Today, I was given the greatest treasure. My mother gave me my grandmother's Bible. I always remembered my grandmother being a spiritual person. I didn't realize how much until I saw her Bible. I have never seen a Bible so worn and studied in my life. She made the cross bookmark. This Bible is filled with her thoughts and verses that were important to her. Plus all kinds of poems and newspaper clippings she used as bookmarks. Not to mention the family history she recorded in it. I have a great start to researching my family tree. This book is so fagile and delicate. It means the world to me.

The last assignment of the Strobist Lighting 102 blog-course is to take a photo of still-life, containing a still life, combining flash and some form of time-based manipulation, strobist.blogspot.com/2008/09/lighting-102-72-time-in-bot.... Other related Strobist posts: strobist.blogspot.com/2008/08/lighting-102-71-flash-zoom-... and strobist.blogspot.com/2008/08/lighting-102-70-time-based-....
Here, I tried to collect all different tricks you could do combining flash and long exposure: zoom, change focus, pan, use multiple manual flashes. Tricks not done here are rotating the camera during exposure (could not, used a tripod) and doing selective diffusion for the flash. David Hobby's (Mr Strobist's) advice is to do these tricks with a background that is lighter than your subject to avoid ghosting - here I instead chose for a dark background to see all effects.
Lessons learned: (1) it makes a difference in which way you zoom (in or out). In was better. (2) First-curtain syncronization is strong here, giving more predictable results. (3) Defocussing during the exposure gave interesting, "glowing" results.

The basic setting was: Canon 500 D on a tripod, snooted remote flash Canon 430 EX II fired through PW MiniTT1-FlexTT5-AC3.
Column A: This is with available window light, as a reference, showing a normal image, a zoomed-out image and the setting (snoot of the flash shown).
Column B: Top: Static flash-only and flash+ambient shots. First-curtain flash used. Middle: zoomed out during exposure (looks weird). Bottom: zoomed in during exposure (looks as I expected).
Column C: Similar as Column B, but frontal view. Top: stationary, middle: zooming out (not much to see), Bottom: zooming closer (as I wanted).
Column D: Trials for focus shifting. Top: stationary, middle: moving focus closer, bottom: moving focus away.
Column E: Moving the camera horizontally to the right during exposure. Top: stationary, middle: first-curtain synchronization (as it should be), bottom: second-curtain synchronization (could not get rid of the "ghost" that came from pressing the shutter during otherwise smooth moving).
Column F: Light painting with flash. Top: Flash setting the same as elsewhere. Middle: flash fired manually once from the "test" button during exposure. Bottom: flash fired twice manually during exposure.

Assignment 52: On the Street Where You Live
I had something else in mind for my last shot, but when I walked out the door, I saw this wide-eyed guy on the newel post.
No actual wine was consumed during the making of this photo...unfortunately.
Strobist: SB-80DX at 1/2 power just out of left frame, triggered via GI remotes.
Trying to take a nice picture of my "48 star" USA flag I have had since I was a child.
As you notice, I had a helper!! LOL
This week’s assignment is to find a quiet place
Don’t – none, just take a break from your busy days and go shooting!
Dare – add people (same as last week, sorry I just love pictures of people)
My husband and I went to Colonial Williamsburg yesterday just to stroll around. It's about 1 1/2 hours from our house. On the way home we stopped at this wonderfully quiet place on a river bank. My husband is off in the distance and I'm in the corner (shadow).

University Assignment Season! Hogging Power Points and Bashing up the Keyboard on both my Mac and iPhone!
this is my submission for the second assignment for Strobist Bootcamp II. I'm a bit disapointed because i cannot seem to get the colors to come out right on the web.
I'm a complete novice at studio work and this was a major learning experience for me. It turned out to be much much more challenging than i had thought.
Strobist: 580EX II 1/2 camera left and behind, 430EX 1/16 camera right about level with the subject, gold reflector camera left, held by a voice activated stand (my son). Canon 30D with 17-85 lens 1/60 sec, F/16 (set up in my stream)

Squirrel by Hideo Komatsu. A rare occurrence of me having done most of the available assignments for all of my classes next week allowed me some spare time for folding. Folded from a test square of Golden River paper.

First shot for my AP Photo Class!!
The assignment was Shapes and Space and I decided to try space for this photo. My idea came from a previous photo I have done (below) in which I used a Scooter instead of a pogo stick. This is my dad attempting to jump on a pogo stick! For this shot, I had to do some preparation. The main part was creating the backdrop. This consisted of two chairs and a black bedroom sheet laying across them with five different clamps to keep any 'wrinkles' out. I then had my dad put on my Nike shoes because I think they have an interesting design that would be captured in the Photo. Also, I just like the color of them. I think the fun theme of the shoes ironically match with the fun theme of a Pogo stick (didn't think of that until after the editing). I originally planned on having my dad wear Nike socks to match the shoes but I didn't capture the socks in this photo. It was probably better that way because now I don't have any of his gross leg hair in the photo! Eww!
Editing was done in Paint.net. I did basic adjustments but the biggest thing was making the background a consistent black so I used levels to help me on that. Then I did a slight rotation to make the ground completely horizontal and then went in for a small crop.
Let me know what your thoughts are on the photo! The point was to use space efficiently to make a photo appealing. I think this photo accomplishes that goal.

Shooting for a purpose

I must admit I thought the assignment wanted just the image (with no text) but I note all the others so far have text added - so I did!
The meaning is obvious, I hope. An Agency specialising in counselling services for those experiencing marriage or relationship problems.
On reflection I wish the crack was a bit narrower, but I hope the meaning is clear. :)
Two images. The bells and the cracked earth background showing through. Blended in PSE5 and text added there too.

For Assignment 2, we were focusing on the use of Long Exposure within existing light. I took several different images with long exposures in order to get light trails and afterimage effects. I did multiples different scenarios in order to see how they would be compared to each other and overall think it went okay for me. In this one my sister is sitting in a rocking chair and I tried to recreate a ghostly image. So my goal was to make a person seem transparent to the background and leave their afterimage. So my main inspiration for this image came from some of Francesca Woodman’s work. I was really trying to get the ethereal, ghostly figure being caught while rocking on a chair.
Active Assignment Weekly: Jan 18-25 "Details"
Rumpleteazer is one of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen. He has just as much spunk as when my mom saved him from the side of the road many years ago.
There is a color version of this in my photostream as well, but I thought the b&w highlighted the details a little more effectively for the AAW.
"And when you heard a dining room smash
Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
Or down from the library came a loud ping
From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming
Then the family would say: "Now which was which cat?
It was Mungojerrie! And Rumpleteazer!"
And there's nothing at all to be done about that!”
