Trying to take a nice picture of my "48 star" USA flag I have had since I was a child.
As you notice, I had a helper!! LOL
Active Assignment Weekly 2/6: Water
WIT: 2 soda bottles. One filled with water and glitter and connected to the other with a plastic coupler and washer. 2 off camera flashes on snoots with camera below. Black backdrop. Some PP contrast and highlight adjustments. Lots of swirls and random testing of camera settings and flash position in order to minimize reflections and expose the tornado.
This week’s assignment is to find a quiet place
Don’t – none, just take a break from your busy days and go shooting!
Dare – add people (same as last week, sorry I just love pictures of people)
My husband and I went to Colonial Williamsburg yesterday just to stroll around. It's about 1 1/2 hours from our house. On the way home we stopped at this wonderfully quiet place on a river bank. My husband is off in the distance and I'm in the corner (shadow).

I have the original printing of this (M2904, 1974), but some genius at Fawcett decided that a big black banner across the illustration would be just perfect ("The New Sam Durell Adventure").

this is my submission for the second assignment for Strobist Bootcamp II. I'm a bit disapointed because i cannot seem to get the colors to come out right on the web.
I'm a complete novice at studio work and this was a major learning experience for me. It turned out to be much much more challenging than i had thought.
Strobist: 580EX II 1/2 camera left and behind, 430EX 1/16 camera right about level with the subject, gold reflector camera left, held by a voice activated stand (my son). Canon 30D with 17-85 lens 1/60 sec, F/16 (set up in my stream)

Shooting for a purpose
Jan 5th 2014
I must admit I thought the assignment wanted just the image (with no text) but I note all the others so far have text added - so I did!
The meaning is obvious, I hope. An Agency specialising in counselling services for those experiencing marriage or relationship problems.
On reflection I wish the crack was a bit narrower, but I hope the meaning is clear. :)
Two images. The bells and the cracked earth background showing through. Blended in PSE5 and text added there too.

Submitted to Active Assignment Weekly. This week's assignment was b craw
Inspiration: I wanted to research b craw in more detail. Find out more about what makes him tick, what his inspiration is, and whether he has material available for exploration in addition to his pictures here at flickr. So I followed the link from his flickr profile to his homepage. On the welcome page, he explains his work this way:
The predicates of my work are familiar--yet, ultimately in-locatable--contexts, wherein collective cultural-mythic structures and my biography coalesce to play upon art image/object as substance and residue, fixed autonomous form and frictional fluidity; it is a phrenetic process that forms, re-forms, and erases cultural and biographical loci via the intrinsic mutability of artistic practice.
And that was the inspiration for this picture.
Active Assignment Weekly: Jan 18-25 "Details"
Rumpleteazer is one of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen. He has just as much spunk as when my mom saved him from the side of the road many years ago.
There is a color version of this in my photostream as well, but I thought the b&w highlighted the details a little more effectively for the AAW.
"And when you heard a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
Or down from the library came a loud ping
From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming
Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat?
It was Mungojerrie! And Rumpleteazer!"
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!”
― T.S. Eliot, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
I downloaded a new app to my ipad called Assignment. It has wonderful ideas to get me back to and motivated to shooting more often.
Doing the strobist assignment at the beach
Strobist Info:
- 1 bare flash on model right
- gold reflector below
My final entries for #DEDPXL01 lines assignment.
Below my building there are storage boxes and lots of pipes. Last door is to the building main water pipes. For me it looks better without the human element.
Natural light from left, mixed with indoor light spots in the main hallway. Telephoto to compress pillars shades.
Already posted this but now with some straightening.
For this assignment I decided to go with colour instead of B&W since I wanted to incorporate gels into the equation. I thought the red adds that element of impending action about to take place...
Another light or a reflector could've helped to improved background separation. Next time...
Strobist: sb-24 snooted with gobo blinds and gobo of person silhouette 1/16 power hard left of camera with red gel; sb-80dx 1/32 power with grid spot, camera right and high.
