I was looking for some sort of nice surrealistic title, something from a de Chirico painting or something, or maybe a nice Fire Marshall Bill quote, but I couldn’t find anything that fit. Today’s 365 was brought to you by the 75-150mm E Series (not reversed, and not on 49mm of extensions), zoomed in to …

365.20 Ivan vs. the LensBaby
I was feeling a bit worn out, creatively speaking, and had no idea what I wanted to shoot for the 365, so I strapped on the LensBaby and forced myself to shoot around. And I ended up with this nice shot of Ivan, and it marks two firsts for the 365! 1) it’s the first …

365.17 Entropy
Find a Penny, Pick it Up, and All the Day, You’ll Have Good Luck! I don’t know if that applies to these pennies, which have seen far, far better days. I may try this again at some point, and make these pennies more imposing, have them hover over something, like the coming of the aliens …

I really like the double-exposure-ish effect in the Rodney ZX9 camera, but can totally do without the rainbow brite light leak. Hopefully the slider controls the leak intensity only, and leaves the double exposure intact. Further testing will ensue, at some point… A note: it takes a loooong time to transfer the pics from …
