Deana ~ Fair Phone Pictures

What a great freeing night in class...no equipment to have in hand. It was fun to let go of it all and use something so simple...however would love to play with the mud puddle in photoshop!

Maureen X and Y

I changed the orientation and cropped in Elements, Shot at ISO 100; 1/250; f4.5; 150mm. The x and y are in the distance. I suppose the bird and her reflection

could also be a "Y" .

Same site as above with x's and y's in foreground and background. ISO 100; 1/250; f4; 81mm.

More prominent "Y" shot at ISO 200; 1/30; f8 40mm.

Deana ~ X and Y Friday Long Shot

Friday Long Shot~ still enjoying the assignments!! The "X" was easy to locate at the Westport Marina - looking for items on the boats that represented the letters. The "Y" not so easy to locate, so I chose the second anchor that reminded me (sorta) of a "Y" but I found myself saying "Y would anyone get on that boat". Thanks Barb for another fun class!!

Deana, Dave, Jessica and Andrea - Lighting

This is our group effort at working with side lighting. This was the best one we came up with. It was fun to work as a group to accomplish it ~ the ideas and suggestions that flowed to make it work! A good team effort....and using a tri-pod was good.

Dave - X and Y

Depending on how you look at it I spy lots of X's, Y's, Squares, Diamonds, and rectangles.

Shelley - X and Y

This pair of old growth douglas fir make a Y.

Shelley - X and Y

We went backpacking this weekend. This is Blanca Lake. The reflection in the water and the mountains sort of form an X.

Shelley - Lighting class

Dan was my accommodating subject. I like this but maybe should crop out some of the black on the left side.

Jessica Little - "X and Y"

"X and Y" - what? Is that supposed to represent man and woman, lat/long, X axis/Y axis on graph? I don't know but as I weeded my garden I started looking at the pumpkin plants and the little tendrils that attach to everything and anything. I noticed this new pumpkin in the making and saw what I never would've seen without this weeks long shot on the mind...

Shot at 85mm plus extension tubes on the tripod. ISO 100, f4.5, 1/100 sec, spot metering.

Two Fawns in my Back Yard

This doesn't really have anything to do with our class assignment, but I thought some of you might enjoy these. I looked out my back window and one of the fawns was nibbling on some grass at my back porch. By the time I got my camera, it had worked its way around to the side of my house. I was surprised to see after a few shots of the first fawn that there was a second one just out of my initial line of sight. Mom was no where in sight, and neither of the fawns seemed to get spooked by me. They were pretty small, probably two feet tall or less at the small of their backs.
