First remix with an IR layer
Sunday, being bad art day, was the perfect chance to test out the new toy(s) I ordered: an infrared filter and a new tripod head from Really Right Stuff. The IR exposure is about 1.3 - 1.6 seconds at f16 for 200 ISO. And the D70 is the right tool for this job.

Still mining through the shooting last month, and I shot about 5 GB on Saturday I haven't looked at, so pictures will have to follow in another post. The Mt. Pleasant Rhubarb Festival presented a goldmine of shooting ops: Ugly Truck parade, kids on bikes with rhubarb leaf decorations, a soap box derby, pie eating contests and snow capped mountains in the background. Just what I went for.
R is convinced, and I don't disagree, that a prominent group at the festival came from the Krishna temple in Spanish Fork. He is certain we've seen them at the India Fest. One of them won the raw rhubarb-eating contest, holding down 6.8 ounces in 60 seconds. Didn't catch the prize, hope it wasn't a rhubarb pie.

I have declared Sunday to be Bad Art day, because you can't make bad bad art. This way, I get one day a week off to play with my stuff that doesn't count as "real art." To make stuff with the neon playdough, drag out all the bright colored pencils, and ponder how to make a Lite-Brite image in Photoshop. Remember Lite-Brite? My personal censor doesn't like it, but I insist: one day a week to play.
