WOW! Busssssyyyyyy!
All weekend was a blur of working on assignments. Let's see I worked on a rough draft of an essay on Karsh's development techniques as they relate to what we know in the darkroom, worked on a shooting assignment for Ross, called same place different time, and my Creative imaging class where I need to do a series of photo's (at least 5) that explore a topic. I've chosen to explore women in their 40's and their identity from their youth till now. Should be interesting , I'll post the results in a couple of weeks. The great part of the weekend is that I got to catch up with my high school friend who is now 7 months pregnant and is expecting twins. Here are some updated shots.
This weeks board assignment was Nightscapes. It was really interesting as it was a real learning experience. I went to Waterfront drive and took the shot looking toward downtown. It took about 20 shots and 2 trips to get good focus. I went back the second time after I googled helpful tips. I think the key was to not only use the tripod but also to set a self timer as to avoid any motion. I did think any slight vibration will also effect blur and I was on a small lookout platform in strong wind. I also had attempted a Nightscape in my home and tried a few ideas with the Christmas tree. Not a great Nightscape but some cool zoom effects! I especially like the way the needles and ornaments appear to be rotating around the tree, and you gotta love the neighbors snowman!).
