* Assignment is open.
* Only photos that have been shot within the assignment date range are allowed.

* Photo size limit: 800px on the longest side
* Basically, photograph however you like and normally do…whatever photography is to you. As many (or few) bodies/lenses/formats//Post-processing as you’d like. Sticking to basic PP is encouraged, tho’.
* If you’d like, post brief but relevant photo information and note PP (if any) is done. Maintain EXIF data if possible.
* Keep comments on topic, constructive, and considerate.
* Have fun!!!

don't forget the homework people!!

My first try at startrails--didn't have the cable release with me, so this is 20 thirty second exposures stacked... works okay, but you can definitely see the "holes" between exposures.

Man, no cable release is just too much work!

Here's mine, unless I shoot something this weekend:


ISO 200, 28mm f/6.3, 5sec, off camera 430exII triggered manually.



ISO 200, 28mm f/6.3, 5sec, on camera 430exII w/ettl.

Oh hai guys, don't forget night shots!!

Playing with a fog machine in my driveway.

1.)


iso 200 f/9, 25sec exposure. Lighting was 3 LED portable light packs from our camping gear. (and 2 street lights)
Post was simple things, 10% desat on red and yellow channels, sharpening, a little cloning of a door chip I'm not proud of

2.)


iso 200 f/4,5 3 sec exposure. No flash, using same LED light setup as #1
Post was sharpening, some contrast and highlight tweaking, and a 25% blue filter effect to bring out the fog a bit more.

cool! The first one is a red x for me but maybe its because I'm at work.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33 | ISO 100 | f/2.8 | 4.6 mm (28 mm eq) | 6.0 sec | 2/10/2010 | Picasa tweaked contrast and desaturated.

Huh, that's odd, they're both in the same gallery.
Here's the direct link to that first one.

That's the problem, work blocks smugmug, but somehow it shows the 2nd.

This was taken at night, I promise... Scouts honor.. Oops, I wasn't a scout so I guess that doesn't count... Anyways, it was - you'll just have to trust me.

I trust you, that's cool!

I'm going to leave this open for a bit just to get people that may have shot something on Valentine's day but didn't post. The next homework will go up shortly.
