I’m writing this sitting in the departures lounge of Gatwick south terminal. We’re off on holiday for a week to Rhodes. Happily, unlike last year, all the computers at checkin were working, and the flight is (thus far) on time.
I’m not quite sure what we’re going to do or see, but if I can, I’ll post here if we get up to anything interesting.
Here are a few more pictures from the lightbox session a couple of weeks ago.
If there are any lightroom users out there, could you tell me if you get differences in brightness between what you see in lightroom, and exported jpgs? I see the images as quite a bit brighter in lightroom and it’s driving me nuts!
As always, constructive criticism welcome!
I’ve been playing around with my home-made lightbox (see earlier post), and have been taking pictures of some flowers that I got (with permission!) from my parent’s garden. I’m no horticulturist (and not much of a photographer, either!), but here are a couple of examples. Let me know what you think. Any photographers out there, please feel free to give a critique and suggestions – I am very much learning as I go.
I thought it was time to revisit my blog – look out for some more pictures from the light box soon!
I’m also having a play with linking this blog with my twitter feed – doing some research for another project that I am about to get involved in…
Paul just sent me through a link to this video – showing what OM is doing through teams from Logos Hope.
Logos Hope is in the UK this summer! The scheduled port dates are listed below:
Edinburgh 1-14th April
Belfast 29th April – 12th May
Cardiff 27th May – 9th June
London 11-29th June
More info can be found at http://www.hopestartshere.info/
It’s well worth a visit if you get the chance. It’s very unlikely that Logos Hope will be in the UK again in the near future – don’t miss out!
After seeing a former colleague’s photos on facebook, I thought I would have a go at making a light tent. I followed the instructions here: http://digital-photography-school.com/how-to-make-a-inexpensive-light-tent, which were dead easy and didn’t require anything more complicated than cutting and sticking!
Here’s what it looks like:
It’s not pretty, for sure, but it is quite effective. I’ve been using it to take pictures of a couple of watches that I own. Here are a couple of examples:
