I really struggled with PhotoShop, as my laptop crashes constantly when I use it, but I wanted to submit something. I'll keep working on it until it's how I want it.

Assignment: PCA31- Play

Deadline: June 29

Image Tag: pca31

From: Cynthia

 

Mission:

Everyone loves to play. Even adults. Here is your chance to get out and play. Surround yourself with people having fun for inspiration. Let loose. Kids are really good for inspiring one’s sense of playfulness and fun. Now, it doesn’t have to be a certain way. Remember, be creative, adventurous, but most importantly, get out and play.

  

WIT: well besides alot of reading up, playing about and above all grovelling to the wife i took the plunge and upgraded to a DSlr, so from here on in most of my assignment shots will be taken with my new toy, after all adults like to play too :-))

 

New camera laid out on black background with various shots taken then into photoshop to add the text and burn out a few blown areas. This was the only real shot i managed ths week for the assgnment due to reading the rather large manual for the new camera.

So, first assignment on the Strobist L102 Class...

Set up an object and move the light around to see how it "hits" the object.

Assignment 52: One dominant color

Done for Photography Critique Assignments. Subject: Low Key

 

What it Took: I have usually preferred full tonal pictures and have never before attempted a low key photo (on purpose) . So I view some of the examples and the tutorials and went to work

 

A single light source. Why not my computer which my wife claims sees my face more than she does And if the computer why not "Photography Critique Assignments"?

 

I set the tripod very close to me and used a wide angle lens. The lens was not more than 18 inches from the back of my head. I turned of the lights in the room. I set the camera on Aperture priority and the EV compensation to -1.0.

 

I used a tripod and the self-timer. I had used this self-timer so infrequently in the past that it took me a dozen tries to get it figured out.

 

On the computer I removed some extraneous light coming in from the left of the computer and adjusted the curves. The computer screen still looked to bright so I isolated in and adjusted the levels selectively. I had to also add some brightness and contrast to my head.

Years ago, on a hike through Eastern Oregon's Strawberry Mountains, the woman leading our little group of (not very fit and kinda scared) hikers taught us a little song:

 

"Be careful what you lean on/It may not hold you up/Or lean freely/And be prepared to make an art of falling."

 

Most of my adult life, I've made an art of jumping off figurative cliffs without a parachute.

 

I've quit jobs - and entire careers - without any idea what would come next. I've moved halfway across a continent to pursue a new opportunity that scared the hell out of me. I've dived into chances for love without knowing whether there would be any future in it, and lived through the consequences, even when they ripped my heart apart.

 

And now, standing on the brink of old age, not knowing what the future may bring ... I can honestly say I don't regret a thing.

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.

I have submited these shots for my NYIP Unit 3, Assignment 4: 45° lighting.

The assignment was simple enough, create a tabletop still life and light from 45° to either side. For the second image, bring in a reflector. These were to be done with either natural window light or tungsten.

I think these meet the benchmark.

What do you think?

 

The set-up: In the first and second shot I used my trusty Norman Tri-light (modeling lamp only) as a "hot light" and set it up on at the camera left position. I then adjusted the light to give a spot-light appearance. I wanted to emphasise the texture of the cakes, while showing the moist, melted chocolate chips they embed into the divine cake. For the second shot I added a bounce reflector to camera right, just out of frame. I also (cheating?) introduced a mirrored bounce behind the subjects to "kick" some of that light onto the backside of the front cake and somewhat sidelight the back cakes.

I was thinking I might submit them in this diptych layout, since I'll never use the one without bounce...

well, never say never, would make a good illustration on the importance of bounce!

 

The small cakes that carry the name, along with the ever posh US bakery and restaurant built by Chef Thomas Keller, not the typical Bouchonstyle of French eatery.

 

These tiny cakes are luscious, and the reason my every visit to Napa and/or Harbin HS generally includes a side trip to Yountville, CA.

I don’t know how these simple ingredients can be assembled to create these decadent delights, but somehow they manage… and I am blessed every time I have the chance to experience the bliss induced when I taste one of these sweet morsels.

Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- Ernest Hemingway Birthplace, 339 N. Oak Park Ave., Oak Park, IL

 

Oak Parkers are very proud of their native son, Ernest Hemingway. They're even proud of his famously derisive description of the village as "a neighborhood of wide lawns and narrow minds." I suppose that's because they think they've changed.

 

The Hemingway Foundation provides tours of the birthplace house, lovingly restored to Victorian splendor, with amazing attention to the accuracy of details gleaned from such hints as scraps of wallpaper and descriptions by Hemingway's sister Marcelline. The Foundation also maintains a museum a block away, with photos and artifacts. I do have to wonder what Hemingway might have to say about the fervency of his local admirers. He certainly said many irreverent, puncturing things, though he also said things that feed right into the Mythologizing of the Great Macho Writer (who did not care for his first name, by the way, because of the Oscar Wilde title).

 

Here are a few Hemingway quotes that resonate with me, while wandering the leafy, wide-lawned streets, on my brief ad hoc literary appreciation & walking tour:

 

--All stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is not a true-story teller who would keep that from you.

-- There isn't any symbolism. The sea is the sea. the old man is an old man. The boy is a boy and the fish is a fish. The shark is all sharks, no better and no worse. All the symbolism that people say is shit. What goes beyond is what you see beyond when you know.

-- The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.

Assignment 52: "Fine Art" -- Think about what would you might hang on your wall

 

This was a very interesting question to think about, particularly since I'm likely to be consolidating the art that now hangs in two houses into one house -- the house that's mostly windows. I didn't really come up with any useful answers, but enjoyed trying to define what aspects make me want to keep looking at an image, even on a daily basis, & what I prefer, as far as effect on my mood & outlook from the things that surround me.

The light in this one is so serene -- I'm sure it would make me happy if it hung on my wall. Though I think I do prefer a little more edginess for things I'd keep on the wall.

Assignment 52: From a chosen place, take photographs only of subjects that happen to be within a 5 meter (15ft) radius. This exercise forces you to really look at things and work to compose interesting images

 

I tried this from several different places. A link to my others:

Active Assignment Weekly - Surrealism.

 

Wow - this is a tough assignment as I can't do double exposure with my camera, and I don't have Photoshop or any such fancy thing. So, I have played about with what I have.

 

WIT:

I took some shots of my hand in front of the TV screen during whatever happened to be on - it was a movie of some sort. I had to go with what came up. Then, in PP I used the Polar Co-ordinates application.

  

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:
