CHRIS - PLAYING WITH THE PIN HOLE CAMERA


THIS SHOT WAS RIGHT INTO THE LIGHT, I LIKED THE SHADOWS ON THE ANGEL A LOT.

I NEEDED MORE LIGHT OR A LONGER EXPOSURE, I'M NOT SURE WHICH TO HAVE MY SOUP TURINE SHOW UP PROPERLY.

I WAS CHECKING OUT THE "DEPTH OF FIELD" WITH THE PIN HOLE CAMERA. THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE MUCH DIFFERENCE FROM THE FIRST WIND CHIME TO THE LAST ONE.

I WAS GOING FOR A STILL LIFE BUT DIDN'T QUITE GET THERE

Zane - Off the Beaten Path

1/200s, f/5.0, ISO 160, fill flash -2, WB sunlight
Saturday evening was a good time to roam about the roads out in Littlerock; stopped and asked permission to photograph a farm.  The fellow had just finished mowing hay and gave me a big smile.  The image I wanted to show was bigness - him, the tractor and the smile.  The lighting conditions were tough with the blown out bright sky and shade under the trees.  He's holding two beers in his hidden left hand.  We laughed!

Claire - Pinhole


I thought the pinhole gave the clouds kind of an interesting fuzzy edge. Might be fun to try on a landscape. . . .

10 AM: Started the day with Brunch at Budd Bay Cafe. Shutter Speed 1/20; F/3.5; ISO 200

5 PM: Arrived at Fort Lewis and just happen to see this interesting character. Shutter Speed 1/40; F/8 ISO 200


10 PM: Watched the great Fireworks at Fort Lewis. Totally inexperienced taking photos of fireworks, I did quite a bit setting and changing apertures and shutter speeds. I know better for next year. This particular shot: Shutter Speed .13 secs; F/13; ISO 400



Just wanted to have a picture of the reason we have an Independence Day. Taken in less than ideal light, I wanted to highlight the Color Guard with the blured background passing of the State Flags. Shutter Speed 1/13; F/6.3 ISO 400

Pinhole camera picture- too blurry for me, but I didn't have the patience to play with it more. I like my lenses!

Andrea- Independence Day


10 p.m. neighborhood fireworks. They were putting on quite a show!

ISO 100 f/8 3 seconds w/tripod 29 mm

Andrea - Independence Day





At 5 p.m. my beagle was desperately wishing he could join in on the meal. Being the opportunist that he is, he began "sneaking" food off the kid's table as soon as they left.
ISO 250 f/2.8 1/500 29 mm

Andrea- Independence Day


At 10 a.m. my boys were doing one of their favorite summertime things...eating popsicles. And not just ordinary pops, but the "rocket pops" they had been waiting several days to eat!
ISO 250, f/4, 1/400, 24 mm

Shelley- Independence Day

We have a wedding in our yard in a couple of weeks. We worked all day in the yard. At 5:00 we were finishing the trim on the out building with the help of our cat. I was the "go for" and safety officer while Dave had the high job on a 30 foot ladder.

We didn't make if till 10:30!! We watched fireworks in our dreams!

Shelley- Independence Day

Breakfast with my sweetie and his oldest son at Jake's in Snohomish 10:00 am.

Jessica Little_My Independence Day

10 am - Family outing to get coffee and pastries. 

This flower post bloom reminded me of fireworks.  My son is in the background and the sign although blurred is likely recognizable by most people in the NW. 
f 6.3, 1/100 sec, ISO 500 (forgot to switch it from last outing), 61 mm


5 pm - Firecracker Pride


Reid was allowed to light his first firecrackers and man, did he feel like the big kid in the backyard.  For me, this image really captures that proud moment through the expression on his face, his posture, the lighter in hand and a slight haze of smoke still lingering in the background. 
f 5.6, 1/100 sec, ISO 100, 64 mm


10 pm - Fireworks


Tried to get some foreground trees, etc in this shot to give some perspective.
f 11, 4 sec on tripod, ISO 100, 17 mm
Another fun assignment Barb! 

Jessica Simon "My Independence Day"

Started the day sleeping in, so my 10am shot was a bit later. My first photo is my husband and I walking two of our four dogs...figured it would be tough to take photos while walking all of them!

My 5:00pm shot was again outside hanging with my crazy dogs who were harassing one of my cats, the dog running knows to run when the cat has had enough.














10:30pm we were shooting off fireworks at home and I was experimenting with shutter speeds.

Maureen's Fourth

Drew Rickman - 4th of July



The top image is me at work in the morning. My co-worker is in the shot doing everything, not me. The second image is of my dad and I cutting matte. And the third image was taken at Pattison Lake (sp?) from someone's deck.

Wes - July 4th 10:00pm



This was a hand held shot of my neighbor shooting fireworks

July 4 - Claire




The 10 am shot is of the squirrel in the cherry tree. It's a two-fer for the squirrel -- he can eat cherries and torture the dog!

Shot #2 is the tile saw - nothing too interesting here - 5 pm and trying to finish the floor.

The final shot is not fireworks - it is a shot of the colored solar light -- handheld. I thought it was interesting that the shutter was open so long that it caught all three colors.

Pin Hole Photo - James Steberg


4th of July - James Steberg

10:00am - was still sleeping



5:00pm - half way up Tumwater Hill



9:00pm - before Tumwater, WA, fireworks



10:30pm - Tumwater, WA, fireworks show

Dave - 4th of July





The first shot I took using a tripod. I set the timer then got into the hammock and started swinging to get a blurred hammock look.
The second was a family game of crocket, I was going for a good shadow shot.
The third was a shot across the bay looking at Boston Harbor. I also like the look I got from the neighbors playing with sparklers and tossing them into the water. It was dark so I used F2.8 at 30 seconds.

Deana's 4th of July

Deana's 4th Of July.....a busy and relaxing day. Spent the morning to Mid day helping a dear friend prepare for a move to NC. Started the day leisurely at home, by 5:00 a wonderful glass of wine at my in-laws and the fireworks display on Cooper Point!
