Chalk, and Plumb

Just in case you’re wondering, what I’m having for breakfast…
This is what you get, putting a reversed 50mm in front of a 18-70mm. The nice thing: focussing works. The bad: You’ll get a cropped view. May work for some images.

Camera Info: Nikon D70 @1/125 ISO 200, Nikkor 18-70mm @70mm f4.5, reversed Nikkor 50mm @f1.8, SB-600 @ full power through white umbrella left, YONGNUO RF-602 RX triggers.

Panorama of 26 images, each of which consists of three exposures merged and adjusted in Photomatix (78 files total). My computer (dual core w. 4GB RAM) took 1.5 hours (!!!) for merging these together and I just wanted that perspective (think I’ll definitely have to consider purchasing some really wide lens)…

Camera Info: Nikon D70 @1sec (bracketing +- 2 EV), Nikkor 18-70mm @18mm/f16.

About the absurdity of a learning (with a wordplay that doesn’t work in english).

for you

I thought I’d keep this. My daughter wrote this onto the mirror of our bathroom for me a couple of days ago.

Oh, and happy birthday Mrs. Vintagekids.

This is Sparta!

Folks, I’m feeling better than for years! I’d give you some James Brown, but I’m not that much a fan of posting youtube stuff here, also I’d rather go with Monster Magnet today. Things have become a mess on this blog, but I just wasn’t that well. I’m cleaning up with that -finally- and it feels like a great year is rising up for me. I’m having an exam to be done next week, so don’t expect too much, until that is done. But I’ll clean up the code for this site soon, I was just in the mood to give changes a go right now. And I will definitely come up with some reasonable images again.

As it comes to the image:

I’m not that good at looking angry, but I’m feeling so well, it seems just almost impossible.

This image is of course inspired by the great flickr photostream of Dustin Diaz. Have a look around there, he does a great job on strobist stuff and is always a nice inspiration. And I’m a big fan of his image borders with text. I wouldn’t say, that I’d like to mess up all my photos with text like that, but this one was just impossible without it.

Wish you all a nice weekend and thanks for coming by…
