March 2010 - Photography assignment - Light & shadow

[casil403]

After seeing Michael's post about signs, I though what a great idea photograph a sign that is amusing or strange.

Signs is cool but I'm wondering if they have to be funny? Might be hard for people in smaller communities?

Doesn't have to be funny, but most small places have the quirky sign in some shop window.

other ideas I had are:
1. humour in general
2. indoor shots
3. alphabet (maybe this was done before?)
4. book cover illustrations (JJJ's raven picture made me think of this)
5. street photography



Book cover could be as much fun as song titles.

I like book cover titles.
I'll throw in a few suggestions just to make things interesting....We can use them in other months also:
Black and white
Juxtaposition
Symmetry
Repeating Patterns
Light and Shadow

Creating a still life where lighting is a key factor, i.e. creates texture, form, mood. Here is an example of one photographer setting up still lifes to emulate the Dutch Masters paintings for example:
beauty comma: , dutch masters? (http://beautycomma.blogspot.com/2009/09/dutch-masters.html)

I'm into book covers and light and shadow.


Many of these other ideas are good too but lack wide appeal. I'll always go with the majority (wide appeal or not)... but it's SO much nicer when the suggestion has wide appeal, because we'll get many many many more posts that way. This month is a GREAT example. :twocents:

I vote for light and shadow as it will cover the 'still lifes where lighting is a key factor' idea as well.

I would like

book covers
or
humour in general

:thumbup:

Actually I think it would be great if we alternate between a technique style assignment like light and shadow and then the following month something creative like book covers. This way we stretch our abilities in two ways.

I agree, because honestly I could take just about any photo on my computer right now and in the future and find a book title that it would illustrate.

Greg makes an excellent point!

so how do people feel about light and shadow? I know it would be a challenge for me, but that's a good thing

I'm flexible... I'll go with whatever the group decides.

Light and shadow work for me...book titles we can do next month if the group decides. :)

We could also call it light or shadow.


We could also call it light or shadow.

this has my vote!! :clap:

Light and shadow has the most support - merging suggestion posts now.

Thx for all the suggestions everyone!!

Ok then - who is posting first :)

Good start to the assignment:thumbup:

[Marko]

Nice one Jas! Great start indeed!

[casil403]

I have always liked these shadows...they look like tire tracks! :)

[casil403]

Nice stuff B!
i took this yesterday on the way home... I know I've photographed her a lot and It's not b/c I am a particularly religious person. She is in a place I like to go and just sit when I have things to work out....I think everyone has one of those places.
When I was at one of my very lowest moments several months ago...recent split-up. new job, still burn out from the other one, new career/school about to start, I was pretty messed up. I went to this place and just sat not knowing where I was at, or going, or what to do....but I had to try and figure out how to get right with myself. I sat on the bench in front of her and just said to myself please give me some kind of indication that what I am going through right now..... all this change..... is the right path and things will get better if I just hunker down and go through this head long, head first.
I swear as I am alive today that right after I said this a rabbit popped out of the little bushes in the garden and sat right in front of me about 3 feet away. It wasn't afraid and it didn't run off...but it just sat there and looked at me. So there we all sat, Me, Mary and the rabbit...no one moving...and for some reason I knew that I would be okay. Finally after a few minutes, the rabbit moved on and so did I, literally and figuratively.

So that's why I like to photograph her. :)

Sorry for rambling on....it was just a story I thought I would share. :o

Dog caught in the headlights of a fast car !

[casil403]

Those are both neat Jimmy....I am particularly fond of the first one! :)

[jumpinjimmyjava]

Hey thanks Lisa. I really like your Mother Mary photo. Just remember time heals all. You seem well on your way to better times - jimmy :)

[jumpinjimmyjava]

Formerly raiven, I really like your "Spires' photo. Sooo well done - jmmy :)

[jumpinjimmyjava]

It sure does Bambi. Love the puffy clouds and peaceful surroundings - jimmy :)

[jumpinjimmyjava]

Yes, I smuggled my D700 into my cell. I will be out in 5 years with good behavior ! :shrug::shrug::shrug:

[Bambi]

Lisa, loved the story. Just glad that the rabbit didn't pull a pocket watch out of his pocket and say "I'm late, I'm late for a very important date!":eek:

Nice pictures Jimmy. Love the leaves. Jas, I like the perpsective on yours :)

looks to be another good assignment month.

the play of light and shadow through the crystal candle holders on a glass table from the front windows just happened to catch my eye

[casil403]

Nicely done Ed! Funny I thought for a second there they were door handles. :)

[JAS_Photo]

Nice capture, ed!

[Richard]

Not had a lot of time of late to post...

Very nice image, Richard.

Thanks jas :)

When the sun is harsh and unfriendly, what else can you do but play with shadows?

I was out driving around shooting in the country side and of course when the light was getting beautiful I needed to use "the facilities" so I quickly went to a small town service station. When I came out I noticed the light on the drifts and rail tanks.Had to shoot em.

I hope this goes to the right Thread:evil2:
(Admin moved this post for you)

[casil403]

I always love how the light and shadow play on this building in the afternoons! the result of reflections of another building. :)

[Richard]

That is a cool shot casil, The angle makes me feel like I'm falling into it...

[casil403]

Thank you Richard :)

[Wicked Dark]

That is a great building and your tilted angle sets it apart as interesting even apart from the texture and light themselves. Well executed.

Here's one from my Devil's in the Details collection - it's an old meeting house door handle in the morning. Taken last fall -

Very cool light on the train cars and silos! I remarked on it before but it got lost in the transport.

[JAS_Photo]

The side lighting really makes the texture on that door show up well, WD. Nice work.

[Bambi]

I was poking around a grove of spruce and loved the light pattern:

[edG]

Noticed these shadows the other day when I was out shooting

[Iguanasan]

With the sun finally making an appearance this weekend I was able to catch Goldine basking in the sunlight.

[edG]

noticed the light patterns on the rug coming from the front bow window and shot this.

[Iguanasan]

Nice shot, edG! I don't think he's a stranger though. I'm sure you see him quite often ;)

[jjeling]

Nice image, stranger.

[jumpinjimmyjava]

Another cemetery find :)

[Wicked Dark]

The headless angel (cherub?) is pretty great. I like the texture in the snow, too.

Went up Mt. Kearsarge today and found these jagged shadows near the top -

Hey thanks Wicked. I think I like this edit better though. Hey it looks like Mt. Kearsarge gets crazy winds. Great shot - jimmy :)

Thanks Iggy and JJ.
Cool compositions JJJ

Some cool photos turning up in here :) I could easily comment positively on them all.

I like that last one Casil ... the golden bricks and shadows work well.

[Iguanasan]

Light and shadow play on some rocks I found while I was out on Sunday past.

A shot of a clock in our family room inherited from my mother-in-law. It has been pouring rain here for the last couple of days and I am running around the house looking for shots.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4011/4431236417_84505503dd_o.jpg

[Bambi]

it's a neat clock. I bet you could take lots of perspectives on this one.

You can also go out in the rain :) or take moody pictures looking out a window.

[edG]

thanks Bambi - been out in the rain, but not with the camera (little paranoid about getting it wet right now). Decided to try a detail of the clock face and hands with a little post thrown in

Another page full of variety within this assignment!

[AntZ]

Great work guys. Better get my lazy butt in to gear and do something for this one.

[Marko]

The takes on the theme are so interesting.
Took this one this weekend.

That looks like a lot of work to set up Marko! Pretty cool.

[Iguanasan]

Welcome to the forum. That's a nice start. I like the composition and the tones ;) I'd be interested to know if you got one with everything in focus or her face in focus?

[reedflutesong]

Welcome to the forum. That's a nice start. I like the composition and the tones ;) I'd be interested to know if you got one with everything in focus or her face in focus?

Well, that is my daughter, she is 12 and was not "in the mood" to be photographed (her face at least). She posed willingly enough and had fun but didn't want her face and hair in the image at that time. So no is the answer to that one. I will catch her in a more face friendly mood and ask her to help me reshoot that one and try it.

[QuietOne]

Whether you got light or shadow would depend on which one you chose.

Or here's a more usual take on the subject:

6022

Oh, um, hi. I'll get a message into the intro forum next. And please let me know if the pictures didn't get into the message. It's been a looooong time since I participated in any kind of forum.

Nice additions QuietOne...great to see you jump right in! Welcome to the forum!:highfive:

I liked the tiny light and shadow on this blade of grass when I saw it.

Haven't taken many photos lately. In the process of moving and my good computer with all my programs has been sent weeks ago. Didn't have my password for here. I have no furniture but a mattress..lol. Life is rough..;)

[QuietOne]

The double mesh and double shadows caught my eye. A number of trees along the path are wrapped with chicken wire to protect them from the beavers. One of the apartment residents has seen one, and I've seen at least two dens. The protection works - the trees tend to fall down on their own...

6045

[QuietOne]

And another fallen tree. Pretty much anything that isn't a hazard to walkers or rafters is left to recycle itself. There are a number of logs I take photos of several times a year. On this one, it's hard to tell where the shadow leaves off and the silvered wood starts.

6047

[QuietOne]

I'm not looking for light and shadow subjects at every turn, honest! It's just that all these subjects force me to notice them, and then, well, I just have to take their pictures.

Hi Kat. Wow that's a very intense portrait. Well done. Cheer up, things will get better :) - jimmy

[jumpinjimmyjava]

Super photo reedflutesong. It draws a person right in - jimmy :)

[QuietOne]

MA, I saw the lights reflected in the lens glass and my first thought was of seed beads. But I imagine those would interfere with getting any kind of photo.

I like your other photo, too, especially the way the light and shadow is off center. The picture on the tin immediately triggered a poem I hadn't thought of in years:

"I never saw a purple cow;
I never hope to see one;
but I can tell you anyhow;
I'd rather see than be one!"

The author eventually hated it, because it got 'overplayed', and a number of people did their own versions of it.
Purple Cow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Cow)

Ain't Google wonderful?

[Mad Aussie]

Bambi ... it IS a heavy lens to hold! My hand is always under it while shooting and holding the tripod mount (which I flip to the top side) when walking.

QuietOne ... those 'seed beads' are actually the reflections of the LED light I was using. It has 3x 3watt Cree LEDs in a triangle pattern in the head which is what you are seeing. The different colours come from refraction as it passes through the glass elements inside the lens I guess.
Always nice when an image invokes something from one's memory :)

[jumpinjimmyjava]

Hey Mad. Wow that is quite the lens. Super quality. Only wish I had one. In photography size does matter :laughing: - jimmy

Ah ... self portrait shadow Bandit.

There's something big sticking off your head mate :)

This one was a bit funny. My 3yr old (small shadow) who always says after I take a photo, "Have a look?" was quite confused by what I showed him :)

Thanks MA, Casil.

Nice one Casil. Is that the tower again in the BG? :)

[Richard]

That is a cool shot Antz, what are you holding in your free hand?

[masp]

Nice shot Casil. The composition and rich colors are nice.

[casil403]

Is that the tower again in the BG? :)


Yes..sigh....yes it is....it's like the Diana Ross of the Supremes...always trying to get it's mug in there and steal a bit of the limelight from the other players. :headslap:
I'm going to make up a game based on "Where's Waldo" but using the tower instead..:laughing:

Btw...Thanks for the kind comments gang too.

[AntZ]

That is a cool shot Antz, what are you holding in your free hand?

Thanks.
Its actually just my hand..just in case it was thrown in a direction I didnt want :). It looks long because of the time of day.

It is hard to leave out a part of Calgary that is as much a part of it's identity as a white stetson.

[jumpinjimmyjava]

Very cool shadow capture AntZ. It's amazing how interesting simple subjects can be. Well done - jimmy :)

Hi Richard,
Nope it was a B&W conversion. I did however replace the sky with a slightly more dramatic one.

Thanks Buddy :)

[u666u]

Mad Aussie love your brush shot Gale

[QuietOne]

Casil, your picture forced me to (finally) look up the difference between a bison and a buffalo. Short answer is, they're the same thing in North America, and not quite the same thing as the ones in Africa and Asia. Nice shot, and nice statue. Do the kids rub its nose until it's shiny?

I've been wanting to try this photo for a long time and got a chance last night. The World War I statue is in Central Memorial Park in Calgary, in front of an old sandstone building which is a public library. The plaque inscription, which is sharp in the original but has lost clarity in the flickr upload, reads:
To the imperishable glory of the men of this province who fought and died for their king and country in the great war 1914-1918
Erected by Col. Macleod Chapter I.O.D.E.

I guess shower curtains are good for something besides keeping the floor from getting wet.

Some really nice work posted in this assignment! Here's a simple mountain scenery, but I kinda liked the play between the dark mountainside and the colored clouds.
