Pixel Darkroom Photography

We have discovered here that the closer the mirrors are, the more people you see in the mirrors. We have also discovered that if you tell your subject to look at the camera, he’s not going to know at which camera to look. Fun.
Strobist info: on camera 580 EX (II?) bounced into ceiling.

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.

Today we went and visited some great friends where we had dinner. Jacob makes an amazing Caesar Salad and while he was preparing it, I was playing with the candles that Claudia arranged on the table and was working on getting today’s shot. When he was done, I put the salad on the table instead, bounced a flash on the ceiling and had this shot by the fourth frame. The “original” shot is somewhere else. It’s interesting how I like the non setup stuff better. I like the mix of colours here – candle light with bounced flash. I’ll talk about color temperature some other time. Suffice it to say that the candle light appears very very warm, while the flash, which is supposed to imitate daylight appears much cooler when combined with candle light in the same frame.
Here goes Caesar Salad à la Jacob. Day 87.
