Monday 31st January – Sunday 6th February 2011
Lectures have started. Results are back.
It was back to being a busy week. Starting a new sailing course, dancing, seeing friends…
Week #6: This picture of Brock was taken, specifically for the 52 weeks for Dogs Group. An editorial photo this week for the group. Every day, usually mid-afternoon the boys and I go on a 2 mile run up and down our country road. I've tried many ways of running with both dogs, but this set up seems to work the best. Brock is attached to one leash with a gentle leader (because he nearly outweighs me and can be a very naughty boy - he thinks he OWNS the road) and then Max is attached to Brock's harness. That was I can spend my energy controlling Brock and Brock in turn controls Max.
Technically : Zoom lens, SB800 flash unit on camera pointed at the dogs. Squatted down at the dog's eye level. Shot as a RAW file.
Assessment: Boring photo, but I've been sick all week (laringitis) and didn't have enough energy to do much more. Today was the first day I've felt almost normal.

The depth of field is shallow for this image.
f/stop: f/2.8. This is as wide as my lens goes, which decreased the DOF.
Focal Distance:I was about 2-3 feet away when taking this picture. Had I been farther away, the DOF would’ve been increased
Focal Length: I shot at 50mm. Any higher, It would’ve decreased the DOF. Any lower, It would’ve increased the DOF.
As a whole, changing the DOF would’ve made either more or less of this image be in focus.
Terri Weifenbach’s work was really cool to look at. I especially liked the close-up picture of the frozen flower where the focus is on the center of the pedals. One thing I would’ve tried to do to add depth would be to add a branch, some leaves, and/or other foliage in the foreground to add even more depth to the image.
Finally by the end of this week it began to feel like October which inspired me early one morning to go to my dock and shoot some photos.
This week I also finished my first book all year, The Great Gatsby. There's a quote from the book that stuck out... "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall". So here's to starting over...again.

Week 9 – Shadows
This week was a fairly quick and easy photo to create. I had an idea of what I wanted; so as usual, I made my poor, long-suffering husband endure severe hardship by languishing outside in the rain. Actually, the one time I wanted rain, it wasn't raining for once, so I made him hose down the patio to make it look like it had been.
I set the camera up on a tripod, turning all the settings to manual (including focus) so that the exposure would be the same for each of the pictures. I focussed on his shoes and took a few pictures, making sure he created a decent shadow on the wet patio.
I then took a spare pair of shoes out to him, and held on to his trainers while he took them off and changed into the others to make sure the original shoes didn't move. Of course we had to do the laces up again too, which is not as easy when they are just sitting on the ground. I took a few further photos with just the shoes standing on the patio.
In the RAW conversion in Photoshop, synchronised the two images so that any editing would remains the same.
Using the picture with David as the Background, I added the one with just the shoes as a layer above. Even though I had kept the camera in one place on a tripod for the two shots, they were still ever so slightly out, so I used Auto Align Layers to get them spot on.
Adding a Layer Mask to the photo with just the shoes, I used the Brush Tool to remove the foreground, revealing the shadow on the ground in front.
Using Curves and the Dodge and Burn Brushes, I created a stronger contrast for the shadow.
In the Nik Colour Efex Pro I adjusted the Tonal Contrasts and added a slight vignette to the whole image. Isolating the shoes with a Quick Mask, I used the Details Extractor to make them more punchy, then selected inverse and lowered the saturation for the patio to make the shoes stand out even more.

Week 22 - Stranger
This week's theme is stranger and there are strangers all around me, everywhere I go. Here's one doing his thing behind a bar. I find that environment and uniform helps tell the story of a stranger whom you know nothing about.

There will be a time when my little girl will care about her hair, there will be a time when my little girl will care about her body in a photo, there will be a time when a photo like this will not be able to be created. I cherish this time.
