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...
I took this picture from where a worm may be sitting. In addition, I liked the pattern and saw this picture in black and white.
I've now moved on from DPS assignments(more's the pity) You can follow my blog as I explore New Zealand here-
Believe me, this was way harder to achieve than it looks. I had to do two trips to the beach as I just could not get the angles right on the first day. The angles of the vertical lines changed depending on how far the camera was from the box, what the POV angle was and how wide I had my lens, and not being able to clearly see my screen on my camera didn't help either. I had to enlist Mr FKG to help me draw it today, it took over an hour to get it right(and it could have still done with some tweaking) but we were running out of light.
"Best of the Year 2012"- Sand Box
This was orignally submitted for the Forced Perspective assignment. I chose this shot for my "Best of Year" mainly because of the planning and the time & effort that went into creating it which included two visits to the beach (as I just couldn't get the angles right the first time). While it might look simple enough it was a tough challenge to draw, I had to draw around 10 large "boxes" before I finally got the right perspective.
Practice Day #9: Still from my assignment in PPSOP Food Photography course. This time we're allowed to use props and to set up a simple still-life. And I'm choosing a birthday party set-up as a theme. This week-2 assignment emphasizes on working out different angles, lenses, DOFs. This one is using 50mm/f1.8 lens.
A pretty complicated setup for a relatively plain shot. This week's submission for the next 102 assignment, the concept being 'going green'. Seeing as we are going through a phase of 'grow your own' at home, I thought that a shot symbolising this would be in order. However, I didn't bank on the unfeasibly good weather that we have for the last two days. This is great for the suntan and the bbq skills, but less so for the strobist fun, as it's far too bright to take any outdoor shots during the day.
By the time the evening comes bringing more appealing light, I've generally had a glass or two of vino (especially as there was a certain sports game this afternoon that shall not be mentioned); and I can't get my head around the finer points of subtle lighting after booze.
Strobist: SB28 in snoot rear and camera right, providing the hard directional light on the right hand side of the 'hill'. A silver 'tin foil' reflector slightly above the camera angled down to provide the main fill on the shot. Two tricky bits:
i) I had to gobo the bare light with a) my laptop (makes a good flag) and b) a bit of gaffer tape stuck to my laptop, in order to prevent nuking the stem and leaf.
ii) it was tricky to get the reflected light to hit 'just' where I wanted it, so I stuck a torch (flashlight) on top of the strobe to get an idea of what the light was doing.
Self-portrait assignment for Digital Photo class. What can I say? I'm an analog girl in a digital world!
Assignment: Leaves
only one shot as it is a very short tree and i was laying on my back on wet grass. not too nice
After I cleaned and polished my hidden armory, my phone rung. I left it until it went to voice mail. It was Carmine Falcone, he told me to meet him outside of Gotham. Pondering for a while I came up with an answer. I headed towrds Falcone. My bike came to a stop as I looked side from side, I was a bit on the edge, Falcone can't always be trusted. As soon as I went in I was searched by armed guards, they took out every gun in my pockets, luckily they didn't see my wrist guns hidden underneath my sleave. "Mister Falcone, Deadshot hasd arrived." said the guard opening the door. I stepped in side the room, my eyes searched every corner. All that was there was just a bunch of old, posh, decorrated pillars. "Ahh, Mister Deadshot. I am so glad you could come" he said whilst reaching out his well groomed hand. I shook it, but said nothing. "Come sit. I have a very important mission for which I hope you'll accept." he opened up a draw from his desk, my heart stopped as I was ready to fire my wrist gun, it was only some doccuments; I could breathe again. "You see this man. His name is Mark Hammond, he was a cop, but a undercover agent for me. He used to miss lead the cops so they wouldn't get a hold of my weapons shipments. Now he has turned on me, five of my last shipments have been abushed by cops. I need him dead. But I need you to not leave any leads pointing to me. Are you in?"
"How much?" I said pretending that I was listening the whole time.
"See Deadshot, your reward isn't money, it's pretection."
"Pretection from what?" my heart rate rose again.
"There is another war coming in Gotham. Cobblepot isn't with you anymore. If you do this, I will give my best weapons and men through out the war."
Although Falcone is a cheap, lying, scammer; he had a good offer. "I'll do it."
"And I hope you do it right. Here," he gave me some of the papers from the documents "here is a list of places your target will be this month. And if you don't succeed, you will be on your own."
Hope you like it :D
I am back from camping and I have some photos which I will upload soon.
A friend of mine started a new group called Simply Creative and this shot is for the first assignment: Find something un-interesting around the house (or wherever) and shoot it to make it more interesting. This is an artsy little ceramic grasshopper I bought in North Carolina a few years ago. I experimented with light and shadow and this is how it came out. (if you like to be a little crazy with your camera, come join us!)

This photo is about colour and slow shutter speed, blurring the movement of this dog playing in the Lake Ontario shallows. I usually use very fast shutter speeds, so this was a change for me and I think I got some nice captures that look different to what I normally take.
WIT: I have cropped the image and I brightened the image a bit.
Assignment 52 -- October Colors
The leaves around here have been very slow to turn this fall, & all the leaves in my own trees are still green. I found quite a lot of color at the Arboretum, though. So much that I had a hard time choosing for the assignment. Here's the link to others:

I went to the beach tonight with my tripod and took numerous photos of people in motion. I liked this one the best. Black and white conversion with blue filter.

Lydie's assignment 29. Movie poster. Rather plain, not as cool as I pictured it. May redo the whole thing with a new concept if I find the time. Then again, I always say that.
And yes. Again, just some simple simple frankensteining, then the mask and some shading. I'm a horrible slacker...

Assignment 52: Represent your own brand of holiday madness during this busy & festive season.
So here is Po, no more pleased to be posing with Christmas tree lights than she was the first time around, despite the caption I chose for the cards. Call it irony if you wish -- can't every holiday use some? Po actually is quite a joyful dog, & always well-rewarded for posing! (And I'm joyful that I managed to get cards printed this year! Now to start mailing---)
