Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- The Write Inn & Hemmingway's Bistro, Oak Park, IL
Hemingway wrote: "Never go on trips with anyone you do not love," which seems like good advice, if traveling to Oak Park, or anywhere else.
I don't know what he thought about puns, or intentional misspellings, or if he would have wanted to try a flirtini martini. But I know what he wrote about oysters and about wine, so I'm sure he'd at least appreciate Hemmingway's wine list and oyster bar:
-- As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture...I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.
--Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things of the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.
And I think he must have had an appreciation of comfortable hotels also, as shown in this lovely passage:
--That night at the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling that we had come home, feeling no longer alone,waking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away, all other things were unreal.
Attempt at differential focus shot to join my other afternoon tea theme photo. No sunshine again so strugggling to match the lighting of the other scone shot but running out of time :L

Photo shoot we had for our advertising assignment.
The advertisement is to promote Marc Jacob's perfume, Lola.
The ropes were cutting my wrists like so many knives, but all I could think about was that damn bat, coming down on me relentlessly like the rain that had been pounding the city for what seemed like years. I had to find a way out...
Strobist info: 530EXII on-camera, pointed at ceiling at 1/4ish to illuminate the doorframe a bit, 430EX at 1/8ish on a boom with a lamp cord inside the room.
First "On Assignment" I've done. This is totally my normal Sunday night routine.
Strobist Lighting102 Assignment: Cooking. With a silver nutcracker, I placed on a pink plastic cutting board, and then used a green plastic cuttingboard as a reflector.
1 Flash, pointing straight at subject, radio trigger on a stand, camera right. 1/250 @ f/8
Odd sort of exercise, but effective. Will try this on my class tomorrow night. (and might try to improve my handwriting too - it seems to be suffering from lack of practice) ... - read more on {site_name}}: botheredbybees.posterous.com/assignment
This is Ricky, Lucy and Chewy. They were waiting outside the pharmacy for someone and looked so happy to be sitting in the setting sun, I had to ask them for a portrait.
This is the second day of homework from the Lighten Up And Shoot seminar at CreativeLIVE.

I chose to focus on getting close to my subject and finding patterns. This is a very large painting currently hanging in my apartment and this picture is only a very small portion of it. However, it fully represents what the rest of the painting is like.
Shot for Active Assignment Weekly 20-27 Mar 2017: Monochrome (not B&W)
"...take a photo in colour, and transform it into a monochrome, but NOT black-and-white. You can show us the original colour version too in the comment section of your photo, if you like.
Restriction: You cannot just take a picture that is one colour and use it as a monochrome for this assignment. The idea is to take a picture and transform it into a monochrome colour; otherwise it would just be a "mostly one colour" theme."
WIT: Plants at a local garden centre, converted to Black & White, then used Hue/Saturation and Colorize to bring back the green. Took me a long time to work out how to do this in Elements. Maybe there is a better way.
Assignment 52: Bicycles
I'm here in the Land of Mountain Biking. Unfortunately, the assignment didn't coincide with the semi-underground "Colorado Trail Race" nicknamed "Suffer Fest" which happened two weeks ago -- a 550 mi. race from Durango to Denver, with a 75,000 ft. of elevation gain, completely self-support -- no pit crews or aid stations. This is the 7th year -- said to be for folks of "selective memory." Last year the winner had a time of 3 days, 23 hours. Yes, they ride through the night. And some of them have hallucinatory experiences.
Anyway, the bicycle shot possibilities abound, & I had a hard time narrowing.
This is my 18th photo for an assignment at IADT in my Photography class. I decided to apply the Rule of Thirds to this composition. Also, I worked a lot with the Channel Mixer to create a color scheme that I believe is much more interesting than the original.

Oh well xD
Active Assignment Weekly: Capture the season
The Assignment: Capture a shot that represents the season you are NOW experiencing. What best represents the weather for the week of November 7-14? No setup shots or still-lifes. For example, don't show a doll in a bathing suit and say it's summer. These shots should be environmental. It's okay to have people in your photo.
WIT: At this point, we are finishing our raking and waiting for the snow to fly. Increased contrast and saturation.
Assignment 52: Black & White Photography
Mostly I'm reveling in all the colors of spring after a long grey winter here. But thinking of Weston, Cunningham, Mapplethorpe---why not try to take a white tulip?
Always the way. This morning, still trying to come up with shot, this evening have to narrow it down from over 100! *eye roll* I need to learn to not take so many photos. Now I have to choose...... feel free to nominate you fav :) Cheers!
This one is slightly out of focus I think(or I've had one too many wines), the breeze must have turned it just as I clicked.

This assignment for my photography class at IADT called for taking pictures of each of the letters of the alphabet wherever I could find them. Then, I was to crop each of them into a 2" square and arrange them on an 11" x 17" document. I thought the assignment was kind of silly at first. But, now I think it came out pretty cool. I might take some of these letters and spell something on another composition when I have time.

Active Assignment Weekly:
en•joy•ment
–noun
1. the act of enjoying.
2. the possession, use, or occupancy of anything with satisfaction or pleasure
3. a particular form or source of pleasure
I thought it might be nice to have a reasonably broad assignment this week so let’s all attempt to create a photograph that represents enjoyment. It could be absolutely anything that represents something you personally enjoy (permitted by the terms of the group of course!).
Restriction
The photo should convey something that you personally enjoy. So posting a photo of someone else enjoying an ice cream would be no good if you don’t also enjoy eating ice cream. Posting a photo of a pet or child playing would be fine as we can assume you enjoy playing with them. It might be nice to learn a little something that we may not already know about you from your photograph. :)
Dare
To make some kind of change to the shot during post processing that other members of the group may not be able to easily identify. Please indicate if you have taken on the dare when posting your photo so other members will know if they should try to guess what you have changed.
Examples
Please feel free to add any images which you think might help other members with inspiration.
WIT: There's something completely relaxing and satisfying in developing and printing silver geletin prints for me. That said, I really haven't done much lately. This took about an hour of cleaning out the darkroom and setting up trays and moving the light closer. I set up the tripod and took a few exposures on manual to find the right combination, then placed the photo in the tray and shot it with this combination (F/2.8, 0.5 sec exposure, ISO 800). CS4 curves for contrast which actually took out the timer in the foreground, cloned out a distracting reflection, slight rotation, sharpen, resize.
I did do one other step in post processing that I've been finding I like, though it isn't very obvious in this shot.
Ashley's assignment on ritual. Peyton and I switched speech patterns. (In the documentation, both Eric and Ashley interrupted us, so please ignore the middle bit).
Assignment 52 -- Painting with light
Visions of the Green Fairy were said to come to those who drank quantities. I haven't seen the Fairy yet myself. This light painting was done with the flame of a fireplace lighter.
