a slug’s fatal journey.

having had it planned for a while now, i finally made it out to shoot a little at night again.. put my shortest lenses on the two big canon-bodies, so i could play with one while the other was exposing – mostly bound to 30″ as i still don’t have any timer, nor a lockable cable-release with me :(

as most often i again used the lights of vienna, but also played a little with a flash and a flashlight.. all just gone through bibble for whitebalancing and minor tweaks..

some snapshots (to be taken literally) of a 10 day – including 2 days sitting in planes – trip to australia, sydney and canberra where we covered the world’s biggest 24hr-mtb-race .. great race, great country, way too little time..

on my search for vincent’s photos i stumbled across a folder dated quite exactly a year back.. it’s been a sunny autumn day and time for a little relaxing, so i grabbed a couple of lenses and climbed up the woods behind our house – as always being followed by our girl gizmo who loves such raids, coming with me no matter how far i go ..

for a current job, the layout of a folder, i had to shoot quickly arising tiny bubbles “in action” and to show one of those pics in full res i thought i’d try out zoomify.. so here we go, just click and pan or use the controls at the bottom:

this has been shot with the 24-70/2.8 (in macro position), and generally i used extension tubes to get close.. for lighting one flash (550ex) for the background (a blue garbage bag ;)) and one handheld right next to the lens to light the plastic where the bubbles came out which in turn lit the bubbles from below..
as usual, shot raw and developed with bibble, that zoomify-tool seems to have added a little more jpg-compression that i whished, but well.. maybe i’ll add a gallery with some of the other views i shot later on..
