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:
These are all my past assignments, which were done during the time when I was doing my MSc degree at the Oxford Uni.
Can't carry them home, so, I'd rather store them here yeah?
If it's fall then there is not one girl that isn't wearing UGG boots. They're warm and fuzzy and very fashionable for fall.
Active Assignment Weekly: Break the Rules
First I used dead/wilting flowers, and underexposed them. I also tried to break the rules of composition by placing the "heaviest" object at the top of the frame, making it look upside-down (it isn't). Hardest of all for me, this is straight out of the camera, no cropping or anything. Used a low power speedlight camera left, snooted to prevent spill.
Unfortunately, the big, intact rose is right at the junction of thirds lines. Apparently, I can't break that many rules.

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.

This is my boy Alex and his wife Tara, happily married for eight years. Tara is from Florida but they live in Wales now with their fur baby Chloe, the crazy chocolate lab!
This low light assignment has been driving me bananas... In Wales most of our winter is low light so it is something I really need to learn to do much better.
(Alex is a photoshop fiend so this sooc will freak him out, hehe sorry Alex)

"Assignment - Outer Space" is a composite of a model spaceship from the London Science Museum and one of my deep sky astro images of the Pacman Nebula.
KPC special member, Mr. Bukhari, shoots the barren yet beautiful landscape at Hingol National Park, Pakistan's largest. This park contains some of the rarest animals and birds including Chinkara, Sind Ibex, many varieties of snakes, bustard, pelicans, leopoards, and many others. It is also the site of the most revered Hindu temple in the country, a sight of Hinglaj, which is nestled deep into the moutains.

For my birthday I recently received the book Learning To Love You More by Harrell Fletcher and Miranda July. It is a book of artistic assignments that you can turn to if your creative well has run dry and you would rather someone just tell you what to do. That in itself can be a particularly freeing experience.
The catalyst for this image is Assignment 55: Photograph a Significant Outfit. Although the exact instructions call for you to photograph what you were wearing during a significant moment in your life, I tend to think of these clothes as a time capsule which immediately teleports me back to 1978. Plus learning to do The Hustle just doesn't qualify as a significant moment! ;-)
To complete the ensemble you must visualize a few items that I've lost along the way:
1. Puka shell necklace
2. Brown patent leather boots (you know, the ones that zip up the side)
For those of you who weren't born yet (or still in diapers) in 1978, Jimmy Carter was president, the movie Saturday Night Fever was a box office smash, the Bee Gees dominated the pop air waves and everyone was deceived into thinking that John Travolta was an excellent dancer... I guess a some things never change!
Don't ask me why I still keep these clothes tucked away in the back of my closet. Even if I could lose enough weight to fit into them again, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them in public. I guess it's just something I bring out every few years to look at when I need a good laugh. Also, the great thing about polyester is that they look just as good today as they day I bought them!
These images are part of working on my diploma assignment, i hope you like! Please leaved feedback and suggestions!

WIT:
You don't have to comment on this photo, because I deleted the last one (that worm thing scared me after a while). But on a deeper level, I post things here sometimes for the wrong reason. This time I'm submitting it because I believe in it and don't care if anyone else wishes to validate it.
Right now I'm very stressed. I just became incorporated as a photography business and I'm applying for project grants to show in galleries. The gallery owners are all about money and product, and so I've been really trapped in this. My mission is to provoke storytelling in my community with the photos I create. Storytelling that provokes thought and opens minds to new ideas.
Then I saw this star flower on the ground. Lately I've been finding a lot of things on the ground, and think these things are sometimes very important. This flower is in a glass by my computer to remind me of what's important. I love all the submissions this week and always look forward to seeing what you all produce, and I'm also so amazed at how confident most of you are.
This is SOOC, except for a crop and a slight alteration in white balance.

This girl was sitting on the pavement outside our office all day. Sometimes she took a photo and sometimes she made notes.
Eventually I gave in and asked what was going on. Apparently she is a student at the media studies centre (or whatever the old printers' college at Elephant & Castle is called now) and was on an assignment.
Everyone in the class was given a different location where they had to go and stay for 5 hours "soaking up the atmosphere" and observing. I could not work out exactly what the end result of all this was to be, except possibly lung disease from 5 hours of soaking up exhaust fumes.
So... if anyone else in Lambeth/Southwark spotted a lonely figure hanging around the same spot all day today, it could well have been another media studies student.
Match hues in one of your paintings and place them on a grid with those in the center vertical row being the most important.
The Mayan City of Chichen Itza is well-known by its pyramids and temples. In the 7th century it became in a Center of Arts and Sciences. However, a recent study of human remains taken from the ruins found that they had wounds consistent with human sacrifice.

Assignment 52 -- Bokeh -- my first experiment with shaped bokeh
I'd never done anything like this before, & did a lot of fooling around to get the right-sized stencil for my lens opening before anything worked at all. It was interesting to me, though, as it helped me understand more about aperture & light. I think I also made this more challenging for my initial attempt by choosing a complex shape, harder to make come out recognizably.

Active Assignment Weekly Feb. 11 - 18: The Colour of Beauty
WIT: This is my jewelry tree, upon which hangs only a small fraction of my earrings. In order to hang all my earrings up, I would need a jewelry forest, I'm afraid! I set it on one of my favourite scarves, as I was going for an "antique" colour palette. The light came from the window, which reflected well on the white branches of the tree, since there wasn't that much light coming in, as you can see by the darker background. In post, adjusted the colours just a little, and cropped to 8 by 10.
