Active Assignment Weekly: Jan 11 to Jan 18: 'Something with Meaning'
What a great assignment, a moment to pause and look around at all the things that mean something to you. I loved every fustrating moment of this assignment!!
With that said..............what to photograph..........so many things mean so much to me. My family, extended and immediate, my friends near and far, my work.................. on and on.
But then I noticed that for the last 2 weeks all my attention was focused on this broken camera.............as if one of my family members had been injured.........
This camera was my first digital.......... picked out for me by my husband who was scared to death to pick the wrong thing. I recieved it on Christmas in 2006,................I cried and was truly touched at his push for me to continue with the love I had found behind the camera. To show the world what I saw..........in my way.
Any one who knows me knows that this camera is almost always with me, whether in my camera bag, in my purse, or around my neck............I have captured more moments than I can count or would want to.
I recently got a Sony an actual DSLR, but my first love will always be the Panasonic "DSLR wanna be" :)
So I was devestated when after carting it to work with me in a bag I don't usually use it dropped out and bounced across the frozen ground. Tired.........I never turned it on til the next day when then I found nothing but a black screen and it taking only all black images.................again I cried. Told myself "you have the Sony".............that did not help.........I still cried.
My husband lovingly looked for the paper work (which even after all this time I am not allowed to see) and found that the warranty did not end til Feb. 2010 YAY!!
Packaged it up shipped it out and have been waiting for it to come home...........anyone who knows me knows that I am one of the lucky with an address that confuses the whole postal set up in this are LOL ..............so a two day shipment that should have happened last week has finished today, with my baby coming home, as of this moment I am sighing in releif as it warms up and I wait to make sure that all is ok with it again.
Some of the things that mean the most to us are the ones we never saw coming............or realize until something happens to it.
Would I have fixed it without the warranty covering it...................yes, and that is how I know this things means so much to me. I would have never thought an object could become such a part of me, and who I am.

Assignment - Above and Below
Not sure if this qualifies, but I live in a rural area and not a lot of opportunity for multiple story photos. It's early in the week though, so will still be keeping my eyes open!
WIT: With the angle of the sun, one side of the building was a bit shadowed creating what I thought was an interesting look. The camera was centered on the corner and focused at the top corner.
Active Assignment Weekly: Nightime
In honor of the current meteor showers and all of the wonderful Christmas lightings out there, let's make this week's assignment a nighttime shot. No subject, just get out there and test your skills doing a nighttime shot.
WIT: Nina Akamu (American, born 1955). The American Horse, 1998, Bronze. Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park. www.meijergardens.org/
Thanks Cliffwix for getting me back outside with my camera. 1600 ISO, F14, 13s.
The photo interest group at our church met this evening. Our assignment for this month: orange. Anything orange. This was one of the images I sent in.

Active Assignment Weekly: June 6-13: Nature's Geometric Shapes
Being an engineer, it has always fascinated me how nature can construct geometric shapes (circles,triangles,pentagons, hexagons... and on and on) so perfectly. We mortal beings must use rulers, compasses, and straight edges to create such things.
For the assignment, photograph a geometric shape created by nature.
There used to be dew on the spider's web, before I got up this morning. So I simply replaced it with a spray mist of water. SOOC. I don't have close up or macro lenses, so this is a close as I could get.
For this photo, I took a picture of a collection of leaves along with some melting snow. I like how the picture turned out clear with lots of different colors.

This is a second shot of my husband just tasting the meal he was preparing. I posted it because I like the light and the shadow.
Active Assignments Weekly : Movement and Motion.
With the lens pressed up against the window, I have tried to capture the excitment of a train journey into the countryside.
The trees close to the track race by and give a tantalising glimps of the delights that await.
I wanted to use the window frame and maybe the seats of the train to give some context, but the window was just too dirty for that, so I used the tracks to provide the context.
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

My level of expertise with photo editing was very little. I only used photoshop one time in highschool and that was about it. The editing program that i used was Aviary, this program is very friendly and very easy to mess around on to find what you like. The first thing i did was use the crop tool to cut out the finger from the original photo and get closer to the flower. The next thing i did was the hd option it gave the photo a better lighting. After that i used the sharpening tool to get the fine lines and little details. I also used the contrast tool and the saturation tool to get the vibrant color out of the flower unlike the original. The original photo goal was to get the background to be blurry which helped this image by making the flower pop out. The edits that i did changed the photo from being nothing special to very energetic and vibrant. It changed the meaning to focus on how the flower pops out and has very fiery colors that make it appealing.
Taken for Active Weekly Assignment: Black and White and Red All Over.
WIT: Trying to get the little girl to sit still long enough to take the shot. Set up a white towel and grabbed a Hibiscus flower off the bush. Resisting the urge to post process was the hardest.
Assignment: This week will challenge you to capture subjects that have at least 75% pure Black and White elements in the photo frame – no other colours can be predominent (skin tones are ok, but can't make up more than 25%)
One compulsory addition: add a spot of Red, somewhere, somehow into the photo (i.e. introduce red rose petals on piano keys, but keeping in mind the green stem and leaves are forbidden.)
Restriction: No black and white film/image – you must shoot in colour, and bring back a photo in RGB.
Dare: Absolutely no post-processing! WYSIWYG: shoot as if you had positive slide film, and could not make any adjustments. This is directed at those of us who love to 'tweak' in PS by sliding around Curves, Levels, Selective Colour, Brightnes/Contrast, Highlight/Shadows, etc. Try going without and bring back your results from what you shot 'in camera' only.
One acceptable exception: if shooting RAW, you can use a sharpen command, but nothing more.
Assignment-2: Environmental Portrait of a Women(best chief)
She is world best chief, always trying to serve a good food.
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 52 -- Freeze action
(I think the blur of gun & shell is blurred focus, rather than motion blur. Such an unexpected sort of shot, I'm going with it.)

I've been in a very edittyy mood recently :)
This is one of thecrappy outcomes xD
I hate the leg lots :)
It looked much better before I uploaded it here... maybe I uploaded the wrong version...
Oh well xD
I'm taking a 35mm black and white photography course at my Uni this semester and my teacher is kind enough to scan the work that we hand in.
This is one of the two prints I chose to hand in for my first assignment which was on scale. It seems to have scanned with a slight blue/purpleish tint though it is black and white.
Photo taken with a Yashica FR and Ilford HP5 Plus 400 ISO film. Processed, developed and printed by me.
Specular highlight assignment for Strobist Lighting 102. Our goal was to get the highlight on the background, and frame that behind the subject's head to help show separation....I managed to do it, but not quite as perfectly as I'd like! lol My subject was being rather difficult. :) But I did line the highlight up pretty well behind her head, and it definitely helps the separation...just wish the brightest part would've been all the way behind her head and not just partially.
ISO 400
f/5.6
1/250
Flash to camera right about 20-30 degrees in shoot through umbrella. I believe it was zoomed to 105mm and on about 1/8 power...and I promise I'm going to be better about writing that part down so I remember for sure! lol
