Shooting for a purpose
Jan 5th 2014
I must admit I thought the assignment wanted just the image (with no text) but I note all the others so far have text added - so I did!
The meaning is obvious, I hope. An Agency specialising in counselling services for those experiencing marriage or relationship problems.
On reflection I wish the crack was a bit narrower, but I hope the meaning is clear. :)
Two images. The bells and the cracked earth background showing through. Blended in PSE5 and text added there too.

Submitted to Active Assignment Weekly. This week's assignment was b craw
Inspiration: I wanted to research b craw in more detail. Find out more about what makes him tick, what his inspiration is, and whether he has material available for exploration in addition to his pictures here at flickr. So I followed the link from his flickr profile to his homepage. On the welcome page, he explains his work this way:
The predicates of my work are familiar--yet, ultimately in-locatable--contexts, wherein collective cultural-mythic structures and my biography coalesce to play upon art image/object as substance and residue, fixed autonomous form and frictional fluidity; it is a phrenetic process that forms, re-forms, and erases cultural and biographical loci via the intrinsic mutability of artistic practice.
And that was the inspiration for this picture.
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!”
― T.S. Eliot, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
I downloaded a new app to my ipad called Assignment. It has wonderful ideas to get me back to and motivated to shooting more often.
Doing the strobist assignment at the beach
Strobist Info:
- 1 bare flash on model right
- gold reflector below
For this assignment I decided to go with colour instead of B&W since I wanted to incorporate gels into the equation. I thought the red adds that element of impending action about to take place...
Another light or a reflector could've helped to improved background separation. Next time...
Strobist: sb-24 snooted with gobo blinds and gobo of person silhouette 1/16 power hard left of camera with red gel; sb-80dx 1/32 power with grid spot, camera right and high.

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.

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.

First attemp on the assignment TwPhCh #63 : Splash (Full sprut)
Maintarget this week is to further enhance skills i Elements 8.0. This picture has undergone RAW-adjustment with increasing contrast and sharpness to max. Light where also reduced to a minimum. In PSE 8 I did a slight background-blur and a mask on the water. To further mimic water as almost ice; sharpness-adjusment and high-pass filter. Some dodge and burn finally. (Also a little bit vignetting to soften up the corners)
You have to go for the View Big On Black to enjoy the details in the water
The first that came to my mind, was playing with water. I´ve seeked a lot of inspiration by other flickr-members. And this idea came across when looking at the explore-pages.
Ì also like to announce the arrival of Canon EOS 50D. Hopefully I will be able to shoot in "live view" during the week.
