I went to Wikipedia and looked up the various planets referenced in the _Dune_ series, didn’t find any that made reference to multiple suns, realized that, having never read any of the novels, and not seen the film since 1995 or 1996, that I’m not anywhere near Geek enough to reference an obscure Dune planet …

365.66 Proof of Concept (with outtakes)
So I used the Light Pipe I made earlier today to create a Beauty Dish-ish type of thing. The fresh (and really bad) haircut didn’t do me any favors here, but this was really more of a proof-of-concept project than anything else. I didn’t take any in process shots. Apologies. But I just cut a …
The Light Pipe
I’ve been back on my homemade trail mix kick of late, and picked up a container of Sunsweet Plum Amazins* to add to the mix this week. The chopped-prune raisin-type things are tasty enough, and will add a nice bit of sweetness (plus some fiber and nutrients) to the trail mix, but what I was …

365.40 Multeh Bokeh
On with my experiments in multiple exposure. This time: testing what happens when multiple exposures meet shallow depth of field. I started out with a still life of sorts, but quickly noticed that these beads made some great bokeh, so I got rid of everything else and focused on the beads. Or, rather, focused on …
365.36 His Nobs
Homage JPB This took a long honking time for a quick after-work shoot. Jeez. I started out just wanting to play with flash some… then I needed a second light (enter the DIY SoftBox-Type-Thingy from several weeks ago)… then I needed a third light (hello bedside lamp)… then I needed to change the setup, bring …
