Texture - Seven

Jess' mat, covered in dog fur. It needs a bit of a vacuum!

So end this week. I loaned out my camera, so I didn't have Sunday to shoot. In fact, I almost completely forgot I was meant to be shooting this week.

It wasn't until Thursday or Friday afternoon that I remembered while looking at something and thought it would be a good thing to shoot for the theme.

So now I need to think of a new theme... Mobility.

Texture - Six

This is actually a metal suitcase I have. Didn't think it would turn out like this with the right light.

Texture - Five

A jacket.

Texture - Four

Bit hard to tell, this one. It's the fabric backrest of my chair.

Texture - Three

A set of fabric blinds, right next to my workspace.

Texture - Two

The walls of my house.

It's an old house.

Texture - One

Bit of a let-down this week.

It would have been a prime topic for macros, but unfortunately I don't have one (one of the things on my wishlist is the new EF 100mm 2.8L).

This here is my couch!

Camera Gear - Seven


IMG_6516.jpg, originally uploaded by Mukimu.

Providing the lighting for all of these shots is my old 430EX flash.

They don't make these anymore, but they're a hardy little thing.

So that ends this week! On a Saturday no less!

Good fun experimenting with paper to get that seamless effect.

And so next week's theme is... Texture.

Camera Gear - Six

My old DSLR.

Fun times learning on this, it mainly sits in a drawer now.

Camera Gear - Five

This is by far my workhorse lens.

The hood on this (not pictured) is deep and Canon for some reason never thought to provide a centre-pinch cap, so I use the Sigma one.

Yes, that's my dining table.

Camera Gear - Four

Okay, I cheated a little.

Here's the Cactus V4 receiver.

Camera Gear - Three

Cactus V4 transmitter. Can't say I recommend these very much. Perhaps I got a bad set, but they are as flakey as a flakey thing that doesn't work much of the time.

Camera Gear - Two

Whoops. Left my cap on upside down!

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but my Sigma end cap is randomly on another lens, and its centre-pinch sits on another lens more suited for it.

Camera Gear - One


IMG_6509.jpg, originally uploaded by Mukimu.

My nifty-fifty. I don't have a standard zoom, so this one gets used quite a lot.

Jess - One


IMG_6440.jpg, originally uploaded by Mukimu.

Unfortunately, I messed up last week. It was meant to be an easy week since Jess is always around at home and I could just whip out the camera and take a gazillion shots.

I ended up taking this out at my parents' place, pretty much the only one of 18 shots that I was happy with.

I'll try harder this week.

This week's theme? Camera gear!

Whoops again!

I missed a weeks worth! I haven't been taking my camera out with me the past week and I think that's really hurting my shooting. Will try better this week.

So this week's theme?

Jess.

Who is Jess? Hopefully, you all will be revealed! =)

Metal - Seven

And drained of all creativity at this point.

I was thinking shiny kitchenware and that sort of thing, but I figured it was probably a good thing to get outside and take some pictures, even if it is sorta cold.

So for next week's theme? Artificial light.

Metal - Six

Grabbing at straws a little here.

Metal - Five


IMG_6235.jpg, originally uploaded by Mukimu.

I live in a semi-industrial, semi-residential area. It's really quite bizarre what sort of things stick out from walls and buildings.

Metal - Four


IMG_6232.jpg, originally uploaded by Mukimu.

You never know what you'll find around my neighbourhood. Some of these houses are pretty darn old though.

Metal - Three


IMG_6231.jpg, originally uploaded by Mukimu.

In hindsight, I wish I got the bottom "simona" in the frame to fit in with the whole "double-vision" thing.

Metal - Two

Those little knobs prevent skateboarders from grinding on edges. They have them subtly everywhere. On benches and what not.

Took them all again on Sunday. At least this time before the sun disappeared!
