I've only begun to play around with HDR. I'm intrigued, but will probably continue to take most of my photos without it. For one thing, I prefer RAW photos, and the automatic HDR setting only saves as JPG. However, all these photos were taken without any post-processing, cropping, etc. with Photoshop and I'm rather pleased with them.
Someone told me I looked scared in this picture...I was. It was a very bad day and I was hoping that playing with lights and experimenting would make me feel better...I guess I really captured my emotion.
This is the first needlepoint anything I did. I got a cheesy miniature easter basket kit and used it to figure out what I was doing.
Image Description: "W. A. Peck, County Agent in Ward County and Mr. Trott of the Grain Growers Guide. Mr. Peck is a married man and the boy is his eldest son. Mr. Peck is a graduate of Minnesota Agriculture College. He spent five years as a field man for the office of farm management at Washington, managed a three thousand acre ranch in Montana, before taking up County Agent work. He does not believe in riding in a Ford car so this year bought a "Grant".
In the background can be seen the white covers on the Alfalfa on the farm of one of his co-operators."

This was the first in Kristin Prather's series of Science and Math Workshops. They are for Intermediate School students to learn basic math and science concepts through FUN activities and demonstrations. They will get to make rockets, search the stars, and test mind-boggling physics theories. Let's not forget playing math games!
March 15 (Science) : 3-6 PM
March 29 (Math) : 12-3 PM
April 26 (Science) : 12-3 PM
May 3 (Math) : 12-3 PM
All workshops are in the Activity Room in the Friendswood Public Library.
Red and pinks aren't usually my color of choice, but I really like how this one turned out. Definitely my favorite of the experiments last night. I'll take what I learned from this one and expand on it with more layers and textures I think.
Num projeto patrocinado pela Caixa Economica Federal, foi montado na praça central do shopping Salvador uma mini quadra poliesportiva onde os frequentadores do shopping podem experimentar de forma ludica atividades do esporte paraolimpico. O atleta Dirceu Pinto medalhista de ouro nas paralimpiadas de Londres em 2012 paraticipou de jogos com crianças e adultos e distribuiu autografos..foto: Edson Ruiz

GCSE – Surfaces (set topic). My initial experiments focused on looking at patterns that are produced from rubbings of textured surfaces. I researched the artist Max Ernst who developed the technique of frottage. I took charcoal rubbings from objects such as tyres, gratings and man-hole covers. Later, I decided to explore how surfaces change with burning having been inspired by the ‘messy’ artwork of Anselm Kieffer. In particular, I liked how plastic shrank and twisted into fascinating shapes. This effect is used by artist Alberto Burri, however in my opinion his pieces seem rather boring in terms of colour and composition. I continued my own experimental work by incorporating acrylic and wire mesh into melted plastic. Although both gave interesting results, I especially liked the way wire allowed the plastic to cling to it and therefore chose to develop this idea. I created a collage on canvas by melting different coloured plastics onto chicken wire. I painted the canvas in Kiefer’s style and experimented with the composition by burning holes into it as well as incorporating a variety of plastic objects in the mesh structure. The overall effect was a little too ‘busy’ so I opted to use an open wooden frame for my larger final piece.

Sitting around patiently for around 4 hours tends to make you go a bit silly, which was fine by Chris. He doesn't mind getting silly night of the living dead shots.
I take my practice where I can get it. I take advantage of my father-daughter time to practice and experiment with whatever art supplies are at hand. This is crayola washable paint, and colored sharpies on watercolor paper. Lessons learned: 1) washable paint is not that good for layering because it "washes" off :) 2) watercolor paper must usually be prepped by wetting, and stretching (it warped and buckled) 3) I need to use grown-up art supplies some time soon!
The subject was picked from one of my toon jellyfish sketches. Hope you like!
