In bed #2
This extraordinary sculpture was aquired by the Qld Art Gallery Foundation earlier this year.
I used one of my bendy lenses, this one made by my husband Scott, using the knowledge aquired by RanD from ArtBending and Matt Penfold. Between them they’ve come up with an amazing little piece of equipment that allows me to add my own touch to my digital imaging. My contribution to this piece of hardware was the carefully positioned black duct tape….
Canon 5D Mk II, Bendy lens at f/0, 1/100”, ISO 400

You make her come alive!

Love it your pic. And how did we ever survive without duck tape?
I remember when my dad brought a roll home from USAF summer camp, where different marketers tried out their bright ideas. That same year he brought home a test single-cup package of hot chocolate! Wonderful stuff- never have to mess around with trying to saturate cocoa powder in cold water again!!

“Info on what, Jim? there’s so much to share….lol” I mean your bendy lens Mel :))))
Mel Brackstone replied
Here and here and Matt’s initial instructions here
It’s still evolving. Matt altered a lens I’d received from Ran, now Scott is trying to make something using the knowledge we’ve gained from all the input….hopefully I’ll have pics of the device soon, preferably without the duct tape :)
Jim Robertson
Thanks Mel for taking the time to fill me in. Sorry …. I missed your previous journals. :(
Mel Brackstone replied
no worries Jim, there’ll be more, you can count on it :)
