Bottom Up: 1

This was taken with my new Rolleiflex Automat. I was looking up at the sky and the clouds were full and fluffy, I wanted to record something simple but interesting.

The Visible Knife

This is a photo taken using the Harris Shutter Effect, following up on my trichromy (a.k.a. technicolor) experimentation. The Harris Shutter effect is basically trichromy with one colour channel purposely changed to give a technicolor “artifact” or ghosting effect.

The colour effect here was achieved with 4 exposures of black and white (Ilford Pan F 50 Plus) film with separate RGB filters and a no-filter shot to compensate for the filter sharpness. Each shot was then superimposed (digitally in my case) in the respective R/G/B colour channel.

You can see this on my flickr account as well as my other trichromy photos by clicking the image.

A photo I took on the waterfront right off of Montreal with fellow photographer and subject Emilie Olson.

Lighting 101

I just learned about a really cool photography lighting site called Strobist. It’s basically hundreds of tips, tutorials, and DIY’s to get professional results with the least gear possible, as well as the least $$$. This is great for the starving student thing I got going on. That’s also a reason I usually only shoot nature landscapes. I found this really informative "basics of lighting" video I thought I’d share, it’s one of the first links in Strobist’s Lighting 101 article. Enjoy.

Now I have a reason to go find my SpeedLite that’s hiding somewhere in my room.
