In it's almost complete form. I love how a) this image is almost monochromatic, and b) if you lower the contrast enough, there is *still* detail in the shadow area to the left.

I finished with a little more white on the inside of the dish, cleaned up the outside with some more black, and then got the inner dish with white. I was thinking of hitting it with black, on the side showing, but now that I've looked, I'm a little glad I messed up and hit it with the white paint first. looks like it should catch/bounce just a teeny tiny bit of light. Also, clear coated the bejeezus out of it. :) at least 2-4 coats. Two on the black side, and probably closer to 4 on the white side. I'm also tempted to sand down some of the sections on the inside where I can see the drips forming, and clear coat again, less aggressively. I'm a bit of a perfectionist. :)

Hey there Flickr contacts! Just letting you know, that I'm still alive! :) Also, I may or may not be a pro still. I think it's expired. I'm not sure just yet, nor am I sure that I'll renew. Thoughts? Also, I love my new 50/1.4G lens! ;)

So, some of my friends are musicians, and they had their debut concert last night. This is one of the few still shots from the night. 13Gb of video later, I have to figure out what to do, and how to do it. :) Moderno Trio videos to come....

The next time I'm at dad's house, I want to try to capture this, more. This is just barely capturing it.

I think the first step would be... go outside. It's hard to see here, but the kitchen lights are intruding on the exposure. Also, tripod. so I can use something under 6400ISO ;) I just want everything...
