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: Halogen reading light lying on the bed.. F/2.8, 1/20 sec. ISO 1600. CS4 curves for high contrast, vibrance reduction, dark blue filter to take out some of the bright orange-ness, noise reduction, gaussian blur, resize. View on black..

 

Active Assignment Weekly - Motion Blur.

 

Well I choose this assignment because I needed practice and wow... Throughout the week i tried to improve on my technique and abilities but a week was not long enough, lol...

This is my 13 year old, rescued Xolo. After being in a cage her whole life, this girl loves to RUN!

 

I truly appreciate suggestions and critiques.as i really struggled with my settings on this assignment.

 

WIT: Slowing down my shutter and playing around with ISO and Aperture due to a dark cloudy day. In PP - i boosted the lighting and the shadows.

This assignment was fun and allowed for more creativity. My original plan was to try and make the bottle blend into the ski lift tower. However, the lighting at the top of the mountain didn't allow for me to set this angle up (too much lens flare). Instead I looked for good lighting and set up my bottle and flash.

 

This photo was shot during sunset on top of Bolton Valley in Vermont. I used a long lens 70-200 to help blur the background to a nice blend of colors. I then placed my flash on the ground (right hand side of the bottle) and laid flat on the ground to take this photo.

 

Here are the specs for my photo:

1/350s @2.8

ISO 200

Focal Length 108mm

No tripod

1 Off camera Flash (Canon 550EX)

Active Assignment Weekly: Sept 13- Sept 20: Bokeh

Texas Tongs says:

Okay, this week, get ready to crank up your aperture and compose a nice Bokeh photograph.

 

In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light.

 

Restriction: No blurring using post processing techniques, bokeh should come right out of the lens.

 

WIT: These are the seed heads of some decorative grasses that we have growing in the back yard. I found that when trying photograph these that there is a distinct correlation between focusing and the breeze blowing. For post processing I cropped, sharpened, and did a little buring along the length of the grasses.

Active Assignment Weekly - June 13 - 20: Tickle the Funnybone

Assignment:

Take a picture that is humorous - let's have a laugh this week.

 

Restriction: No humans or parts of humans are allowed in the picture.

 

Dare: Create an image that doesn't require a caption to be funny.

 

WIT:

I think the title says it all here, but one never knows. I hope there are many reasons to laugh at this, and if not, oink oink.

I shot this outside a favorite joint of mine this morning, hoping I'd find the perfect spot for this pair. I've used them once for a photo, but the results weren't that great.

In PP: I just adjusted the curves, then bent the green and red curves a bit for a lomo look.

Assignment-2

Environmental portraits

Active Assignment Weekly:

 

Assignment:

 

Capture some good old trash and then turn it into photographic treasure.

In other words, capture something trashy that looks really cool after you've photographed and processed it. (Joe, this does not mean a picture of yourself.)

 

Dare: Trash you find somewhere other than in your own garbage or house.

 

Restriction: Garbage cans, recycling bins, or other receptacles cannot appear in the photo.

 

I know that Vik Muniz would be a good source of inspiration. www.wastelandmovie.com/gallery.html

Here's a good group: www.flickr.com/groups/trash-art/

 

WIT: Way more processed than I would usually do, BUT - I felt that's what Paul was driving at. We were working in the yard today and I found this crushed water bottle in the sidewalk. We live on a main thoroughfare and we are constantly picking up garbage that people throw out of their cars. Anyway, my first assignment with my new K-5!: F/8.0, 1/200 sec, ISO 800 (cloudy day). RAW conversion and CS4 adjustment to curves for contrast, upped the vibrance, solarization down to 69%, added 40% cooling filter, increased the brightness, added 16% posterization, noise reduction, resize, final sharpening.

Assignment 52 ~ 322012

SHADOW PLAY

Strobist info: Inside lights are CFL overhead camera right, tungsten backlight, and a halogen behind aimed at the model, flash is bare Yongnuo YN560-II outside through blinds camera left fired with Yongnuo RF-603 transceivers. I wasn't worried about white balance since it would be converted to B&W.

essay....essay.... According to these books, can you guess which topic i need write?............................................."team and teamwork"

I used my plug in the wall candle warmer for this assignment!

Assignment: ISO: For this photo, I used a low number which allowed more light to come into my picture.

Assignment-2: Environmental Portrait of a Women(best chief)

She is world best chief, always trying to serve a good food.

Assignment 52 -- Freeze action

(I think the blur of gun & shell is blurred focus, rather than motion blur. Such an unexpected sort of shot, I'm going with it.)

My mom painted this ship in roiling water. She was older when she did this. While raising 7 daughters there was little time when she was younger. Years earlier, she had given me a lovely oil paint set in a wooden case. Although I loved water painting and pen and ink, I never took to the oil paint. When she finally had some time at her disposal, she found the paints I had left at home. I guess she had always liked the idea herself as she took it up. She loved it and painted pictures for all of us, even when she started going blind from diabetes, she kept it up as well as she could. It does not seem as though she knew about rule of thirds, or horizon lines, but she loved painting and she loved her family!! This is a tribute to my wonderful artistic mother, whom I shall always remember with a deep and abiding love.

Active Assignment Weekly 19-26 Feb 2018: Doors and Windows

 

Spec: capture a window and/or a door (or a part of a window and/or door). Restriction: Avoid getting yourself in the reflection, if there is one. Dare: Submit two photos this week--one of a window and one of a door, or submit a photo that has both.

 

This is my not quite so glamorous security door (cf Peter's Dutch photo) taken early evening as the sun is going down.

 

WIT: straightened verticals, cropped to focus on the door and it's shadow, played with contrast and saturation in Colour Efex Pro.

Picture doesn't tell me ANYTHING!

That's why I am here :-)

I often buy stamps at this automat at the train station.

Unfortunately it does not display how much to pay for sending printed papers.

I end up overpaying or not sending books at all. This is definitely information that i routinely wish i had.

I placed a sticker on its side showing the postage prices, including size and weight (and how many books that would be).

 

First attempt at the Film Noir assignment from the Lighting 102 series.

YN-565EX at 1/16 power, slightly camera left, fired up and through the blinds.

SB-600 at 1/4 power with a homemade grid spot up 8+ ft high, camera right, angled down at faces.

On camera flash used as fill (1/8 power) and used to trigger both slaves.

Active Assignment Weekly Challenge - Pets

 

I had intended to take a photo of my dogs, but saw this one on the way to work, and quickly took the snap on my i-Phone. I cropped the photo using the Photoshop application on my phone, along with some minor adjustment (less shadows, more contrast).

Active Assignment Weekly: Stairs.

The assignment is to capture stairs.

Dare: try to capture feet as they travel on the stairs.

Don't: no folding stairs

 

Most residential buildings here (Lusaka, Zambia) are single-storey, so no stairs there. But there are lots of unfinished commercial buildings like this one that are started and then grind to a halt. I wondered why the second step was so large?

 

WIT: asking the guard to let me take the picture, persuading the foreman a few minutes later that I had permission from the guard; straight from camera, no crop or PP
