I don't think this is exactly what my instructor wanted when he gave us our assignment for this week. I love it!
Photo taken through a dirty window looking into the bathhouse at Coe Hall. The purpose of the interiors assignment is to learn how to adjust the camera for the various types of light encountered indoors. Used the polarized filter here.
I don't think I'm ever going to make page 1 of Explore...... sigh......
Here was another treatment of the lantern and lighting. I was going for the homey look with the dish cabinet. Neither this one or Assignment 1 was chosen. But I had fun thinking of new ways to show a lantern.
Dark, mysterious....... I'll take many more photos for this assignment!
I love stairways. Especially the winding, marble stairway at the New York Public Llibrary.
Rolling thru one of Alexandria subdivision most interesting stretch of track, two Canadian National GP38-2 had a short train of empties in tow while coasting downhill into the set of banked reverse curves just west of Alexandria on their way to Coteau yard to exchange cars.
The former status of this transcontinental mainline cannot be hide too much; wide and broad curves complete with high speed banking, 100 MPH passenger speed over many sections of the 76 mile-long right of way along with a daily parade of varnish connecting Canada's capital with major city centre.
Sure no more thru freight pounding the mainline and linking Eastern Canada with Northern Ontario since the closure of Beachburg subdivision thru Ottawa Valley by CN in 1995, but freight trafic still barely active in this part of the world, at least enough to guaranteed four train crew assignment in Ottawa working the six-days-a-week 589 job.
Veteran locomotive engineer N.P, the current #1 on the OCR seniority list, is at the helm today, releasing every possible horsepower from his assigned old ladies in order to stay out of the way of those modern day varnish.

Styling assignment: Camera: Canon 1DX Mark II. Lens: Canon 24-70mm, f/4.5, SS: 1/50, ISO 200. Light source: Canon 600EXII-RT Speedlight w/Impact 24" x 24" Quickbox with grid. Note: Child was not sitting on a shelf. He was laying with his back on the floor. Image was shot from above.
Every piece of assignment is unique and full of brilliant ideas. All my ideas translated into thousand of words that explain everything you need to know about the particular topic.
Here i used blue torchlight to focus on the outer ring and took the photo.
Object: Assignment binder.

This assignment was about the choice and use textures and backgrounds to complement or contrast.

In shooting this plant, my first concern was "trying to tame the chaos." This plant possessed a fierceness to it, with petals and shapes going every which way. I found it seductive but extremely busy. Did I want deep DOF with front to back sharpness, or did I wish to go soft and romantic with shallow DOF focusing on the some petal edges closest to me? (I went deep.)
The vibrancy and color of this plant is always a troublesome one for me (and my cameras). Do I go for auto white balance or custom? (I went both.) I shot against a white background under soft, natural light (basically northern sky) to eliminate shifting color-of-light temp issues.
After shooting was done, I picked the image I liked most and started to process it. I often work fast as I process. Music sometimes sets my mood and pace; other times it reflects it. When working fast I tend to work more intuitively (feeling) and not consciously (thought), although I'd be uncomfortable trying to put a % to that mix.
Periodically I stop to see if the image is looking as I want.
Oddly enough, if an image isn't "making it," I seldom start over from scratch (raw file). I don't know why. I just make corrections as I go, usually by adding layers (sometimes I label these layers, sometimes I don't; I wish I always did. I get lazy). In my younger days I studied painting (oil and acrylics). You don't chuck a canvas when something isn't working, you just paint over it (the Mona Lisa is about 30 layers deep. Yes, 30!) That attitude still lives for me.
Image done. Then to the assignment. Pick a texture - again, a mainly intuitive process. Apply and process it. Adjust color (hue, saturation, contrast), blur, sharpen, depth to suit. Process more. This can often take as much work or a long to do as processing the image. Most times I use only one texture (repeated as desired. On occasion, two. Seldom more).
Now the process feels more purposeful. Analyze the image with a conscious eye, looking for what's working, what's not, what do I want? Make changes; sometimes really itsy-bitsy ones that no one will ever see or note, and I probably won't remember having made.
Finally I get to, "Enough. I'm done. It's done."
The great, New Wave film-maker, Francois Truffaut is reported to have said about film-making, "You you start a film, you want to make a truly Great Movie. Halfway though, you're working to make a Good Movie. By the end you just want to get the damn thing done and not be ashamed of it."
Yep. Sounds about right.
Texture: my own.
I took this photograph for a Weekend Assignment and Contest group (www.flickr.com/groups/weekend_assignment/). This week's theme is "exploring heritage".
This is Central Lake, MI where I currently live. My family has lived in this town for a really long long while. My Uncle lives in the house where my dad was born, just outside of town. The house is on land that was a portion of the original homestead made by my father's family more than 5 generations back. It's interesting to realize that the old photo here showed the town as it would have looked when my grandpa came here to do his shopping!
Active Assignment Weekly: FIrst Week of the Year
The first week of the new year is always special to me because it's my husband's and my anniversary. Today marks our 18th year together. He bought me these roses, and one of my cats decided to get into the picture.
Assignment 52 -- "Fine Art" -- what might you hang on your wall?
This assignment inspired me to experiment with HDR, to attempt an "old masters'" sort of glow to a still life. Amazingly fun & addictive!
(Shot in natural light, late afternoon sun.)
The assignment was to use Photoshop's Vanishing Point filter to wrap a banner or sign around a building. I decided to use a picture of the girls. I could have put more time into this. But, I had to get it done in a hurry. Using the filter was easy. The only work involved was making sure the light pole was in front of the banner. I should have darkened the right side of the banner a little as the light source is hitting the building on the other side. But, once again, I put this together quickly. I also should have created a crease going along the corner of the building. I'll probably fix these issues and replace this image at some point soon.
This little gem is on private property, I finally got a glimpse of it thru the vegetation now that the leaves are mostly gone......
This was a heavenly transfer...Thanks to Wayne who suggested my own transfer program would resize when I export...it worked GREAT!!!!!
Active Assignment Weekly: April 15-22, 2024, Simplicity. To me, simplicity means no distractions. I decided to use two of the many different techniques available to achieve this - fill the frame ("After the Rain") and negative space ("Beach Time"). Both photos were taken at Point Pelee National Park, Ontario. You'll be seeing a lot of pictures from this park, as I am here for two months (it is a bird migration hotspot).
They all fit nicely into this ONA Brixton. Question is... Do I need all of them on assignment?
Since getting rid of all my Canon gear last summer, I am very happy with the image quality of the Fuji X-System and its' form factor. Much more portable!
i sugest you only begin this entry if you have completed both previous assignments. thank you all, and have fun!!!!
how to play:
Create a picture collage, or scrapbook page with pictures of either past, present,future...or baby, childhood, and adult, as a model..
each picture should show a different memory of your model at a different stage in her life...best of luck, models & contestants
Taken for Assignment 52 assignment #4..Only had the use of white paper for backdrop,window light and a mirror for fill light.
