Nice view on Black

Last Saturday, I did a major room clean up. I found in a corner, under a giant pile of dust, a box that contained my two cuddly toys. Lots of souvenirs came to my head! I think everyone can’t forget their little baby toys :) This is crazy, this little bear has 22 years old… like me! He saw me grow until we put it in that box haha. So, to gain his forgiveness, I did a photo tribute to my white bear!

I know I’m still behind in my 52 weeks project (Damn!). I’ll try to catch up and at the same time, taking my time to take awesome pictures. I don’t want to rush this and fill it up with 52 crappy captures. :)

Funny facts :
- I write too much…
- I have braces since.. today! :(
- I’ve lost all my CTO gel (&*!@ !!)
- The hot-shoe for my SB-600 is broken! So I can’t use my flash tripod (&*!@ !!)

About the picture
I did some minor correction (Brightness, clarity, contrats, fill light, black, etc) in Adobe LightRoom2. After that, in Photoshop, I played a bit with the level and curves. I used Color Efex Pro in PS with the Tonal contrats and Glamour glow preset. I played with the opacity of both layer until I liked the result. Merge all my layers and applied bit of sharpening and noise reduction.

Strobist Info :
SB-24 front right @ 1/16 power /w collapsed reflective umbrella
SB-600 camera left pointing in my kitchen (lying on the couch)… @1/2 /w indigo gel
Nikon D80 /w 50mm @ f/2.5 1/80 ISO200
Triggered with my lovely Cybersync :) !

Camera Rig (just getting started…haha)

Update: This photo was taken a while back and the amount of camera gear I have has grown by leaps and bounds (not sure yet if this is a good or bad thing). You can see the new gear photo by going here.

Original Desc: Well here it is, my camera gear…all indivudally noted and all strewn out for the world to see. 90% of it was bought in the last 10 months. It all fits in the camera bags at the top and the bags are normally packed to the brim with the gear.

My wife is a very patient and kind soul but I think I’m at the limit for a good long while, when I was arranging this stuff on the bed to take photo of it in our guest room she just about snapped seeing everything laying there. If I buy much else I will probably be justifiably shot, so if I stop suddenly posting to Flickr you’ll know I likely got a new piece of gear and was subsequently killed.

I enjoy a number of hobbies (music, cars, cycling, camping, boating, technology and more), but one of the things I like about photography is it’s a hobby that can be incorperated into every other hobby and aspect of life. In photography I’ve found something that I really, really enjoy and is a way I can have a semi-creative outlet for my soul. But as cool as photography is, music is still my main passion and I think that’s the way it will always be…

NOTE: This photo made it into Flickr’s ‘Explore" as one of the top five hundred most interesting photos on a particular day. You can see all of my photo’s that have made it into the Flickr Explore pages here.
