So I thought I would test out this flickr video feature since I just upgraded to a pro account.
This was captured through the camera on my Nokia cell phone. Not bad.
I was inspired by my old blog, where I used to write a "Music Mondays" weekly feature thing. I kinda miss my blog. Maybe I will bring it back to life. Maybe not. Maybe i will start to do a video-music-monday on flickr. Most likely I will not.
I accidentally filmed this sideways and can't flip it. But oh well, this is only a test.
Incase you care, I'm talking about Julieta Venegas and her album " Limon y Sal."
I don't listen to a lot of latin music, but it is Hispanic Heritage month, and Julieta, in my opinion, is pretty cool.
enjoy it.
Testing models in the Open_Sailing high-tech swimming pool. Surprisingly, most boats floated well, and showed resilience to even teh strongest of waves.
Flickr users will have seen the adverts on the homepage for QOOP products, and I decided to get a calendar printed to see how they are, with a view to making some for 2010.
As a test, I ordered the larger size and sent a selection of shots from my photostream to see how well they printed.
I was expecting rather pixellated images, since my photos are 1280 pixels wide and the calendar is very large. I was also expecting the shots to print a little on the dark side since I am used to seeing them on a very bright monitor.
They are maybe a tiny bit on the dark side, but perfectly OK if the calendar is quite well lit. The pixellation is not at all noticeable unless you put your face right up to it - and who does that with a wall calendar?
On the whole I would say it's very good and to be recommended. I'm not sure the large size quite justifies the price, though, as it seems to be printed on huge paper with the spiral at the top, and the smaller one, with the spiral in the middle, wouldn't be that much smaller. I may have to try it to find out ...
Several colleagues who were around when I opened the parcel were very impressed and want to buy one (which they can't, I'm only doing the one), so I may have to do a few more when I do a proper 2010 one, or maybe a café one, as has been suggested.

Another new lens, another tree Tuesday shot.
Made with a Fujifilm X-Pro1 and 35mm Fujinon f1.4. First impressions of this lens are favorable for sure...I shall be using this properly during upcoming trips to Scotland and Norway.
i may - or may not? - have messed with Aeryn's face too much.
she has/had a company faceup but today while prepping her for the meet tomorrow i decided i wanted to try and do what i had intended to do for a long time, which was remove her cheek blushing.
while cute, i never really liked it on her because her character is meant to be a frail, indoors-y type girl who is a little sickly, so she should have a pallor (mary-sue-ism alert at 10 o' clock, sir!)
of course i only have experience "practicing" faces on Rilena and Frankie Stein...
first i forgot that before the dark blush, there is a mild tan blush layer which also has to be removed unless you want the doll to look like she has muddy smudges on her face - all this while avoiding messing up her make up too much.
i'm worried i missed a spot, so i'll double check later... that is part of the reason i took this photo too.
second i tried to alter her make-up a little but as you can see it's a bit sloppy. i re-did her under eye shine using white watercolor pencil and sparkly powder. i think i layed it on too thick and didnt blend properly, so maybe i will redo it, but not sure if i will do that *tonight*
then i defined her eyebrows a teeny bit more with brown watercolor pencil. finally i dabbed some of the paint off her lips to give them a paler pink color.
i don't know if this new look is acceptable, or if i totally just effed up my expensive SOOM faceup - of course, nothing can't be fixed, but i welcome any opinions or, uhh, gentle critique.
also if you follow me and see her tomorrow, please save the backtalk for when i'm not listening if she looks like crap T.T"
oh, and final note of credit - this baby blue babydoll dress was made by the extremely talented Silje.
After a long rest, Wally has decided to continue with his testing. You can read all about his newest venture here
