the puffer fish has lovely green eyes .... October 24, 2006.
Spending some time with Nature would serve humankind well. Learning to live at peace with Nature might actually calm humankind down a bit, though that doesn't seem at all possible.
Who can save humankind from itself? Not even God can save humankind now.
The boundary between survival and extinction was passed a long time ago. Humankind blew right past that boundary and the species continues to accelerate along its self destructive path.
There's not stopping humankind ... but humankind will stop.
I love playing with fire - but it´s tricky and not at all easy capturing those vivid flames...
Shot about 200 photos in the blacksmiths shop and now I am having a hard time finding flames that I feel are right for this assignment...
cwd473: Fire - We did smoke a while back...let's try fire! Please don't burn anything down!
Shot for A Class with Dave : Tells a story (Rejected)
I was going to make a montage of this series, then decided that was probably cheating.
I have been out camping but still want to play along:-) Hope this bbq smoke in the evening sun will fulfill the assignment description - cwd281: Smoke - The beautiful swirls and twirls of smoke aren't always that easy to catch on camera. Take something spectacular.
a maybe for cwd653: Zig-Zag

Assignment 3. Spooky. I had to take advantage of Halloween and get something seasonal into our assignments! This is the time of year when the other side is closest and walks the streets with regular folks, express this eerie or spooky feeling!
cwd164: Night Shot Redux. These are great fun and actually a little counterintuitive. go out in the dark of night and take a picture with a looong exposure. The secret formula for digital night photography is ISO 100, F.8, 8 Seconds. naturally you need to have the camera on a steady surface or tripod.
I can't believe that no one was walking around downtown on sunday. we came through, and saw not a single person! how infuriating, I mean, sure I live in a small town, but I didn't realize it was that small!
but then, I spotted this lady walking away from my house, so I jumped out with Hector and grabbed some shots, and then realized another neighbor was looking at me funny so pretended to shoot trees, and other weird stuff.
Class with Daves: 16 Weeks Behind Spheres - This one is going to be difficult. It probably won't be too hard to find something spherical to photograph, but your job is to somehow make it interesting. No points for cleverness...the thing you photograph should actually LOOK like a sphere in the photo (i.e. don't shoot the ground and say the Earth is a sphere; don't shoot the sun or the moon which look like circles). Also, no eyeballs.
I took about 30 pictures trying to get a rain drop splash in a puddle on the side of our house. Finally, I captured it! Guess all this rain is good for something.
camera position was not altered at all for this triptych.
Assignment 1. Zoom. Help me develop a series of three images that illustrate how a scene changes as your lens get longer. We see this in photo instruction books, but I have yet to see it executed very well. For this assignment you will stand in one spot, shoot three images changing the direction of the camera as little as possible. How much you change the focal length is up to you, but my goal is to use the best series of three in my actual classes to illustrate what zoom does as a lens gets longer. With your permission of course. I recommend 30-300mm. Evil Mighty Acorn created a great series of images illustrating how depth changes as focal length changes, check it out here . She moved to keep the scene the same, you will stand still and change the scene dramatically. Tag all three with cwd641.
This ear belongs to a man at church. In 2009, his ear was itching often so at a doctor visit he mentioned it and the doctor suggested a biopsy be taken and it was revealed that he had skin cancer on his ear. There is a small spot that still is tender but all the cancer has been removed.
cwd sphere assignment.
I was looking forward to this when I went to the zoo for the assignment but the water was turned off. usually it can be spun on a little font of water.
also, my batteries died after I took this picture.
& they only had obscure 35mm batteries in the giftshop.
Check out the tag 060407 to see all of my pictures from this "a day in my life".
for cwd411: B&W Abstract - Just like Abstract, but in black & white. Think light & shadows...and abstract!
cwd1141 - Very High Contrast B&W ~ Create a B&W image in which the only "colors" in the image are black and white. See some awesome examples HERE.
cwd141 - Abstract. From wikipedia: Abstract art is now generally understood to mean art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses color and form in a non-representational way. You are free to create your abstraction entirely in-camera, in post-processing, or as a combination of the two.
