I know nothing about lighting so I am so happy to be doing this course! It took 135 pictures to get to this. I started off using my new Canon 430 flash but the reflection was just too harsh no matter where I pointed the flash, at the back, the front, the side, up on the roof. So I got a lamp instead from the lightbox I made a few days ago and used that. Again, too harsh. It just looked too much like a cliche too, to me. Metal object = must have reflection from light, been done and much better than I could. So, I ended up pointing the light up at the ceiling instead and that gave a nice even light and so I ended up bouncing the flash off the ceiling too. I hope this has given it a quality that is a little original that just a plain reflection. I like how the DOF field and the light gives it a soft tone all over.

Can you tell what this piece of equipment is?
For my birthday I recently received the book Learning To Love You More by Harrell Fletcher and Miranda July. It is a book of artistic assignments that you can turn to if your creative well has run dry and you would rather someone just tell you what to do. That in itself can be a particularly freeing experience.
The catalyst for this image is Assignment 55: Photograph a Significant Outfit. Although the exact instructions call for you to photograph what you were wearing during a significant moment in your life, I tend to think of these clothes as a time capsule which immediately teleports me back to 1978. Plus learning to do The Hustle just doesn't qualify as a significant moment! ;-)
To complete the ensemble you must visualize a few items that I've lost along the way:
1. Puka shell necklace
2. Brown patent leather boots (you know, the ones that zip up the side)
For those of you who weren't born yet (or still in diapers) in 1978, Jimmy Carter was president, the movie Saturday Night Fever was a box office smash, the Bee Gees dominated the pop air waves and everyone was deceived into thinking that John Travolta was an excellent dancer... I guess a some things never change!
Don't ask me why I still keep these clothes tucked away in the back of my closet. Even if I could lose enough weight to fit into them again, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them in public. I guess it's just something I bring out every few years to look at when I need a good laugh. Also, the great thing about polyester is that they look just as good today as they day I bought them!
Secret #5 - I use to kiss alot. I mean different people. call me a lip whore I had a goal to kiss the alphabet. Lets just say it was never completed due to some unforeseen circumstance that I would rather not get rid of at the moment to finish a HS goal.
that unforeseen circumstance to you guys is named Donnie <3
I'm feeling much better, my mini fever broke so I'm alot more comfy than yesterday.
Bear is dying. :( he's getting really old and tired all the time. I need to make sure he is comfy so that he lives to be happy and dies peacefully.
oh p.s. I booked my first wedding today (yipee!) for March 27th, 2010. WOOT WOOT. hopefully i get an a700 by then. ^.^ (hint hint hint christmas wishlist item!!! hint hint hint)

When we disconnect from the source of the conveniences in our lives, whether they are as simple as switching on a light or as complex as bringing food to table, we lose a little bit of our appreciation for the amazing complexity of the world.
Nothing special about this one; I was playing with the 50 mm lens and depth of field.
Assignment - Light : This is the second in a series of assignments that I am working on with my friend Colorblindpicasso. We started a monthly photographic assignment to challenge ourselves to become better photographers, both technically and artistically. In this case, he's got me beat. Not only are his photos for the assignment awesome, he also got them in on time :)

You don't have to comment on this photo, because I deleted the last one (that worm thing scared me after a while). But on a deeper level, I post things here sometimes for the wrong reason. This time I'm submitting it because I believe in it and don't care if anyone else wishes to validate it.
Right now I'm very stressed. I just became incorporated as a photography business and I'm applying for project grants to show in galleries. The gallery owners are all about money and product, and so I've been really trapped in this. My mission is to provoke storytelling in my community with the photos I create. Storytelling that provokes thought and opens minds to new ideas.
Then I saw this star flower on the ground. Lately I've been finding a lot of things on the ground, and think these things are sometimes very important. This flower is in a glass by my computer to remind me of what's important. I love all the submissions this week and always look forward to seeing what you all produce, and I'm also so amazed at how confident most of you are.
This is SOOC, except for a crop and a slight alteration in white balance.

This girl was sitting on the pavement outside our office all day. Sometimes she took a photo and sometimes she made notes.
Eventually I gave in and asked what was going on. Apparently she is a student at the media studies centre (or whatever the old printers' college at Elephant & Castle is called now) and was on an assignment.
Everyone in the class was given a different location where they had to go and stay for 5 hours "soaking up the atmosphere" and observing. I could not work out exactly what the end result of all this was to be, except possibly lung disease from 5 hours of soaking up exhaust fumes.
So... if anyone else in Lambeth/Southwark spotted a lonely figure hanging around the same spot all day today, it could well have been another media studies student.
My daughter painted a "weather rock" this week during Spring Break. When we got home this afternoon, it was a little rainy and dreary, and when I saw the rock on our porch, I thought it would be a perfect fit for this assignment.
Students from all academic levels suffer from hypertension and anxiety for completing their assignments before the submission deadline. With new surroundings in college and increased social interactions, students often procrastinate and postpone assignment writing to the last hour. And to add to the mayhem, many students don’t really know how to write an assignment properly. But knowing how to write an assignment with a logical structure and apt outline of introduction, opinion/s and conclusion; is highly imperative. Be it in college or school, students should be familiar with and have knowledge on how to write an assignment by keeping all specifications in mind. CFS’s guide on How to write an assignment includes many tips and tricks of the trade. To gain helpful tips by CFS, watch the video How To Write An Assignment> Assignment Writing Tips on CFS’s exclusive YouTube channel.

Which road to follow....
Very appropriate considering I'm right in the middle of planning the route for our next trip.
an upload of some 51 images i took at the Torture Garden Event held at the Caves in Edinburgh, late December 2012
The lighting was particularly poor and the fashion show / performance shots were captured in very low light, and some through dry ice. not the easiest assignment i have had, and i was glad to have the 1D Mk IV to shoot with as it's capabilities were more than needed :o)
Some of the shots are a bit risqué, and I have left them marked as restricted so as not to offend. apologies for uploading 50+ shots in one go, but please do have a look them all as i would be grateful for any constructive comments if you have a moment :o)

The Mayan City of Chichen Itza is well-known by its pyramids and temples. In the 7th century it became in a Center of Arts and Sciences. However, a recent study of human remains taken from the ruins found that they had wounds consistent with human sacrifice.

Mild-mannered techie, Brian Bracket, was working in the computer lab late one evening, and his brain was about to crash. His department, for reasons unbeknownst to him, had been given a daunting government encryption viability assignment, and the deadline was tomorrow. Convinced he could succeed where his coworkers had failed, Brian remained after hours, tirelessly attempting to crack the code and show those DC eggheads they don’t know squat. And, he had almost done it, when all of a sudden his idiot friends showed up unexpectedly with some beers and a couple large cheeses. Startled, and having just initiated a variable vector algorithm wizard, Brian totally spilled his Pepsi all over the keyboard.
As fate would have it, that very soda can contained traces of a unusual metal which in ancient times had existed in the form of a very powerful amulet, known to legend as simply, "The Fury." As the story goes, a very powerful wizard had been up all night with his buddies, avoiding working on his junior thesis and instead turning farts into gold, when his mom woke up, got wicked mad, and made them all go home. The wizard thought this was really uncool, so, on the fly, he altered the spell they’d been using to instead turn his next pungent emanation into a metal deadbolt lock he could put on the basement door -- so his mom couldn’t just barge in whenever she felt like it.
But, things didn't turn out the way he had hoped. Instead, when all the smoke had cleared, he noticed an amulet lying upon the ground. He was kind of a dumb kid, so he just picked it up and put it on, without knowing what it would do to him. Instantly, he was transformed into a hulking beast, double his size and pretty freakin' strong. The anger he had been feeling deep in within gut had manifested itself into a mystical metallic object, capable of reflecting his emotional distress into a tangible alteration of his physical self. And, he was pretty freakin' strong. But, as we all know, moms don't put up with that kind of crap, so she smacked him upside the head, yanked the amulet from his neck and tossed it into the garbage.
Now, in the present day, during the worst thunderstorm of the year, somehow the combination of being rudely interrupted by his idiot friends, the fact he had just begun the algorithm wizard, and the presence of those minute traces of magical fart metal in his can, bestowed upon Brian Bracket the ability to turn into pretty freakin’ strong monster whenever he wants to. Sometimes, though, when he lets one rip, he starts to transform unexpectedly, but he’s cool with that now.
THE END
Assignment 3 was called "Made to Be Photographed." I decided to use this opportunity to vent my frustration with the current situation in our public education system.
Assignment
Sequence/ Block and grid style
Wanted to show delicatness from my artist model
-maybe Ageing
Assignment 52 -- Bokeh -- my first experiment with shaped bokeh
I'd never done anything like this before, & did a lot of fooling around to get the right-sized stencil for my lens opening before anything worked at all. It was interesting to me, though, as it helped me understand more about aperture & light. I think I also made this more challenging for my initial attempt by choosing a complex shape, harder to make come out recognizably.
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!
Active Assignment Weekly Feb. 11 - 18: The Colour of Beauty
WIT: This is my jewelry tree, upon which hangs only a small fraction of my earrings. In order to hang all my earrings up, I would need a jewelry forest, I'm afraid! I set it on one of my favourite scarves, as I was going for an "antique" colour palette. The light came from the window, which reflected well on the white branches of the tree, since there wasn't that much light coming in, as you can see by the darker background. In post, adjusted the colours just a little, and cropped to 8 by 10.
Assignment 52 -- Home Town Tourist Attractions -- World War I Memorial, in Scoville Park, Oak Park, IL, a few blocks south of the Hemingway Birthplace
When this monument was dedicated, in 1925, Hemingway was already in Paris, living the cafe expatriate life, married to his first wife Hadley Richardson, and working on his first novel, The Sun Also Rises, published the following year.
But his war experiences shaped much of his fiction and also his world view. He was hardly out of high school, when he volunteered as an ambulance driver on the Italian front in World War I. After he was severely wounded, he returned to Oak Park to recuperate. And decades later, during the Spanish Civil War and World War II, he worked as a journalist in combat zones.
Here are a few of the things he had to say about war:
--World War I was the most colossal, murderous, mismanaged butchery that had ever taken place on earth. Any writer who said otherwise lied. So the writers either wrote propaganda, or shut up, or fought.
--Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.
--No catalogue of horrors ever kept man from war. Before the war, you always think that it's not you who will die... In modern war, there is nothing sweet or fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.

For this week's assignment you need to"Frame" your subject with something natural or staged...But..Not with Photoshop or one of those other funky programs.
Restriction: No imported frame.
Dare:Take the assignment literally.
Well I headed out to work on this assignment but my dogs were not cooperating. So I figured I'd make the pups model for me another day and try to combine the weekly and monthly assignments together.
I wanted it to look as though it was a picture hanging up and the glass being broken and liquefying.
WIT: I rotated it 90 degrees in Picasa and adjusted the lighting.
