Practice Day #10: I'm happy that I'm shooting beverage for my day-10 of practice, at least now I know what I'm gonna look for after this: acrylic ice cubes! That would add extra sparkle to this enticing color composition :)
Active Assignment Weekly: Capture Your Country
I know Joe already went with this theme for America, but it's one of the first photos I took for this assignment but wasn't sure about it. Then I noticed some details I liked and decided to go for it. SOOC, except for a little clarity enhancement.
Active Assignment Weekly: Jan 18-25 "Details"
Rumpleteazer is one of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen. He has just as much spunk as when my mom saved him from the side of the road many years ago.
There is a color version of this in my photostream as well, but I thought the b&w highlighted the details a little more effectively for the AAW.
"And when you heard a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
Or down from the library came a loud ping
From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming
Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat?
It was Mungojerrie! And Rumpleteazer!"
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!”

Nom nom nom? Anyways. I've always enjoyed grossing people out by obnoxiously eating with my mouth wide open. In my mouth are chocolate, crackers, frosted Mini-wheats, and Cheerios. Why not macro this and see the details of the chewed up food mixed with the saliva?
OK, so what can you _actually_ do with a pair of knives to make them interesting? I'm not sure, but here is my attempt. Maybe next time I will use the Bojangle's Box afterall :-)

Strobist Bootcamp II Assignment I - Headshots
She is a freelance web designer and programmer, and this headshot is supposed to go in her promotion website (she's also my girlfriend, maybe worth mentioning :P).
* Strobist info :
- Vivitar 285 with white shoot-through umbrella at camera left as key-light, slightly taller than subject's head. Dunno about power setting, just about enough ;)
- Nikon Sb28 as second light at camera right, behind subject, to give cross-light for the camera right side. Zoom at 85mm. It is turned off in her case.
- Sunpak 888afz, with 1 stop ND and cookie (laptop cooling base fan), to light (very) off-white background (I *really* should paint my living room).

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.
I love my 50mm lens, at least at the moment, we had a few teething problems and still have our moments
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.
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?
Shot for Active Assignment Weekly, theme "In the style of Yasuhiro Ogawa".
WIT Just like Felix, I had sudden snow during our long weekend stay in Berlin. It was magnificent and of course we also took a day trip in the city on bicycle. In that snow... It was great.
I edited the shot in what I think to be the style of Yasuhiro Ogawa. Made some of it darker, some I lit up (especially the umbrella) and I added a Dutch Angle. It was a fun assignment!
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 >_<

Assignment 52 -- My own favorite shots from 2013
(A shot which combines several techniques I've explored this year-- light painting, black backgrounds, & HDR. Different parts of vase & flowers & surface were illuminated in various shots & combined after experimenting with combinations.)

July 2009 - The third of six writing assignments this month.
I comment about my life and opinions in my eJournal and images every single day.
As an assignment, we had to shoot 3 fashion portraits in the studio. I wanted to do a raw urban style shoot & asked my nephew Joey if he wanted to model for me.
The result is this series of 3. Note: the lightbeam connects these 3 pictures, too bad they are in reverse order haha!
