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.

I took a walk to the coastline today, the weather forecast was good but not very accurate... Of course that gives nice skies and light, but also quite some rain. I used one of my lomography lenses today, which is manual focus and actually best suitable for my analoge Leica M6, but I also have an adapter to connect it to a Canon camera. The shots are a bit soft, in post I used the (very effective) Lightroom function "select sky" and tweaked several slides to bring out light and contrast.
This is a picture of the Kurhaus, which is an old hotel with a lot of grandeur. Unfortunately it nowadays is surrounded by less beautiful constructions.
Assignment: Leaves

Shot for Active Assignment Weekly, theme "Dreams"
WIT
No idea where it comes from, but every month I have a dream about taking exams in high school or university and failing miserably. Those times are long gone, so is the slide rule, replaced by digital calculators.
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!)
Submission for Active Assignment Weekly: Nov 30 - Dec 7 "Tension"
I see two forms of "Tension" here: 1) the tension between seasons, and 2) the natural tension of the plant covering itself so tightly. I did some post processing to remove distractions and get closer to the "tense" part of the flower.

These five photographs show my love of travel and adventure. I would take both my memories of Norway, where my husband was born and of Japan where I have dear friends with me on my journey. It is appropriate in a way with my wonderful but different experiences of these two countries echo this assignment. My experience of Norway is of being foreign and coming to feel at home. I have learned to speak the language and identify with this small community-centered culture. I love Norwegian food and customs. Could I ever feel at home like this on my new distant planet? Perhaps that is where Japan comes in. I have visited three times and enjoy the energy of the cities and the beauty of the countryside. I have dear friends here, but I will never feel at home. I come to accept that I will never fully understand what is happening or what the customs are before I do something not quite right. I simple apologize a great deal and enjoy the unexpected nature of every interaction. I sense that perhaps my experience on my new planet might be more like this - - never again at home and always trying to understand but enjoying the challenge.
My favorite two are the "View toward the Vega Archipelago" and "Buddha and Monk, Nara, Japan" Each of these photographs expresses my need for contemplation both in nature and in sacred places. They would be comforting in the journey away from all I know and love.

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.
As you can see, I have a lot to work on this weekend. All of my assignments are due on Monday, so time to get crackin'. Oh, and when I'm doing writing assignments for my class, I have to then grade final exams and assignemtns from my students.
One more week . . .

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.
New toy: a 105mm macro lens. Not the Nikkor, but I think I'll have fun with this one. Playing around for a few minutes here, learning to find the sweet spot for focusing...
This is my take on a colourful monochrome shot without falling back on black and white. It's a double layer straw lamp shade with the light shining through. I like how warm this shot turned out.

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---)
