my camera is telling me something

Image by tttaaaooo
my camera (powershot a95) was having some problem with its cc cell, that is it displays colour incorrectly. i was trying to take this shot with a super long exposure(about 15 sec). and this is what came out. absolutely no photoshop.

at that moment, i thought somehow this photo is very fitting to the installation. ( at the museum 'void' - Menashe Kadishman's steel sculpture "Shalechet" (Fallen Leaves))

it's a bit dark. but it's necessary.

My Shadow

I decided that this is my favorite shot from 2012. This is the year that I broke my main digital camera and shot entirely with an iPhone 3GS. The photo is from a 200K permanent randonneuring route in Oregon's Willamette Valley. As we headed back to Portland from McMinnville, the evening light was as close to perfect as I have ever experienced.

In 2013, it is my aim to greatly improve my photography. I'll be taking classes and shooting film (my grandfather gave me his Nikon FE2 a few years ago and it's time to learn to use it well) and trying to take pictures that tell better stories than my pictures from 2012. So maybe it's fitting that my best shot of 2012 features a shadow of myself and was taken while I was in motion towards a distant goal.

This is also the "A place" of my "City Slice" project.

台中酒廠頂樓的某個小房間。
有一天我們會在裡面種滿白鶴玉，看花瓣染成夕陽的顏色。

這也是「城市切片」計畫中的A地點；也許當物件被清空後，這些「切片」將回頭賦予空間意義。

My New Camera

My birthday is tomorrow, but my wife will be out of town. So she made me this cake today. I love that she did this. It was her first attempt at using foundant and I think it was harder than she thought it would be. My favorite part is that she created my 50mm lens on the camera and also my 100mm lens incase I needed to zoom in or get a macro photo.

Strobist: Vivitar 285hv at 1/4 power through softbox. It was positioned behind the cake - above the camera strap in the photo. I used two pieces of white poster board in front - directly under the camera - to help fill the shadows. Triggered with a Cactus V4.

My first taste of photography - 236/365

My freshman year of high school I was pulled into the photography class somehow. I'm not sure how or why it happened but I had fun with it. I didn't own a camera so the art teacher let me borrow his so I could take some photos. I only took 2 rolls worth of shots and this was one of mine from the first roll. The idea was to take a photo that showed one of your senses. This was my photo of taste. I asked my dad to help me and he just stuck out his tongue and I snapped this one off. It's not a great photo but that doesn't really matter. I'm not sure if my dad would pose like this again. He might. He enjoysmy photos so he just might help me out if I needed him for an assignment. Maybe I will have him pose for this shot again. This roll of film was my first and last roll of film I developed myself. That's right, the film was developed in the dark room. I was amazed it actually exposed properly. I tried to develop another roll and it turned out horribly. I also developed this photo. I have no clue where the negative is.

So this was my first real taste of photography. I didn't do anymore photography after this class. I ended up just getting into painting and drawing. I was never really that good but I somehow got into all the advanced classes. I think the teacher liked me so he just let me into the classes. No matter, I had lots of fun in those art classes and most of my friends were in there.

strobist info: flash camera left into a DIY beauty dish with a DIY white diffuser over it at 1/4 power.

My First HDR!

Image by Sam, W
Heres my first attempt at one of those HDR type things. Tried it first with photoshop, the effect was, well, pointless, didnt seem capable of bringing out all the colours. I'm sure this could have had a bit more twiddling but, well, its my first, used Photomatix (its printed all over the photo), Excellent bit of software!

Pinhole Camera 1

Pinhole Camera 1

A few months back, I decided I needed a challenge. I had found a PDF of plans online for a cardboard pinhole camera, so I set about making one. It involved a lot of modification, fine tuning etc., but it's now at the stage where it's ready to test.

Being a packaging designer has it's advantages. Also having access to this little programme helped no end.

Will post photos when I've figure this sucker out. :) (By the way, it uses medium format film.)
