A second set of attempts (see 365.15 for the first set…) to capture my right eye with a reversed 75-150, this time with flash to minimize the effects of the eye shake focus, but still fail. I tried reversed, reversed with 52mm of extensions, reversed with 104mm of extension, and mounted straight, but with 104mm …

365.90 Part III: Bad 1970s Concert Poster
(See Part I and Part II) Just for kicks, I decided to copy the original and see what Topaz Labs had to offer the 365 today… I thought about writing down all the presets I went through, but thought I would remember and was sure I wouldn’t mess around too long… and 5 or 6 …

365.90 Part II: Girl’s Best Friend
(See Part I for more information) And so the adjustments began with my usual pulling back exposure, pumping black point, messing with brightness, and a slight tweak of the saturation, I decided to see what full desaturation looked like… nice, but missing something. So I returned saturation to its original point, and tried out various …
365.90 Part I: the Orignal
In honor of the 3 full Months I’ve been on this now, today’s 365 project comes in 3 parts… Part 1: the Original D7000. 24mm f/2.8 ai, reversed, on 104mm of extensions, and mounted on a GorillaPod and attempting to focus on the dust on the MacBook Pro, when I scooched when I should’ve leaned …
365.89 Abstraktes Bild
After making 150-odd pictures with the 24mm f/2.8 ai, reversed and on 104mm of extension, and having extreme difficulty with composition and framing, and cursing the quick grip ball head and its extreme lack of precision (and actually quite desperate for a wider angle), I went back to the old standby: the 75-150mm f/3.5 E …
365.88 Longboarding UTD
From the UTD Photowalk/Hipstamatic recipe test with momma this morning, and born out of much grinding of teeth and horrible fear, this photo was shot with Hipstamatic on an iPhone 4. I used the Loftus lens and Big Up film, and this kid knew I was shooting him. I stood in on spot, phone raised …
UTD Campus Photowalk and Hipstamatic recipe tests
Took a walk around the UTD campus with momma this morning, and decided all spur-of-the-moment like to take only the iPhone and give Hipstamatic a workout. Dan Cristea (@Konstruktivist) recommended some lens/film combinations at LoFiMode that I wanted to test out, and see how my only ‘favorited’ combination (the new-ish Loftus lens (from the Foodie …
