Assignment: PCA59 – Abandoned Structures
Deadline: March 22, 2009
Image Tag: pca59
From: fotobird1
Mission: Find things that have been abandoned,........buildings, cars, roads, rooms etc. No restrictions on your subject (as long as it is not a person or animal), just that your image should really convey the feeling of abandonment.
WIT What it Took: With me being new into Dubai, not having a car and not knowing where to look for abandoned structures I decided to check this building which I know was being demolished, and enjoy a walk through the beach with the family.
This is a shot taken from the beach very close to the JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residences) and just behind "The Walk".
I am not entirely sure, but a friend told me this was a less than 10 years old hotel, which is now being demolished in order to build a new one.
Not my best submission, but bear with me, I'll get my head around the city and start giving you a flavour of Dubai and the Middle East.
I only darkened a bit the top, spot cleaned, cropped in tighter and increase the saturation a bit in Lightroom. I wish I had more space on the right but there is another building there. Also I didn't have the time to correct the perspective, a quick and dirty.

Strobist Lighting102 Assignment: Cooking. With a chrome nutcracker, I placed on a pink plastic cutting board, and then used a green plastic cuttingboard as a reflector.
1 Flash, bounced off white ceiling, 1/2 power, radio trigger on a stand, camera right. 1/250 @ f/5.6
We're at the end of the workshop. Needed to bring in some of the elements you learned but have a story telling image at the same time. It's been fun and I'm grateful for this sweet girl who has helped me a lot! You will be seeing more of her...I have 3 more images I have to pick :)
Product Lighting/Custom Color Printing joint assignment:
using fruits and/or vegtables of your choosing created two 8x10 color prints, one demonstrating saturated colors, and one demonstrating desaturated color(s).
This is my saturated image.
taken with: Mamiya C220 on Kodak Portra 160NC.
scanned full frame on an Imacrom mulit-format drum film scanner.
Active Assignment Weekly: Wheels
I did a slow exposure to get my office chair wheels in action. Took lots of practice. In post process, I played a little with levels and saturation.
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.

I love my 50mm lens, at least at the moment, we had a few teething problems and still have our moments
The assignment of the week: Rule of Thirds. I got excited and went straight away to demonstrate an example. Sorry for being so sudden about it XD.
Minimum photos to submit: 1
Maximum photos to submit: 5
Last date for submissions: 1/22/2010 (Next Friday)
Resolution should not exceed 600pxl on the longest side (horizontal or vertical)
Heavy post processing will disqualify the submissions. Only contrast adjustments and cropping allowed.
This is what I can think of right now. I'll try to give it more thoughts later and update the rules and other related stuff to make it better. Now I have to study to make up for the time I lost preparing all of this >_<

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.
July 2009 - The third of six writing assignments this month.
I comment about my life and opinions in my eJournal and images every single day.
The setup on this shot is as follows:
A single flash, to camera right from a distance of about 15 inches from the egg separator. Shot through a "gel" (Ok not really a gel, but a bottle of Dawn dish detergent about 1 inch off the flash face) on each side of the utensil, and just over are sheets of white copy paper (so, three in all) to catch the white light that escaped around the "gel" and reflect back on the separator.
I tried to give the illusion of a multi-light setup using a single flash.
Assignment: PCA03 - Isolated Subject
Deadline: October 1st, 2007
Mission:
Show us an isolated subject. Razor sharp focus on the subject, and completely blurred to annihilation backgrounds. This can be accomplished by using a wide aperture and having a distant background. If using a less sophisticated camera, try using the portrait mode or macro mode. If you cannot get the background out of focus, then choose a featureless background.
I took a lot of pictures for this assignment and I think I liked the ones of this fence the least, but it is the only one where one subject is in razor sharp focus. All my others ones suffer from soft or blurry edges on the main subject. I did some post-processing work on this photo: cropping and trying to dodge out the bright white spot in the middle of the photo. It sort of worked. I still think it is too bright in comparison to the rest of the background, but any darker and it started to look strange.

Assignment trial shot for Light 102 Umbrella Specular.
I was surprised at the difficulty in the set up. Small changes made a big difference when I was trying to get a halo on old St Nick. This is a 30 inch Santa with a hand carved wood face.
Single white shoot thru umbrella with two SB800's paired into it. Camera D70 with 17-55 lens. CLS used to fire speedlights set on manual 1/8 power. Camera at 1/60 f5.6. White wall about 5 feet to camera left gave slight fill with the shadows.
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! :)
I used a Slow shutter speed and an ISO of 400 so you could actually see me sitting, so Sophie could draw the wings. We had Mandi press the button.
Amid the morning sun, a bumblebee hovers over a vibrant flower. Drawn to the bloom's nectar, it pauses at the edge of delicate petals—a boundary, visible yet inviting. The flower, open and ready, offers sweetness to the bee, yet remains firmly rooted in place, respecting its own boundaries by standing still, waiting. The bee dips closer, knowing its role in the exchange, careful not to take too much, to disrupt the gentle petals. Each understands an unspoken limit, a balanced dance between need and offering. In this moment, boundaries become bridges, creating harmony between giver and receiver.
