Assignment: Consumerism
Straight from our waste paper bin a sample of the loads of advertising we get daily plus a bill of the shopping I had just done at the supermarket (something which has to do more with our need to eat now and then than with consumerism, actually). Ironically enough now that Italians are under stress and with no money because of the economical crisis, advertising seems to have grown to an unbearable extent, at least in our mail box.
I adjusted light and contrast in the .raw file then added a slight vignette effect.

Active Assignment Weekly: Sept 6-Sept 13: Our Critter(s)
What we are looking for here is a photograph(s) of your very own (not necessarily favorite) Critter that makes an impact on your life.It can be a pup,cat,horse, bed bug or like in my case that bold back-yard grey squirrel. The Critter can be living with a friend, on the streets, or on your living room's window screen.
A brief discussion of why you picked this particular critter would also help.
DARE: Get up close and personal.
RESTRICTION; No human critters.
ADVICE: If taking the dare-be safe- DON'T GET BITTEN.....

Well, let's face it. My dog is ugly. I knew she wouldn't be winning this week's beauty competition, so I figured I would emphasize her talents.
This is BB, and although she is ugly, she is the most loving dog ever. She has been shunned since the birth of our son, but we try to give her love still. Here she is performing one of her only tricks, where she dances for a treat.
WIT: A friend to hold the treat while I snapped some shots. I know the crop is a little tight but I was using a 50mm prime lens, trying to photograph a moving dog who doesn't like cameras, so this is what you get :-)
Men's Talisman collection: Radio.Active pendant.
A modern twist on heraldic design, in which shield shapes display family crests. The modern crest: radioactive, untouchable.
Strung on a fashion-forward long chain in copper, this pendant features a brushed sterling silver plate with radioactive symbol pierced through, riveted to deep 'red-heart' exotic African wood.

Active Assignment Weekly: Nightime
In honor of the current meteor showers and all of the wonderful Christmas lightings out there, let's make this week's assignment a nighttime shot. No subject, just get out there and test your skills doing a nighttime shot.
WIT: Nina Akamu (American, born 1955). The American Horse, 1998, Bronze. Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park. www.meijergardens.org/
Thanks Cliffwix for getting me back outside with my camera. 1600 ISO, F14, 13s.
Active Assignment Weekly: June 6-13: Nature's Geometric Shapes
Being an engineer, it has always fascinated me how nature can construct geometric shapes (circles,triangles,pentagons, hexagons... and on and on) so perfectly. We mortal beings must use rulers, compasses, and straight edges to create such things.
For the assignment, photograph a geometric shape created by nature.
There used to be dew on the spider's web, before I got up this morning. So I simply replaced it with a spray mist of water. SOOC. I don't have close up or macro lenses, so this is a close as I could get.
Alan Beckford is a very good swimmer, and past winner of jake's, although his 14 year old daughter can whip him and everyone else out of the water!
152mm TecnoSky Refractor, 135mm D-ERF, Daystar Quark Chromosphere & PG IMX174. Best 20% from 2000+ frames captured, Autostakkert, IMPPG then into PS for tweaking.
Taken for Active Weekly Assignment: Black and White and Red All Over.
WIT: Trying to get the little girl to sit still long enough to take the shot. Set up a white towel and grabbed a Hibiscus flower off the bush. Resisting the urge to post process was the hardest.
Assignment: This week will challenge you to capture subjects that have at least 75% pure Black and White elements in the photo frame – no other colours can be predominent (skin tones are ok, but can't make up more than 25%)
One compulsory addition: add a spot of Red, somewhere, somehow into the photo (i.e. introduce red rose petals on piano keys, but keeping in mind the green stem and leaves are forbidden.)
Restriction: No black and white film/image – you must shoot in colour, and bring back a photo in RGB.
Dare: Absolutely no post-processing! WYSIWYG: shoot as if you had positive slide film, and could not make any adjustments. This is directed at those of us who love to 'tweak' in PS by sliding around Curves, Levels, Selective Colour, Brightnes/Contrast, Highlight/Shadows, etc. Try going without and bring back your results from what you shot 'in camera' only.
One acceptable exception: if shooting RAW, you can use a sharpen command, but nothing more.
