Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: April 27-May 4, 2015 - Eat your veggies!
I liked the shape of this tomato and then I just saw this week assignment, so it was easy to choose! Just selecting some light angle and a blurred clear background
My new guitar...
I took this picture just to show off my new guitar. I also wanted to play around with a 'light thru the blinds' shot that I saw in a lot of the 'noir' submissions from the Lighting 102 assignment. After seeing the finished shot it occurred to me that it might make a reasonable submission for the 'Cross, Balanace, Sculpt' assignment as well... although I've got more Balance and Sculpt than Cross... but oh well :)
Strobist info: Metz 45 outside shooting in thru the blinds at 1/4 power. Viv 285hv camera left (almost even with subject) shooting at 1/2 power thru a Rogue grid (25 degrees).
taken for active assignments weekly - occupation.
a different kind of work at my company. the guy standing must be the project lead. the remaining must be code monkeys. (i guess the manager must be sitting down somewhere in a cabin)
dedication and hardwork is something i could learn from them for this new year :-)
what it took:
waiting for evening
hunting around in the construction site
a warning from a policeman for taking pictures in a secure zone
adjusting the perspective in photoshop to playdown a certain killer angle :-)
Done for Photography Critique Assignments. Subject: Low Key
What it Took: I have usually preferred full tonal pictures and have never before attempted a low key photo (on purpose) . So I view some of the examples and the tutorials and went to work
A single light source. Why not my computer which my wife claims sees my face more than she does And if the computer why not "Photography Critique Assignments"?
I set the tripod very close to me and used a wide angle lens. The lens was not more than 18 inches from the back of my head. I turned of the lights in the room. I set the camera on Aperture priority and the EV compensation to -1.0.
I used a tripod and the self-timer. I had used this self-timer so infrequently in the past that it took me a dozen tries to get it figured out.
On the computer I removed some extraneous light coming in from the left of the computer and adjusted the curves. The computer screen still looked to bright so I isolated in and adjusted the levels selectively. I had to also add some brightness and contrast to my head.

This week's assignment, "A view from here"
I am cherishing this view more and more with our impending move back north.
Years ago, on a hike through Eastern Oregon's Strawberry Mountains, the woman leading our little group of (not very fit and kinda scared) hikers taught us a little song:
"Be careful what you lean on/It may not hold you up/Or lean freely/And be prepared to make an art of falling."
Most of my adult life, I've made an art of jumping off figurative cliffs without a parachute.
I've quit jobs - and entire careers - without any idea what would come next. I've moved halfway across a continent to pursue a new opportunity that scared the hell out of me. I've dived into chances for love without knowing whether there would be any future in it, and lived through the consequences, even when they ripped my heart apart.
And now, standing on the brink of old age, not knowing what the future may bring ... I can honestly say I don't regret a thing.

AAW Assignment-Fancy Pants
When I first bought these suspenders, the wife balked because she said they "aged" me. I promised I would not wear them outside the back yard so we were good to go...
Seems that the wife has now changed her attitude and wants me to wear them whenever there is a chance that I might have to bend over.
WIT: Wife pulling trigger.
The brief for PwDP Assignment Five is, apparently, oriented towards photojournalism - photograph an event and market the results to relevant publications. This series is my own response. The background is in my blog, here - stansocapwdp.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Assignment Five.
It relates to a major sporting 'event' of the summer - The Ashes Test Series of cricket matches between England & Australia - but also to my research of contemporary still life photography for Assignment Four; questions around the way photographers might respond to image-saturation in the digital/internet world; and maybe questions around the 'truth' of photographic images. The intended outcome is a series of large prints but, hopefully, these digital versions provide some sense of what is intended.

Love the signo white pen, but the bic correction pen works well when the uniball signo pen isnt available
Assignment 52 - Silhouettes
I'm fortunate to be in Georgia this week for this assignment, with fabulous light & horizons for silhouette shots. Since this is a trip to visit Po's son, Hibou, at the field trial pro's where he's in training, I'm indulging in a bunch of dog silhouettes. Here's yet another:
These are all my past assignments, which were done during the time when I was doing my MSc degree at the Oxford Uni.
Can't carry them home, so, I'd rather store them here yeah?
If it's fall then there is not one girl that isn't wearing UGG boots. They're warm and fuzzy and very fashionable for fall.
Active Assignment Weekly: Break the Rules
First I used dead/wilting flowers, and underexposed them. I also tried to break the rules of composition by placing the "heaviest" object at the top of the frame, making it look upside-down (it isn't). Hardest of all for me, this is straight out of the camera, no cropping or anything. Used a low power speedlight camera left, snooted to prevent spill.
Unfortunately, the big, intact rose is right at the junction of thirds lines. Apparently, I can't break that many rules.

Taken for the Active Assignment Weekly! group. This week's assignment: Chaos
We have two candles on our balkony (This is the other one). The whole year long. In winter the wax becomes very rigid, in summer it tends to melt on hot days. I just let this thing be. Nature created a fascinating chaos recently. Will upload a photo of the full scene in the comments.
What it took:
Taking different shots, ending up with concentrating on a detail in a close-up. Converted into bw and gave the whole thing a blue tint and a frame.
The assignment: "circles." I snuck into the science teachers' lounge and arranged these on a table, then snapped. I don't think it turned out very well. I feel like there should be more beakers, or something. Hmm...

KPC special member, Mr. Bukhari, shoots the barren yet beautiful landscape at Hingol National Park, Pakistan's largest. This park contains some of the rarest animals and birds including Chinkara, Sind Ibex, many varieties of snakes, bustard, pelicans, leopoards, and many others. It is also the site of the most revered Hindu temple in the country, a sight of Hinglaj, which is nestled deep into the moutains.

For my birthday I recently received the book Learning To Love You More by Harrell Fletcher and Miranda July. It is a book of artistic assignments that you can turn to if your creative well has run dry and you would rather someone just tell you what to do. That in itself can be a particularly freeing experience.
The catalyst for this image is Assignment 55: Photograph a Significant Outfit. Although the exact instructions call for you to photograph what you were wearing during a significant moment in your life, I tend to think of these clothes as a time capsule which immediately teleports me back to 1978. Plus learning to do The Hustle just doesn't qualify as a significant moment! ;-)
To complete the ensemble you must visualize a few items that I've lost along the way:
1. Puka shell necklace
2. Brown patent leather boots (you know, the ones that zip up the side)
For those of you who weren't born yet (or still in diapers) in 1978, Jimmy Carter was president, the movie Saturday Night Fever was a box office smash, the Bee Gees dominated the pop air waves and everyone was deceived into thinking that John Travolta was an excellent dancer... I guess a some things never change!
Don't ask me why I still keep these clothes tucked away in the back of my closet. Even if I could lose enough weight to fit into them again, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them in public. I guess it's just something I bring out every few years to look at when I need a good laugh. Also, the great thing about polyester is that they look just as good today as they day I bought them!

Active Assignment Weekly
WIT:
You don't have to comment on this photo, because I deleted the last one (that worm thing scared me after a while). But on a deeper level, I post things here sometimes for the wrong reason. This time I'm submitting it because I believe in it and don't care if anyone else wishes to validate it.
Right now I'm very stressed. I just became incorporated as a photography business and I'm applying for project grants to show in galleries. The gallery owners are all about money and product, and so I've been really trapped in this. My mission is to provoke storytelling in my community with the photos I create. Storytelling that provokes thought and opens minds to new ideas.
Then I saw this star flower on the ground. Lately I've been finding a lot of things on the ground, and think these things are sometimes very important. This flower is in a glass by my computer to remind me of what's important. I love all the submissions this week and always look forward to seeing what you all produce, and I'm also so amazed at how confident most of you are.
This is SOOC, except for a crop and a slight alteration in white balance.
This girl was sitting on the pavement outside our office all day. Sometimes she took a photo and sometimes she made notes.
Eventually I gave in and asked what was going on. Apparently she is a student at the media studies centre (or whatever the old printers' college at Elephant & Castle is called now) and was on an assignment.
Everyone in the class was given a different location where they had to go and stay for 5 hours "soaking up the atmosphere" and observing. I could not work out exactly what the end result of all this was to be, except possibly lung disease from 5 hours of soaking up exhaust fumes.
So... if anyone else in Lambeth/Southwark spotted a lonely figure hanging around the same spot all day today, it could well have been another media studies student.
