Pixel Darkroom Photography

You see something and wonder if you can catch the details. I had to put a flash behind this leaf, and all you see here is the leaf lit from behind. Entirely. Some things can only be seen with the naked eye though. I like the image, and wish I had a lady bug to put on top or something, but I still like the way it looks. It’s like seeing the veins of a plant. Here’s Day 318. Tomorrow I have to fillet the salmons.

I thought about photographing an eye. I couldn’t believe how easy it was. This is my first shot today. I made another one of my daughter and I can see myself even more in that one. If we could only see ourselves more through the eyes of our children.

Strobist info: 580 EX II @ 1/2 on a justin clamp, camera left pointing straight up to the ceiling (light patch visible in the reflection), triggered with Pocket Wizards. Minor tweaks in Lightroom.

With the coming of the spring there are so many things and places that change because of blooming flowers. They all go away so quickly as well. I found these in the same place where I shot my first photo from this project. I like this image because it’s so simple.

Canon 1.4 50mm prime with +7 close up diopters. Small tweaks in Lr.
