Active Assignment Weekly: Reenactment of a Commercial Ad
This month I want you to take a commercial ad (print, TV, probably not radio) and reenact it.
Restriction: I do not want to see the original product in your shot and yet it should be clear what you are tributing to.
Dare: Make it even better than the original.
After finding the correct adapter to plug the lights into the cigarette lighter, we drove down to the beach and setup the Jeep and reindeer. I ran around like an idiot, snapping as many shots as possible before the battery was drained on the Jeep. It was difficult to find the original tv ad from the 1980's but here it is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xSrXpYGXCg
This month, our assignment is about the director Wes Anderson. Please post your six (new!) photos between April 1 - 23 and use the hashtag #wesandersonassignment.
This assignment might require a bit more prepping than usual, but we hope you’ll enjoy the challenge. We can’t wait to see your colorful contributions!
NO SHADES OF GREY (2x): Wes Anderson uses a beautiful range of colors in his films, like the outdoorsy greens in “Moonrise Kingdom” or the sugary pastels in “The Grand Budapest Hotel”. Gorgeous shades of red and yellow can be found throughout his work. For this assignment, post two pictures that use a very distinct, Anderson-inspired color scheme. (We’ll post some helpful links on our facebook page)
WORLDS UNLIMITED: If there is one thing that can be learned from Anderson’s films it’s that life cannot be controlled. As a director, however, he often creates self-contained, miniature worlds that have their own set of rules. Try to create one of your own and photograph a scene where everything seems to be in its right place - like the infamous “dollhouse” shots in “The Darjeeling Unlimted” or “The Grand Budapest Hotel”
LOCATION SCOUT: Find a building (or a ship… or a treehouse… or a train...) that could be the backdrop for a Wes Anderson movie. Try to keep the lines straight.
SYMMETRY YRTEMMYS: As Anderson is a bit of a neat freak, the assignment could not be complete without an über-symmetrical shot. Whether it’s a mirrored frame or a clearly delineated center, whether it evolves around an object or people is up to you. Just make sure there is a structural balance to it (but try to look beyond common motifs like staircases and subways)
BONUS ASSIGNMENT - CREW ZISSOU: An hommage to the iconic outfit Bill Murray and his crew sport in “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou”. A picture of someone in a red hat. It can be a selfie or someone you know (or, if you’re lucky enough, a busy stranger)
PS: You can use #wesandersonassignment_outtake for photos that didn’t make it into your final selection.
Active Assignment Weekly: "Through the eyes of a child"
Can you remember what it’s like to be a child? When you look back, you see those years through rose-colored glasses and it’s all happy memories. Do you watch how your children, nieces and nephews, or friends’ children interact with the world around them? It’s fascinating to watch. This week capture and share an image conveying the world through the eye of a child.
A few ideas: Everything is new, Everyone is a possible friend, You can be anything, The world is full of possibilities, You do things "just because".
WIT: My eight-year old grandson considering his next Scrabble move. The glass table didn't make for great composition, but in the interests of getting a submission in after a long break, I submitted anyway. Cropped but otherwise SOOC. He went on to win the game (with a little help!).
Open - Closed
Awake - Asleep
Dark Edged - Light Edged
This is my first attempt at trying to do something like this. There is lots of room for improvement and I will try again.
Used my own texture from a tree trunk.
Self Portrait.....LOL..... I should get a better face cream.
Assignment: Life and Light
-------------------------------------
Portray spirit of life (people, pets, other animals, birds) with good light and shadow!
Have fun :-)
DARE: Depict passion or spirit or enthusiasm of life.
RESTRICTION: Try to use a single, original image. Colour saturation, cropping ... to enhance photo OK, but no 'extreme' photo shopping.
What it took:
This is Feliciano Lopez. Apart from being gorgeous, he's also the #32 ranked male tennis player in the world. This photo was taken when he was practising during the Australian Open held in Melbourne.
There were hordes of women taking photos of him (understandably!) so I could only get to a spot looking into the sun. There was slight cropping involved and a little fill-in light added.
As for spirit of life... you can almost see the blood flowing through his veins and almost feel the energy it takes to hit one tennis stroke.
This my first submission in a FlickR group so please let me know if I've neglected to do anything. Thanks :)

I really just wanted to focus and emphasis on the collar bones and the way they have a very distinct and unique look to them.
Assignment 52: Creating depth
"Select a scene that has one subject approximately 6 feet away from you, a second subject approximately 20 feet from you, and a third subject about 40 feet or more (even very far away) from you. Select an aperture that will result in all three subject being in sharp focus."
Well, I didn't exactly nail the "sharp focus" part, though I did choose an aperture to take advantage of the sunburst. The installation is by the Polish sculptor, Magdalena Abakanosicz -- 106 towering headless, armless figures.
This assignment turned out to be a difficult but very interesting challenge. Seems a straightforward exercise in composition, which it would be in drawing or painting. But finding these subjects in natural settings, at the approximate prescribed distances, in a pleasing spatial relationship fitting into camera frame, & without too much intervening clutter, turned out to be difficult. An additional unforeseen dilemma once one does manage to lead the eye into the scene, is it an interesting enough place for the eye to want to go?
Write a short paragraph describing how you consider young people choose their friends, spouse, and place to live.
Active Assignment Weekly: June 6-13: Nature's Geometric Shapes
Being an engineer, it has always fascinated me how nature can construct geometric shapes (circles,triangles,pentagons, hexagons... and on and on) so perfectly. We mortal beings must use rulers, compasses, and straight edges to create such things.
For the assignment, photograph a geometric shape created by nature.
There used to be dew on the spider's web, before I got up this morning. So I simply replaced it with a spray mist of water. SOOC. I don't have close up or macro lenses, so this is a close as I could get.
Surreal Assignment.
We had to make a surrealist photo using pictures or images from the internet or what we have taken. I took all of these photos minus the space one.

Assignment 52:Represent your own brand of holiday madness during this busy & festive season
This isn't exactly my own holiday madness. Or maybe you could say that it is, since the only reason I was here to witness this scene was my wintry drive from Chicago down to northern Georgia, to fetch my dog who's with a field trial pro & bring him home for the holidays. But while I was down here, enjoying the balmier temperatures (mid 50's!), I went off to a nearby town, where a most excellent restaurant is located, to find this scene in the town square. Blaring piped-in Christmas songs (as opposed to Christmas carols) & a fake blizzard! And crowds, loving it! (And what I needed was a vodka gimlet at that most excellent restaurant---)
Strobist:
Vivitar 285HV on 1/2, camera right, shot through Cardboard "bars". Triggered with Cactus V4s.
Took tons of shots of the fountain at Watersprings in I.F., but ended up liking this one of the bushes the best for the hikey assignment.

Our final project for a Design Basics 3D class was to fabricate and fly a kite. Here one of my classmates is carring the box kite she made.
