My Time in Vegas

Well been busy working and have not really had time to look around and see what's going on, but i did manage to find a few pics.

Egg-straordinary

So I decided to do that egg thing from a few days ago, and i had lots of fun doing it. 

Not because of all the yolks but it was cool seeing the shadows move, and how the shape reacts itself to light

I also played with the settings a lot on the camera to figure out the best setting for each lighting condition.

This one was my last shot, it was just for fun. Worked out pretty good

Here you can see how bright the egg is, i like the shadow on the cusp of the egg, and reflection on the table

Here i'm facing the light, and on the left hand side its like there is a white line of light hugging the egg. You can see the shadow here helps make the picture

I like this one i think because of the accidental cool effect on the top right of the picture. I think this was because how close to the light source i was positioned.

The egg has a larger crescent; and a more pronounced shadow

As i'm packing up all my different shots, i realized the light in the other room was left on, the entire time i had two light sources and didn't even think about it. 

Both images are taken from the same spot, simply different iso shutter settings.

I wanted to play around with a candle, but the candle really over takes the picture. My goal was to get the light of the candle to shine through the egg, but the candle being bigger posted a problem. Defiantly something to try next time.

And of course me playing with the shutter speed

How To Make A 5 Minutes C-Loop

Derek Cooke put together a quick little guide on hooking your camera up via the strap connection on the bottom. Looks pretty straight forward

I however would swap the clip with a climbers kit

My Weekend Project: Egg Test

So i saw this video, and i don't know if i fully understand it so, i figured what the hell.

My weekend project to be posted here, is take 5 pictures of an egg, Egg cannot move but i can change lighting.

The goal is for me to better understand lighting and the settings on my phone while doing so.

Perhaps those who follow this site would be willing to do the same and submit your own.
