Slough Shark Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 From this point on, until I can't come up with anything else, I will change my Avatar on a weekly basis. Each week I will present a new piece of abstract photography, with a caption underneath. I will post how I did it on this thread. This is basically born of boredom, and me wanting to polish up my Photography and Art skills! Please if anyone is at all interested, join in!

Slough Shark Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) Title: From A Spark, A Flame Ok, this one was simple, I just used a lighter, timed it right, and shot the picture. The only alteration I made, was to crop it: This is the original image, cropped a bit, so that it fits here Heres the same image cropped to look clean Enjoy, Taylor Edited June 13, 2007 by Slough Shark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slough Shark Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Thanks Nick! This is the beauty of Digital Photography, you never need to lose your photos. I always keep mine on Memory Stick, on the PC HD and of course I usually have some hard copies about. Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyb440 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Interesting idea. I frequently wonder what some of the pictures people use in their avatars are. Kudos to anyone who can guess what mine is (hint: it was taken with a VERY expensive "camera"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slough Shark Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 nyb- is it a cell wall of a plant? It definitely looks like a Microshot. Thanks for replies all, I am also looking forward to seeing what I come up with, haven't a clue right now! Actually the problem is coming up with Captions, not the pics themsleves! But thats part of my challenge- part of why I'm doing it, I need to hone my creativity and imagination. Thanks for having a look, Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyb440 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 The image is a secondary electron SEM micrograph of an Al alloy, at ~25 000 X magnification. The striations that you see result from sample preparation with 1200 grit SiC paper. I'm not actually sure how the smiley face/hello kitty/space hopper (for any who may have read "Flatterland") got there, but it was interesting, so I took the image. I will be sure to publish it in the Journal of Irreproducible Results. I look forward to your upcoming pictures, Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slough Shark Posted June 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 I got what nyb said, but that's because I'm an all around Science geek, actually, make that just an all around geek... with style! Not to make you sound to be a geek nyb. New pic to come on Sunday, that's the set day that the new pics will be coming in, I've got a few ideas of what to shoot......

Slough Shark Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Um... yeah... I'm going to have to go ahead and just post a pic when I can, been fishing all weekend, lots of fish pics, nothing abstract. I have exams this week and next, so I'll fit in some photography when I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) Title: The Eye of the Future God Okeedoke, I've got a new one here. Another relatively simple, one, I've got to get a tough one sometime soon, though they do take some time to get inspired. Just a shot of a flahlight bulb, turned the Macro setting on, and shot the pic. Original Cropped Clean Cheers, Taylor Edited June 13, 2007 by Slough Shark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
