Build your own bed

-
OK, so I need a new bed. Frames can be really expensive, and it's also pretty difficult to find something that's just right. So I searched around online and found this great blog by Ana White with a post about some beds she made. I wanted a UK queen sized frame, so decided to set about making my own SketchUp drawing. I also wanted to give the appearance of a 'floating' frame, so made some changes to the structure to allow the legs to be set in slightly. I am yet to build it, but thought I'd post my 'artists impression' of what I want it to look like. When I get round to putting it together, I'll post step-by-step instructions with detailed SketchUp drawings, and when I know it will actually work I'll provide a link to the Warehouse so you can download the file if you'd like to make your own. So anyway, without further ado, the picture!

What (the fuck) is HDR?

-

A few years back, I was standing in a rock bar in Ibiza (the Pinguin Bar, but that's another story) chatting to a friend of a friend about photography. He introduced me to the concept of HDR over a few beers, so I went back home and did some learning. There are many places where you can read about how HDR works, but this is the quick and dirty answer. Cameras can't see as well as the human eye (which is pretty shit hot when it comes to seeing stuff) - a great example of this is during F1 (Grand Prix? Motorsport? Oh, nevermind...) where a car goes through a tunnel - as the end of the tunnel approaches all you can see is a huge white light. Now, when I drive my car through a tunnel and out the other side I don't have this problem, as my eyes kick the camera's arse at this.

Finished baffle wall for garage cinema

-

More progress today with the baffle wall construction. The main job was to create an MDF face to fit onto the framework - this photo shows the first board cut to size and fixed in place ready to measure up for the speaker cut outs. The way I got the cut outs just right is to reach behind and use a pencil to run along the top edge of the shelf, drawing a line on the back of the MDF. Click through to see more photos of how it ended up!

Photoshopped London Phone Box

Photoshopped London Phone Box Originally uploaded by Daveaphillips I wanted to make a moody version of this photo so I dived into Photoshop, desaturated some of the sky and darkened areas of the image, leaving colour only in the phone box. I think this photo now feels more like London really is.
