Friday, May 18th, 2007Macro course week #3
Thursday, May 10th, 2007This week playing with a light box and also doing some experiments with a studio flash and a softbox.
The light box was “daylight” balanced, however there were fluorescent and tungsten lights around the room that may have interfered now and then. I generally used an exposure that was 2 stops overexposed judging by the camera’s light meter.

Macro course week #2
Thursday, May 3rd, 2007More playing with liquids and food colouring this week. This one was a bit hit-and-miss.
The set up was a camera on a tripod with a Speedlite flash set on “multi” or “strobe” setting. Camera was ISO 100, 125th second, and f/16. Shutter was set to continuous shoot. My camera only manages 3 frames per second, and doesn’t have a very big buffer before it has to write to the memory card.
The liquid was milk with food colouring in it. Drips were allowed to fall by turning a tap on some glass equipment that looked liked it came out of a school’s chemistry lab.
I took nearly 300 photos but still not satisfied with the results.
Later on a played around with a studio light and softbox to take some pictures of shells. I’ll try and get a bit more arty next week.

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007365 Days Photo Project
Thursday, March 29th, 2007Having just started using Flickr, I’ve been lured into joining the 365 days project. The idea is that you take a self portrait every day for a year. Just what a self portrait consists of is a bit loose - anything as long as you took the photo and it contains a bit of you.
You can see my efforts here. Days when I have more time I’ll try and be a bit creating/experimental. Other days there will probably just be a quick picture of me at my desk.
