Shot for Active Assignment Weekly, September 2012 theme "My local Mountain.
WIT
It will take your imagination. We do not have mountains in The Netherlands. None. Not even a small one. There is, however, a committee of mountain-loving people that are raising funds to build a mountain. It will be around 3000 meters high, in the center of the country. So I took my picture of Amsterdam and blurred the background of office buildings to mimic a mountain ridge.
Can you imagine? Skiing in the Dutch Mountains?
There is already a song about the Dutch Mountains....
Slighty more difficult to work with than last week's potato masher
Strobist info: SB26 in shoot through brolly camera right, to light the subject and background. Fill card CL.
The brief for PwDP Assignment Five is, apparently, oriented towards photojournalism - photograph an event and market the results to relevant publications. This series is my own response. The background is in my blog, here - stansocapwdp.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Assignment Five.
It relates to a major sporting 'event' of the summer - The Ashes Test Series of cricket matches between England & Australia - but also to my research of contemporary still life photography for Assignment Four; questions around the way photographers might respond to image-saturation in the digital/internet world; and maybe questions around the 'truth' of photographic images. The intended outcome is a series of large prints but, hopefully, these digital versions provide some sense of what is intended.

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 reading of the hours you folks had spent on yours, the heckling neighbors, the broken flashes, even the wife driving full speed at the photographer, I decided to play it safe and go with what I knew. So, after assuring that the toilet was exceedingly clean, I flushed. I did use a tripod and shot in shutter priority...both outside of my norm. I also learned how to perform continuous burst shooting and played around with a halogen work light to adjust lighting. Then in PSE, I played with levels (on color...also new to me) and chrome filters, blue filters, and finally, a violet filter. The norm: adjust contrast, sharpness, and saturation. I applaud you splashers! It's been fun to see what you all presented! Maybe next time for me!
Part of a college assignment whereby we had to use objects to reflect ourselves - kind of an indirect self portrait
OK, so I'm doing this course on photography, hoping to take things back to basics and hopefully learn something. This is my image for assignment 2, which asks you to take an image of something from around your house in an artistic way. Not sure about how arty this is, but I like it. If you're interested, this is one of the ornamental elephants from the Elephant Parade charity.

6th New York Volunteer Cavalry Regiment
Ira Harris Guard
The 6th New York Cavalry was commanded at the Battle of Gettysburg by Major William Elliott Beardsley while Colonel Thomas Devin commanded the brigade, the 2d Brigade, 1st Division Cavalry Corps. Half the regiment was detached on various assignments: Company A was assigned to 3rd Corps HQ, Companies D & K to 2nd Corps HQ, Company L to the 1st Cavalry Division, 2nd Brigade Provost Guard, and Companies F & H were at Yorktown, Virginia.
The regiment brought 407 men to the field, picketing the west side of Gettysburg on June 30 and holding back Confederate infantry until relieved by the Union First Army Corps on July 1st. It then shifted east to cover the York Road, eventually retiring to south of town near the Peach Orchard on Emmitsburg Road. The 6th New York Cavalry lost one killed, three wounded and eight missing.
A little photo I took for the strobist theme, and while I'm less than pleased with it and therefore am going to make another one and another until I am satisfied I thought I'd share a bit of what came of that light setup I posted next to it.
