Here is the lantern photo that the text book team decided to use. It was really fun to have an assignment and find different ways to illustrate their theme,
The comment has the book design.
Back in 1979, I was taking photography classes through the University of Maryland while stationed in Schwetzingen, Germany, The assignment was depth of field.
I don't think this is exactly what my instructor wanted when he gave us our assignment for this week. I love it!
Photo taken through a dirty window looking into the bathhouse at Coe Hall. The purpose of the interiors assignment is to learn how to adjust the camera for the various types of light encountered indoors. Used the polarized filter here.
I don't think I'm ever going to make page 1 of Explore...... sigh......
Here was another treatment of the lantern and lighting. I was going for the homey look with the dish cabinet. Neither this one or Assignment 1 was chosen. But I had fun thinking of new ways to show a lantern.
Dark, mysterious....... I'll take many more photos for this assignment!
I love stairways. Especially the winding, marble stairway at the New York Public Llibrary.
Styling assignment: Camera: Canon 1DX Mark II. Lens: Canon 24-70mm, f/4.5, SS: 1/50, ISO 200. Light source: Canon 600EXII-RT Speedlight w/Impact 24" x 24" Quickbox with grid. Note: Child was not sitting on a shelf. He was laying with his back on the floor. Image was shot from above.
I took this photograph for a Weekend Assignment and Contest group (www.flickr.com/groups/weekend_assignment/). This week's theme is "exploring heritage".
This is Central Lake, MI where I currently live. My family has lived in this town for a really long long while. My Uncle lives in the house where my dad was born, just outside of town. The house is on land that was a portion of the original homestead made by my father's family more than 5 generations back. It's interesting to realize that the old photo here showed the town as it would have looked when my grandpa came here to do his shopping!
One of Conrail’s former Erie/EL E8’s escaped the fate of its roster mates, who gave up their prime movers to the DeWitt Geep RS3 re-engine program. Shortly after the consolidation, Conrail’s management elected to institute a business train, and the motive power department chose former Erie/EL 833 to be the streamlined face of the corporate conveyance. Several office cars and the 4022 emerged from the paint shop in Conrail blue, and remained that way until the office car train was expanded and painted dark Pullman green in the early 1980’s. Between OCS assignments, the 4022 frequently spent time on the New York & Long branch commuter line in New Jersey. Here the blue streamliner descends the ramp to the South Amboy engine house.
Assignment 52 -- "Fine Art" -- what might you hang on your wall?
This assignment inspired me to experiment with HDR, to attempt an "old masters'" sort of glow to a still life. Amazingly fun & addictive!
(Shot in natural light, late afternoon sun.)
This little gem is on private property, I finally got a glimpse of it thru the vegetation now that the leaves are mostly gone......
This was a heavenly transfer...Thanks to Wayne who suggested my own transfer program would resize when I export...it worked GREAT!!!!!
Assignment 7 - Shoot in A, S, and M Modes.
This was shot in Shutter Priority Mode so I could lock in the long exposure time needed to capture the car lights as a blur.
I ended up changing the Shutter speed a lot before I was able t find what would work for this environment. To short and the cars ended up frozen. To long and everything got very confusing as to many cars came by. In this case 3-4 seconds seemed to work well
For my school assignment we had to take photos imitating a photographer. I got my inspiration for this photo from Lissy Elle Laricchia. Who is amazing, I was so excited to go out and shoot, which I haven't done in long time. I drove maybe 50 miles to this destination and when I got there I took 3 photos and my camera died. Cried. And then came home and got this.
This was my first assignment with my Olympus gear.
Camera: Olympus OM-D E-M5
Lighting: Camera off-flash using a Canon 580 EXII
Triggers: Pocket wizard X and Plus II
One flash at One O'clock.
(Would like to see a BTS, go to my pool).
This is a pano from 5 vertical shots. We dont get much cool weather here in SoCal, so I was happy to see these clouds, which were actually a different shot from later in the day.
Strobist: bare 550ex about 6 feet from subject on camera right, and another on camera left.
I took out a tree in the background, but you can still see the reflection...
