for this week theme your photographic eye should look for something "artificial".
No restriction, just be creative and have fun.
How about some artificial sweetener?
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.
For this assignment, I volunteered to photograph the support staff and volunteers at my son’s elementary school for the year book. This is Brenda, the crossing guard helping two students cross the street on Halloween. Over the next month or so I have 30 more to do.

Late morning sun behind.

Money's tight right now, but her mom really wanted photos of Bella. There were happy ones, but this one is my fave of the Balance shots from this series, and was much more characteristic of Bella's mood on this morning.

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.

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.
Practice Day #11: This is my final week in PPSOP, and these are pictures that I submitted as my final assignment. Found these alphabet jellies in the market one day. Wasn't sure what to do with it, but I just thought it was interesting. And then I came up with the idea of lining them up in a tall glass (a quite tricky job!), together with ordinary white jelly balls.

this is a photo of the second part of a photo class assignment i had to present this week. for the assignment we were to make a walk and then also make an intervention of some sort in the environment. for inspiration we were introduced to the work of Richard Long and other walking artists.
for my walk and intervention i went to our property on the north end of Vancouver Island. a few weeks ago there was a landslide in the area and the land mass on the edge of our property and to the south of it underwent a drastic change. i don't have before photographs but a creek that could hardly be seen because of forest and thick undergrowth was now a 100 ft wide open area with trees down everywhere. a pullout between the road and the ocean that could easily fit 5 trucks was now completely gone.
i walked and took photographs of the landslide clean up and then went into the forest nearby and cleared a small area, set out bowls, filled them with earth and pine cones and then lit incense. then i took the bowls of ashes and earth down to the creek and submerged them in the creek.
i've posted each of the photos in this work on my website here
My first assignment as a newspaper photographer was to shoot the grand opening of an Ethan Allen furniture store. I could not capture the image I wanted because at that time, I only had a 200mm telephoto lens and a 50mm normal lens. A chaperone mirror helped me get the wide-angle subject coverage I needed.
I was pleased that my city editor was pleased with my image.
I immediately invested in a wide-angle lens.
This image was shot on Kodak Tri-X with a 50mm lens on a Miranda Sensorex 35mm SLR in the summer of 1968.
Strobist: desk lamp camera left, sb-28, snooted and gelled with a 1/2 CTO - camera right, above and behind subject.
IMO, it's not quite controlled enough for the assignment, but what the hey...
Didn't realize I was shooting at ISO 640 until I had taken down the setup, which accounts for the noise.
Near and dear to my heart, my little boy Wedgie the hedgehog. Also incorporated a colorful background, I love colorful things. I think this is a very appropriate reflection of my relaxation time.
Take a well-known kids book and recast it as a computer book. Look for inspiration here:

With apologies to Mo Willems ...his Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus book cover has been transformed to a 'computer' book with a little imagination and some posting manipulation. Twitter bird attributed to Shawn Rossi
Pretty sloppy on execution of this one due to time and effort - just did in PP and then downloaded as a jpeg. So the shape to over the original wording didn't match the background and picked up some lines from somewhere?? (though then I saw a potential Post It note and considered tinting it a light yellow for the post - LOL). As well, the font doesn't exactly match, but pretty close. I remember finding the twitter bird created as a CC image for another preso and thought it would be a good addition...just in case it seemed to 'real' - tee hee! :)

So, first assignment on the Strobist L102 Class...
Set up an object and move the light around to see how it "hits" the object.
Link to the post.

Experimenting for the assignment with the outdoors and thought I would do something different. I'm really just learning how to manipulate f/stop and shutter speed to take the picture that I want to and this assignment taught me a lot about the different ratios.
My new guitar...
I took this picture just to show off my new guitar. I also wanted to play around with a 'light thru the blinds' shot that I saw in a lot of the 'noir' submissions from the Lighting 102 assignment. After seeing the finished shot it occurred to me that it might make a reasonable submission for the 'Cross, Balanace, Sculpt' assignment as well... although I've got more Balance and Sculpt than Cross... but oh well :)
Strobist info: Metz 45 outside shooting in thru the blinds at 1/4 power. Viv 285hv camera left (almost even with subject) shooting at 1/2 power thru a Rogue grid (25 degrees).
So here's something fun for everyone to do, should be quick and easy, but try to make it pretty.
- First, go here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The title of the article is now the name of your band.
- Next, go here: www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 Go to the bottom of the page. The last four to five words of the last quote are the title of your first album
- Lastly, go here: www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days Select the 3rd image. It is the picture for your album cover. Manipulate the picture, resize it, add some other color, whatever. Do the same with the band name and album title, put them over top. However you wanna do it. Make it look cool.
-----------------------------------
- My wikipedia draw led me to the Oyi page
- The quote (from the last three words - I modified!) is from Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
"People need to be reminded more often than they need to be instructed."
- Unfortunately, the Flickr Interesting photo I originally landed on was not Creative Commons licensed, so I did an advanced search with CC license allowing modification with the search term, 'interestingness' and ended on this photo, Smouldering Heart of the Blues, by Evan Leeson.
Using www.lunapic.com LunaPic, I used color changer to modify some of the blues to purple and added the text, Oyi, using NightSky font and the text, to be instructed, using the AirConditioner font.
Fun, easy, and 'instructional' (for new editing features)! Using creative tools with limited elements was a great start - gets one beyond the 'how to I start' anxiety that many experience when asked to be 'creative'. :)
1-3-5 the perfect numbers to balance out a picture. Room at the top and bottom for a banner. More room above for additional copy.
Assignment #2 is all about contrast and complementary colors. This painting is a split complementary scheme. I chose the complements of orange and blue, and then used the blue green and blue purple analogous colors. I was so sick of using a fixed color palette at this point that I just threw this together. It's way to coloring book-ish for me, but I love the subject matter, so I guess it has some merit.

Alta Gracia, Dominican Republic
Workers at the Alta Gracia factory, set up as a "fair wage" factory recently by Knights Apparel, which is one of the largest suppliers of t-shirts and sweatshirts to colleges in the US. This factory is paying workers a living wage, about 3.5 times more than they are paid in other factories clothing factories in the DR.
The clothes are sold at a slightly higher price with tags explaining to customers that Alta Gracia (also the name of the clothing line) pays the workers more.
