New Studio Strobes and other toys...

I realized it's been quite some time since i've made a post, and I have made a couple fun purchases since my last post, so i decided to update you a little. I purchased 2 1600 watt alienbee studio strobes, some of the cheap ebay wireless flash triggers, and a "digital" holga lens (basically just the holga lens glued onto a canon body cap... cheap, but fun nonetheless!) I figured I ought to post some new pictures up so you could give them a look!

The alienbees test shots:

This is Olivia's latest look, I'm getting this smug expression on a daily basis now, oh ten year old sisters. :)

And the Holga lens:

I know it's a little noisy, but it was dark by the time the mail came, so I had to play around with it indoors with the iso turned up real high, notice the sweet spot is through the center and top-center of the pictures with the nice holga-esque dropoff very evident everywhere else. I'm quite pleased with the lens! It definitely turns my very expensive DSLR images into very cheap looking Holga replicas :)

Oh Seattle...

Gasworks park & a full moon, make for a nice combination. I love my city.

because people take pictures of each other...

Photographs of Summer, through the lens of a new DSLR :)

we've gone a'wandering

Camera in hand, we wandered down to the piers, looking for some kind of adventure. We found some gulls, the market, and about a dozen strung out hobos. Great.

craftivity... monday?

Well, this is going to be a quick post. Tonight troy and i found instructions online for how to make wide angle and fisheye lenses for a point and shoot camera. Since materials were cheap, and since i don't really have any fun photographic toys at the moment, troy and i decided it was in our best intrest to make one of these contraptions. Here is a sample photo, tomorrow i'm going into Seattle, so i'll get to try out it's full potential downtown.

last week in rexy.

Well, as graduation has come and gone i've been left wondering where the time went? man it really flew by! So in the last week or so before i left i really tried to cram a lot in... i barely slept. My life basically consisted of homework, packing and cleaning, and social activities. it was a great week. a full week. so what do i have to show for all these shenanegins? hmmm. would you like to see some great photos? here you go.

Arial and times are disgusting, why not other options?

more pictures. less time. more stress. less money. worst pattern ever, at least more pictures are good.

panoramas

Today i did some panoramas, the weather was pretty warm so i decided to go out and photograph, i photograph near the potato cellars quite a bit, there's some great volcanic rock and stuff a little further down the road but that will have to wait for another day to make it into a post. Maybe after the snow has melted down a little more.

adventures of late january

some updates.

i haven't done much lately with the break and all, but i'll get back to it. This was a present i worked on for my mom, i did one of all us kids and then the family one as well.
