Me, Myself, and I

Claire - Lakefair

I took a lot of pictures from the spot across the lake. This is one of my favorites because of the people - but I really don't like the Capital Center building dominating the picture, but there was no way to avoid it or crop it out. (I suppose with a lot of Photoshop time I could get rid of it.) F 18, 1/20, ISO 250.

Phobia - Claire

I mostly don't take pictures of people; I never think I get very good shots. I also don't really take sports pictures. But my friend Roy is a golf nut and wanted some pictures so I went with him while he hit a bucket of balls. I got a couple that I liked, although no good portraits. I had a hard time figuring out the timing to get the club hitting the ball. Roy was shot @ f 5.6, s 1/200, ISO 200; the club shot was f 18/ s 1/50, ISO 200.

1.10s, f/5.0, ISO 160, fill flash 0, Timed.
Yes - a self portrait in a dance.  This was difficult from self perspective, and then actually getting the right amount of movement and legs in the right place. 

The neighbors must have thought I was nuts, them peeking through their window.

Fun!!

Drew Rickman - Photo Phobia

I had some Photoshop problems this weekend, so I didn't have a chance to finish this on time. Better late than never, right?

I'm with Greg on this one, I like being behind the camera, not in front of it. So here is a self portrait...

Drew Rickman - Lakefair

I had quite a few Lakefair images that I ended up liking. It was alot of fun once it got darker! These are just a few of the motion ones that I liked.

Andrea - Photo Phobia

I don't normally don't take pics of wild animals, unless you count my crazy dogs as wild, which they sometimes are :-) These little birdies just hatched out of their eggs earlier this week. Aren't they cute, sort of?

Andrea- Lakefair

I had a hard time figuring out what to photograph at Lakefair. There was so much going on, and everything was changing so quickly, it felt a bit chaotic. I usually have my kids with me when I take pictures at places like this, and without them as the focus I felt a bit lost. But it was a good experience and got me looking at things differently.

Deana ~ Picture Phobia

1/40~ F/29 ~ US0 250

I knew that I wanted to work on sitting in one spot and seeing what goes on around me. I get very impatient about just sitting and watching. My goal was to watch people and get blurred motion that way, but it was very difficult. So I started to watch cyclists and playing with the camera functions. I was way to slow in my reaction for people blur, so I plan on trying to continue to work on it. Barb thanks for the challenges, I may get frustrated but stepping out of the box is good.

Shelley - Photo phobia

Next to taking people shots is stopping on the road when there are people around. Hard to believe there is a zebra in my neighborhood!

Shelley -Lakefair

I chose to work on taking people shots. I tried to capture the moment without being too obvious.

Dave - Lakefair

I took this photo of two photographers on a hill over by the lake. I intentionally took it at 2500 ISO to create noise. I had to lay on the hill and shoot up towards them so that the light behind them would create the silhouette that I wanted. 1/50, F 5.0, ISO 2500. When I posted it, it appears darker than what it truly is.

Dave - Phobia

This was very hard for me! I am not the type to go up to people and talk to them unless I am at work. After building up the nerve for an hour or so I found this person. I asked to take her picture and asked if she would sign the waiver. She said "absolutely, what the hell I am not doing anything else." It was a lot easier than I thought it would be once I did it. 1/80, F 13, ISO 100

Jessica Simon - Photo Phobia

My photo phobia was not this weekend but actually the day of class. It was going up to someone and asking to take a photo of them and getting a photo release. Taking pictures in public has been hard for me, but every time I do it I feel more comfortable. I'm glad Barb put us to the test and I did it. Now I know I can do it from now on!!

Jessica Simon - Lakefair Night Shots

I had a good time working with motion at the fair. It was a different environment that tested me, which I liked. Here are a few shots I like from that evening. As always there is more on my website.

Maureen - a phobia

I would not have been able to get this group together nor would I have the team depending on my shot. Obviously the photo needs to have the background blurred and cleaned up -- if I only remembered my Photoshop lessons.

Greg Long Shot - Photo Phobia

I couldn't think of anything that I'm "phobic" of behind the lens, but I hate being in front of one. I thought I'd try a self portrait...
