With the camera mounted on a tripod and connected to a wireless remote trigger Martin experiments with getting some decent images from the car while driving. The results are mixed. Not all good, but not entirely bad either.

A bunch of the pictures from the drive-by-shot. Most of them blurred, a few of them useful, but quite a lot of them interesting... kinda.

The Nikonians On Location #25 - Black Background

Added by martinj | July 7, 2008   6:00 PM

Inspired by some pictures in a magazine Martin takes on creating a dark mood in a small makeshift, tabletop studio using black background paper and a couple of flashes. He shoots dry flowers and leaves and plays with different subjects once the light is set up.

Join Martin as he gets into controlling off camera flashes, the Nikon wireless system (CLS) and using gels to create a special tone and quality of light. And as he hunts dry flowers in the garden round midnight and brews espresso for photography and consumption.

In the slideshow Martin shows examples of the setup he used to get the gloomy, dark, renaissance painting-like mood with a dark background that he aimed for.

The Nikonians On Location #22 - Chaotic Collages

Added by martinj | June 16, 2008   10:30 AM

This time Martin is sticking a lot of individual images together to form collages. He covers the way of shooting them and how to create controlled chaos in the result.

Video supplement available here (NPC-OLV-2008-06-16; 6:30; flash format).

Show Notes: June 16, 2008
Inspired by Heather Champ of flickr and David Hockney, a British pop artist, we this time venture into a more arty way of taking and working on pictures. By shooting panoramic-like, but without the meticulous control that's used in normal panoramas, we get a dozen or so images that can be arranged into a chaotic collage.

Video supplement:
This week's slideshow shows a few examples of the finished collages and follows the creation of a couple too.
