After successfully staging ‘Familiar Strangers’, cast members Chua Yu Xuan, 22 (left) and Dorothy Chong, 20 (right) did not have any practical reason to still be talking to each other. Yet, guided by the shared memories they created whilst piecing the play together, the pair still maintain a close friendship. Even with their other school friends around them, Dorothy and Yu Xuan still meet to tell each other about their daily lives and their talks are peppered with references from the production – be it lines from the play, traits of other people they observed, or unforgettable events that they experienced. // Straight after a lecture, Chua Yu Xuan, 22 (left) and Dorothy Chong, 20 (right) reminisce about their rehearsal days.
Active Assignment Weekly: "Through the eyes of a child"
Can you remember what it’s like to be a child? When you look back, you see those years through rose-colored glasses and it’s all happy memories. Do you watch how your children, nieces and nephews, or friends’ children interact with the world around them? It’s fascinating to watch. This week capture and share an image conveying the world through the eye of a child.
A few ideas: Everything is new, Everyone is a possible friend, You can be anything, The world is full of possibilities, You do things "just because".
WIT: My eight-year old grandson considering his next Scrabble move. The glass table didn't make for great composition, but in the interests of getting a submission in after a long break, I submitted anyway. Cropped but otherwise SOOC. He went on to win the game (with a little help!).

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).
Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: Clouds
First of all, let me thank gfpeck for coming up with this assignment idea. I would have to say that prior to Saturday morning when it had either been completely overcasted or completely clear skys that I was not very happy with this assignment.
Saturday morning, however, turned into one of my best picture taking learning experiences ever. Bare with me, this is going to get a little wordy, but hpping you can relate to it as a fellow picture taker.
It all started at 6:30am. Went out in hopes of catching some interesting clouds only to see blankets of cloud overhead. Not hopeful. At around 6:45am, I noticed that the wind picked up to around 30 miles per hour which started to stir the clouds a bit. At the same time, I could tell that the sunrise was trying to fight it's way through the think sheets of clouds. Before I knew it, the wind started to break up the clouds significantly causing the scenery to change all around me. On the one hand, the sun rays were beaming through the clouds, on the other hand, the clouds behind and to the side of me were receiving pinkish light from the sunrise. We had our share of dark clouds too. It became a cloud wonderland.
I had my tripod set up (for a change) and found myself turning everywhich way to catch a picture. I'm learning about RAW images and exposure, so with every scene, I experimented with different shutter speeds and just thoroughly enjoyed how the results differed with every exposure change. With the wind blowing hard, the scenery, lighting, and colors, even changed between exposure adjustments. Nothing stayed still for me to shoot for more than a minute (crazy, but fun). In under 60 minutes, I got to watch the clouds dance between the sun and the light that it produced. Magnificent.
I couldn't believe I ended up snapping over 250 shots in raw (luckily I have a large memory card). I struggled with which 2 pictures to submit. There were other pictures that I took which were more focused on light. I ended up submitting to AAW pictures that emphsized the clouds. I've posted a mosaic of those pictures to share here (if interested).

WIT: Converted from RAW to Jpeg with light contrast adjustments.

Write a short paragraph describing how you consider young people choose their friends, spouse, and place to live.
Had a big salad today in the dairy cafeteria at work. In this photo you can see shredded cabbage, tabouli, and mixed salad greens. There's tuna and a sliced hard-boiled egg at the bottom.
AAW: Bokeh
Our assignment this week is to take a photo with a pleasing bokeh. A photo in which the bokeh is what makes the photo work so well.
Here is a definition of bokeh: Bokeh is the quality of out-of-focus or “blurry” parts of the image rendered by a camera lens. The blur that you are so used to seeing in photography that separates a subject from the background is the result of shallow “depth of field” and is generally simply called “background blur”. The quality and feel of the background/foreground blur and reflected points of light, however, is what photographers call Bokeh.
WIT: Morning photo shoot under cloudy skies. In post, black and white conversion and levels.
For the paparrazi competition at SA!

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

As J.L. Simmons, a rich toy maker who loves kids and is learning to scuba dive. On his final lesson Simmons goes out with his teacher Bill and Bill's daughter but Simmons disappears and is assumed dead...or is he?
Discordant lines, this just looks so wrong. I think the eye is forced to travel unnaturally from bottom right towards the top and left, and all the lines in the foreground and background just serve to distract and confuse. And where is a subject...?
The only thing going for it is the completely natural sepia tones, thanks to corrosion and drought in South Australia.
Our final project for a Design Basics 3D class was to fabricate and fly a kite. Here one of my classmates is carring the box kite she made.
One of the shots with which I was most pleased from the batch.

Active Assignment Weekly: Zone System B&W
The last photo I submitted was too flat, so I'm submitting this one. Thank you so much, Richard, for this assignment. I learned so much! I worked a lot on this photo I took in the park earlier today. The initial histogram was kind of flat. I was going to take multiple exposures, but I didn't have my tripod. So I created multiple exposures in CS4 and did some blending. Then I did some selective touch up.
The final histogram is below.
Guardian camera club utilities assignment.
I had some 4 core telephone cable in the flat from when I moved a socket, thought this would make a more intresting shot striped back to remove the casing. Also moved the light around to try to maximise shaddows and highlights. Later tried some mono shots and liked the results.
Enjoy and thanks for looking.

Assignment: Consumerism
Straight from our waste paper bin a sample of the loads of advertising we get daily plus a bill of the shopping I had just done at the supermarket (something which has to do more with our need to eat now and then than with consumerism, actually). Ironically enough now that Italians are under stress and with no money because of the economical crisis, advertising seems to have grown to an unbearable extent, at least in our mail box.
I adjusted light and contrast in the .raw file then added a slight vignette effect.
Assignment 52 -- Painting with light
Visions of the Green Fairy were said to come to those who drank quantities. I haven't seen the Fairy yet myself. This light painting was done with the flame of a fireplace lighter.
