This year I’m a bit late in putting it up.</p> <p> In 2011, I had far less photography focus than I would have liked. Between buying a house and long hours at work, I just had less time to spend on it. It turns out my first photo published of the year, which was the first of 13 photos from my aborted “52 week” project. </p> <p> Here’s a couple of the runners up: </p> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickburlett/6072415552/" title="Jessie's Brown Dress by nickburlett, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6184/6072415552_23d530f27f_z.jpg" width="426" height="640" alt="Jessie's Brown Dress"/></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickburlett/6095431223/" title="Engagement Ring by nickburlett, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6067/6095431223_881e64c090_z.jpg" width="640" height="426" alt="Engagement Ring"/></a>http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/15143568154http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/15143568154Sun, 01 Jan 2012 14:05:14 -0800photography<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwtq3tJX6c1qbonjeo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwtq3tJX6c1qbonjeo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwtq3tJX6c1qbonjeo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwtq3tJX6c1qbonjeo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>A BUNS-filled day</p>http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/14818634896http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/14818634896Mon, 26 Dec 2011 10:31:05 -0800<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwqdyvE52z1qbonjeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>On the wharf.</p>http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/14743110665http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/14743110665Sat, 24 Dec 2011 15:16:07 -0800<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwa9ff9SLK1qbonjeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Fernando.</p>http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/14299870568http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/14299870568Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:16:27 -0800<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwa99dWtBi1qbonjeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Further progress on the garage photo studio from last weekend.</p>http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/14299771900http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/14299771900Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:12:49 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lv3non1kSv1qbonjeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Goodbye ugly green garage walls, hello medium gray!

I guess there aren’t many photos of knitting taken from the point of view of the knitter, so we went to work to make it happen. It’s actually quite difficult to get a large field camera in place next to someone’s head, and I ended up bumping the knobs into Jessie on a couple of occasions (sorry, love!).</p> <p>I’m still hoping to get the victorian costuming in next week….</p>http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/3479601633http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/3479601633Wed, 23 Feb 2011 23:18:51 -0800photography52weeks<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickburlett/5426966729/" title="5/52 by nickburlett, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5293/5426966729_c763a091d3_z.jpg" width="509" height="640" alt="5/52"/></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickburlett/5450435316/" title="6/52 by nickburlett, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5179/5450435316_d353e965f4_z.jpg" width="509" height="640" alt="6/52"/></a></p> <p>Looks like I didn’t write last week, so here’s a twofer. </p> <p>Neither of these images turned out quite how I intended, and they both have the same problem. I envisioned the framing to be considerably tighter on each, but then somehow missed it. Oh well, at least I got the exposure and focus down. I’m especially happy about that for the first, since it actually makes use of both tilt and shift in a non-cliche manner. For the second, I am rather happy with the splash of light on the background, and some of the textures and tones, but the overall composition isn’t what I was hoping for. </p> <p>Next week, I need to slow it down and plan it out more.</p>http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/3323946735http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/3323946735Tue, 15 Feb 2011 23:39:28 -0800<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickburlett/5407200442/" title="4/52 by nickburlett, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5218/5407200442_0acd1dd872_z.jpg" width="509" height="640" alt="4/52"/></a></p> <p><br/> Week 4 of 52</p> <p><br/> Speckled white background<br/> They hang there like icicles<br/> Pots on the pegboard.</p> <p><br/> We just put up a new pegboard in the kitchen, so we used it as a backdrop for this week’s photo. </p> <p>Only four weeks in, and I’m already cheating (sort of). I set up, we took the shot, I tore down the equipment and went to develop the film. This is when I realized that my film holder was empty. Apparently when I was loading the holders last month, I flipped one of the darkslides to the white side without actually putting film in. Fail. So I grabbed another holder, set everything back up, and re-shot. I dunno… is this cheating?</p>http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/3045730395http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/3045730395Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:08:07 -0800photography52weeks<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nickburlett/5386416839/" title="3/52 by nickburlett, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5213/5386416839_60488919fc_z.jpg" width="508" height="640" alt="3/52"/></a> <p> Illuminated.<br/> Yet not from warm solar rays,<br/> The cold apparent. </p> <p> I love how all of these have been very different so far. I’m hoping to keep this up and not get stuck in the same sorts of images over and over. It it would be easy to keep taking similar image with the same light, but that’s not why I’m doing this. The goal is creation within constraint not repetition. </p>http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/2921872503http://blog.icollectlight.com/post/2921872503Mon, 24 Jan 2011 23:23:48 -0800
