This is an assignment for Class with Daves: 16 Weeks Behind:
Fantasy - You know, faeries and dragons and dungeons and stuff.
This was a little break in the clouds before the rain settles in tonight. I like the sun rays streaming through the clouds; I couldn't wait to get home tonight to take some shots! Done for Take A Class With Dave for the "sky" category.
experimenting for cwd181: Technology - It's a huge part of our lives...it's everywhere. But can you make an interesting image based on it? Snapshots of iPods laying on the kitchen table probably don't cut it.
cwd2502 ~ The End Open to interpretation
One of my favourite groups - Take a Class With Dave & Dave - is ending, expiring from lack of activity after a good few years of excellence. The group has encouraged me to be creative and has been an exceptionally welcoming and encouraging place to take part in photo assignments. I've learned a lot from the people there and it's immensely sad that the group is shutting its doors.
Head into the light Dave and Dave. I've loved having you around. Thank you for having me, even if I have been an intermittent visitor over the last couple of years.
for 'Take a class with Dave & Dave': Week 47 - Assignment 2. Self portrait.
I've just been hired as marketing coordinator for a high-tech bioscience firm in Vermont....and I also got a new light pen. Deadly combination.
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.
just finished up my clone shots and ready to edit (my dog playing poker with himself--maybe genius maybe not) when the coffeetable randomly decided to shatter. two hours later of cleaning up glass shards and i'm late for work now uploading this in the last seconds.
oh, the things i do for cwd. i couldn't sleep at all last night, but found myself waking up ungodly early on my day off to get a shot as winter turned into spring, that meant 6:44am my time. ugh, but now i do know that both cameras are set to the correct time, yay!
plus, we had the ultrasound today and we saw the baby for the first time. five fingers and toes on each hand and foot respectively. the doctor says it looks like it'll be a normal baby, or chicken (totally his words not mine - but i would totally say something like that! lol)
experimenting for cwd222: Dark - Last week we had LOVE. This week, we'll try to balance that out. Show us your best dark photography. Get a little morbid, perhaps. Get a little goth. Lets all get depressed together, shall we?
Assignment 3. Blind shooting/Robert Frank. Robert Frank is a very important 20th century photographer. Google his work and you will see that he took amazing street photos. We all know that putting a camera up to your face makes people wary or uneasy. What R.F. would do is wear his camera around his neck, shutter release in his pocket, set the camera to f8 and focus 15 feet ahead. Then shoot when he saw something interesting. Try that if you can, but this week show us an image inspired by Robert Frank shot without looking through the viewfinder. tag with cwd 563.

This seriously looks like I'm about to have my camera shoved somewhere unpleasant. I'm pleased to say that this didn't happen, especially considering the fact that I had my wide-angle lens attached!
F/8 and with manual focus at some indeterminate point ahead. This is out of focus and include a large, metal bin but turns out to be the most interesting shot I took while trying this assignment out.
cwd 711: Bokeh - Bokeh (from the Japanese boke ボケ, "blur") is a photographic term referring to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens. Different lens bokeh produces different aesthetic qualities in out-of-focus backgrounds, which are often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject.
this assignment #3 really made me think... but when I realized that 12x12 is the old album size I knew exactly what I wanted to do...just hope I am understanding the assignment correctly...
Square Foot. The entire content of your photo must be 12x12 inches (~30x30cm). What? I'm talking about the entire frame. So, first...your photo must be cropped square (non-square images will be removed from the pool). Second, if you enlarged the photo to 12x12, it would be a life-sized photo. Am I making any sense yet? Perhaps an example. Let's say your subject was an 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper (boring...don't you dare do it) - that's less than 12x12, so there would be some space around the piece of paper. Now let's say your subject was a person. People are bigger than 12x12, so you might have a head and a shoulder. Or maybe a couple feet and ankles. Get it? Bottom line: if you blew it up to 12x12, it would be life-sized. Obviously, I don't expect perfect precision on the whole 12x12 thing...but if it's obviously 20x20 or 5x5, I'll boot it from the pool. Get as close as you can to 12x12. The goal of this assignment is to alter the way you look at things. Footnote: Please, no photos of rulers.
thinking of assignment 2. Cocktails! Is this a product shot? Is it a lifestyle picture? Is it a shameful pun? I’m not sure but I know we’re going to see some great creativity. Tag with cwd402.
