Outtakes from yesterday’s 365 shoot… Many are multiple-exposures, some are accidents, and most show strong evidence of the 75-150mm E Series and its notorious zoom creep. I’m not sure what I expected from having the camera in such a strange orientation, but the 75-150 will be forever (if lovingly) known as ‘The Creeper.’ I fired …

365.58 Abstraktes Bild
Well, I could write a novel about today’s shoot, or I could just post the shot and its general setup notes… There are about 15 interesting shots from today, some purposeful (like this one), some entirely accidental, and I started with a rather insane setup, so I may make an outtakes post later tonight or …
365.57 Ohne Titel (and a friend…)
I made 150-odd photos today, trying (in vain) to capture a macro version of yesterday’s optical illusion with the crayons. I got some interesting-enough shots, so groovy. All were shot with the D7000, Nikon 75-150mm E Series, Reversed, on 49mm of extension tubes, and at ISO100. The runner up (see below) was taken from about …
365.56 Optical Illusion
The idea for this came quickly, but took many tries to execute (poorly). It looks better as a thumbnail, fyi. D7000, 75-150mm f/3.5 E Series at 150mm (225mm equivalent), ISO100, 1/10th, f/16, SB700 at 1/4 power, zoomed out to 28mm set to it’s wide beam setting, about 3 feet from the subject maybe 10 inches …
365.55 Wino (3rd Attempt): Take it Easy…
I’ve been sober for almost 2 years. But some days, I really feel like tying one on… Maybe tomorrow. For now, though, it’s clean up the mess I made making this mediocre (at best) picture, then it’ll be dinnertime (it’s already way past…), and then time to relax so I can have a good night’s …
365.54 Wino (Second Attempt): One Too Many
Once again, not happy, but oh well. I’m not happy with much of anything today: nothing in the way of sleep last night… Oh well. I did mess around with this a bit: cloning, cropping, etc. D7000, 50mm 1.8, ISO100, 1/80th, F/1.8, snooted SB700 high camera right, aimed at the label, at ~1/64th power, iirc.
365.53 Wino (first attempt)
Even though I’m always already asleep by the time their Studio Photography Insights hangout starts, I’m still going to try my hand at Alex Koloskov and Dave Nitsche‘s weekly project. This is my first attempt (but not my last: the next will have to wait) at shooting this week’s assignment, an unopened bottle of red …
