Active Weekly Assignment (Mar. 1-8, 2021) - "There is a number in my photo"
For this assignment, I wanted to find some numbers outside rather then arranging something at home. My girlfriend had the idea that the single spaces in parking decks are often numbered, so I made a tour through the different parking decks in my town (turns out only half of them actually have numbers).
There are only two numbers but at least they consist of six digits, I hope that counts :).
Post-processing: Apart from cropping and the obvious conversion to b&w I adjusted the brightness, mostly by playing around with the "filmic rgb" and "tone equalizer" modules of Darktable which I learned about just recently and are trying to master now.
Practice Day #11: This is my final week in PPSOP, and these are pictures that I submitted as my final assignment. Found these alphabet jellies in the market one day. Wasn't sure what to do with it, but I just thought it was interesting. And then I came up with the idea of lining them up in a tall glass (a quite tricky job!), together with ordinary white jelly balls.
I believe this photo is my best picture for this assignment. I think it really captures the idea of being in the moment and enjoying the present. I like bright colors of the yellow shirt and of the blue flannel that I was wearing for this picture because it really pops with the background. To me, it feels like the subject (which is me ironically) is just looking out into their surroundings while being lost in their music.
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
Neodymium magnets are fun, and very attractive :)

Daily Shoot Assignment 436
"Make a photograph today that illustrates attraction. Pick whatever definition of the word you'd like."
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.
I was energetic after charging the batteries. I spent a very happy day with my family. This picture was taking inside the car (my husband was driving :)). I felt the presence of the electrical towers around me (usually, they are unseen). Their energy resounded with my mood, I embraced the moment. And I took this picture.
Take a well-known kids book and recast it as a computer book. Look for inspiration here:

With apologies to Mo Willems ...his Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus book cover has been transformed to a 'computer' book with a little imagination and some posting manipulation. Twitter bird attributed to Shawn Rossi
Pretty sloppy on execution of this one due to time and effort - just did in PP and then downloaded as a jpeg. So the shape to over the original wording didn't match the background and picked up some lines from somewhere?? (though then I saw a potential Post It note and considered tinting it a light yellow for the post - LOL). As well, the font doesn't exactly match, but pretty close. I remember finding the twitter bird created as a CC image for another preso and thought it would be a good addition...just in case it seemed to 'real' - tee hee! :)

So, first assignment on the Strobist L102 Class...
Set up an object and move the light around to see how it "hits" the object.

Experimenting for the assignment with the outdoors and thought I would do something different. I'm really just learning how to manipulate f/stop and shutter speed to take the picture that I want to and this assignment taught me a lot about the different ratios.
Assignment: PCA03 - Isolated Subject
Deadline: October 1st, 2007
Mission:
Show us an isolated subject. Razor sharp focus on the subject, and completely blurred to annihilation backgrounds. This can be accomplished by using a wide aperture and having a distant background. If using a less sophisticated camera, try using the portrait mode or macro mode. If you cannot get the background out of focus, then choose a featureless background.
I took a lot of pictures for this assignment and I think I liked the ones of this fence the least, but it is the only one where one subject is in razor sharp focus. All my others ones suffer from soft or blurry edges on the main subject. I did some post-processing work on this photo: cropping and trying to dodge out the bright white spot in the middle of the photo. It sort of worked. I still think it is too bright in comparison to the rest of the background, but any darker and it started to look strange.
Jael Gadsden is a friend of ours who happens to be an amazingly talented, up-and-coming singer/songwriter. For her latest CD she needed some shots for the front, inside and back covers.

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).
So here's something fun for everyone to do, should be quick and easy, but try to make it pretty.
- First, go here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The title of the article is now the name of your band.
- Next, go here: www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 Go to the bottom of the page. The last four to five words of the last quote are the title of your first album
- Lastly, go here: www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days Select the 3rd image. It is the picture for your album cover. Manipulate the picture, resize it, add some other color, whatever. Do the same with the band name and album title, put them over top. However you wanna do it. Make it look cool.
-----------------------------------
- My wikipedia draw led me to the Oyi page
- The quote (from the last three words - I modified!) is from Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
"People need to be reminded more often than they need to be instructed."
- Unfortunately, the Flickr Interesting photo I originally landed on was not Creative Commons licensed, so I did an advanced search with CC license allowing modification with the search term, 'interestingness' and ended on this photo, Smouldering Heart of the Blues, by Evan Leeson.
Using www.lunapic.com LunaPic, I used color changer to modify some of the blues to purple and added the text, Oyi, using NightSky font and the text, to be instructed, using the AirConditioner font.
Fun, easy, and 'instructional' (for new editing features)! Using creative tools with limited elements was a great start - gets one beyond the 'how to I start' anxiety that many experience when asked to be 'creative'. :)
Assignment #2 is all about contrast and complementary colors. This painting is a split complementary scheme. I chose the complements of orange and blue, and then used the blue green and blue purple analogous colors. I was so sick of using a fixed color palette at this point that I just threw this together. It's way to coloring book-ish for me, but I love the subject matter, so I guess it has some merit.

Alta Gracia, Dominican Republic
Workers at the Alta Gracia factory, set up as a "fair wage" factory recently by Knights Apparel, which is one of the largest suppliers of t-shirts and sweatshirts to colleges in the US. This factory is paying workers a living wage, about 3.5 times more than they are paid in other factories clothing factories in the DR.
The clothes are sold at a slightly higher price with tags explaining to customers that Alta Gracia (also the name of the clothing line) pays the workers more.

This was taken for a Rule of Thirds assignment. Link
I was putting the dog's nose on the upper left intersection. After looking at the image, I see the nose and tongue line up on the left vertical line.
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.

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.
Lots of options with this one. It is tall enough that we can crop to a single page, and there is enough room on the right to fill with copy.
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.
Active Assignment Weekly: April 4 - April 11: Fancy Pants
Your assignment this week is to take a picture of pants. Jeans, slacks, cargo's, corduroy, camo, or underpants...I don't care, just take a picture of pants. As long as the pants are the focus, your picture will work.
WIT: No fancy pants around here but there are several well worn pairs of jeans. The lighting is from a nearby window, followed by some adjustments in post to accentuate the shadows. Some slight cropping.
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?
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.

Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- Ernest Hemingway Birthplace, 339 N. Oak Park Ave., Oak Park, IL
Oak Parkers are very proud of their native son, Ernest Hemingway. They're even proud of his famously derisive description of the village as "a neighborhood of wide lawns and narrow minds." I suppose that's because they think they've changed.
The Hemingway Foundation provides tours of the birthplace house, lovingly restored to Victorian splendor, with amazing attention to the accuracy of details gleaned from such hints as scraps of wallpaper and descriptions by Hemingway's sister Marcelline. The Foundation also maintains a museum a block away, with photos and artifacts. I do have to wonder what Hemingway might have to say about the fervency of his local admirers. He certainly said many irreverent, puncturing things, though he also said things that feed right into the Mythologizing of the Great Macho Writer (who did not care for his first name, by the way, because of the Oscar Wilde title).
Here are a few Hemingway quotes that resonate with me, while wandering the leafy, wide-lawned streets, on my brief ad hoc literary appreciation & walking tour:
--All stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is not a true-story teller who would keep that from you.
-- There isn't any symbolism. The sea is the sea. the old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark is all sharks, no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know.
-- The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
Those of you who either know me well, or have known me for a long time, know that I went to Arizona State University many, many years ago. Well, to quote George Costanza, I'm back baby. I recently signed up for their online BFA in digital photography, and just turned in part of my first week's assignment (a photo shoot of stuff involving water). I'll probably finish this just in time for retirement but, as one of the kids pointed out, it's at least one degree we don't yet have in our family.
