Triangles, with a side of impending doom.

A high-contrast black and white image of a slanted black surface portraying a hillside, with smaller black triangles clustered together like a forest or city buildings. Additional black poster-board triangles have been folded partially and stood up, and a harsh spotlight makes them cast a long shadow, making them look like meteors with a long trailing shadow.

Behold, "Skate The Rainbow", my award-winning #Motion-themed photo. Tied for "Members Choice" with the 1st place winner in our semi-annual camera club show for the season.
Shot with a #NikonZ7II, developed in #Darktable, retouched a little in #Krita, and printed and framed at Live Free Print & Frame in New Hampshire. Boosts welcome, Scraping and AI training prohibited.

A photo of a metallic roller-skate streaking across the frame from left to right on a black background. I leaves a swooping trail of intermittent colored light dashes from the wheels, and a wing-shaped blur of varying colors from the iridescent boot material.

That door is totally a skull of some ancient thing.

For the local camera club's "Make it Square" monthly theme.

Seen from above, in a square image,on a white background sits a black plate with the points towards the edges. On that sits a smaller white bowl, aligned to the frame. The bowl is filled with milk, and has a checker board pattern of Chex cereal pieces. The rectangular pieces are rotated to match the plate, and alternate between light and dark colors. In top of the cereal site a spoon, with all the rounded edges squared off. In the spoon is a small pool of milk, and a single yellow round Fruit Loop.

"No AI" policy when?

Very nice

Since the Camera Club meeting the other night was about software I won't use, I spent some time playing around in the lobby with my #macro lens. Edited on @darktable@photog.social on #Linux.

A macro photo of large copper-colored piano wires, stretching diagonally across the frame. Other sets of wires run vertically in the background, and all are lit with a green light from behind.

A piano "plate" with strings installed, mounted on a wall. In front of it is a camera on a tripod, set at a close tilted angle. A mounting arm is attached to the tripod and has a pocket LED mounted on it, shining green light through the strings to bounce light off the background.

100%

Thanks! Mostly just a happy circumstance.

Excellent

Something for this month's camera club challenge theme "reflections". The style of image has been around for a while, but I wanted to increase the challenge a bit. Getting speedlights mounted on the backside of the trees was easy enough, and doing a reflection in post is trivial. So I said to myself: Can I do it in-camera? With some gear tricks, Yes. Could I do it on Film? Maybe? (Some other day, perhaps.)

Anyways, the trick to getting the reflection is pretty simple: Double exposure. Take the first shot with the upper half blocked with a black card. Take the second shot by tilting the camera up ~90 degrees, enable multiple-exposure mode with visibility of the first shot, place a mirror at 45 degrees in front of the lens, and then spend many minutes trying to get it all to line up just right. This probably took me around 90 minutes to accomplish. This edit uses the Out-of-camera jpg, with minor edits in @darktable@photog.social . (~straighten, crop, saturation, contrast.) There's also some BTS photos of the setup on my @benkramer@dice.camp feed.

I have other ideas for how to expand on this, like changing the flash colors between shots, adding different portraits to the mix (angel/demon split?), etc. With enough gear, planning, an patience, it's very possible.

A ground-to-ground mirrored photo of tree trunks at night, lit from behind with green flashes. At the bottom of the frame is leaf-covered forest floor, and tree trunks extending upwards to the center of the frame. From there, it is a reflection of the bottom half, resulting in the ground being at the top of the frame as well.

A shot from... almost 2 years ago (Shame on me) on a roll I finally got developed a month ago.

A view of a cream-colored two-story building serving as a Thai food restaurant, with a beautiful red El Camino car parked on the street directly in front.

Sarai found a cool dress in the Costume Department she manages, and asked me to do a Valentine's shoot with one of her horses.

A photo of a woman and her horse. She wears a deep red dress covered with embroidered red floral patterns, and a fur shoulder drape with black-tipped grey fur. Her horse stands behind her, with his neck bent around her shoulder and head in front of her on one side. One of her hands is on his nose, and the other on his neck just behind the jaw. The horse has red flowers adorning his headband and chest strap.

A quick snap this morning before leaving for work. Ghost absolutely loves when we have the fire going.

A white cat sits staring up towards a glowing woodstove barely a foot away, bathed in the orange light, with a dark background.

I've got a decent idea of what's on the rolls, but didn't recall what the rolls were. But yeah, it's been a while since a lot of the photos were taken.

Update: Kodak Ektar 100 in the Yashica, and Ilford HP5 Plus 400 in the Sprite.

I loaded these at least a year and a half ago. I don't even recall what film is in them. Forcing myself to get it processed despite not finishing the rolls.

A photo of two cameras. A red and black Ilford Sprite 35-II, and a Yashica Mat-124 G.

Took some gear into the woods last night.
Actually it was 6 feet from the road across the street from my house, but it was behind enough difficult brush that it may as well have been a hike.
