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.
My photography assignment was to select a photograph by a photographer whose work I admire and try to copy it. I chose Mario Testino - an amazing photographer to say the least.
Model: Shannon Edmonds
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.

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.

#17 in the Sam Durell "Assignment" series
We are currently learning about press photography in my "photo" class at school. The assigment was to show off the "new" school and the students doing media and communication classes.
This is my result.
The school is Thor Heyerdahl and is in Larvik, Norway. If im not mistaken it was the most expensive school in Scandinavia to build...
If anyone have some criticism of this, please leave it in a comment :)

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.
I have submited these shots for my NYIP Unit 3, Assignment 4: 45° lighting.
The assignment was simple enough, create a tabletop still life and light from 45° to either side. For the second image, bring in a reflector. These were to be done with either natural window light or tungsten.
I think these meet the benchmark.
What do you think?
The set-up: In the first and second shot I used my trusty Norman Tri-light (modeling lamp only) as a "hot light" and set it up on at the camera left position. I then adjusted the light to give a spot-light appearance. I wanted to emphasise the texture of the cakes, while showing the moist, melted chocolate chips they embed into the divine cake. For the second shot I added a bounce reflector to camera right, just out of frame. I also (cheating?) introduced a mirrored bounce behind the subjects to "kick" some of that light onto the backside of the front cake and somewhat sidelight the back cakes.
I was thinking I might submit them in this diptych layout, since I'll never use the one without bounce...
well, never say never, would make a good illustration on the importance of bounce!
The small cakes that carry the name, along with the ever posh US bakery and restaurant built by Chef Thomas Keller, not the typical Bouchonstyle of French eatery.
These tiny cakes are luscious, and the reason my every visit to Napa and/or Harbin HS generally includes a side trip to Yountville, CA.
I don’t know how these simple ingredients can be assembled to create these decadent delights, but somehow they manage… and I am blessed every time I have the chance to experience the bliss induced when I taste one of these sweet morsels.

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.
This week's assignment, "A view from here"
I am cherishing this view more and more with our impending move back north.

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.
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...
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.
