Wow everyone with your beautiful photo!

Active Assignment Weekly: Liquid in Motion
The Assignment:
For those of you who don’t like set-up, this will challenge you a bit, but I promise it’ll be fun and hopefully a good learning experience that will stretch your photography journey. I first learned about the relationship between lighting conditions, flash, aperture, and shutter speed when trying to shoot my son’s baseball games. Those learnings then extended to shooting water movement whether it was a water fight or shooting one of those cool water splash shots.
The Assignment : Shoot a picture that captures liquid of any type frozen in motion. It can be taken indoors or outdoors. The liquid amount can be a drop or a wave-full and the movement can be accompanied by any object or living being. Depending on the speed of your lens (i.e. shutter speed at a given aperture or vice versa) and availability of flash, you may consider taking the shot in outdoor lighting. Using a tripod will help immensely.
Restrictions: None, except no fabrication of liquid movement in post processing.
Dare: If you have not tried a water splash type shot before, I dare you to get that under your belt.
WIT: After reading of the hours you folks had spent on yours, the heckling neighbors, the broken flashes, even the wife driving full speed at the photographer, I decided to play it safe and go with what I knew. So, after assuring that the toilet was exceedingly clean, I flushed. I did use a tripod and shot in shutter priority...both outside of my norm. I also learned how to perform continuous burst shooting and played around with a halogen work light to adjust lighting. Then in PSE, I played with levels (on color...also new to me) and chrome filters, blue filters, and finally, a violet filter. The norm: adjust contrast, sharpness, and saturation. I applaud you splashers! It's been fun to see what you all presented! Maybe next time for me!
Today, Wednesday 04 April, MINUSCA hold his weekly press conference at the Mission's HQ. Special guest for the Press conference was the Force Commander, General Balla Keita (from Senegal).
Main key discussions were about the recent attack on MINUSCA temporary base in Tagbara, located 60km from Bambari and during which one (1) UN Peacekeeper from Mauritania lost his life and 11 other were injured.
Other element of the conference were about the current situation in PK5 neighborhood.

What it took: I just had to wait for someone to walk past in that area. I was in the cafe downstairs. I've just changed the contrast a little.

Active Assignment Weekly - soft focus.
ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION
Your assignment this week is to capture your images using a technique called "Soft focus". There are a number of different ways to achieve soft focus; including manual de-focusing, stretching a nylon stocking over your lens, using a diffusion filter, or post processing. The idea being that your image is soft and pleasing to look at. I know I imediately delete any shot thats not fully in focus, and this will be a challenge. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
WIT: One clear bowl of water, one CD in the bottom, and a few drops of vegetable oil... the autofocus wasn't picking up the oil drops (and neither were my aging eyes), so this was an outtake on an experiment that I want to try again in natural light. Shot under tungstun lights, 0.4 sec, f/2.8, ISO 800, curves adjustment and vibrancy addition in CS4, noise reduction, and sharpening (though I don't think that did a thing).
Waiting for a one to one student to turn up and was watching Windows Weekly while waiting (alliteration ahoy!!) This sprung to mind so drawn in around 45 mins flat :)
BLIMEY I love ArtRage/Surface Pro.
Incidentally the left hand side was drawn with the Surface Pro 3 pen, the right with the Surface Pro 4 pen. OH MY GOODNESS Mary side wins (for sheer joy on stylus on screen action. If you can't afford to update from Surfy 3 to 4 (and it's a questionable upgrade as the Pro 3 is still powerful enough for a substantial amount of uses...) then the upgrade of the pen (and the keyboard too I suspect) is enough to make it feel like it's a while new experience.....
For Active Assignment Weekly: July 21-28 Rust
I love these assignments, they get me to notice wonderful things I would otherwise walk straight past.
So I got to spend some time sitting on the grass, with my camera on a tripod, and a +4 macro lens adapter attached. Clickety-click!
