7 Days of Shooting ... More than 10 ... Technique Tuesday (HDR)
High-dynamic-range imaging is a techniques used in photography to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than possible using standard photographic techniques. HDR images can represent more accurately the range of intensity levels found in real scenes, from direct sunlight to faint starlight, and is captured by taking several differently exposed pictures of the same subject matter and combining them. If you have HDR effect on your camera this can be done in camera. If you don't the same result can be achieved in a photo editing program.

This is my collection of the threads I cut after coloring linen. I have a project planned for them when I have a bit of extra time.
Once one end of the warp is secured in a knot, and the other pulled to create tension in the warp (however you want to accomplish this--I use a backstrap technique), you can start worrying about the direction in which the threads come through the cards.
Often, these threading directions are referred to, respectively, S and Z threading. I find these terms counterintuitive, so I don't use them, but many find them helpful.
When the "S" tablet is turned 90º toward the weaver, it creates a stitch that bends to the left. Correspondingly, when the "Z" tablet is also turned a quarter-turn toward the weaver, it will create a stitch that bends to the right.
A side benefit of the installation piece is an abundance of thread left over from the strips, these are hung for the birds to use for nesting material.

Thick thread stitches
from the Cactus Queen
meant to mend
but instead
poked and fashioned
fancy flesh tunnels
for her hungry worm hoards
to hide within
such a sin
cunning, crazy Cactus Queen
desert witch doctor
waits in moonlit sand
longing for an outstretched hand
-G. Loew
I've walked by this container of tatting thread hundreds of times, but it never seemed like a subject for photography until the sun shone on it yesterday.

... for longevity.
3 1/2 metres of red silk thread for 3 1/2 generations. One of the essentials for the Chiu Tau ceremony (the coming of age ceremony) on the eve of the wedding for the Peranakans. The tread to wish the bridal couple a long life of 3 1/2 generations. Picture taken during a shoot to have accompanying slides for a talk by an expert on things Peranakan next Tuesday
Rubi Perle 8, size 20
I got this on eBay a couple of years ago. It's really pretty and shiny, but the balls are only 40 meters. I've got a zillion of them so am going to try to work them in somehow.
for a little joke in central.
things that bug me:
1.) people overusing the word "censor." they seem to use it like a shield. i don't buy it half the time.
2.) lack of humor. it goes both ways. admins need to have a sense of humor. group members need to have a sense of humor. if more people took themselves less seriously, we'd all be much happier.
