The faces ofPNCA students, staff, and faculty during Spring Focus Week, 4/29/14-5/2/14. Photos by Micah Fischer '13.
This week's theme was "close up/macro".
I honestly almost forgot about this week's photo, so I'm very glad that I snapped this photo at the beginning of the week when I was out taking photos for Brian and Magan. (Flickr says this was taken on the 24th, but I'm sure it was taken on the 25th!)
I'm not sure exactly what this spiked thing is, but I thought that it looked really interesting.
I used my 50mm lens.
To edit this image i drew in a car, I also changed the levels and saturation as well as using the healing brush to remove things in the background, I also slightly blurred the image.
Strobist info: Canon 580exII at 1/2 power 50mm zoom with a DIY grid above camera left, triggered with Radio Popper JRX. Lumopro 160 at 1/4 power 24mm zoom with a Rogue Flash Bender camera right, triggered optically.
Note: This is the best set I've used so far. However, it's costing us a pretty penny since it's real. :(
An amazing thing happens when you have a child: everything matters and nothing else matters. Life becomes about tiny moments: details, breaths, choices, glances, expressions. Maybe life is always about these things, but it takes the very big presence of a very small person to really bring it into focus.
The photos help me stop time, which seems to gain speed as it rolls, minutes amassing into hours, hours piling into days, days stacking into weeks, and weeks slotting into months, all rushing into a year.
This week, we learned that playtime may be the most important time of all. And who wouldn't want to play with Matteo. He's radical.
OK, so I am pretty much cheating this week. I had a crazy week and didn't pick up my camera once! But I more than made up for it the following week (went on a mini-trip), so I am letting it slide. Blogged here.
Abandoned was a very popular week in the original challenge. For the advanced challenge tell the story of something forgotten.
52 week challenge....week 8 ~ still.......taken with my canon 7d 50mm 1.8 lens. shot at f22, 1/60, iso 1000. Took this in the basement in my cardboard box studio with a flashlight hanging overhead to light this. not an easy task at all. took me about 12 shots to get he lighting right then all was good from there. Tried to shoot this with a lens baby 80 optic but the focus was awful on it...need more light for that lens and I got fed up changing the aperture discs...lol. Pam your not going to like these lenses....lmao!! I also put a blk and white filter over this in aperture, like the effect of this better than the original. All the pics around the camera are blk and white shot in the 50's and 60's of my Mum and Grandmother!
It was everything I feared it would be...and worse...but it also had moments of pure happiness, I hugged people I love, I got to say goodbye, I gifted some handknit socks and I spent time quietly in the garden. I have never felt more exhausted in my life...
This is when we first got Wang Wang. She was just 8 weeks old. It's amazing how much difference a few months can make.
My first week doodle page(s). I used acrylic paints, Ranger inks, black marker, Bic Wite Out pen, stencils
My plan for this week was much more precise than the previous weeks. I wanted to visit the other cathedral in Liverpool, the Roman Catholic "Paddy's Wigwam" as it's colloquially known, and get a picture of the inside of the tower and it's stained glass.
Unfortunately, due to the circular shape of the building, the altar is directly below the tower and was roped off, so I couldn't get the shot I wanted; looking vertically upwards.
So I was forced to look around and consider different ideas. In the end, this was the best one. It's the view from a small one person prayer desk in a small alcove, taken from a first-person perspective. I wanted to convey the image of being knelt there, in front of the candle and Jesus and the solemnity of the position.
Week #42 - Abstract
This sits on my desk at work and I love the way it catches the light coming in the window.
Haven't taken pictures of Chris in awhile. He was in a funny mood today, so lots of cute faces in the comments :)
11/52
I thought I might join in on this 52 weeks group, it looks an interesting project and I have my new tripod!
It is an interesting photo because I still struggle to recognise this person in this photo. I love the hair cut but combined with glasses I don't always know who the reflection belongs to. Mind you it must be me, I has a gin!!
I have just realised many people won't understand from just this photo and the hair comment, about eight weeks ago I had my hip length straight blonde hair cut off at the length you see here. Also I have only just started wearing the glasses, both fairly dramatic changes in my appearance.
My computer is working again :)
I've been taking so many photos, so be ready for massive uploads while i try to catch my stream up with my 52 week project!
In other words, IM BACK!
This is me, just me. No make-up, hair not done, unedited etc. Just plain me. I took more than 100 pictures this week but nothing filled my expectations of the theme so I got a lil more creative (got told off by my children for writing on my face though lol)
These are the things I want to be as often as I can.
Sometimes I have to be "Bad Mummy" and I hate that but it's how kids learn right?
Confidence is a huge thing for me, I wish I could say I feel it at least once a day but that'd be a lie.
I do work hard at whatever I do which is currently a SAHM.
I want to be happy but all those other emotions get in the way sometimes.
I want to be more patient.
I want to make more friends locally.
I want to be carefree but in such a worrying world that is hard most days.
The one thing I am day in and day out, from start to finish is LOVED by my husband and my children!
