Wandered around downtown Fort Lauderdale with a new lens (and my first prime). I'm enjoying the 33mm 1.4 but it'll take some time to get used to..
Assignment 7 - Shoot in A, S, and M Modes.
This was shot in Shutter Priority Mode so I could lock in the long exposure time needed to capture the car lights as a blur.
I ended up changing the Shutter speed a lot before I was able t find what would work for this environment. To short and the cars ended up frozen. To long and everything got very confusing as to many cars came by. In this case 3-4 seconds seemed to work well
This is an illustration from Isabelle Arsenault. I’m kind of in love with it… and may go as far to say it’s my favorite illustration. The piece is filled with charming details, such as the fox’s crooked smile, the big-eyed birds, the quirky trees, etc. More than anything, it’s the way Arsenault illustrated her characters that charms me most. The fox is so joyful with his nose hiked up in the air and his paw outstretched. The girl, too, is joyful, which is made clear by the way she’s smiling up at the birds and walking so carefree. Even the trees, in their goofy postures, seem like overjoyed characters.
I really admire the thoughtful layering of detail. I love how some parts have almost no details at all, such as a bird consisting of only an outline and one colored wing, and how others parts are filled with details, such as in trees’ leaves. In the garden at the bottom, Arsenault made the thoughtful choice of only coloring a few plants on the left. Had she colored them all, viewers would become distracted by the garden, and would have more difficulty enjoying the more important parts, such as the girl, fox, and trees.
Color, too, is used wonderfully here. The hot pinks, oranges, and reds make the illustration feel warm and inviting. The cool blues, purples, and grays keep it from being too overwhelmed with bright colors. Also, they help make those brighter areas pop.
When I view this illustration, I think of child-like wonder. The girl stares up at the birds with such wonder and happiness. The birds could definitely work as a symbol for freedom. Also, there seems to be a celebration of nature in this piece. The girl has walked away from the city she lived in and is now entering a place of nature.
Arsenault’s work is highly stylized, which I think works in this illustration’s favor. All of her quirky decisions give the piece a whimsical and child-like mood. The girl seems to be discovering things on her walk, which is enhanced by how Arsenault has many details in places and little details in other places. Although it’s not the most technically brilliant illustration out there, it does convey a beautiful sense of color, thoughtful layering of detail, and a charming style.
OK, so what can you _actually_ do with a pair of knives to make them interesting? I'm not sure, but here is my attempt. Maybe next time I will use the Bojangle's Box afterall :-)

Sorry about the poor quality, it's a screenshot from a webcam. This is from one of my university assignments dealing with augmented reality. The program we are using tracks markers and places an object on them in 3D space, so in reality we can't see those objects on the markers, but they are displayed on the screen exactly how it is presented in this photo. These objects are part of a demo, we didn't make them ourselves.

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.
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.

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 >_<

Late morning sun behind.
Umbrella'd SB-80 at camera right.
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.
Cooking Light Assignment Attempt 1. I'm attempting to play with a negative look for this, with only highlights revealing the form of the subject. I like the way the blue plays off of the scoop, though I'm not overly pleased with the overall composition. I'll probably try again soon, possibly with a different subject in a similar setup.
Strobist: 1 LP180 camera left, full power to blow out background. 1 LP180 High camera right 1/4 power gelled blue for highlights.
