Back to high-speed (I miss working in that niche indeed!). Something from the "pre-COVID" era. I made such a mess with this!
What's fascinating about high-speed, specially if you work without any aiding tools (like Gates or triggers), is that the experimentation becomes surreal somewhat, and the more you work with it, the more your eyes and hands get synchronized, and the more amazing moments you'd discover the more shots you make; and it gets wild with water specifically.
I've stopped posting shot info but for those interested or whatever:
- Canon EOS 7D.
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM.
- f/6.3.
- 1/8000 sec.
- ISO200.
- 580EXII, 430EXII.

Today I learned that the fire hazard of a house with a car is substantially more than that of a house with photovoltaic and house storage system and an electric vehicle, that is substantially more than a house with PV and HSS, that is more than a house with only PV, that is more than only a house with a base risk of 0.28%.

A bar graph starting at zero on the left with another bar graph on the right that is a zoom to the top, both showing for five different scenarios the fire probability per year risk in percent on the vertical axis. Those fire probability comparisons shows:
The risk for a house is 0.2800%, for a house with photovoltaic (PV) is 0.2814%, for a house with PV and home storage system (HSS) is 0.2863%, for a house with PV and HSS is 0.3073%, and for a house with an internal combustion engine (ICE) is 0.369%.

Part of a series I've made back in 2019, called it "Fire and Water". It was fun (and messy). Despite using the maximum shutter speed here (1/8000 sec), apparently this wasn't enough to freeze the motion of the water droplets - they were ejected from a syringe. It is such situations that call for working with "flash duration" instead of the typical HSS (or high-speed) mode in the speedlites. Unfortunately, back then my knowledge was limited, and till this very day, I don't think I can work with such method.

Specs for those who care about them:
- Canon EOS 7D.
- Canon EOS 100mm f/2.8 Macro.
- F/5.6.
- 1/8000 sec.
- ISO 200.

One of the results of having fun with die and water back in 2019. All of this was done without triggers (i.e. special devices to trigger the camera or the flash); I tried those and failed miserably every time I try my luck with them, and I'm always back to manual mode: eye-hand synchronization. Things would be even harder if two people would be working on such experiments because syncing is harder (well, sorta).
By the way, each of these images have a title but I didn't save the title in the file name unfortunately, but only when I uploaded them to other platforms back in 2019 when I made them and honestly I'm too lazy to change file names or check back to see what name I gave each! 🤷🏻‍♂️ So, I'm just putting the serial number of the file name.
For those who care about the specs: 50mm, f/6.3, 1/8000 sec, ISO 200.

"Two weeks ago, Burt and other division staff took part in an exercise to evaluate how to respond to a nuclear or radiological incident. All those staff members have been let go, he said.

'Now if there's a nuclear disaster, who are they going to call on as experts?' he asked.

(. . .)

The top officials laid off in the restructuring included the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Jeanne Marrazzo. She succeeded Anthony Fauci in directing the agency that had led the US fight against Covid-19.

Marrazzo - and several other directors - were notified that they were being reassigned to HHS's Indian Health Service division in other locations, according to media reports. They were asked to decide by Wednesday whether they planned to accept the new roles. "

Number of Americans with food borne illness rose by 25% in 2024, while hospitalizations and deaths more than doubled. This, even before RFKJr and Trump gutted the public health infrastructure, which will likely make the problem much worse.

From the article: "The total number of positions eliminated was not clear Sunday, but the firings appeared to focus on employees in the agency’s centers for food, medical devices and tobacco products — which includes oversight of electronic cigarettes. It was not clear whether FDA employees who review drugs were exempted."

@aboutgeo @dri_ireland uses IIIF for Irish #HSS and #CulturalHeritage collections.

I’m also pretty sure the digitised collections at the Bibliothèque et archives nationales du Québec are using it numerique.banq.qc.ca

OK, back to my archival posts (since I couldn't shoot anything new), with some high speed from 2017. I think I've placed a piece of aluminum foil, sprinkled some water on it and started to bounce a ball. Back then I didn't have much except for one speedlite (and definitely it is better to work with at least 2 when doing high-speed shots).

Anyone heard anything about the #HackerSecretSanta for 2024?  I dug around and could not find any new posts yet.
Don't want to miss it. :) I've participated every year since the first one...

Something from 2019, when I was experimenting with die and water in high-speed. In this post, this is the first time I use a filter from Pixelfed. I'm trying to compensate for the dull colors, as my images are usually saved in Adobe 1998 color space and it seems Pixelfed doesn't identify this space so things are pulled back to sRGB space, which makes the colors appear dull and less saturated here. This said, I'm having some ideas at the back of my head and will try to take some new pics soon (also shot some with my phone so I might process those as well, we'll see).

اِسْتِرْفاع (levitation) - 4; OK, the last one in this mini levitation series.
After this shot, I've started experimenting with stroboscopic flash. For this shot here I just wanted to break the monotony of my usual edits and tried my hand with tone-splitting, but I'm not sure I do like this version though.
