365.60 …Lest the Flames Consume Me

So I made some modifications to the CerealBoxStripBox(tm) last night: added a detachable snoot to help aim the strip a bit better. I’ll probably need to make a new one when I finish the next box of cereal, as this one has a few issues with spillage that are rather bothersome. Anyway. I was planning …

365.58: the Outtakes

Outtakes from yesterday’s 365 shoot… Many are multiple-exposures, some are accidents, and most show strong evidence of the 75-150mm E Series and its notorious zoom creep. I’m not sure what I expected from having the camera in such a strange orientation, but the 75-150 will be forever (if lovingly) known as ‘The Creeper.’ I fired …

365.58 Abstraktes Bild

Well, I could write a novel about today’s shoot, or I could just post the shot and its general setup notes… There are about 15 interesting shots from today, some purposeful (like this one), some entirely accidental, and I started with a rather insane setup, so I may make an outtakes post later tonight or …

365.57 Ohne Titel (and a friend…)

I made 150-odd photos today, trying (in vain) to capture a macro version of yesterday’s optical illusion with the crayons. I got some interesting-enough shots, so groovy. All were shot with the D7000, Nikon 75-150mm E Series, Reversed, on 49mm of extension tubes, and at ISO100. The runner up (see below) was taken from about …

365.56 Optical Illusion

The idea for this came quickly, but took many tries to execute (poorly). It looks better as a thumbnail, fyi. D7000, 75-150mm f/3.5 E Series at 150mm (225mm equivalent), ISO100, 1/10th, f/16, SB700 at 1/4 power, zoomed out to 28mm set to it’s wide beam setting, about 3 feet from the subject maybe 10 inches …

365.55 Wino (3rd Attempt): Take it Easy…

I’ve been sober for almost 2 years. But some days, I really feel like tying one on… Maybe tomorrow. For now, though, it’s clean up the mess I made making this mediocre (at best) picture, then it’ll be dinnertime (it’s already way past…), and then time to relax so I can have a good night’s …
