New assignment! - Self

Assignment:  Take a self portrait of yourself that you are happy to show to others!  Use studio-lights or flash if at all possible - or at least do something creative with the light.  And just pretend that a friend has asked you to take a portrait of them, so you want to give the best photo back of the subject - its just the subject this time is you.

Rules: I'm hoping for a traditional portrait shot where you will be recognisable (mostly) so no backs of heads or complete silhouettes.  But so that we can be creative if you want lets set a boundary that at least one eye must be visible in the picture.

Deadline: End of day 28 June.
New Deadline: End of day 12 July (two weeks - to allow Aaron to celebrate 4th July without worrying! )

Kate gave me the idea for this when we were trying to find some new people to join, so lets try it.

Colours

I wanted to take some photos of bluebells but am a bit bored with the standard bluebell wood shot, so tried something a bit different. This is a zoom burst on a slow shutter speed. I also took some spinning around - think people thought I was a bit mad!

Colors

This is straight from the camera and cropped. I may try this shot later on with studio lights and some HDR techniques. This was a fun challenge. I took way too many shots of crayons!

So many different ideas for this - and so many different versions of this shot. I'll stick with this one I think.
Good challenge Aaron. Cant wait to see what you and Kate do.

New Assignment - Color

Color. This assignment ends on May 6, 2011. The assignment is very broad but I think it will be fun creatively.

Flower

So it's as simple as a Dandelion - but when you look closely its still amazing...

Flower

This was the ONLY flower that I found growing. I found it funny that the dandelion was rather nice looking and that in a weeks time I would begin my battle with mowing them down.
