Tools of the trade. A case with some of our Hasselblad 500 C/M system, the classic work horse of many a photographer, up till the early 1990's. Still luv em but they don't get out much these days, although Magda regularly uses them in the studio.

So, what does the theory of evolution have to tell us about getting recognition as a photographer? There's a great essay on the subject over on the blog today bit.ly/XIYboO And hey look, it's a Selfie! (I look more like a cave-man than anybody else I know so it had to be me!)

It's always a delicate and not entirely reliable balancing act to use what this tool was before I added the cross-member that's resting on the vise covers. Bottle boss heads weren't always held square, housing stop alignment could shift and sometimes the stop would slide radially. The relatively heavy cross bar is a simple approach that anchors fixture alignment adequately and rectifies those sorts of problems. I'm very happy with it.

What I used for modelling the epoxy: Tamiya Smooth Type Epoxy and a set of cheap jeweller's waxworking tools. They're handy for smoothing and pushing crisp edges.
My original plan was to cut out shapes from rolled Epoxy and lay them over but that proved to be horrifically naive since I forgot Epoxy is sticky shit. I got the rough shapes out but had to do a lot of refining.
The high-end flash (HVL-56AM) has a strobe function meaning it can fire multiple flashes during one exposure.
I set it up to flash with a frequence of 30 hertz, so 30 flashes per second and to stop after 10 flashes.
This makes the total flash period 10/30 = 1/3 second. I set the shutterspeed of the camera to the same value.
I made several objects fall from a hight of about 2,5 meters.
Shots are best taken in a darkish environment so the flash is the only light source on the falling object.
Because the flash fires 10 times in theory you can get the object 10 times in the same frame. But then you have to get everything right:
1. Precise release moment.
2. Allowing time for the object to drop into the frame.
3. Have the object drop more or less straight down.
4. Finish the exposure before the object hits the ground or falls out of the frame.
I managed about 5 exposures.
In order to drop the object synched with the start of the exposure I used a remote control (wired) in combination with a timer delayed exposure. My timer delay (2 secs) gives 6 beeps before the exposure starts. Depending on the air-resistance of the object I let go on the 5th or 6th beep. It takes some practising but you´ll get the hang of it soon.
Camera settings full manual ofcourse.
Manual focus your camera first by holding the object still in the falling trajectory. AF is fast these days, but not that fast.
Exposure should be fully manual to. Shutterspeed is calculated from the flash frequency and number of flashes, it must not be shorter.
The amount of light is determined by the flash. I set mine to flash at 1/32 of maximum power. Times ten for a single exposure makes 10/32 = 1/3 of maximum output.
With this being predetermined you only have your aperature to control the exposure (ISO fixed at 100). Set it by trial and error.
Not perfect yet but it's fun trying.
i used a crochet quilt square that i thrifted at a garage sale a while back. added some ribbon and antique doilies. the fabric for the pockets has cute little girls on it.
Nothing 'inspirational' presented itself today, so instead I thought I would just concentrate on trying to get a good clean shot. This is a Leatherman pocket tool (like a Swiss army knife) I got for my husband for Christmas. He hasn't used it yet so it is still nice and shiny..
