Saturday, June 30. 20072007.06.30: Bizarre Model Mayhem Profile . . . what the fuck?! HAHAH!!! Thanks, Brandon. Wednesday, June 20. 20072007.06.20: Adapted Lenses for Macro
My M42 to Nikon F-mount adapter arrived a few days ago. Remembering that I had a few Carl Zeiss Jena lenses around the studio with M42 mounts and the Nikon PB-4 perspective control bellows I figured I'd mess around a little while waiting for some printing to finish.
 A close-up photograph of my watch through the Carl Zeiss Jena DDR MC Sonnar 135/3.5 mounted on the D200 with the PC Nikkor Bellows. Using the lens at this distance is obviously not optimal for what is otherwise an excellent telephoto lens. ISO 100, 10second exposure.  Similar setup but with the Rodenstock Rodagon 50/2.8 enlarging lens. This lens has fungus growing on front and rear elements. Furthermore, I had to hand hold this lens in front of the bellows as my 39mm to 42mm adapter ring hasn't arrived yet.
 A look at the setup. Light used was the fluorescent-converted fresnel spot lamp set to its most focused setting. Monday, June 11. 20072007.06.11: Occam's RazorSunday, June 10. 20072007.06.01: Happy mail, sad mail
Most days I get junk mail and magazine subscriptions. Other days I get dental appoint reminders and bills. Today I get happy mail and sad mail.
 Happy mail. Cheques are usually happy items . . . except for one interesting cheque which I will write about later that was just funny. This cheque is West Edmonton Mall's payment for photography done for the Mall's fall Map and Directory. As of the time of this entry I've shot three of the four new West Edmonton Mall billboards and we are to shoot the forth soon.  Sad mail. A letter from the Canada Revenue Agency formalizing my computer company's appointment to be audited for GST practices on June 11, 2007. On the bright side, at least over the phone, my auditor sounds friendly and cute.  2007.06.09: Rapid Fire Theatre's Chimprov
This entry may mark my only complete shoot of a Rapid Fire Theatre performance this year until August. The Nikon D2X, Nikon D200, and Rollei 6008AF with a Phase One P20 16bit digital back were used to capture parts of the first and second half of the performances of Chris Craddock, Jacob Bannigan, Joe Vanderhelm, Kevin Gillese, and Arlen Konopaki on the Varscona Theatre stage. Improvaganza 2007 begins June 13th at the theatre. Be sure to check out Rapid Fire Theatre's website for more details. The rest of the photos may be viewed in my web gallery. It's behaving a bit slowly right now. I hope that it's running faster when you visit it.
 Scratch's Kevin Gillese and Arlen Konopaki trying out a new format . . . thing.  At first glance it's hard to tell which is Jacob and which is the puppet. Jacob's on the right . . . I think.  Crad kinda looks like his puppet, too.   Joey having an external/internal conversation with himself through puppets. Saturday, June 2. 20072007.06.02: Happy Anniversary
Happy sixth-year anniversary, Leanna. Sorry that I couldn't be with you today.
 Cuz it's your favourite shot of the butterfly series for some reason  |
