Some of you in the US may have encountered Flat Stanley once in a while. My first encounter with him was just in the last few weeks, when we received Stanley himself (colored in various shades of pink!) from the kindergarten-attending daughter of some friends who live half a continent away. Her class read a book of Stanley's adventures, and then mailed his two dimensional clones out to folks who might take him along for new ones, shoot some photos, and send him back with tales to tell. People who know me can probably sense what's coming.<br /><br />After some stewing on it, we decided to take him to one of our state's historic old one-room schoolhouses, and to combine that back-in-time visit with a bit of cutting edge 21st-century-ness. So of course I put Stanley on a camera drone, and took him for a 10 minute treetop tour of the old structure. Here, he's on the ground, having safely completed his mission. I'm hoping that I'll get a gold star from the kindergarten teacher at St. Agnes in South Dakota. Sure, the people with the frequently flyer garden gnomes are more worldly, but how many Flat Stanleys have co-piloted a hexacopter? Taken any oddball shots that someone else talked you into?

lex_jenkins Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 <p>Nikonstein digital/film hybrid D2H. Body cap pinhole holder, with pinhole made from a bit of black film leader from a roll of slide film. Took a heckuva lotta spotting in Lightroom - the tiny pinhole aperture shows up every tiny speck of dust, although there was only one really significant bit of fiber or fluff on the sensor that I hadn't noticed before with regular lenses.<br /> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17714953-md.jpg" alt="Pinhole view" width="679" height="450" border="0" /><br /> D2H, body cap pinhole, equivalent to roughly 50mm, 0.6 sec @ ISO 200. Aperture priority mode worked pretty well, despite being left at f/4 for the 100mm f/4 Spiratone Portragon I'd last used. A +1 EV exposure compensation worked best for these scenes.<br /> <br /><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17718845-md.jpg" alt="Nikonstein D2H digital/film hybrid pinhole monster" width="680" height="450" border="0" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchell_freedman Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 <p>I know Matt will mark me down for being late, but I missed out on metal reflections day last week. Here's one from Ft. McDowell, AZ following an auto auction. 1958 Intl Harvester pick-up. No paint - just an even coat of rust. Night shot using parking lot sodium lighting.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
