Okeeeyy

Here are some pictures from the Theory of photo imaging processes tutorial and some of the studio and it surroundings...

BTW.. right before this entry there is a cooking lesson entry... check it out...


Light beam passing through a glass object.. cool right? this is also what happens when light hitts water (or any transparent material for that mater) the light "slows" down and thus changing direction... it's actually quite interesting.

Here you see a light beam pass through a prism.. which actually breaks up the light into the visible specturm... But since these prisms were of some cheap plastic and not glass, it's not that easy to see... therefore did I put two prisms in the light beam:) so you can se the colours at the top there... :)

Light reflecting within a glass object... one beam was coloured red with a filter... so you can see the effect better...
Here is one you actually see the reflections (bouncing) in the glass a whole lot better...
fun to look at right? I've found out that light has some really interesting features..
I knew most of this from before.. but somehow it gets more intreresting when you have actually seen it with your own eyes...


And now.. some pictures from our facilities at Griffith....

First is the view...hehe.. this is the view right outside form our studio...
And how it looks down the path...

Here you see how one of the studio's look like... I think it's about 9 of these studios...
and there are some else also....but I havent used them yet..

And last a picture from one lecture/demonstration in Commercial photo techniques class...



Well...this is all for this time... be sure to check out the cooking lesson...

cya later

A cooking lesson...

Yep....that's right... a cooking lesson....well.. not quite a lesson but more like I show and tell you how and what I use to make when I'm eating alone.... (well...we do sometimes eat this together aswell)

Anyway.. this is what i call baconpasta àla lars :) sounds good right? hehe

Yea...so.. what you need is : (by the way.. im not cooking with any measurments..so just wing it)

Pasta
Bacon
Philidelphia (some kind of creamed cheese)
Thickened cream
Spices (Italian, pepper mix, tandoori mix, garlic, cajun)
Red onion

First you start with cooking the pasta... just let it boil while you're cooking the rest.

Then you take a little pile of bacon... like the one in the pic below

Cut it up in little pieces (yes, that it what goes as bacon in this country, or they call it side bacon, cheap and quite good)

Let it cook for a little bit so the bacon juices start to come out... then you add the spices

After a little time you add the onions..

Let the onions cook with the bacon and spices for a while then you add the cream

mmm....looks good right?
yeah... after the cream has cooked a while with the rest you add the philidelphia cheese

At this time the pasta should be done.. so then before you mix inn the philidelphia add the pasta.
Mix it all together... good...

When you're done it should look something like the one above here :)

Acutally there is some ingredients to my pasta...But I did not have this in my fridge today.. so I made it without...

What you should also get for this is some cheese (cheddar, mozzerella, jarlsberg, norvegia, parmesan whatever) and some mushrooms...

The mushrooms you should slice up and cook before you put in the bacon... and the cheese before the philidelphia....

You could also get a philidelphia with flavor.. today I used the regular one.. but I often use the one flavored with garlic and herbs....

Also fresh garlic is very good in this pasta.... :)

now... ENJOY:)

some school work

I promised you some pictures of a advertising assignment... so I guess I have to post some of them then...

This is a picture we took for reflection and exposure references. Different surfaces and textures.. real exciting right?
oh well...moving on...


A colour palette. Just a grey background lighted with colour.. It is colour gels (filters) that we put in front of the flash heads so the light gets the colour we want. And it depends on the power output and the settings in the camera how bright the colour gets.

Cool right? yeah.... NEXT!

This is the main event in the assignment.... All the other pictures were taken to prepare us for this shot... it's shot with a 5x4 camera.. which means that the negative (or in this case the negative is actually positive, called transparency film) is 5x4 in size.. inches... yes it is... and it is not a roll of film.. only single sheets... hm..hang on... I'll find a link to somewhere that can show you what kind of camera I'm talking about...
could not find one... (I didn't bother looking so hard either) but you can do it your self... just google 5x4 camera or large format camera... it's easy:)

anyway... I have a picture of one.... I'll show you that.. hehe




So yeah.... there it is... quite fun to work with...but it takes forever... hard work... moving on!


sooooo back to the shot of the glass.... Nice isn't it? hehe.. yeah.. it is what we call multi-exposure.. that means that I have exposure'd the film for light multiple times... In this case we did it three times... One for each colour in the background and one for the highlights in the glass.

I had to make huge stencils for the background... one for each colour... the background had to be white where I wanted the colour I had on the flash heads and black for where I didn't want it.. And of course the other way around with the other colour...

In other words..this was a incredible hard way to do a easy picture...


Now you can see why I haven't posted any school work yet... There is not that much to show... Its more for technical practise.... hehe

Well..now you have seen some.... I'll post more school work after I've done some... have just finished this one.. don't have anything else at this moment...
