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)

Shooting for a purpose

Jan 5th 2014

 

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.

Nom nom nom? Anyways. I've always enjoyed grossing people out by obnoxiously eating with my mouth wide open. In my mouth are chocolate, crackers, frosted Mini-wheats, and Cheerios. Why not macro this and see the details of the chewed up food mixed with the saliva?

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!ā€

― T.S. Eliot, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats

I downloaded a new app to my ipad called Assignment. It has wonderful ideas to get me back to and motivated to shooting more often.

Strobist Info:

- 1 bare flash on model right

- gold reflector below

My final entries for #DEDPXL01 lines assignment.

Below my building there are storage boxes and lots of pipes. Last door is to the building main water pipes. For me it looks better without the human element.

 

Natural light from left, mixed with indoor light spots in the main hallway. Telephoto to compress pillars shades.

 

Already posted this but now with some straightening.

For this assignment I decided to go with colour instead of B&W since I wanted to incorporate gels into the equation. I thought the red adds that element of impending action about to take place...

 

Another light or a reflector could've helped to improved background separation. Next time...

I know Joe already went with this theme for America, but it's one of the first photos I took for this assignment but wasn't sure about it. Then I noticed some details I liked and decided to go for it. SOOC, except for a little clarity enhancement.
