Bob

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!

Tiger Close Up.....

Shelley - The Fair

I learned how to use my phone camera at the Thurston County Fair. Thanks Barbra!

Claire - The Fair

Get me outta here!

CHRIS - LONG SHOT X & Y

I found this in somebody's drive way. The X and Y's are in the landscape bricks.

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.

CHRIS - LIGHT STUDY - CHIAROSCURO

I CHOOSE DA VINCI'S ARMS AND HANDS AS MY SUBJECT FOR THE CLASS PROJECT, AND ASKED SEVERAL CLASS MATES TO LET ME PHOTOGRAPH THEIRS HANDS AND ARMS.



JAMES WAS MY FIRST TRY - NOT ENOUGH SOFT LIGHT



DAN WAS THE SECOND TRY - BETTER SHADOWS AND DEFINITION



DEANA WAS MY THIRD WITH A DIFFERENT SETUP OF LIGHTS - MUCH SOFTER & NICE

A flower hidden in a water drop.

Claire - Hidden Beauty

I have this apricot tree that only puts out a few apricots every year -- you really have to hunt for them. I didn't think there were any this year but finally found a few. We'll see if the squirrels get to them first. f 5.6, s 1/30, iso 320.

Claire - Panorama

From our Nisqually field trip.

Chris - Panorama

I had a lot of fun at last weeks shoot at the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge Then coming back and playing with my work was a challenge, but lots of fun.

Chris - Hidden Beauty

I was out driving looking for my subject, made a few turns too many that got me lost and took me to the end of a dead end street where I discovered my "Hidden Beauty".

Zane ~ Hidden Beauty

1/25s, ISO 160, f.5.6, color to BW.  This is a hidden cemetery for the monks at St. Martin's Abbey property.  A clearing surrounded by trees and simple plantings and an old stone moss covered fence.

It's meant to be peaceful not Halloween scary.

Hidden Beauty

My fifth great grandchild (Mikenna) in her current beauty and her hidden beauty yet to blossom!
