I took a walk along the water at Seahurst Park after work tonight. Rays of sunlight shine through the clouds: Sunlight over the Olympic Mountains starts to turn orange for sunset: A small wave breaks on the beach: Looking back across the sand as I was leaving:
Last week I wrote about the lighbox I was building with a cardboard box and 2 500w halogen lights. Pretty much everyone’s first comment when I mentioned this to friends was “try not to burn the house down.” This week, I have finished a darkbox: Which is just an LED … Continue reading
