Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: Sept. 5-12 Backlighting
"I thought this week we could try backlighting. Backlighting refers to the process of illuminating the subject from the back. Anything from translucent flowers and foliage, to glowing subjects to silhouettes. It doesn't matter what type lighting (natural or artificial) or what type of subject you use, as long as it is lit from behind."
It's been too long since I had a go at an active assignment! I was determined to make time today, but as were catching the tail end of hurricane Katia over here I decided to stick to an inside shot. I love my little mazeball, so I decided to take a pic of him!The hardest part was turning my back room into a backlit studio, which I managed by partially closing the curtains and placing the ball on a stool, on top of a sheet of white A4 paper. et voila! Basic brightness/contrast adjustments to get the effect I was looking for, as well as some sharpening.
Our assignment was to do a re-creation of one photograph from a famous photographer. In the case of our team, the photographer was Vivian Maier. We shot the photo in Downtown Orlando. The original photo can be found at: www.bronxbanterblog.com/tag/vivian-maier/
Aperture: Ć’/5.0
Focal Length: 28.0 mm
Shutter Speed: 1/25
ISO: 100
Assignment 52 -- Backlighting
This assignment was so much fun! Had a number of out-takes of different subjects, also:

Please read “2 of 52 page-1” first
When we look at the Exposure Level Indicator (ELI), what are we seeing? By pressing the shutter button down half way will bring up the exposure level needle. If the needle is pointing at the zero mark, this indicates in most instances the correct level of exposure for a good photo. If the needle points to the left at the -1 or -2, this indicates an underexposure of 1 or 2 full f-stops (or more). If the needle points to the right at the +1 or +2, this indicates an overexposure of 1 or 2 full f-stops (or more). Underexposure means a darker picture and an overexposure means a lighter picture. Finally the small tick marks between the full f-stops represent the 1/3 f-stops.
In order to take a properly exposed photo in manual we want the needle, in most cases, to point at zero. The normal way to adjust the needle is by changing the shutter speed or f-num. Which one you adjust first is usually dependent on if you are taking an action picture (shutter speed) or landscape/portrait (f-num). In this example I will take a portrait of Tigger so I will use my 55mm lens and start by adjusting the f-num.
We will be looking at the frames above from left to right and top to bottom. In the first frame we have just turned on the camera. The main thing to note is that with the current settings we are underexposed (the needle was flashing indicating it was off the scale by an unknown amount). Since this is a portrait, I will lower the f-num from f11 to f5.6 for a narrower depth of field. This will also increase our exposure level 6 clicks or 2 full f-stops (f10, f9, f8, f7.1, f6.3, f5.6). The second frame shows f5.6 but we are still underexposed* so in the third frame I adjusted the shutter speed until the needle moved under the zero. A Rule of Thumb is photos with shutter speeds slower than 1/60 should be taken with a tripod. Since we have a shutter speed of 1/30, if we are using a tripod, we can take the picture (Even if you have a tripod you may want to follow the next step just to avoid movement in the subject).
If we don’t have a tripod, we are going to continue adjusting the settings. Since 1/30 is to slow a shutter speed to take the picture by hand and I can’t lower the f-num any further my only option is to increase the ISO. This is my own Rule of Thumb but unless I’m shooting action pictures I usually try to use the lowest ISO I can get away with. To pick an ISO we could just go to an ISO of 200, readjust the shutter speed and see if we can zero the needle. If it doesn’t, then try 400 and readjust and so on until we get the needle to zero.
That’s kind of hit or miss and not very Ansel Adams like. Another way is to use what we learned from the first page. In frame 4 you can see I adjusted the shutter speed to 1/60 (the slowest speed we want for hand held photography) and counted how many Main Dial clicks it took to get there. From 1/30 we have 3 clicks (1/40, 1/50, 1/60) or 1 full f-stop of underexposure as can be seen on the ELI. We also know that increasing the ISO one position from 100 to 200 will increase the exposure level 1 full f-stop, which should then move the needle back to zero which can be seen in frame five. We are now ready to take a hand held picture.
Let’s say you’ve had too much Red Bull and are feeling a little shaky so you don’t want to take a hand held picture right at the edge at 1/60. You could increase the ISO once more to 400, which will overexpose the picture by 1 full f-stop as seen in frame six. Then from 1/60 increase the shutter speed 3 clicks or 1 full f-stop (1/80, 1/100, 1/125) as seen in frame seven**. Now you have plenty of margin on the shutter speed and the needle is back to zero.
Note 1: again as we discussed on page 1, to have the relationships between the ISO, shutter speed and f-num work this precise, you have to maintain a constant aim point. Small variations in the aim point could cause variations in the light meters exposure level readings which will be seen in the needle. And again tripods can help eliminate any inconsistencies.
*Note 2: In frame 2, we are underexposed by 2 1/3 full f-stops (1 click off scale left) because from shutter speed 1/160 to 1/30 is 7 clicks (1/125, 1/100, 1/80, 1/60, 1/50, 1/40, 1/30) and to get from zero to -2 on the ELI is 6 clicks (count them).
**Note 3: In frame 6, instead of increasing shutter speed, we could have increased the f-num or a combination of the two to move the needle to zero. It depends on the look you’re trying to achieve.
I hope this helps you to use the Exposure Level Indicator. Now on to the assignment.
The Assignment: Minimal natural color: Color is beautiful, but photos with a minimum of color can be fascinating as well. The assignment this week is to take a photograph with minimal color; to let the composition control the scene– the votes will be the judge on how well you did.
Restriction: No desaturation in post-processing. You must find the minimal color in the subject.
Dare: Don’t rely on concrete to be the majority of the photograph.
WIT: Hand-held shot of duct work found in the house. F/2.8, 1/60 sec, ISO 1000. Needed the flash (on camera) to keep the metal grain in focus(-2 EV with a piece of paper held against it). CS4 rotated, cropped, curves for contrast, sharpened, resize.
Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: Clouds
First of all, let me thank gfpeck for coming up with this assignment idea. I would have to say that prior to Saturday morning when it had either been completely overcasted or completely clear skys that I was not very happy with this assignment.
Saturday morning, however, turned into one of my best picture taking learning experiences ever. Bare with me, this is going to get a little wordy, but hpping you can relate to it as a fellow picture taker.
It all started at 6:30am. Went out in hopes of catching some interesting clouds only to see blankets of cloud overhead. Not hopeful. At around 6:45am, I noticed that the wind picked up to around 30 miles per hour which started to stir the clouds a bit. At the same time, I could tell that the sunrise was trying to fight it's way through the think sheets of clouds. Before I knew it, the wind started to break up the clouds significantly causing the scenery to change all around me. On the one hand, the sun rays were beaming through the clouds, on the other hand, the clouds behind and to the side of me were receiving pinkish light from the sunrise. We had our share of dark clouds too. It became a cloud wonderland.
I had my tripod set up (for a change) and found myself turning everywhich way to catch a picture. I'm learning about RAW images and exposure, so with every scene, I experimented with different shutter speeds and just thoroughly enjoyed how the results differed with every exposure change. With the wind blowing hard, the scenery, lighting, and colors, even changed between exposure adjustments. Nothing stayed still for me to shoot for more than a minute (crazy, but fun). In under 60 minutes, I got to watch the clouds dance between the sun and the light that it produced. Magnificent.
I couldn't believe I ended up snapping over 250 shots in raw (luckily I have a large memory card). I struggled with which 2 pictures to submit. There were other pictures that I took which were more focused on light. I ended up submitting to AAW pictures that emphsized the clouds. I've posted a mosaic of those pictures to share here (if interested).

WIT: Converted from RAW to Jpeg. Increased "black" and contrast to intensify gradient effect.

Taken for the Assignment 52 group- week 32: Sun burst (sorry- had this mis-labeled)
I always thought this was done with a certain filter. I didn't realize that an aperture priority setting and F-16 setting would accomplish this! Really happy with how this came out!
Active Assignment Weekly : Junk.
There is this great shop that sells all sorts of....well, junk, among other things. This was outside, on top of a large cabinet. Unfortunately my time of day wasn't great, so it was really bright. Boosted saturations and tried to correct levels in PS.

Assignment 52 -- October Colors
The leaves around here have been very slow to turn this fall, & all the leaves in my own trees are still green. I found quite a lot of color at the Arboretum, though. So much that I had a hard time choosing for the assignment. Here's the link to others:
