It's a custom to dip your hands in icy water and then practice the Shamisen outside in the cold.
For their seventh lesson, the girls took a stab at the music scene by releasing their debut albums. But that's not all that went off, as a confrontation between Dotti, Kaitlyn, Nikki and Maddie turned violet.
Devin, Maddie and Pinkie we're chart toppers, being in the top three. While Nikki and Sy'Rai fell into the bottom two. Being true to her word, Sabrina eliminated Sy'Rai, but only after declaring Devin the winner of the challenge.

Six girls remain. Who will be expelled next?
Lessons I learned from the brief time I spent with Buster.

This project is semi-annoying as it means that I have to actually go and seek out people to take pictures of. Which means passenger areas, and annoying uniform changes.
Luckily, I had other options. This is taken from the funnel/ roof of deck 16, looking down on the sports deck.
Giant chess sets have a special place in my heart, after many hours spent playing in Gran Canaria. This wasn't a proper game I don't think, but it looked a little like a father-son lesson in tactics.
Today, I traced the air start system. It was actually surprisingly fun. Probably because it didn't involve crawling. We were in Ketchikan today but I was so tired that I didn't even bother attempting to go ashore.
I've been in India for 2 weeks so far, hence the lack of new photos. Here is one I took the other day in a park in Mumbai. The boy was a street kid till the charity i'm working with picked him up and found him a home and a family!
The second lesson was to adjust the levels on an image (I didn't know how to do this!!) and to add text, changing the opacity and type of layer. Kim Klassen also asked us to work on a light image and a dark image. Here's my lighter one, complete with a rainbow from the other night! (And also with textures from Distressed Jewell/Cheryl Tarrant and Kim Klassen.)
slow shutter......
well, i tried, but i screwed :)
i wish i could blame it on the super-slow traffic of oxford, but .....
naaah, that wudnt be fair i guess :D
After having a couple of sunrise & sunset shoots at the beach with skies that didn't cooperate, and with weather reports for the morning of this shoot leading me to expect completely overcast skies, I was very worried that I wasn't going to see any color. I've done this long enough to know though that you can never completely trust the weather reports and that great skies can sometimes appear suddenly and unexpectedly. Although the sky was totally overcast on the horizon and we couldn't see the sun come up, a few minutes after sunrise some of the clouds opened up even more than they had been and we were blessed with some moments like this.
strobist info: SB-900 camera right, shoot-through umbrella; SB-600 camera right, pointed at legs; triggered with PocketWizards (miniTT1 w/AC3 & Flex TT5s).
I also had an SB-700 on a lightstand, camera left, to provide a little rim light/hair light but the wind blew it over onto the rocks and broke off the battery cover and spilled the batteries out. Rather than trying to see if I could quickly repair it I just opted not to use it anymore for this shoot. I think I break more dollars worth of equipment each time I shoot than I make off the jobs. I think the SB-700 will be fine, but the battery cover is no longer attached by the hinge. In previous shoots I've managed to mess up a few umbrellas and my brand new Westcott Apollo softbox (you'd think I'd learn my lesson about falling lightstands by now). The bottom attachment mechanism on one of my PocketWizard TT5s was also damaged in one of those falls. I've also had the built-in flash on my D300 knocked off its hinges awhile ago. I was shooting soccer portraits (using the built in flash to trigger my speedlights back then), and I told the boys to kick the ball straight towards me. I had two of them next to me with instructions to stop the ball from hitting me if it actually came at my head but they failed to do so. I'm lucky both my cameras and all my speedlights and PocketWizards still work with all the abuse I've put them through (falling over, being spashed with salt water, blasted with sand, etc.).
Post-processing done with Capture NX2 (w/Color Efex Pro 3), and Photoshop CS5.

Tree Climbing Lesson. Yosemite National Park, California. June 7, 2009. © Copyright 2011 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Two black bear cub and their mother climb trees in Yosemite National Park, California.
I was very fortunate to be able to watch this bear family a couple of years ago - and to have a long enough lens to do so without intruding on them. The mother bear seemed to be alternately letting the "kids" play around and do whatever they felt like, and then offering them "climbing lessons" on some of the trees. The cub with black fur seemed the most comfortable at this, quickly scrambling straight up the trunks to surprising heights, moving with agility that reminded me of monkeys. The brown-fur sibling seemed a bit more cautious and "mama" seemed to have to offer a bit of encouragement and support, much as a human parent might do. Her actions at this point reminded me of my own experience with my kids the first time they climbed something (that seemed to them to be) dangerous - I followed close behind with my "front paws" around them, ready to catch if necessary.
While the brown cub initially hesitated quite a bit, before long it also took off and quickly ascended way up in the tree, and before long the whole family was 20 or more feet off the ground.

Now I think I'm getting it -- that is with paper selection. I found my oldest most tanned papers and books and tried printing over more old paper. I learned a lot from lesson 2 - thanks, Mary! I like this page much better than the first.
When in wildlife territory always have your tele lens on the camera, landscapes give you time to change lenses, bears don't. This is OK, but if I was ready I could get a dream shot of this bear.
I took this a couple weeks ago but thought I would share while I am looking for more victims to shoot!!
This was a shoot from my first air show put on by the Navy Blue Angels. A fantastic show. These planes (for the show) are flying at speeds ranging from 150-450 mph, so high shutter speed is important to get sharp images and is not really difficult to achieve on sunny days like this one. The Blue Angels have a predetermined spot at which they perform some of their maneuvers like this one in which they pass by one another at a very close distance (remarkable) so here, shutter speed, aperture, steady camera and knowing that sweet spot where they pass is important to get sharp images. Here, I didn't know where that center point was so I panned with the number six plane and shot at 5 frames a second hoping to get the image I got, but because of my panning the number five plane became blurred (traveling the opposite direction of the pan). The show was wonderful and I learned a lot.
This image was shot with a 70-200VR lens at 5.6 and a shutter speed of 1/2500 sec.
I was a lifeguard as a teenager, and was actually teaching swim lessons at a summer camp when a beautiful young counselor (and my future wife-to-be) walked in with a group of kids. So when it came time for me to teach my own young daughter how to swim, it was a rite of passage filled with meaning, love, happiness, and beauty. We've been going in the water with her since she was only three months old, and by now (age 2) she looks forward to her weekly swim lesson more than almost anything else.
In another new project, I'm planning to document her progress learning to swim over the course of the next few years. We'll see where it leads...
I swear, we have world class talent here in Western Maine. Last night a small church in Jay, St. Rose of Lima, hosted an Advent Lessons and Carols night with readings from Isaiah and Luke, interspersed with a sall schola singing chant and polyphony. It was sublime
+Start to draw at the inside of previous leaf
- Following leaves should be painted from the inside of previous one
- So that you keep the leaves shape tight
+First drawing remains
- Object drawn first stays the front.
- The water makes line in between, which is beautiful
- So, the previous leaves must darker than latter one.
