Light/ shadow play at Museo Pambata, Manila

Check out Indy and Alex's moves at the Museo Pambata

The background screen is made from a light sensitive material. A light flashes periodically which captures their outline on the background screen. It is the same concept we also had a lot of fun exploring at the Loris Malaguzzi Centre in Reggio Emilia. See here.

Light play - Indy creates a complete disco station with Blu-Tack and loose parts!

One finger light quickly becomes four. With no input at all, she sticks each light to shine on the mirror ball. How does she know?

She then spins the mirror ball to create the most beautiful light show (that is impossible to capture in a photo).

Winter celebration of light

Despite there being so little light through a European winter, Indy and I are still finding enough to photograph light through glass. We are working our way through Nana's incredible glass collection! And playing with our distorted glass lenses. Look at the beautiful colours we are seeing and the effects of the distorted glass.

Indy's started learning how to process photos - contrast/ sharpness/ exposure/ colour temperature - using the simple tools you get when you open a photo on the Mac: Preview-Tools-Adjust Color. Indy moves slider while I hold click. And we've been noticing how this simplifies the image.

We're discovering that there are so many possible variations when changing these parameters.
