Another ‘amazing circle’
Here’s yet another example of the technique to turn an image inside out, described in my post of 25 November. The starting image was the watch shown in my ‘1 cent ring flash’ post (8 Dec 09). Can you figure out what the time was, before you look back at that original image?
Signs of Christmas!
We know that Christmas is almost upon us when our Pohutukawa tree starts to flower. It almost always times it so that it is covered with scarlet blooms by Christmas Day. This year the tree looks like it will have a great display.
Turn your popup flash into a ring flash
Here’s a technique for close-up photography which could save you hundreds of dollars. It’s possible to get results as good as a ring flash using only a sheet of white paper!
Closeup photography: Ronnie G is the gold standard
For several years now I have been following the work of a Louisana photographer, Ronnie Gaubert. In my opinion he sets a standard in macrophotography for all of us to aspire to. You can find his galleries on the pBase photo sharing site: here is his “Nature of Louisiana”. At latest count, his galleries presenting the wildlife and nature scenes of Louisiana have scored a little over 5 million page views (more than 10 times mine on pBase!). He has been very willing to share his techniques with others, e.g. in the DPReview discussion forums. I am sure this is another reason why he has so many admirers. This is one of his images, uplifted with permission from his gallery “IT’S A SMALL WORLD by Ronnie Gaubert” .
