Cookie splash! is a series of photos taken by Siebe Warmoeskerken, Owner of De Vetpan studios and fellow flickrite. Each photo in the series features beautiful bokeh and huge, amazing, perfectly in-focus coffee splashes, with cookies, of course! Warmoeskerken created the splashes using chocolate easter eggs, but says that any tiny, heavy object will do. I love the beauty of the splashes and the fantastically colored backgrounds.
For the try-it-at-home types like myself, Warmoeskerken provides a quick step-by-step tutorial and also a “making of” video on Vimeo. If you try this out, let me know. I’d love to hear how it goes!
Did you know that Flickr had slideshow capabilities? I had seen the slideshows before, but I had no idea that you could embed them elsewhere, or that they were set on a black background, or that you could make the images full screen. I have to say that I’m fairly impressed.
The above slideshow includes my full stream, but it’s possible to view slideshows of particular sets also. I’ve added a link to my 365 project slideshow to the project page also. Happy viewing!
I’ve added a new page to the site for my 365 photography project so that you can follow along a little bit easier. The page can be found on the page bar above the header image. The photo thumbnails are arranged in a calendar format to make it a bit easier to see when each photo was taken.
As always, feel free to contact me with any questions about the project. Thanks!
If you follow me on flickr, then you probably know that I’ve been taking at least one photo every day since the middle of November and posting it on flickr. For 2009, I’ll be doing the same thing, but in a more organized fashion as a 365-day project. Each picture will have notes about the day and/or the photo so that there’s a little context around the image. By the end of the year I will literally have my “year in pictures.” I’ve created a photo set in my flickrstream specifically for this project, so you can follow along if you like, or, even better, join me in taking and posting a photo a day.
This past Tuesday was the one year anniversary for this blog, and it sure has changed in one year, as have I. I’ve managed to get the post count up, and I hope work up to posting almost every day.
I wanted to take this opportunity to mention some of the other things I’ve been up to lately. Since I got my new DSLR I’ve been posting new pictures on flickr almost every day. I’ve finished my first photography class and am looking forward to getting the negatives scanned and posted, and to starting my second class this winter. The bikes are in for the winter but I’ll be trying out some spin classes in my area, so I might have a bit to report on that. Jim’s been painting, and you can see his stuff in his flickrstream.
November is the cloudiest month here in Minneapolis, and with the short days it feels as if we go from night to gloomy gray skies and back to night over and over without any real daylight at all. December has the shortest days but at least it’s a bit sunnier. So I’ll be looking for indoor activities to blog about, at least between now and Thanksgiving. Thanks for visiting and stay tuned!
I got my first roll of color film back from the shop today and I’m thrilled to be able to start posting pics from my Rebel 2000 SLR. I’ve owned the camera since college and I’m really glad I finally know how to use it! I’m still figuring some things out, like getting the right depth of field for the shot I want, but I’ve come a long way in a short time. So please check out the new pics in my flickrstream. I’ll be posting a few each day after they’re digitally developed, so check back over the next week to see them all.
Last week I updated my homepage, flurrycat.com. I’ve also aliased kerischneider.com to the same website so you can use either URL to get to my site. The site functions as a hub, with links to this site, missionbliss.com (which is still not fully built out yet), and my flickrstream. It also has a brand new “About” page and a link to my mashup feed, which combines the feeds from this site with flickr, twitter, velog and delicious. Please go and check it out!
