365.221 Ohne Titel (700 Fail)

I got an early start on the 365 shooting today, messing around with food coloring again, when the SB-700 decided to do it’s periodic lock-up thing. Oh well. No big deal: power off (which appears to do nothing), pop open the battery door, wait a couple of seconds, close the battery door, power on, and …

365.220 Abstraktes Bild

So I tried playing around with food coloring and water this afternoon… Short answer: I need a larger container, preferably with reasonably flat sides. I won’t go into the long story, even though it was mostly fun… But I still learned a few things, and there are passages of this particular photograph and a couple …

365.219 closer

Almost. I got some others that went too far.

365.218 The New Oil/Crosswalk to Nowhere

365.217 heat and mania

365.216 between Planck and Inflation, perhaps

Big thanks to Rob Weiher over at G+ for pointing out the fabulous light-manipulating properties of the LensBaby! I took a cosmology course at the community college many years ago, and I’m often surprised by 1) how much I remember from that class (like Planck), especially given how long ago it was and how much, …
