this is my submission for the second assignment for Strobist Bootcamp II. I'm a bit disapointed because i cannot seem to get the colors to come out right on the web.
I'm a complete novice at studio work and this was a major learning experience for me. It turned out to be much much more challenging than i had thought.
Strobist: 580EX II 1/2 camera left and behind, 430EX 1/16 camera right about level with the subject, gold reflector camera left, held by a voice activated stand (my son). Canon 30D with 17-85 lens 1/60 sec, F/16 (set up in my stream)

Shooting for a purpose
Jan 5th 2014
I must admit I thought the assignment wanted just the image (with no text) but I note all the others so far have text added - so I did!
The meaning is obvious, I hope. An Agency specialising in counselling services for those experiencing marriage or relationship problems.
On reflection I wish the crack was a bit narrower, but I hope the meaning is clear. :)
Two images. The bells and the cracked earth background showing through. Blended in PSE5 and text added there too.

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?

Active Assignment Weekly: Jan 18-25 "Details"
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!”
― T.S. Eliot, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats
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.

Strobist Info:
- 1 bare flash on model right
- gold reflector below
For this assignment I decided to go with colour instead of B&W since I wanted to incorporate gels into the equation. I thought the red adds that element of impending action about to take place...
Another light or a reflector could've helped to improved background separation. Next time...
Strobist: sb-24 snooted with gobo blinds and gobo of person silhouette 1/16 power hard left of camera with red gel; sb-80dx 1/32 power with grid spot, camera right and high.

For this series of images, I was with my friends working on a car. The first image shows my point of view, or a "straight-on" POV. The image in the middle shows a bug's POV because it was taken low to the ground, and shows a pile of bolts. The last image shows a bird's POV.

Active Assignment Weekly: Capture Your Country
I know Joe already went with this theme for America, but it's one of the first photos I took for this assignment but wasn't sure about it. Then I noticed some details I liked and decided to go for it. SOOC, except for a little clarity enhancement.
Assignment 52 -- My own favorite shots from 2013
(A shot which combines several techniques I've explored this year-- light painting, black backgrounds, & HDR. Different parts of vase & flowers & surface were illuminated in various shots & combined after experimenting with combinations.)
Assignment: Take a photograph capturing "preparation"
Restrictions: Must include a person or persons (may be just a hand or other small part)
Dare: Use either low key or high key to bump up the mood
This is a photo of my husband spicing up our ribs for dinner. He watched a show on using spices and learned that Allspice was good on meats. Converted to b/w in LR and added clarity, contrast and grain

Active Assignment Weekly: June 27 - July 4: Body Parts
Your assignment is to photograph body parts. Keep the props, or clothing to a minimum and really focus in on a body part. With that said PLEASE remember the group rules and keep it clean.
Dare: Make it abstract or hard to tell what part of the body you have chosen (please refrain from the cliche arm or leg crack made to look like a butt)
Restriction: No full face or full body shots, and as stated before no naughty areas.
WIT: Struggled with this one really. Finally lassoed a willing model, and as I was taking photos of the back of his neck, I saw this shot. We were both amazed at how freckled his fingers are as shown in the shot. Taken outside in evening cloudy light. Desaturated reds and added an inverted highpass filter with soft light blending after contrast and brightness adjustments. No cropping. I know it's grainy, but so is the owner of this fist.
