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.

In your face! is what this feels like to me, even though I was smiling somewhat kindly. It feels weird to be photographed so closely. Imagine the huge banners in the malls where you can almost see the amino-acids from the cells of the models faces. Brrr… I can promise you this is about as close of a shot you’ll get from me. I’ll back off now.

Strobist info: 580 EX II x2 at 1/4 zoomed wide via PW CL and CR through white umbrellas. Oh, I also held some sort of white foam bouncer to through some light under the cap.

New technology… old technology. It’s raining again so I didn’t feel much like going outside. There goes the close up shot for day seventy eight…

Strobist info: 580 EX via PW at 1/128th very close to the RAM. I used +7 diopter filters on a 50 mm prime. Setup shot here.
