Flickr are 21 years old (yesterday actually) and they are doing 21 days of themed images. Today’s theme is “dots”. I’ve done lots of this type of image, especially during the Black and White Unite series of shots when I used steel ball bearings on patterned paper to create images.
This was quite fun, using the defraction of an image in a water bubble to produce this shot. It only took 102 shots to get that just about central! Should have got the tripod out instead of doing it handheld. There’s a second version below that is a bit more
It was 11pm and I was just packing everything away to go to bed when I realised that I hadn’t taken the daily photograph, so I quickly grabbed this printed pattern and a ball bearing and photographed this. It wasn’t ’till I processed it that I spotted Homer Simpson…is this
On a bit of a run of these type of images at the moment, again, there’s an idea here, but I’m not sure I’ve executed it as well as I could. I do like these split black and white set ups though.
Continuing on a similar theme, this one turned out a bit too similar to the previous couple, but I made the mistake of updating Adobe Lightroom and it took an age to update, by which time I’d had enough…so this is what you get!
After yesterday’s consideration of the amount of ink it would take to print a dark version of one of these I thought “stuff it, to hell with the ink”! And made the dark background you see here. It reminded Debbie of a Madonna video, I’m not sure if that is
Back to preparing some backgrounds for these types of photographs. I originally had this as white dots on transparent background, but of course ink jet printers don’t print white and I didn’t really want to use all the ink that printing all that black background would take!
I only had to take 1 photograph for today’s shot, of the coffee cup. With a little bit of jiggery pokery in photoshop and throwing in some coffee beans from the shot a couple of days ago we get this zip style shot, which I’m quite pleased with. All the
I dug around in my little box of bits and pieces and found the cheapo coffee beans I got from the Co-Op back in January. Despite having been used in numerous photos and having been in an opened pack for all this time they still smell delicious…and they still make
Very much an extension/continuation of the pencil shot a couple of days ago. Having looked back at that shot I think it was a mistake making that a pure black and white shot. This time I have left the little bit of colour the wood gives you and i think
