A mixture of Freelensing with the 50mm and macro with the 70-300mm

Just a couple of photos I took tonight of the new instruments the Mrs bought me!

I have also uploaded my test shots for my final year project (which was during the 2007/2008 term) to youtube. While they are already up on here I can't seem to share them so here they are for all to see!

Just a quick post with another photograph taken Thursday.




Happy Holidays all! (if I don't post before the new year Happy New Year as well)

We bought this flower last week and it has just bloomed. Really fast blooming Christmas/Winter blooming bulb plant. Took some shots of it as we don't know how long it blooms for.






There are a few more shots I took of the flower and the bulb itself which I want to have a play around with.

In other news I went to the final Drink and Draw of the year. I only drew a few things but will paint them up and put them on next week. It's great to have a regular event where you can get together and chat with other people interested in all areas of art/design. There are plans of setting up life drawing sessions which I'd enjoy and can't wait to see what the new year brings for the group!

I have recently got the book Stop Staring: Facial Modeling and Animation Done Right which has nice advice on creating and modelling a head with animation in mind. It was recommended to me by a friend as it seems to be a great way of modelling a head which I can then take in to ZBrush.

As far as other projects go I'm currently moving my University project from Realflow/XSI in to Maya and continuing particle/realflow studies with a new CGSociety course starting in January (Realflow Essentials with Allen Mckay).
