Project 365 Day 82: Call Of The Wild [explored!]


23-03-10 So my journey into strobism continues. This shot had me really scratching my head I knew what I wanted to achieve but I wasn't sure how to but after playing around with the lighting and a little bit of post production I was happy with the result.

Strobist...
YN-460 II @ 1/2 power | Amber Gel | beneath the table shooing at the rear wall
YN-460 II @ 1/2 power | Red Gel | Camera Right aimed at ceiling
ISO 100 | 1/160 | f8 | 50mm
Triggered by Cactus v4s

I was very happy with the colours the strobes had created but the elephant wasn't in shadow enough so I boosted the black levels in Lightroom which gave me a crisp silhouette, then reduced the saturation till I had the colours back. This strobist thing is fun! It also means I can shoot whenever I like and not have to worry about the light. Not sure this lens has been at f8 before!

This shot was inspired by .:shk:.'s shot from last night.

Other Inspiration:
Again today I had an idea for a shot and then went and took it. I usually stumble across what I photograph. This 365 is pushing me in the right direction I feel.

Project 365 Day 42: Silver Balls of Bokeh [Explored!]


11-02-10 Today was another day where I had to force myself to go and take pictures. Really didn't feel like shooting today, but I got out and walked around my local area looking for something to shoot. I found this. Its part of a wall/sculpture on Devonshire Green in Sheffield. I got a few strange looks when I was taking it but I'm getting use to that now. It's processed with one of the amazing cross processing presets in Colour Efex Pro and sharpened.

The Digital Silver Imaging blog have an interesting insight into a Pulitzer prize-winning photo that almost never got taken. I added their RSS feed to my reader too.
