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.

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.
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!

Assignment 52 -- Painting with light
Here are Hemingway characters, in a cafe, preparing their drinks: "...the young man poured the water in a very thin stream and the girl watched the absinthe cloud opalescently. It felt warm as her fingers held the glass and then as it lost the yellow cast and began to look milky it cooled sharply and the young man let the water fall in a drop at a time."
(This was taken with two small stationary flashlights pointed at the glass, one on each side, & another flashlight briefly moving along the absinthe spoon handle, then briefly on the stream of water, during the 10 second exposure.)

Assignment 52 -- On the Street Where You Live
This man's decorative style has kept me entertained for years:

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.

Strobist: One AB 800 right of the camer bounced from the wall and another one left of the camera through an umbrella. A Canon Speedlite 540ez left of the cupboard bounced from the ceiling. Triggered with Cyber Sync gear.
PPSOP - Art of Food Photography, Assignment Three, Part B: Shoot two or three subjects with a single, small light source and reflector. Really try to show off the texture of your subject. Part C:Shoot the same subjects from part B, adding a second, overhead light source along with your reflector. Final Submission.
F/8, 1/250s. 105mm Nikkor Micro Lens on studio stand.
As the Assignment called for two shots, I tried both – with the addition of ND Gel to the Grid (small light source) and decided the sandwich shot with the soft box fill was the strongest of the two. The softlight coming from above filled in the shadows to lower the contrast. The ND Gel was noticeably softer, I am glad I tried this experiment.
The issue I have with the ND was that it reduced the intensity of the light leaving me with a maximum f-stop of f/8. Due to the width of sandwich, I think I would have preferred to use a higher wattage light to enable me to stop down with the ND and obtain greater DoF.
My time was crunched, so I only had one (rushed) go at this… Further studies are in my future, to be sure.
I can surmise that higher wattage will lead to quicker degradation of the sandwich fillings, so I’d best have a few on hand!
Setup for the shot: Lowe’s tileboard tabletop with subject placed on white paper. Old-fashioned soda bottle and chips brought in as props. 30° grid set on light, placed at 210° from subject, up high just skimming top of bread and bouncing off reflector board about 45-60° camera right. Medium soft box placed on boom over top of subject.

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!

Assignment: Turning
I put my camera on my turntable and put rainbow colors on my phone's screen and this happened
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.
