Pixel Darkroom Photography

Time plus matter plus chance, or in other words the collision of colored rubber bands. The matter is already prepared here, the time is very short and the chances are slim. What do you see here? Let me know in the comments below.

Strobist info: 580 EX CL with coroplast snoot/grid at 1/8th power, zoomed to 105 mm, triggered via Pocket Wizards. Shot at f/something (low aperture) to get a whole bunch in focus.

Time.

Strobist info: 2×580 EX II via infra red trigger in two groups (A+B). One 580 EX II with 3 gels (2 blue gels on one half and one red gel on the other half) and the other 580 EX II bare. Stuck the pages together with magnets and covered the cover with a black foam. I left the setup shot in full color here so you can see that I didn’t tweak anything in Ps. Small dust spots removed in Lr. Shot with +2 diopter filter over a 50 mm prime. In case you didn’t know what this is, it’s a book. A “Tell the Time with Thomas” book by Christopher Awdry.

This is the setup I used today in the park for a bunch of free portraits. It was an interesting experience. A bunch of people stopped by, a bunch of people ran away. Well, not really… but they politely declined.
