banjon > Day 351 - Cold As Ice

Had some fun with ice cubes and a crystal glass tonight.  The ice cubes were still opaque a few minutes after taking them out of the freezer.  I banked the flash upward onto a downward facing white board to help light up the ice and inside of the glass.  Adjusted the height of the flash as not to light the black foam core board on the bottom.  The camera was aimed directly above the glass.

I really have to get some gobo stands. Pillows and contorting my body works for now. hehe :)

banjon > Day 353 - Blue Water

Droplets in a water bottle - slightly out of focus.  
I like the different lines in the droplets, some appear to have been moving.

banjon > Day 342 - Flute Keys

I always liked the mechanical parts of a flute.  How they all work together.

A nice hand painted plate we came across one day.  We really liked the colors and pattern.

banjon > Day 339 - Pickin' and a Grinnin' 

Lots of colorful picks laying around. I thought they might make a colorful mix.

I like trying different pick thicknesses to see how they affect the sound. The 73's really give a nice punch, and the 58's are more for leads and speed.  The picks are almost pointed brand new, but after hours of picking, they round out which is a good thing if you like to drag and slide the pick for some nice effects.

banjon > Day 337 - Two Paths

Barb picked up a ruler a few months back. I always liked the color and the way the light shone through it.  Living most of my life in the US where Imperial Measurements still rule (hehe good pun), I never saw a ruler that was just metric. I was taken back a bit at first... wow no inches!  :)

I learned TV media really work those big numbers to death here.  Holy Smokes!  Its going to snow 30 centimeters!  30cm = 1ft.  Then they bring out the big guns, or little ones, millimeters for some extra sensationalism.  Watch for 50mm tomorrow - hehe that 2 inches. Those meteorologists always trying to pull a fast one.  


Setup:  The ruler is  elevated by bottom edge about 3 inches above the flat surface.  Back lighting is used to illuminate the transparent ruler.  Then I add a sheet of white paper under one edge of the ruler  allowing it to flow down to the flat surface - like a hill side flowing into the valley.  Applying different inclines gets different effects. :)

banjon > Day 332 - Mystic Reflection

The water had a near stillness, only a very slight current, which made the reflection look like a fresco painting. 
Plus I loved the color of the sky and partial trunk reflections.
