Lightboxing

lightbox shot

Just a quick note on how I took the “identity” shots in one of the previous posts.

After running around the house, trying to find something to build a DIY lightbox/tent out of I stumbled on a picnic thermal box, the one you’d normally use to keep your beer cold ;) Other than it being a bit on the small side it was near perfect. All white, rounded corners and easy to clean (although there was no yellow/brown residue) ;)

I couldn’t get my flash inside the way I wanted so I grabbed hold of a flourescent reading light and stuck it in there. I had to adjust for awful white balance but it did the trick. Nice diffused light, just the way I wanted it. The only slight problem was the
fact that flourescent bulbs don’t always emmit the same color light and you will get some shot-to-shot variations in white balance.

Malo igranja s številkami in grafi / playing with numbers and infographics:

Teža v gramih / Total weight in grams

Skupni prirastek / Total gain

Dnevni prirastek v deležih / Daily gain in %

Prirastek glede na začetno težo v % / Gain as % of birth weight

Variacije na gole številke / playing with numbers

A proper introduction

Mesdames et messieurs, je vous prÃ©sente… zdaj tudi z uradno potrjenimi imeni:

Hawkeye Hooch

V čast in slavo dvem filmskim legendam, sta ime posodila Beasley iz filma Turner & Hooch in Alan Alda kot Hawkeye Pierce v nadaljevanki M*A*S*H

Havana Hina

Havana…Cuba…Buena Vista Social Club…havana brown
update: Hina je baje tudi havajska boginja

Helvetica Hirti

Švica = Helvetia & v čast 50 letnice črkovne vrste (fonta) Helvetica by Max Miedinger. Močno svetujem tudi ogled dokumentarnega filma Helvetica by Gary Hustwit.
update: die hirtin = pastirica

Hanibal Hayabusa

Na svojem slavnem osvajalnem pohodu s sloni vred prek Pirenejev in Alp se je kartežanski Hannibal morda ustavil tudi v Švici.
Sokol v japonščini znan pod imenom Hayabusa, je svoje ime posodil na različne konce. Med drugim to ime nosi najhitrejši serijski motor Suzuki GSX1300R, satelit za opazovanje asteroida Itokawa in kultni film Malteški Sokol s Humphrey Bogartom v glavni vlogi.

Homer Heineken

Homer D’oh Simpson + Duff beer + Moe’s Tavern. Ker pa imaginarni Duff beer iz The Simpsons pač ne gre v koncept z imenom H smo ga navadili (saj ne zares) ;) na Heineken.
Homer se že od vsega začetka zadržuje v težji kategoriji in tako kot Homer Simpson je najprej zavil do bara (v tej prispodobi je to seveda Dina).
