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: 26 Feb - 5 Mar 2018: Old Photographs
Assignment: Create an "old" photograph. Subject matter is up to you--portraits, architecture, landscape--whatever you like, as long as the finished product looks like a photo that was taken many years ago. How many years ago is up to you, but let's say anything from the 1970's back to the dawn of photography.
Dare:
Be creative with how you go about aging your photo. If you don't have access to an editing program, or even if you're just feeling adventurous, try some non-computer-based "post processing."
Restriction :
No plain B&W - your photo must somehow include colour ( think sepia, yellowed with age, stains, "re-coloured" etc.) Watch out for things that don't belong; for example, a 1920's portrait where the subject is wearing a digital watch.
WIT: The gardens where I work, used Colour Efex Pro to apply an old camera style which yellowed the photo, and added a border. Looks old to me as it reminds me of the poorer composition skills I had in the 1970's!
As we announced yesterday, our new assignment reflects the work of Vivian Maier. Please post your (new!) photos between Feb 1 - 22 and use the hashtag #vivianmaierassignment.
JUNKYARD TREASURES: Maier was fascinated by what others might consider junk. So its ironic that her work was only discovered when John Maloof bought a box of photos at a flea market auction. Go find that hidden treasure that is usually overlooked - be it at the bottom of a bin, a local flea market or an estate sale.
I’M SORT OF A SPY (x2): Meander through the streets of your hometown and look - really LOOK. What catches your eye? An interesting outfit or posture? A group of people waiting for a bus? A couple holding hands at the street light? The legs of mother and child in a shop? We’re sure you’ll come up with an excellent shot. No wait - make that two! It’s the VM classic, after all.
IN THE NEWS: Vivian Maier was fascinated by the news - especially when they highlighted the folly of humanity. She also horded newspapers. For this assignment, set up a photo that has a newspaper or headline of sorts in it.
MANGLED MANNEQUIN: Next time you go window-shopping ignore the clothes and look at the mannequins. Lop-sided? Disassembled? Naked? You’ve got your shot.
MIRROR MIRROR: The classic VM selfie. Come on, we couldn’t do a Vivian Maier assignment and not have this one in there. Find something shiny and let us see a reflection of you and your camera. Shadow and smile optional.
BONUS ASSIGNMENT: A picture that no one will see: Take it, have it developed, don’t show it to anyone. Stash it away in a box. Post a photo of the box.
Please be kind and respectful when doing street photography. Vivian Maier was not just an exceptional photographer - she has also been described as “imposing and rude”. Don’t be inspired by that.
Remember: Only post new (mobile) photos, and only tag one per assignment. You can tag your outtakes with #vivianmaierassignment_outtake, though.
By the way - We’re not checking if you finish all 6 assignments, so don’t be discouraged if you can’t finish. The main thing is to start playing and have fun!
Assignment: "Homelife: Chores" March 30 - April 13
Checking and making sure the garbage got taken out. We missed it the last two weeks and now it's full of dirty diapers... Eeeww...
Shot for: fotoplayers.blogspot.com/
I asked some people to shoot something for my first assignment but no one had any time so I decided to do it on my own. In my opinion "doing something" doesn't always have to involve a lot of action. Because of this I chose to shoot one of the activities I really used to do pretty often. This is waht a perfect evening would have looked like until recently. Hopefully I will be able to get back into reading again soon.
This shot includes a book cover which might insult some people. For those people I have to say that this is not a book that is glorifying Nazis but it is about how the world would look like if the Nazis would have won WWII (The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick). I really love to read about strongly polarising and controversial topics which you have to think about and I also enjoy a good glass of wine from time to time.

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.

Assignment 2 - Umbrella Specular Portrait
430EX in shoot-thru umbrella to camera right at 1/16 power. Shot in manual. Triggered with an ST-E2.
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)
PCNW Light Control assignment 1.
The essence of light. Produce one image that speaks to the essence of light as you see it.
I'm taking a 35mm black and white photography course at my Uni this semester and my teacher is kind enough to scan the work that we hand in.

Taken with a Yashica FR and Ilford HP5 Plus 400 ISO film. Processed, developed and printed by me.

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.
Getting my grandbaby ready for a bath and bed, I have lotion, diaper, wipes and his bottle, all the necessity's he needs to get him ready.
Assignment 1 - Wild doodling - My doodle! I used a black biro pen and coloured pencils (the watercolour ones). I frequently doodle this squiggly pattern - today i was out in the wind collecting fallen leaves which were amazing colours so i made my squiggly doodle into a tree, with leaves blowing in the wind. No idea how to draw the wind, so blue swirly pattern represents the wind (not sure it showed up clearly in the scan?). No clue how Flickr works so hopefully this will go to the right place! Clare
View of part of London City from the London Bridge. The building on the left is the City Hall - an iconic structure which forms part of the London Skyline because of its distinct and unusual shape. The former Mayor of London referred to it as the "Glass Testicle" and the current one refers to it as "The Onion" or "Th Glass Gonad". The obelix like structure on the right is another aptly named building - "The Gherkin".
This is an HDR image - shot at f/11; Focal Length 24mm; ISO Speed 100;
3 exposures at 1/60; 1/125; and 1/30 secs. Combined using Photomerge in PS CS3.
I did a re-edit of this which can be found here www.flickr.com/photos/21096178@N03/3442479891/
