Active Assignments Weekly : Movement and Motion.
With the lens pressed up against the window, I have tried to capture the excitment of a train journey into the countryside.
The trees close to the track race by and give a tantalising glimps of the delights that await.
I wanted to use the window frame and maybe the seats of the train to give some context, but the window was just too dirty for that, so I used the tracks to provide the context.
So I'm living in Ottawa now, and I've noticed "active lifestyle" is a really big thing... considering the number of outdoor venues I'm not surprised. I think it's really interesting and I hope to document it in abstract ways this summer while I'm here.
Sorry for the break in updates, I've got a big backlog of stuff to go through after my trip to Waterloo and Engagement photo session with my friends Carly and Ryan at the end of April.
I have plenty of free time on my hands though, being on my own in Ottawa, so I should be back up to regular posting soon!
Thanks for stopping by!
Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis)
This is one of the cardinal parents that have made a nest in one of the trees in my backyard. For weeks I saw the pair preparing the nest, and just recently I noticed that they were actively feeding some chicks in the nest.
The problem is that the tree that they've chosen is very unstable and gets blown around by the wind a lot, esp here in north Texas. The wind has blown both chicks out of the nest. The first time, one of the two chicks did not survive the fall. I put the surviving chick back into the nest. The next day I found it on the ground again, still alive. I put it back in the nest again. A few hours later I found the chick on the ground again. This time I scooped it up and took it to a local wildlife shelter. They are caring for it now, much to the dismay of the original parents. Ah well, hopefully they will learn to build their nest in a more stable tree next year.
NOTE: Whoa, after seeing this on my work monitor it appears as if the saturation is a bit high. I might need to re-calibrate my photo-editing monitor.
Active Assignment Weekly:May 5-12, 2014 - Product Photography
Made one of those cardboard light tents. Used white chart paper behind & a bedsheet to cover the box. Two lamps on either side of box shining thru the sheet. Did have to use curves layer in PS to whiten more.
Its not as sharp as I would like but I ran out of time as usual.
Rheannon went to her home town, San Luis Obispo, and took some pictures of her sisters, Josie and Ceara in the wild flowers in Santa Margarita. She used Fuji Superia X-tra 400 film on the Minolta x-570.
Active Assignment Weekly: Nov 28-Dec 5: All Things Orange
WIT- A search for something orange..........I don't seem to have a lot of orange things....
Available light, sharpening, and crop.....that is it.
Heterodon platirhinos
An adult found active in a prairie fen in southwest Michigan. Hognose snakes are generally associated with dry, sandy soils where they hunt toads; their favorite prey. But this individual, along with another seen the day before, were found in a wet lowland.
Active Assignment Weekly: 23-30 May 2016: Water:
"I find water to be an inspiration - it is present everywhere, has countless shapes and colors, catches light in different ways and gives a photographer the freedom to play with it as he wishes. Restriction - only water, no other liquids :)"
WIT: Pouring water from a jug in the evening sun. Cropped then adjusted levels to turn background darker.
Bear is a purebred “Chow Hound”! We looked after him for just over two weeks while his owners were on holiday. He can be quite charming but is very insistent. When “sad eyes” don’t work he resorts to jumping in place. By the end of his visit Bear learned that we won’t feed him at the table but he remains hopeful nonetheless.
So here is my Savers find Sindy, which I found has an Active Body with an extra piece in her torso to pose better. It results in cute looking stomach rolls on her so i like it haha.
The annoying thing is though, I’ve found *nothing* on how to replace her hands online and I’m kind of worried since she’s pretty much mint otherwise, and is one of the better looking vintage dolls I’ve restored.
I’ll eventually get around to photographing all of my british made dolls when I get my other Sindy from home.
Active Assignment Weekly: Cinematic Photography
A cinematic photo is one which looks like a frame taken from a movie. There are no definite rules, but a cinematic photo should present some strong mood or emotion (happy, sad, fear, love, etc.), and tell some kind of story to the viewer.
Restriction: The photo must be in landscape orientation (like a movie frame might be) - e.g. 4:3 or 16:9 ratio.
WIT: Tried to get my model to look contemplative and moody, alas, this is what I got. I'm thinking some sort of teen angst/coming-of-age film. Queue the sappy music...Straightened and cropped with adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation (only slightly).
