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......
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!
So Austin's first computer class assignment was a success. He was required to just use 2 different programs to create a visual/dgital image. Gee, I wonder what he chose? :) He got out the LEGO Adventure Book and built Psaki's old TRex in LDD then rendered it with Bluerender.
Best viewed large. The reeks from the mountains around Cloon Lough. I didn't get around to visiting everyones streams yesterday due to an assignment but I will today !
As usual there are notes to show whats what.
I've had to correct myself, Beenkeragh was not in this picture, its hidden behind Carrauntoohil. Cnoc na Toinne and Cnoc an Chuilinn form the start of the eastern reeks that expand all the way out from Carrauntoohil to the Gap of Dunloe. We'll be taking this long ridge in on next weeks hike. Hopefully the weather stays clear for it. I've yet to hike in the reeks in fair weather. It always seems to be stormy
Active Assignment Weekly April 18 - 25: Street Photography
WIT: Walking up and down the street, and, in an alleyway, caught this soccer game being played between father and sons, a perfect activity for a Sunday afternoon. Didn't want to be noticed, so took a quick shot, almost from the hip. In post cropped to 8 by 10, and adjusted the colours.
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!
Taken for Assignment 52 assignment #4..Only had the use of white paper for backdrop,window light and a mirror for fill light.

All of us at Paparazzi can say is Hott Hott Hott! Looks like someone's been back on track with the trainer and nutritionist. We realized a few months ago that Jasper had put on some weight, which was unusual for her. (must have been those fruit loops from the commercial) But it looks like she's back on the hot-bod boat, and there to stay!
