I've now moved on from DPS assignments(more's the pity) You can follow my blog as I explore New Zealand here-
Believe me, this was way harder to achieve than it looks. I had to do two trips to the beach as I just could not get the angles right on the first day. The angles of the vertical lines changed depending on how far the camera was from the box, what the POV angle was and how wide I had my lens, and not being able to clearly see my screen on my camera didn't help either. I had to enlist Mr FKG to help me draw it today, it took over an hour to get it right(and it could have still done with some tweaking) but we were running out of light.
"Best of the Year 2012"- Sand Box
This was orignally submitted for the Forced Perspective assignment. I chose this shot for my "Best of Year" mainly because of the planning and the time & effort that went into creating it which included two visits to the beach (as I just couldn't get the angles right the first time). While it might look simple enough it was a tough challenge to draw, I had to draw around 10 large "boxes" before I finally got the right perspective.
A pretty complicated setup for a relatively plain shot. This week's submission for the next 102 assignment, the concept being 'going green'. Seeing as we are going through a phase of 'grow your own' at home, I thought that a shot symbolising this would be in order. However, I didn't bank on the unfeasibly good weather that we have for the last two days. This is great for the suntan and the bbq skills, but less so for the strobist fun, as it's far too bright to take any outdoor shots during the day.
By the time the evening comes bringing more appealing light, I've generally had a glass or two of vino (especially as there was a certain sports game this afternoon that shall not be mentioned); and I can't get my head around the finer points of subtle lighting after booze.
Strobist: SB28 in snoot rear and camera right, providing the hard directional light on the right hand side of the 'hill'. A silver 'tin foil' reflector slightly above the camera angled down to provide the main fill on the shot. Two tricky bits:
i) I had to gobo the bare light with a) my laptop (makes a good flag) and b) a bit of gaffer tape stuck to my laptop, in order to prevent nuking the stem and leaf.
ii) it was tricky to get the reflected light to hit 'just' where I wanted it, so I stuck a torch (flashlight) on top of the strobe to get an idea of what the light was doing.
Assignment 52: Represent your own brand of holiday madness during this busy & festive season.
So here is Po, no more pleased to be posing with Christmas tree lights than she was the first time around, despite the caption I chose for the cards. Call it irony if you wish -- can't every holiday use some? Po actually is quite a joyful dog, & always well-rewarded for posing! (And I'm joyful that I managed to get cards printed this year! Now to start mailing---)

Here is some characterful in-situ concrete adorning the Bedford Way façade of Logan Hall, UCL, in the Bloomsbury district of London. Notice the detailing left behind after the wooden shuttering - into which the concrete was poured - was removed. Photographed on Tuesday 17th August 2021.
Logan Hall was designed by Sir Denys Lasdun and opened in 1977. It was subsequently awarded a Grade II* listing.

These five photographs show my love of travel and adventure. I would take both my memories of Norway, where my husband was born and of Japan where I have dear friends with me on my journey. It is appropriate in a way with my wonderful but different experiences of these two countries echo this assignment. My experience of Norway is of being foreign and coming to feel at home. I have learned to speak the language and identify with this small community-centered culture. I love Norwegian food and customs. Could I ever feel at home like this on my new distant planet? Perhaps that is where Japan comes in. I have visited three times and enjoy the energy of the cities and the beauty of the countryside. I have dear friends here, but I will never feel at home. I come to accept that I will never fully understand what is happening or what the customs are before I do something not quite right. I simple apologize a great deal and enjoy the unexpected nature of every interaction. I sense that perhaps my experience on my new planet might be more like this - - never again at home and always trying to understand but enjoying the challenge.
My favorite two are the "View toward the Vega Archipelago" and "Buddha and Monk, Nara, Japan" Each of these photographs expresses my need for contemplation both in nature and in sacred places. They would be comforting in the journey away from all I know and love.
Lydie's assignment 29. Movie poster. Rather plain, not as cool as I pictured it. May redo the whole thing with a new concept if I find the time. Then again, I always say that.
And yes. Again, just some simple simple frankensteining, then the mask and some shading. I'm a horrible slacker...

Assignment 52 - Silhouettes
I'm fortunate to be in Georgia this week for this assignment, with fabulous light & horizons for silhouette shots. Since this is a trip to visit Po's son, Hibou, at the field trial pro's where he's in training, I'm indulging in a bunch of dog silhouettes. Here's yet another:

I went to the beach tonight with my tripod and took numerous photos of people in motion. I liked this one the best. Black and white conversion with blue filter.

I decided to use two of the many different techniques available to achieve this - fill the frame ("After the Rain") and negative space ("Beach Time"). Both photos were taken at Point Pelee National Park, Ontario. You'll be seeing a lot of pictures from this park, as I am here for two months (it is a bird migration hotspot).

Assignment 52: Rainbow's End, in tribute to Frederick Rohde VI, brother of Mama Rhodes
Recalling that theory about the immutability of molecules, how the form may change, but the energy continues, & the journey. (Also borrowing Ann's idea of combining assignments to make up a previous missed one.)
This photo shows something amazing that happened while I was playing with bubbles:
