Taken with a 13mm extension tube behind an 18-55 mm lens.

Luckily it fits the theme for my class perfectly

Cooking & Cameras


Next week's picture project for my Wednesday evening class is Pancake Day, I may extend it to food in general.
Hopefully this handout will provide some inspiration. Regular readers of these pages will have spotted this handout previously.

A Neat nightime photography taken by Flikr member David Roessli on 12th December.

His Exif data tells us it was taken on a Ricoh GR a rather smart pocket camera. It must have been set on Program mode as the ISO 154 1/3rd sec f2.4.

Flash Meter


Calumet has brought out its own flash and ambient lightmeter(£119.99). A nice electronic job made in Germany it will rival the Sekonic L308 BII. The following is the blurb from the Calumet site:
The DFM 3 Digital Flashmeter measures ambient light and flash readings with precision digital accuracy for perfect exposures. Its digital LCD provides readings in tenth of stops while its analog contrast display provides readings in half stops simultaneously. The DFM 3 is capable of incident and reflective readings and its unique swivel head makes it easy to adapt the meter to both modes. Other features include the ability to take flash readings with and without a sync cord, storage of settings and readings and programmable exposure correction.
The DFM 3’s swivel head can rotate through 180°. This feature allows the photographer to read the values measured in the display, while the measuring head is directed towards the subject or light source.
