Rambling

29 August 2008 By Binary Goddess 1 In the usual

You ever have those times when you remember some fun time you had way back when and you really miss a particular friendship you had back then but you are pretty sure you will never truly have it back and you kinda know why it fell apart but really you don’t know why for sure because things got so jumbled up for a while and you’re pretty sure there were a lot of misunderstandings but it’s been so long and you don’t want to bring it up again because you already tried and it didn’t help but damn you really wish things hadn’t gone wrong because it really was a good friendship?

Yeah.. me too.

ASAD 29

28 August 2008 By Binary Goddess 0 In the usual

Today Than built me a light box. (I helped!)

Specifically one of these. I had one before that we had made from foam core board and tissue paper, and it worked like a charm for taking photos of jewelry and other small things. Of course that flimsy thing did not survive the move from Clifton to College Hill. This one, made pretty much exactly like the one in the aforementioned link, is much sturdier. I don’t have the worklights like that guy does, I use desklights with natural light bulbs in them for now. Someday I will get the proper lighting but this still does not do a bad job! So for my ASAD I post a couple shots that I took while testing out the new lightbox.

The first shot is of one of my new(ish) boots with one of a pair of knitted spats on it. I just finished that one today so it could be considered an ASAD in and of itself. What actually makes this fabulous is the fact that under normal circumstances my camera (a nice snapshot cam but not a professional grade by any stretch) does not like the color red. With my new lightbox and a small tripod I was able to get a shot of the spat with an accurate representation of the color. This is a Big Deal(tm) for someone like me who loves the color combination black and red so very very very much.

The second is the same necklace I’d posted about earlier in the month, but an actual good shot of it with nice detailing. It could have used a good cleaning before I shot it, but for a quick test shot with minimal post processing this is a HUGE improvement over my webcam

So there you have it…

ASAD 25

I had so much fun with the first photo I figured I’d go ahead and put up a second, so for my ASAD for the 25th I have this somewhat more stylized setting. Same photo shoot obviously.

One click is all it takes…

ASAD 24 (Take 2)

Well, in messing about with my websites I managed to accidentally delete that last post, so let us try this again shall we? I feel bad because there were some very nice comments on there, and they were really appreciated! Blarg.

For my ASAD the 24th I submit for your approval this photograph taken by a friend and edited by moi. It is a photo of the corset I recently made and have gone on about ad nauseum, but the ASAD is in fact the photoshopping job itself, which was in fact done quite quickly and therefore I feel is rightfully to be called a scribble.
