Depth of Field/Focus Assignment
I'm playing catch up on flickr tonight so I hope this works for the dof assignment for Studio 26, it's been a crazy 2 weeks and I sincerely apologize for not participating in the discussions this assignment.

Today, I was given the greatest treasure. My mother gave me my grandmother's Bible. I always remembered my grandmother being a spiritual person. I didn't realize how much until I saw her Bible. I have never seen a Bible so worn and studied in my life. She made the cross bookmark. This Bible is filled with her thoughts and verses that were important to her. Plus all kinds of poems and newspaper clippings she used as bookmarks. Not to mention the family history she recorded in it. I have a great start to researching my family tree. This book is so fagile and delicate. It means the world to me.
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:
Active Assignment Weekly: April 15-22, 2024, Simplicity. To me, simplicity means no distractions. 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).

I have the original printing of this (M2904, 1974), but some genius at Fawcett decided that a big black banner across the illustration would be just perfect ("The New Sam Durell Adventure").

For Assignment 2, we were focusing on the use of Long Exposure within existing light. I took several different images with long exposures in order to get light trails and afterimage effects. I did multiples different scenarios in order to see how they would be compared to each other and overall think it went okay for me. In this one my sister is sitting in a rocking chair and I tried to recreate a ghostly image. So my goal was to make a person seem transparent to the background and leave their afterimage. So my main inspiration for this image came from some of Francesca Woodman’s work. I was really trying to get the ethereal, ghostly figure being caught while rocking on a chair.
Active Weekly Assignment (Mar. 1-8, 2021) - "There is a number in my photo"
For this assignment, I wanted to find some numbers outside rather then arranging something at home. My girlfriend had the idea that the single spaces in parking decks are often numbered, so I made a tour through the different parking decks in my town (turns out only half of them actually have numbers).
There are only two numbers but at least they consist of six digits, I hope that counts :).
Post-processing: Apart from cropping and the obvious conversion to b&w I adjusted the brightness, mostly by playing around with the "filmic rgb" and "tone equalizer" modules of Darktable which I learned about just recently and are trying to master now.
I downloaded a new app to my ipad called Assignment. It has wonderful ideas to get me back to and motivated to shooting more often.
Nom nom nom? Anyways. I've always enjoyed grossing people out by obnoxiously eating with my mouth wide open. In my mouth are chocolate, crackers, frosted Mini-wheats, and Cheerios. Why not macro this and see the details of the chewed up food mixed with the saliva?

Rumpleteazer is one of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen. He has just as much spunk as when my mom saved him from the side of the road many years ago.
There is a color version of this in my photostream as well, but I thought the b&w highlighted the details a little more effectively for the AAW.
"And when you heard a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
Or down from the library came a loud ping
From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming
Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat?
It was Mungojerrie! And Rumpleteazer!"
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!”
