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.

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.
This assignment was about the choice and use textures and backgrounds to complement or contrast.

In shooting this plant, my first concern was "trying to tame the chaos." This plant possessed a fierceness to it, with petals and shapes going every which way. I found it seductive but extremely busy. Did I want deep DOF with front to back sharpness, or did I wish to go soft and romantic with shallow DOF focusing on the some petal edges closest to me? (I went deep.)
The vibrancy and color of this plant is always a troublesome one for me (and my cameras). Do I go for auto white balance or custom? (I went both.) I shot against a white background under soft, natural light (basically northern sky) to eliminate shifting color-of-light temp issues.
After shooting was done, I picked the image I liked most and started to process it. I often work fast as I process. Music sometimes sets my mood and pace; other times it reflects it. When working fast I tend to work more intuitively (feeling) and not consciously (thought), although I'd be uncomfortable trying to put a % to that mix.
Periodically I stop to see if the image is looking as I want.
Oddly enough, if an image isn't "making it," I seldom start over from scratch (raw file). I don't know why. I just make corrections as I go, usually by adding layers (sometimes I label these layers, sometimes I don't; I wish I always did. I get lazy). In my younger days I studied painting (oil and acrylics). You don't chuck a canvas when something isn't working, you just paint over it (the Mona Lisa is about 30 layers deep. Yes, 30!) That attitude still lives for me.
Image done. Then to the assignment. Pick a texture - again, a mainly intuitive process. Apply and process it. Adjust color (hue, saturation, contrast), blur, sharpen, depth to suit. Process more. This can often take as much work or a long to do as processing the image. Most times I use only one texture (repeated as desired. On occasion, two. Seldom more).
Now the process feels more purposeful. Analyze the image with a conscious eye, looking for what's working, what's not, what do I want? Make changes; sometimes really itsy-bitsy ones that no one will ever see or note, and I probably won't remember having made.
Finally I get to, "Enough. I'm done. It's done."
The great, New Wave film-maker, Francois Truffaut is reported to have said about film-making, "You you start a film, you want to make a truly Great Movie. Halfway though, you're working to make a Good Movie. By the end you just want to get the damn thing done and not be ashamed of it."
Yep. Sounds about right.
Texture: my own.
Active Assignment Weekly July 17 - 24: Whimsy
WIT: I took a picture of this celestial observatory, and thought it would be whimsical if the "Hand of God" came out of the clouds, as if to say, "NO PEEKING!!!". So I took a picture of my hand, cut it out and pasted it to this picture. I also added a bit of texture and saturation to give a more surreal feel to the image.
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.)
On our vacation to the New Brunswick we were visiting this old farm and found these three beautiful kittens in the barn. They were so friendly we wanted to take them home.

Assignment 52 / Perspective
I took this back in May but the original image had some bokeh that was actually distracting fromt he subject. I'm only now getting around to the PP. The texture is actually masking a couple of problems areas I wasn't sure how to make better. But I think the texture pulled everything together.
Thanks to Les Brumes for use of the texture. www.flickr.com/photos/lesbrumes/sets/72157613199718163/
Four ex BCOL’s sit idling by the Delaware and Lackawanna shed, in Scranton PA awaiting its next assignment.
Yesterday CSX did an amazing job of celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Clinchfield's annual Santa Claus train, by repainting F7 800 into its former Clinchfield colors. It certainly celebrated the history, and time honored tradition bringing smiles to many children along the CRR with a visit from Old Saint Nick. Back in October 2012, I was returning to Romney, W. Va after spending 2 days on a Carl Franz charter with the WMSR 734 under screaming foliage and dome skies. I was headed to the W&W the next day and figured I'd stop by Romney, W.VA to see about a night shot of "C&O" 8016. As I began to set up, the owner of the engine appeared and graciously started it up and worked the lights for a quick night shot. The 8016's regular assignment was hauling tourists on the SBVR's "Potomac Eagle". Little did anyone realize the dream of seeing this engine at "Streamliners in Spencer" in 2014, nor did they ever imagine seeing this old girl restored to its former glory of Clinchfield 800.

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.
Assignment 7 - Shoot in A, S, and M Modes.
This was shot in Shutter Priority Mode so that I can lock in a 30 second exposure to blur out the ripples on the water, and capture trails from planes on the way to land at SeaTac.
30 seconds was as far as my camera will go without going to Bulb.
This is a pretty self-explanatory picture; these are the tips of several Crayola crayons.
I've owned these crayons for a few years now, so as you can see, most of them have been used, while a few others are in brand new condition.
This picture was taken as part of an assignment on color for my photography class.
