BBQ

20090720_ugh

Barbecue with Feedforce members at?昭和記念公園. ?Nice and slow weekend surrounded by nature. ?I was way too exhausted, went straight to bed when I got home. ?Wish I was young as those kids running around all day long. ?When do they get tired?

BTW, I oftenly croped photo’s by 4:3|3:4 but come to think its best to leave them in 3:2|2:3 especially when its super wide angle.

Preparation for the Solar Eclipse

batteryAs many of you probably already know, there is going to be an solar eclipse on July 22 in Japan, China and the Marshall islands.

In Tokyo, we will be able to see?partial eclipse upto?75%. ?So I’m gonna take a day off to shoot some photos.

I know there will be tons of people taking photos and vids of the eclipse itself but the coolest thing of eclipse will be the ?shades.

Light Drawings

we_love_typoLight drawings with DSLR. Photo was taken long ago and finally got my hands on it. It was my first trial so I know it didn’t come out exactly as expected but was a good practice.

I used standard issue flashlight but I would recommend small LED key-chains. ?Should have an accessible push button so you can turn it on/off easily.

Here is the PSD file containing alphabets only.

Photoshop playground – Lomo type effect

lomo_like_effectI’m sure there are?tons of Photoshop tutorials out there so I won’t go into specifics. ?Emulating Lomo type effect in Photoshop and you can download the final source here.

In case you don’t know what’s Lomo you should check out some stunning photos here. ?Although I’m shifting towards Digital because of its handiness, I still love Analogue SLRs.

Only if?developing?black n white negative films?were cheaper…

Playing with Photoshop – Retro

img_0166Just a little photoshop practice, making photo look scratched and dull. ?The photo is from my parents’ place.

Learning step by step in photoshop is important so that I can understand better to redo this process in actionscript. ?Maybe I should make a Lomo-effect generator with iPhone just like fladdict’s tiltshift generator.

Be ambitious Fukatsu-san!

Focus

Focusing Screen Eg-S

Since I’vd?used Nikon F2, I really miss split focus circle.? Yep, I luv manual so I’ve changed 5DM2′s screen to Super Precision Matte.

The downside is that finder becomes darker. ? I always use lenses thats faster than f/2.8 so no problemo.?? Finder is sharp and crisp,?and?much much easier to find the point.

Recommended for those who love manual photography.

Golden Week

岩室観音堂

Paid a visit to Yoshimi-Hyakuana with Ina.? Its an unique ancient tomb with tons a holes on the side of the cliff.

Also consists ex-military facility.? Actually just a tunnel. Remains of Otani-mine was much better really.? But the ruins near the site was cool.

After dusk, we experimented light drawings.
