I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 to edit my photos for this assignment. I do have some simple editing techniques with editing, but this assignment I went with what I could do best for the photo and just did simple editing to enhance the photos life with color. I just came back from Kauai about 3 days ago, and this was a beautiful water fall that I took a picture of. I felt the photo was too bright, didn't show enough of the blue sky and green that flourished in the plants. I messed and adjusted with the exposure, brightness, temperature, highlights, sharpness, and shadows. I feel bringing the highlights up more made the blue sky pop. The saturation made the color brighter with the sky and greenery. The sharpness helped show the formation of the trees better. The meaning of the photo is to sit back and relax and take in the green atmosphere.

She looked soft, helpless and desirable, but SAM DURELL knew she was more deadly than an assassin's bullet.
For my next Photoshop project, we have to create a narrative/theme in a series of 4-6 images. I wanted to use this assignment as an excuse to expand my levitation series. Typically, I make the person floating very apparent through a wide depth of field. With this project, I wanted to go in the polar opposite direction and make the floating person appear part of daily life -- make it ordinary. I wanted to cram the images with people/things in order for you to be overwhelmed by what you were processing and just haphazardly find someone whose feet weren't touching the ground. True, some images are more successful than others, but I feel like this project has made me exercise other options for my levitating theme.
This photo has been added for the DPS assignment: Machinery.
This is some kind of hydraulic machine in the marseille harbour, France.

Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- The Write Inn & Hemmingway's Bistro, Oak Park, IL
Hemingway wrote: "Never go on trips with anyone you do not love," which seems like good advice, if traveling to Oak Park, or anywhere else.
I don't know what he thought about puns, or intentional misspellings, or if he would have wanted to try a flirtini martini. But I know what he wrote about oysters and about wine, so I'm sure he'd at least appreciate Hemmingway's wine list and oyster bar:
-- As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture...I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.
--Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.
And I think he must have had an appreciation of comfortable hotels also, as shown in this lovely passage:
--That night at the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling that we had come home, feeling no longer alone,waking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away, all other things were unreal.
Attempt at differential focus shot to join my other afternoon tea theme photo. No sunshine again so strugggling to match the lighting of the other scone shot but running out of time :L

Photo shoot we had for our advertising assignment.
The advertisement is to promote Marc Jacob's perfume, Lola.
The ropes were cutting my wrists like so many knives, but all I could think about was that damn bat, coming down on me relentlessly like the rain that had been pounding the city for what seemed like years. I had to find a way out...
Strobist info: 530EXII on-camera, pointed at ceiling at 1/4ish to illuminate the doorframe a bit, 430EX at 1/8ish on a boom with a lamp cord inside the room.
First "On Assignment" I've done. This is totally my normal Sunday night routine.
I'm currently taking weekly classes to get familiar with the ins and outs of the new machine embroidery software that I recently purchased. There are quite a few modules included in the software that let me do a *ton* of different things, but the module that we're concentrating on the most is the digitizing module. Being able to manually digitize artwork opens creative avenues I never thought I'd have a chance to explore, so I'm *beyond* excited. :-)
Lesson 2 utilized most of the things we learned in Lesson 1 www.flickr.com/photos/aqueenofalltrades/27300718235/in/al... and added:
1) Color blending. (The sky is a blend of red and yellow with a gradient effect that's heavier on the top.)
2) Changing the stitch angle to achieve various visual effects.
3) Using the "Digitize Blacks" tool.
4) Using feather stitching.
5) Removing stich overlaps. (In this case we removed the color blend stitching from behind the palm fronds.)
6) Using carved stamps. (We learned it, but I didn't use them in my example.)
7) Using motif borders.
Odd sort of exercise, but effective. Will try this on my class tomorrow night. (and might try to improve my handwriting too - it seems to be suffering from lack of practice) ... - read more on {site_name}}: botheredbybees.posterous.com/assignment

Active Assignment Weekly: Capture the season
The Assignment: Capture a shot that represents the season you are NOW experiencing. What best represents the weather for the week of November 7-14? No setup shots or still-lifes. For example, don't show a doll in a bathing suit and say it's summer. These shots should be environmental. It's okay to have people in your photo.
WIT: At this point, we are finishing our raking and waiting for the snow to fly. Increased contrast and saturation.

In addition to the floor lamp on the right i handheld a gridded SB-28 in my left hand, aimed at Ida's face.
Active Assignment Weekly:
en•joy•ment
–noun
1. the act of enjoying.
2. the possession, use, or occupancy of anything with satisfaction or pleasure
3. a particular form or source of pleasure
I thought it might be nice to have a reasonably broad assignment this week so let’s all attempt to create a photograph that represents enjoyment. It could be absolutely anything that represents something you personally enjoy (permitted by the terms of the group of course!).
Restriction
The photo should convey something that you personally enjoy. So posting a photo of someone else enjoying an ice cream would be no good if you don’t also enjoy eating ice cream. Posting a photo of a pet or child playing would be fine as we can assume you enjoy playing with them. It might be nice to learn a little something that we may not already know about you from your photograph. :)
Dare
To make some kind of change to the shot during post processing that other members of the group may not be able to easily identify. Please indicate if you have taken on the dare when posting your photo so other members will know if they should try to guess what you have changed.
Examples
Please feel free to add any images which you think might help other members with inspiration.
WIT: There's something completely relaxing and satisfying in developing and printing silver geletin prints for me. That said, I really haven't done much lately. This took about an hour of cleaning out the darkroom and setting up trays and moving the light closer. I set up the tripod and took a few exposures on manual to find the right combination, then placed the photo in the tray and shot it with this combination (F/2.8, 0.5 sec exposure, ISO 800). CS4 curves for contrast which actually took out the timer in the foreground, cloned out a distracting reflection, slight rotation, sharpen, resize.
I did do one other step in post processing that I've been finding I like, though it isn't very obvious in this shot.
Ashley's assignment on ritual. Peyton and I switched speech patterns. (In the documentation, both Eric and Ashley interrupted us, so please ignore the middle bit).
Assignment 52 -- On the Street Where You Live
This man's decorative style has kept me entertained for years:

Active Assignment Weekly: 26 Feb - 5 Mar 2018: Old Photographs
Assignment: Create an "old" photograph. Subject matter is up to you--portraits, architecture, landscape--whatever you like, as long as the finished product looks like a photo that was taken many years ago. How many years ago is up to you, but let's say anything from the 1970's back to the dawn of photography.
Dare:
Be creative with how you go about aging your photo. If you don't have access to an editing program, or even if you're just feeling adventurous, try some non-computer-based "post processing."
Restriction :
No plain B&W - your photo must somehow include colour ( think sepia, yellowed with age, stains, "re-coloured" etc.) Watch out for things that don't belong; for example, a 1920's portrait where the subject is wearing a digital watch.
WIT: The gardens where I work, used Colour Efex Pro to apply an old camera style which yellowed the photo, and added a border. Looks old to me as it reminds me of the poorer composition skills I had in the 1970's!
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.
Dare: Make it abstract or hard to tell what part of the body you have chosen (please refrain from the cliche arm or leg crack made to look like a butt)
Restriction: No full face or full body shots, and as stated before no naughty areas.
WIT: Halogen reading light lying on the bed.. F/2.8, 1/20 sec. ISO 1600. CS4 curves for high contrast, vibrance reduction, dark blue filter to take out some of the bright orange-ness, noise reduction, gaussian blur, resize. View on black..
