Old Photos The Top Shot Was Me Experimenting A Bit With Strobe: Softbox/umbrella mixed. The Intent
old photos the top shot was me experimenting a bit with strobe: softbox/umbrella mixed. The intent was to do photos ala the "long form" interview head shots. Digital, used the T2i, 55mm. Funny, because the subject is the same person as the bottom shot.
Bottom shot was taken with a medium format twin-lens Rolleicord. I believe 93 or 94? Reflective metered. I developed it in a darkroom (kids--remember to ask your parents about "darkrooms" and "chemical stabilization"). The photo was lost years ago, but not before I scanned it on an old 300ppi desktop scanner. I wish the scan was a bit better.

This looks amazing and delicious and exactly like something I could actually make!
Experiment Water droplets. One of my sons jokingly quipped that this could be done with paint, milk, or pigs blood. I used water and a glass pyrex dish that I could slide paper under (which accounts for the pyrex logo in every shot…sigh…should've used an unbranded dish or a plastic container).
I also used colored paper as flash reflectors, and an off-camera YN560II flash aimed at the paper. Used another reflector opposite (almost camera-left) angled a bit. Had some ambient daylight as well.
You need to manually focus on the point where your water droplets fall (AF won't lock in on it otherwise) and use a tripod. I shot at sync speed (1/200 for Canon consumer-end) manual flash, 1/4 to 1/2 for most shots.
You'll get the feel for your flash and camera on this exercise. It is ALL timing. The coveted "crown splash" shot (top) was literally in 3–4 out of over 170 shots.
Want to try again sometime with constants (my LED hardware store light and a few Fluorescent clip lamps).

jjhart93.tumblr.com asked some cheaper alternatives to Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, I found these, well to be honest, I just went to Wikipedia and check which ones worth the download effort and put a link to them, check them out:
Ability Photopaint
ACD See
PhotoImpression 6.5...
SELFIES 2 the project continues...for now.
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.
OLD SLIK broke up. Got this today via UPS. Looking froward to using it… thing is built like a tank! Not the BENRO, MANFROTTO, or GITZO I'd like, but very solid so far.
