Liquid Storm

The photo club came up with a challenge for February 2020 and it proved to be a challenge. I enjoyed it and learned a couple of things doing it.

One thing I learned was that I didn’t know my flash all that well. Another is that I have to work harder at making sure my focus is right.

The challenge was to photograph liquids mixing, or a “Liquid Storm” as it was termed.

I bought two neon colours to work with and some small bottles to put the paint into. I added water and shook it till it was mixed. I also bought a ten gallon aquarium to use as the container.

I had a few frustrating moments doing it, like when I realized the images were not sharp/focused. Once I had a really great colour bloom happening and my remote wouldn’t trigger the camera! Batteries died in the remote.

I realy liked the results and had a hard time picking the “final” image for the challenge. Here are some for you to see and the rest are in my flickr share here https://www.flickr.com/photos/kwgagel

Alan’s Scrap Yard – October 22, 2017

In October the Prince George Photgraphic Society went to Alan’s Scrap Yard here in Prince George. It’s not really my kind of place for insperation – still, I tried to get some shots I could use for a little abstract work.

I found out about On1’s RAW photo processor and thought I’d give a try. I decided to process these images using it and it’s filters/effects. Here are a couple images, the rest as usual are in my flickr share here https://www.flickr.com/photos/kwgagel
