L Ribbon?
Yay! Received my photo5 box from Canon today, and they even gave me a ribbon with it Turns out the ribbon is one of the items =\ Don't read on if you don't want your surprised ruined. The 5 Items are: Red Ribbon Bubbles Crayon Cocktail Umbrella Tealight (Small Candle) Hopefully I can get creative and win some Canon gear =] Isn't Canon just the best? The best....

Red heart
A leftover from last V-Day. An attempt with my new lens...but I had to stand out of the room just to be far enough away for the focus to work. This lens is harder than I thought..

Thief in the night
Time is running out to crack the combination to the safe..

Red Alert
Stumbled upon the below shot " Red Light " by shima1 in the Leica Noctilux F1.0 Photographs pool. I was inspired. I'm awed with the quality of photos in that group, the creative possibilites, the dreamy settings, the creamy bokeh the lens lets the photographer create. The closest possible lens for the Alpha system is the manual focus SR mount Minolta 50/58mm ƒ/1.2 MC Rokkor PG/X , which I've had for 2.5 months and am ready to convert to the Alpha mount. I can't wait, but I can't seem to find an guaranteed, fast and easy way to do the surgery. Personally I like the raspberry colour of the original shot below as opposed to my crimson. Candle was about 6" away from lens. Christmas lights about 4' away from lens..

RECIPE3V1-5
I had waaaaay too much wax melted for this batch. I happened to get 12 tealights, 2 votives, 1 tart, 1 3.75 oz glass jar, a full bottle of scent (empty before filling it with extra wax) and I still managed to have about 30g left over in the melting pot. Oh well, candles for EVERYONE!.

Another one, with flash. I don't like this one at all, and yet it still made the cut..

Shot with Canon EOS 400D + Canon 50mm f/1.8 I didnt upload something the last days because I am in a kind of uncreative phase. I dont really like to go shooting and I am not having ideas neither. So I am currently looking through my archives and this is why I am pretty happy about this involuntary pause. There are many good shots on my HDD that are waiting to be processed and published. Now I am in the mood to do that. So here is the first one of a series of unknown length with shots that I did someday during the last year. For a look behind the scenes of my photography please visit My Blog.
