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

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.

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.

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

Jessica Simon - Hidden Beauty


I met this pig at the Tumwater Pet Fair this weekend. Her hidden beauty was her pink toe nails:)

Jessica Simon - Panorama


Boy did I struggle with this because my tripod wouldn't move to get a panorama shot, but I got 3 shots to work. I took this shot in class and didn't have time to experiment outside of class yet.

Drew Rickman - Hidden Beauty


I pass this driveway everyday when I'm coming and going from my house. Most people probably think of it as just a driveway. But I think it is very nice, with the interlocking trees and patches of light they let through.
