As we announced yesterday, our new assignment reflects the work of Vivian Maier. Please post your (new!) photos between Feb 1 - 22 and use the hashtag #vivianmaierassignment.
JUNKYARD TREASURES: Maier was fascinated by what others might consider junk. So its ironic that her work was only discovered when John Maloof bought a box of photos at a flea market auction. Go find that hidden treasure that is usually overlooked - be it at the bottom of a bin, a local flea market or an estate sale.
I’M SORT OF A SPY (x2): Meander through the streets of your hometown and look - really LOOK. What catches your eye? An interesting outfit or posture? A group of people waiting for a bus? A couple holding hands at the street light? The legs of mother and child in a shop? We’re sure you’ll come up with an excellent shot. No wait - make that two! It’s the VM classic, after all.
IN THE NEWS: Vivian Maier was fascinated by the news - especially when they highlighted the folly of humanity. She also horded newspapers. For this assignment, set up a photo that has a newspaper or headline of sorts in it.
MANGLED MANNEQUIN: Next time you go window-shopping ignore the clothes and look at the mannequins. Lop-sided? Disassembled? Naked? You’ve got your shot.
MIRROR MIRROR: The classic VM selfie. Come on, we couldn’t do a Vivian Maier assignment and not have this one in there. Find something shiny and let us see a reflection of you and your camera. Shadow and smile optional.
BONUS ASSIGNMENT: A picture that no one will see: Take it, have it developed, don’t show it to anyone. Stash it away in a box. Post a photo of the box.
Please be kind and respectful when doing street photography. Vivian Maier was not just an exceptional photographer - she has also been described as “imposing and rude”. Don’t be inspired by that.
Remember: Only post new (mobile) photos, and only tag one per assignment. You can tag your outtakes with #vivianmaierassignment_outtake, though.
By the way - We’re not checking if you finish all 6 assignments, so don’t be discouraged if you can’t finish. The main thing is to start playing and have fun!
Shot for: fotoplayers.blogspot.com/
I asked some people to shoot something for my first assignment but no one had any time so I decided to do it on my own. In my opinion "doing something" doesn't always have to involve a lot of action. Because of this I chose to shoot one of the activities I really used to do pretty often. This is waht a perfect evening would have looked like until recently. Hopefully I will be able to get back into reading again soon.
This shot includes a book cover which might insult some people. For those people I have to say that this is not a book that is glorifying Nazis but it is about how the world would look like if the Nazis would have won WWII (The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick). I really love to read about strongly polarising and controversial topics which you have to think about and I also enjoy a good glass of wine from time to time.

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.

Active Assignment Weekly - Motion Blur.
Well I choose this assignment because I needed practice and wow... Throughout the week i tried to improve on my technique and abilities but a week was not long enough, lol...
This is my 13 year old, rescued Xolo. After being in a cage her whole life, this girl loves to RUN!
I truly appreciate suggestions and critiques.as i really struggled with my settings on this assignment.
WIT: Slowing down my shutter and playing around with ISO and Aperture due to a dark cloudy day. In PP - i boosted the lighting and the shadows.
Strobist info. - SB800 at top of stairs 1/4 power camera right fired through railings and SB800 at bottom of stairs camera left with DIY gridspot I think at 1/32 power
Active Assignment Weekly: Fancy Pants
So, 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.
Restriction: Keep away from whole body shots, and really make the pants the focus.
Dare: Take a picture of someone else's pants? I can't really think of anything else
WIT
I have so many jeans, and I had this idea in my head of lining them all up. My best friend has a huge yard. with some small hills. I got on a step ladder and shot.
Post process in camera raw, clarity and tone enhancements.
This assignment was fun and allowed for more creativity. My original plan was to try and make the bottle blend into the ski lift tower. However, the lighting at the top of the mountain didn't allow for me to set this angle up (too much lens flare). Instead I looked for good lighting and set up my bottle and flash.
This photo was shot during sunset on top of Bolton Valley in Vermont. I used a long lens 70-200 to help blur the background to a nice blend of colors. I then placed my flash on the ground (right hand side of the bottle) and laid flat on the ground to take this photo.
Here are the specs for my photo:
1/350s @2.8
ISO 200
Focal Length 108mm
No tripod
1 Off camera Flash (Canon 550EX)
PCNW Light Control assignment 1.
The essence of light. Produce one image that speaks to the essence of light as you see it.

Active Assignment Weekly: Sept 13- Sept 20: Bokeh
Texas Tongs says:
Okay, this week, get ready to crank up your aperture and compose a nice Bokeh photograph.
In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light.
Restriction: No blurring using post processing techniques, bokeh should come right out of the lens.
WIT: These are the seed heads of some decorative grasses that we have growing in the back yard. I found that when trying photograph these that there is a distinct correlation between focusing and the breeze blowing. For post processing I cropped, sharpened, and did a little buring along the length of the grasses.

Active Assignment Weekly - June 13 - 20: Tickle the Funnybone
Assignment:
Take a picture that is humorous - let's have a laugh this week.
Restriction: No humans or parts of humans are allowed in the picture.
Dare: Create an image that doesn't require a caption to be funny.
WIT:
I think the title says it all here, but one never knows. I hope there are many reasons to laugh at this, and if not, oink oink.
I shot this outside a favorite joint of mine this morning, hoping I'd find the perfect spot for this pair. I've used them once for a photo, but the results weren't that great.
In PP: I just adjusted the curves, then bent the green and red curves a bit for a lomo look.

Active Assignment Weekly: Enjoy the Silence
WIT
I was sitting in my living room alone thinking about this assignment and saw this sliver of light coming through the bedroom door ans was inspired to take this photo. It is really cool to join your group it has provided quite a learning experience for me already,
In this photo I lightened the shadows and increased the grain of the photo.
Strobist info: Inside lights are CFL overhead camera right, tungsten backlight, and a halogen behind aimed at the model, flash is bare Yongnuo YN560-II outside through blinds camera left fired with Yongnuo RF-603 transceivers. I wasn't worried about white balance since it would be converted to B&W.
