Caitlyn helped me with an assignment for class to shoot in the style of photographer Sally Mann, which produced the darker pictures and then the light ones i shot for fun (:
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.
Assignment 52 -- Freeze action
Before the week is over, I may yet be able to get something different from my favorite action model, Po. But it's been so cold, not much is stirring, & I haven't been motivated to get out & search & experiment, so here is my tried & true. Except that using shutter priority is different for me -- my favorite action shots of my dogs have been taken in aperture priority, so there's the "stretch" -- seeing if I could make that work. This shot didn't much impress me until I tried it in B & W, where it seems to work better.
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.
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.
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.
Active Assignment Weekly: June 27 - July 4: Body Parts
Your assignment is to photograph body parts. Keep the props, or clothing to a minimum and really focus in on a body part. With that said PLEASE remember the group rules and keep it clean.
Dare: Make it abstract or hard to tell what part of the body you have chosen (please refrain from the cliche arm or leg crack made to look like a butt)
Restriction: No full face or full body shots, and as stated before no naughty areas.
WIT: Struggled with this one really. Finally lassoed a willing model, and as I was taking photos of the back of his neck, I saw this shot. We were both amazed at how freckled his fingers are as shown in the shot. Taken outside in evening cloudy light. Desaturated reds and added an inverted highpass filter with soft light blending after contrast and brightness adjustments. No cropping. I know it's grainy, but so is the owner of this fist.

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".

Shot for Active Assignment Weekly, theme "Something Wild".
WIT
Look at this! This brute of a Seagull murders and eats a coot that he probably overpowered. Also shot from the confinement of my own garden. Beautiful weather but nowhere to go to. But you don't have to go on safari to see the struggle of life.

Late morning sun behind.
Umbrella'd SB-80 at camera right.
Money's tight right now, but her mom really wanted photos of Bella. There were happy ones, but this one is my fave of the Balance shots from this series, and was much more characteristic of Bella's mood on this morning.
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.

this is a photo of the second part of a photo class assignment i had to present this week. for the assignment we were to make a walk and then also make an intervention of some sort in the environment. for inspiration we were introduced to the work of Richard Long and other walking artists.
for my walk and intervention i went to our property on the north end of Vancouver Island. a few weeks ago there was a landslide in the area and the land mass on the edge of our property and to the south of it underwent a drastic change. i don't have before photographs but a creek that could hardly be seen because of forest and thick undergrowth was now a 100 ft wide open area with trees down everywhere. a pullout between the road and the ocean that could easily fit 5 trucks was now completely gone.
i walked and took photographs of the landslide clean up and then went into the forest nearby and cleared a small area, set out bowls, filled them with earth and pine cones and then lit incense. then i took the bowls of ashes and earth down to the creek and submerged them in the creek.
i've posted each of the photos in this work on my website here
