Bubbles

Its not about michael jackson's pet monkey.🐒

So more weeks of photography, i decided to take some images of bubbles made the mixture and tried to take some shots, outside, inside and in the darkroom where i decided on the lighting.

So i tried and tried and tried, its certainly not as easy as you thnk, or its just me may be using the balck background was the bad idea, i will try again today in the sun.

Any way i used all the ideas from this site, bubble. 

I dont think that the images are bad, i know they arent the greatest, as you can see i used two light either side of the camera to make them as bright as possible. Then blew my own bubbles, without dripping on the camera.

So my thoughts were about re creating the apple bubbles, I have previously taken images while there where in a sink bowl and could take the images and get real close in with macro but there would be lots of other bubbles like in the bath.

So floating bubble is not easy, focusing on the bubble is speed critical falling bubbles and getting the correct speed of shutter in a dark room with a aperature to just less than focus on everything behind. That was part of my problem my background is smooth and shiny so capture the reflection of the light so i tried to have the background with no relfection and the lamps facing me blinding! me.

With multiple tries and fails i eventually got this one. 

So i got the simplicity of the bubble and plenty of blank space to the writing to be placed for marketing and it could be manipulated further.

You can have some real fun with bubbles next frozen bubble.

On another note redbubble and other print on demand servies have not done me any good getting me plenty of follows, thats nice but follows doesnt convert to purchases, similar to fineartamerica and artpal. putting my photos on these site i am hopeing to get noticed and have the chance of selling more photos.

Food

 So missed a month on the blog sorry. 

Been loosing my mind a little trying out different thing and being dragged down by covid similar to some otheres out there.

Any way as you can see i have been playing with photoshop to learn some new manipulation skills and recreating the avengers movie style dispersment effect on my self cause that is what i feel like a little.

Other than that, I have been eating and cooking more than i would usually creating new dishes that are simple like tuna-pasta-bake, which i enjoyed and i took me a few days to eat pretty big to eat all by myself but healthy and to make this more photographic i took some food making shoots as i did the cooking, bonus!!

Tasty, not really done much food shots before i am not one for istagramming my dinner before i eat it, this though was interesting but i may need to get some relfection help with the shot as this is all natural light so not bad from the kitchen window. On another not i made some dessert with a rhubarb-crumble having one rubbarb plant in the garden i have been able to make some nice crumbles my only slight issue i have is sweetness.

Oh yeah we have rasberries in the garden too, which being the house chef on this week i too the photo i though would be nice to add in. good shot?

following on with the food photography  when on to photo the other heath minded food we have and some blueberries.

so all this without any props and take on the fly would be nice to have some more props though i think make it look more stylish and have some depth any way after doing this i looked more into the food photography, seem interesting and worth checking out as we all eat, and keep the mind fresh and interested make food, prepare, style and shoot that food.

so finishing off the first show used an action for photoshop, which did the job but i had a go manually and this was my attempt all to show how i feel at the moment, business not working redbubble not selling. On way and up ward smile and stay in safe.
