SELFIES 2 the project continues...for now.

PARDON MY CLOUDS I'll be honest… I know looking at clouds is akin to watching vacation slides. It's a terrible cliché, and everyone does it at some point or another and expects everyone else to view them. I think its just that they're so darn fun to shoot, and maybe just a bit less so sometimes to view. Today  was an amazing day–clear skies, cool autumnal weather as I lay on my freshly prepared deck. I fired a few, and added them to my pack of cloud pics. Enjoy (or loathe if you prefer).

My son creates these small paper sculpture-creations using the remnants of tissue rolls. The sphere is from the cardboard tube, and the cube is from some of the tissue. They are really unique texturally.

I shot them on a reflective black surface using an inexpensive LED shoplight, overcast daylight ambient, and a white reflector (all played fairly nicely together). Used the ubiquitous"kit lens" (18-55mm, f4) for the 'macro'/closeups with the inexpensive Photodiox tubes. The Canon "nifty-fifty" provided the other shots.

How it's done

"SUPERMOON" last night (7/11/14).

Took some with a clear sky easily the last full moon. THIS TIME... played with ISO (some are up to 3200) and a variety of shutter speeds. Figured aperture needed to be f22-322 (maybe flawed logic?). Anyone have tips on this for getting the detail in the clouds and the details in the moon? Seems you expose for one or the other? (note: these are lower res JPG also).  I didn't want to composite in PS, nor did I want to shoot HDR. Didn't think ND filter would do anything either.

Plastic shopping bags have become a fixture of modern life, but despite their convenience, their impact on the environment is tough to ignore. 

In his Plastic Bag Landscapes series, photographer Vilde Rolfsen draws attention to the issue by using colored lights to transform the bags into abstract images. See the rest below!
