This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing modules.
You can drag and and drop to rearrange.
You can edit modules to customize them.
The left side has modules you can add!
Some modules you can only access when you get a subscription.
Some modules have options that are only available when you get a subscription.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain modules can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
The final work has been submitted for my projects. Looking back its difficult to justify how much time and effort has been spent on this. The only justification has been a determination to wrench-away the comfort blanket of photography I am comfortable with and try new stuff. The three projects submitted all have different themes and required experimentation with different photographic techniques. Some I am happier with than others, but all have been submitted knowing I did the best I could.
So, I have added some of my project work to the gallery and some pics taken at Wilverley Plain, New Forest on a wonderful February morning yeah its taken a while to post!
Thank you - colours are part of the manipulation. If it helps, some notes on how I did the shots:
1. low ISO for best quality 2. High resolution JPEG or RAW for quality 3. Aperture between f8 and f16 for sharp results - adjust depending on the results 4. Shutter speed - set for one second and adjust depending on results. 5. Use self timer or remote cable.
Back drop - large piece of black card set to angle or black cloth - not vertical to the camera to avoid reflections. Incense stick approx 12-18 inches in front of the card / cloth. Focus on the tip of the incense stick, lock the focus and then recompose shot so tip just out-of-sight at bottom of frame. Once everything in place, light incense stick and switch lights off. Use camera self-timer or remote cable to release the shutter. When shutter released )remember exposure set for one second) use a flashgun positioned just below the incense stick to "flash" the smoke trail - this is what makes the smoke stand-out from the background. If there is no off camera flash, try short burst of torch light or other bright light source. Whatever source used, point the beam vertically from the base of the incense stick and avoid pointing at the lens
If digital, check the results after each exposure .
Things to watch-out for: Too much air movement around the smoke will make it indistinct, no air movement just gives a vertical column which isn't very interesting. I manipulated shots in Photoshop by cropping, adjusting for levels etc then layering multiple copies of the shot to create an interesting image. To introduce colour, one method is :
Create a new layer and fill, using the gradient tool (radial etc), with colours of your choice. Once gradient applied to layer, use combination of blending modes & opacity enabling colours to interact with the smoke-trail layer below. Good start point is Overlay mode at approx 30% opacity.
