Just my thoughts about photography at the time.

Time Lapse.

Now that Flickr accepts video, (causing alot of people plenty of angst apparently) I thought I would try one myself.

It was cut short due to some rain, but I intend to do some more in the not to distant future.

A few people have asked how I did it. Well, it wasn’t exactly high tech. I just sat beside the camera, mounted on the tripod, attached the remote shutter release and clicked it every 10 seconds or so. Apparently you can tether the camera to a laptop and have the computer control it, but where is the fun in that?

1st Frame of my 1st film developed right here at home.

Yes, it is true, I have joined the film brigade. I have 4 film cameras, 2 of which I was given, and 2 I got off eBay. I have bought all the chemicals and the gear needed to develop to a negative. I also got myself a cheapo film scanner. The frame in this post is the 1st frame from the 1st film I developed at home. Looking forward to doing more soon.

Drops

Water drops have always seemed to hard to get photos of, but now I know, it isnt that hard at all. Good light, nice drops and a macro lens is all you need to produce the goods.

Canon 5D, Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens and 24mm Extension tubes.

Lunar Eclipse August 2007


Lunar Eclipse August 2007, originally uploaded by norbography.

What is quickly becoming my most popular photo on Flickr, is the lunar eclipse 2007.

Was certainly interesting taking the photos. I had some time to fine tune the process prior to the eclipse starting. It was surprising just how dark it got once the moon was half shadowed by the earth.
