The assignment of the week: Rule of Thirds. I got excited and went straight away to demonstrate an example. Sorry for being so sudden about it XD.
Minimum photos to submit: 1
Maximum photos to submit: 5
Last date for submissions: 1/22/2010 (Next Friday)
Resolution should not exceed 600pxl on the longest side (horizontal or vertical)
Heavy post processing will disqualify the submissions. Only contrast adjustments and cropping allowed.
This is what I can think of right now. I'll try to give it more thoughts later and update the rules and other related stuff to make it better. Now I have to study to make up for the time I lost preparing all of this >_<
July 2009 - The third of six writing assignments this month.
I comment about my life and opinions in my eJournal and images every single day.
The setup on this shot is as follows:
A single flash, to camera right from a distance of about 15 inches from the egg separator. Shot through a "gel" (Ok not really a gel, but a bottle of Dawn dish detergent about 1 inch off the flash face) on each side of the utensil, and just over are sheets of white copy paper (so, three in all) to catch the white light that escaped around the "gel" and reflect back on the separator.
I tried to give the illusion of a multi-light setup using a single flash.
Assignment: PCA03 - Isolated Subject
Deadline: October 1st, 2007
Mission:
Show us an isolated subject. Razor sharp focus on the subject, and completely blurred to annihilation backgrounds. This can be accomplished by using a wide aperture and having a distant background. If using a less sophisticated camera, try using the portrait mode or macro mode. If you cannot get the background out of focus, then choose a featureless background.
I took a lot of pictures for this assignment and I think I liked the ones of this fence the least, but it is the only one where one subject is in razor sharp focus. All my others ones suffer from soft or blurry edges on the main subject. I did some post-processing work on this photo: cropping and trying to dodge out the bright white spot in the middle of the photo. It sort of worked. I still think it is too bright in comparison to the rest of the background, but any darker and it started to look strange.
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, bounced off white ceiling, 1/2 power, radio trigger on a stand, camera right.
Late morning sun behind.
Umbrella'd SB-80 at camera right.
Money's tight right now, but her mom really wanted photos of Bella. There were happy ones, but this one is my fave of the Balance shots from this series, and was much more characteristic of Bella's mood on this morning.
Cooking Light Assignment Attempt 1. I'm attempting to play with a negative look for this, with only highlights revealing the form of the subject. I like the way the blue plays off of the scoop, though I'm not overly pleased with the overall composition. I'll probably try again soon, possibly with a different subject in a similar setup.
Strobist: 1 LP180 camera left, full power to blow out background. 1 LP180 High camera right 1/4 power gelled blue for highlights.

Assignment trial shot for Light 102 Umbrella Specular.
I was surprised at the difficulty in the set up. Small changes made a big difference when I was trying to get a halo on old St Nick. This is a 30 inch Santa with a hand carved wood face.
Single white shoot thru umbrella with two SB800's paired into it. Camera D70 with 17-55 lens. CLS used to fire speedlights set on manual 1/8 power. Camera at 1/60 f5.6. White wall about 5 feet to camera left gave slight fill with the shadows.
"Light painting" assignment for intermediate digital photography. Front curtain softbox strobe followed by a long exposure with flashlights.
Take a well-known kids book and recast it as a computer book. Look for inspiration here:

With apologies to Mo Willems ...his Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus book cover has been transformed to a 'computer' book with a little imagination and some posting manipulation. Twitter bird attributed to Shawn Rossi
Pretty sloppy on execution of this one due to time and effort - just did in PP and then downloaded as a jpeg. So the shape to over the original wording didn't match the background and picked up some lines from somewhere?? (though then I saw a potential Post It note and considered tinting it a light yellow for the post - LOL). As well, the font doesn't exactly match, but pretty close. I remember finding the twitter bird created as a CC image for another preso and thought it would be a good addition...just in case it seemed to 'real' - tee hee! :)
Assignment 52 -- Painting with light
Here are Hemingway characters, in a cafe, preparing their drinks: "...the young man poured the water in a very thin stream and the girl watched the absinthe cloud opalescently. It felt warm as her fingers held the glass and then as it lost the yellow cast and began to look milky it cooled sharply and the young man let the water fall in a drop at a time."
(This was taken with two small stationary flashlights pointed at the glass, one on each side, & another flashlight briefly moving along the absinthe spoon handle, then briefly on the stream of water, during the 10 second exposure.)

Practice Day #11: This is my final week in PPSOP, and these are pictures that I submitted as my final assignment. Found these alphabet jellies in the market one day. Wasn't sure what to do with it, but I just thought it was interesting. And then I came up with the idea of lining them up in a tall glass (a quite tricky job!), together with ordinary white jelly balls.
this is a photo of the second part of a photo class assignment i had to present this week. for the assignment we were to make a walk and then also make an intervention of some sort in the environment. for inspiration we were introduced to the work of Richard Long and other walking artists.
for my walk and intervention i went to our property on the north end of Vancouver Island. a few weeks ago there was a landslide in the area and the land mass on the edge of our property and to the south of it underwent a drastic change. i don't have before photographs but a creek that could hardly be seen because of forest and thick undergrowth was now a 100 ft wide open area with trees down everywhere. a pullout between the road and the ocean that could easily fit 5 trucks was now completely gone.
i walked and took photographs of the landslide clean up and then went into the forest nearby and cleared a small area, set out bowls, filled them with earth and pine cones and then lit incense. then i took the bowls of ashes and earth down to the creek and submerged them in the creek.
i've posted each of the photos in this work on my website here
I used a Slow shutter speed and an ISO of 400 so you could actually see me sitting, so Sophie could draw the wings. We had Mandi press the button.
Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: April 27-May 4, 2015 - Eat your veggies!
I liked the shape of this tomato and then I just saw this week assignment, so it was easy to choose! Just selecting some light angle and a blurred clear background

Assignment: PCA31- Play
Deadline: June 29
Image Tag: pca31
From: Cynthia
Mission:
Everyone loves to play. Even adults. Here is your chance to get out and play. Surround yourself with people having fun for inspiration. Let loose. Kids are really good for inspiring one’s sense of playfulness and fun. Now, it doesn’t have to be a certain way. Remember, be creative, adventurous, but most importantly, get out and play.
WIT: well besides alot of reading up, playing about and above all grovelling to the wife i took the plunge and upgraded to a DSlr, so from here on in most of my assignment shots will be taken with my new toy, after all adults like to play too :-))
New camera laid out on black background with various shots taken then into photoshop to add the text and burn out a few blown areas. This was the only real shot i managed ths week for the assgnment due to reading the rather large manual for the new camera.
So, first assignment on the Strobist L102 Class...
Set up an object and move the light around to see how it "hits" the object.
