I still had a problem with the light, even if I changed the ISO-value. Also because I hadn't a tripod, the picture isn't sharp enough. Next time I surely will use one.
I used a higher aperture to take this. It didn't really effect the light all that much, but it created a longer depth of field.
First attempt at the Film Noir assignment from the Lighting 102 series.
YN-565EX at 1/16 power, slightly camera left, fired up and through the blinds.
SB-600 at 1/4 power with a homemade grid spot up 8+ ft high, camera right, angled down at faces.
On camera flash used as fill (1/8 power) and used to trigger both slaves.
Active Assignment Weekly Challenge - Pets
I had intended to take a photo of my dogs, but saw this one on the way to work, and quickly took the snap on my i-Phone. I cropped the photo using the Photoshop application on my phone, along with some minor adjustment (less shadows, more contrast).
Assignment: PCA65 – Architectural Abstract
Deadline: May 17th, 2009
Image Tag: pca65
From: SkeenaValleyGirl – Judy
Mission: This week’s mission is to capture an image, the main subject of which is architectural (in its man-made building sense) - a whole edifice (Gothic Church), or a simple structure (wooden bridge), OR any portion of an architectural subject AND to depict it in an abstract way.
Compose the shot, or do some fun pp work on it, so that what we end up seeing might be colour, shape, texture, light/shadow play ...
What it took (WIT): For a change I did not have time to work out this assignment with the time that it deserves, and although I wanted to showcase the many patterns which are easily found in the Middle East Architecture I ended up confined to looking for an abstract late evening at home.
I tried different angles of different things and settled with this submission as I liked how the light falls off very quickly and I tried working out a composition that emphasized the symmetry without including distracting elements into it. In case you have not worked it out yet it is a ceiling mounted glass lamp.
Not the finest work of art, nevertheless an interesting stretch. So hit me with your feedback.
these are photos from my daughter's $20 disney princess camera that I took at the "assignment houston" meetup at the Houston Museum of Natural Science on Jul. 13
Active Assignment Weekly: Liquid in Motion
The Assignment:
For those of you who don’t like set-up, this will challenge you a bit, but I promise it’ll be fun and hopefully a good learning experience that will stretch your photography journey. I first learned about the relationship between lighting conditions, flash, aperture, and shutter speed when trying to shoot my son’s baseball games. Those learnings then extended to shooting water movement whether it was a water fight or shooting one of those cool water splash shots.
The Assignment : Shoot a picture that captures liquid of any type frozen in motion. It can be taken indoors or outdoors. The liquid amount can be a drop or a wave-full and the movement can be accompanied by any object or living being. Depending on the speed of your lens (i.e. shutter speed at a given aperture or vice versa) and availability of flash, you may consider taking the shot in outdoor lighting. Using a tripod will help immensely.
Restrictions: None, except no fabrication of liquid movement in post processing.
Dare: If you have not tried a water splash type shot before, I dare you to get that under your belt.
WIT: After a week of failed contemplating on what the hell to do for this shot.. it rained today.. possibly snow by tonight, so we acted quickly. Decided to do this and searched for some puddle out of the way of main traffic.. Why can't you find that when you want to?? Anyway, Cliff dropped me off in the rain and turned around to barrel toward the puddle (and me). Had the camera set on burst, Shutter Priority at 1/800 sec to stop the action, upped the ISO to 800 so I could have enough light at F/2.8. CS4 adjustments included a good crop (hey, I really wasn't standing this close), desature, curves, sharpen, resize.
I asked people to tell me what to take pictures of. This is the closest you're going to get. It's actually an ape. Sorry.

Active Assignment Weekly for December 28-January 3: Metal/Metallic
This week's assignment is to explore the challenge of photographing shiny metallic objects. The subject doesn't necessarily need to be made of metal, but it must convey the essence of being metallic (such as having the iridescent and reflective properties of metal). Heavily rusted metal does't count. Look for items like chrome, polished steel, freshly cut metal surfaces, spoons, foil. Buff it up and show me the shine.
Dare: Photograph a spherical object and/or incorporate lots of color
Restriction: None
This was yet another idea derived while sitting on the john. This is a toilet paper holder for spare rolls and I thought it would fit the assignment rather nicely.
So, I originally shot this with a black background but then I noticed the dare while I was adding my WIT and I thought I should reshoot it with some color :-) I am glad I did because I got this cool shadow with the lighter background.
WIT: Used my SB600 strobe on the floor pointing at the paper holder with the paper holder in between the camera and the flash. Tried different angles until I got a result I liked. In Lightroom cropped and upped contrast.
Just a couple of squidlike cephalopods, drawn up for class. The assignment is:
"Take one creature, Fantasy, Sci fi, whatever. Show five versions of it ranging from technical illustration to abstraction. (Tech. illus., realism, basic shape, return to line, abstract. ) Then arrenge them in a pleasing composition that would be suitible for a magasine article or storybook."
"Once completed the planning stage, submit it for reveiw" ...blah blah blah... " you are free to use mixed media, including limited 3D composition materials."
Err, yeah, this is only sketchbook stuff. It'll get better as it goes.
This is the first of a series of 20 images I am required to capture for my Photography class at IADT as part of an assignment this week. The first photo is supposed to involve something diagonal. I decided to apply some selective color to make it more interesting.
Assignment-2: Environmental Portrait of a Women(Mother)

Incase you didn't know this is Calamity Calls :)
Tell me what you think :)
I wish I'd thought of two better choices ... :S
