David's Project 365
Re: David's Project 365
Half a dozen images uploaded today, hopefully I can add more tonight.
#240 - Cocktail II
After doing the French-inspired one yesterday I thought this might work - quite pleased how it turned out.

Re: #232 - Wild Red
davidc wrote:I really like red squirrels and this is already one of my favourite shots of the year so far. Not only are they fellow gingers but I did a project on them as a kid. They are now extremely rare, the "imported" greys bringing parasites and aggression that has forced them into isolated locations in the north.
Seeing one in the wild - and even better getting a picture I love - was a real treat.

I also like this one, Dave, and you took full advantage of your good fortune. I have only ever seen one red squirrel in the wild, but unfortunately light levels were a tad low and my camera equipment at the time could not really cope. No image stabilisation and a low shutter speed resulted in some just visible camera shake.

Re: #230 - Sea Pigeon
davidc wrote:This is not a seagull. After visiting the beach near Cardiff and spotting a seagull swooping around with a fish in it's mouth I pointed it out to my wife.
She claimed it wasn't a seagull but in fact a pigeon. You know, those famous, huge, white pigeons that live in the sea.
I will be pointing out sea pigeons to her for a long time to come. I think she's lived in London too long.
(This is also a "bird in flight". Just FYI )

LOL! Reminds me of the time when my son, who was quite young at the time, was very excited to see "ducks" in the garden one morning. Wood pigeons!
This is well captured, with the posture of the "pigeon" and its sharpness really making the shot. That said, I am a bit uncertain about the positioning of the bird on the right and the use of negative space. In some ways I quite like it, but in other ways I would prefer a bit more on the right and a bit less on the left to align the centre of the subject on the golden section.

Very clever. Ice cubes?

Another clever shot. How did you set up the split lighting effect?
Re: David's Project 365
Thank you - and the setup is dead easy. The background is white mount board, half covered with black cloth, and lit from beneath by my flash. The way the glass & water refracts the light produces the split lighting effect. I stood it on a mirror as well to further increase the effect. It's basically the same concept as what I did with the French flag themed one the day before. In the case of the french one, the red glass behind and to the left refracts around to be on the right side and vice versa for the blue.
Also our wine glasses have the little square "dimples" you see at the top which cause even more refraction
So no camera trickery or odd setup, just playing about with the light This is an example of one of those setups I'd like to explore more but in the interests of keeping the 365 as different as possible I'm moving on until next year.

Thanks for those explanations. Quite amazing how such relatively simple setups can be so effective.

Very effective David. I hope I'm not on holiday when you demonstrate all that clever stuff at the club.
