For this series of images, I was with my friends working on a car. The first image shows my point of view, or a "straight-on" POV. The image in the middle shows a bug's POV because it was taken low to the ground, and shows a pile of bolts. The last image shows a bird's POV.
Assignment: Take a photograph capturing "preparation"
Restrictions: Must include a person or persons (may be just a hand or other small part)

This is a photo of my husband spicing up our ribs for dinner. He watched a show on using spices and learned that Allspice was good on meats. Converted to b/w in LR and added clarity, contrast and grain

Sorry about the poor quality, it's a screenshot from a webcam. This is from one of my university assignments dealing with augmented reality. The program we are using tracks markers and places an object on them in 3D space, so in reality we can't see those objects on the markers, but they are displayed on the screen exactly how it is presented in this photo. These objects are part of a demo, we didn't make them ourselves.

Product Lighting/Custom Color Printing joint assignment:
using fruits and/or vegtables of your choosing created two 8x10 color prints, one demonstrating saturated colors, and one demonstrating desaturated color(s).
This is my saturated image.
taken with: Mamiya C220 on Kodak Portra 160NC.
scanned full frame on an Imacrom mulit-format drum film scanner.
Ah, the door to the deck outside.
These were taken as assigned by Haint for his Masterclass MC03. The assignment was to "shoot nothing", shoot lots and at random, without aiming in any way. So I put my camera on continuous shot and flung it around inside my home office loftspace and the deck outside it. These are a few of the 261 shots I actually like...even a lot. Of course they aren't of "nothing" and, of course, they aren't "random" Instead, the ones I post here actually tell something about what I like and what makes me anxious here in this place.
Assignment:
for this week theme your photographic eye should look for something "artificial".
No restriction, just be creative and have fun.
How about some artificial sweetener?
This week's assignment: "Film Noir", French for "black film". This will probably be a more difficult assignment that will require much more preparation because mood as well as lighting are important aspects as well as creating a story.
Here is Wikipedia's definition:
"Film noir is a cinematic term used primarily to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that emphasize cynical attitudes and sexual motivations. Hollywood's classic film noir period is generally regarded as stretching from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir of this era is associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style that has roots in German Expressionist cinematography. Many of the prototypical stories and much of the attitude of classic noir derive from the hardboiled school of crime fiction that emerged in the United States during the Depression."
Think of old movies, such as The Maltese Falcon" or relatively new ones like "Sin City".
For this assignment, I volunteered to photograph the support staff and volunteers at my son’s elementary school for the year book. This is Brenda, the crossing guard helping two students cross the street on Halloween. Over the next month or so I have 30 more to do.
Strobist info:
SB800 camera left, at full power, iso=200, f10, 1/180
The assignment of the week: Rule of Thirds. I got excited and went straight away to demonstrate an example. Sorry for being so sudden about it XD.
Minimum photos to submit: 1
Maximum photos to submit: 5
Last date for submissions: 1/22/2010 (Next Friday)
Resolution should not exceed 600pxl on the longest side (horizontal or vertical)
Heavy post processing will disqualify the submissions. Only contrast adjustments and cropping allowed.
This is what I can think of right now. I'll try to give it more thoughts later and update the rules and other related stuff to make it better. Now I have to study to make up for the time I lost preparing all of this >_<

Cooking Light Assignment Attempt 1. I'm attempting to play with a negative look for this, with only highlights revealing the form of the subject. I like the way the blue plays off of the scoop, though I'm not overly pleased with the overall composition. I'll probably try again soon, possibly with a different subject in a similar setup.
Strobist: 1 LP180 camera left, full power to blow out background. 1 LP180 High camera right 1/4 power gelled blue for highlights.

My first assignment as a newspaper photographer was to shoot the grand opening of an Ethan Allen furniture store. I could not capture the image I wanted because at that time, I only had a 200mm telephoto lens and a 50mm normal lens. A chaperone mirror helped me get the wide-angle subject coverage I needed.
I was pleased that my city editor was pleased with my image.
I immediately invested in a wide-angle lens.
This image was shot on Kodak Tri-X with a 50mm lens on a Miranda Sensorex 35mm SLR in the summer of 1968.
