Day 21 - Nope, not Captain Crunch!

Since the camera was still setup on the tripod from last night's session, I decided to continue playing with exposure. I left the lights on this time and chose Sadie's kibble as the subject. I set the exposure to 2 seconds, picked up a handful of kibble. After pushing the button I threw the kibble into the measuring cup. I thought it gave it an interesting effect. Kind of looks like the bottom of the cup is transparent and the kibble's underneath.

Day 20 - Ghost Change

Did some more playing with my macro and the Photo Soft Box Pro this evening. We have a little coin bowl we keep in the cupboard for when change is needed. I decided to take it out and see what I could get. The photo above is the result of setting the exposure time to 6 seconds and then throwing more coins into the container after about 2 seconds. The transparent coins are the ones that were thrown in after wards. I like playing with exposure this way and am always looking for new ways to do so. I'm open to suggestions if you have any.
Speaking of suggestions, thanks to all of you who gave me feedback on my signature. I have decided to change it but haven't time to really play with it. Hopefully, I'll get to that this weekend. For now I'm such using text on an overlay layer.

Day 218 - Water Lily at Last

Well, the hunt is finally over. I've been looking for pink water lilies EVERYWHERE. I've found lots of white ones and even pink ones that weren't open yet or hiding in the shade. I found this one today at Jardin Hamel, a garden place near home. I've done some playing with exposure etc. and I'm not sure it's exactly where I want it yet but here's where I'm at. Any ideas or opinions are more than welcome.
