I want one of these.

I'm charging my camera batteries tonight, looking forward to finding what I can find. Shooting tomorrow for sure.

Until then, here's one...

win38...try turning off AWB and use a custom one for indoors under incandescent or fluorescent lighting.

[Win38-55]

The only thing I watch on that is the barometer. I counted over 40 circles in those gear pictures. What are they from?

[Win38-55]

I just held a finger over the flash to keep glare down. Not sure what AWB is, where might I look for it. Sony MVC-FV200. I am listening to music, A String Cheese Incident, but I have no Average White Band. :D

[rutt]

I just shot these for the Fred Miranda WA tools, but they'll work here as well.

This is a Lieca IIIf, circa about 1950. My all time favorite photographer, Cartier-Bresson (http://www.afterimagegallery.com/bresson.htm), used this model for his pictures after the war (he upgraded when this model came out and rumor had it that he never upgraded again). He never used anything other than the 50mm f2 lens (and no cropping!) He wrote that he would have liked to shoot in color, but the film wasn't good enough (I think he meant fast enough.)

[hutchman]

Well as we all know, the equipment does not make the photographer. These are the 1st shots from the new 10d. It is going to take a while to learn this thing, but it will be a blast while I'm learning.

1st: A picture of a new version of some classic circles. Mud on the bumper and all!

http://hutch.smugmug.com/photos/3108169-L.jpg

The next picture comes from just up the street from me. See how may circles you can count in this one! A great big ADVrider Salute to the winner!

http://hutch.smugmug.com/photos/3108262-L.jpg

The next shot is for all of you who live in the wet part of the country. This is a center pivot irrigation device. One of many that dot the landscape in this part of the country. If you have ever flown over the dryer parts of the western US and noticed green circles on the the ground, they are caused by one of these. Hence the name, "circle."

http://hutch.smugmug.com/photos/3108167-L.jpg

The next circle is something we all use every day.

http://hutch.smugmug.com/photos/3108171-L.jpg

Yes it's wheel. (more correctly tire and wheel) However, most of us don't have their wheels attached to something like this:

http://hutch.smugmug.com/photos/3108170-L.jpg

They have monster trucks and mud boggers running tonight indoors. I guess I'll have to see what kind of pics this thing will take there.

Wow, that brick shot is way cool. Is that far below or a macro? Looks like a industrial version of a Van Gogh sunset. O.k. maybe not, but it was the first thing that came to mind.


Here's my first attempt at high speed shots which are circular so it counts! Thank God for digital cams so that I could take the 10 I mean 250 shots it took to get a half a dozen that I liked!

[SteveO]

For the high speed shots I set the shutter speed at 1000, this is 1/1000th of a sec right? Messed with the ISO which didn't seem to make a difference. Used regular flash to stop the image. And perched the camera on a homemade tripod of a few coasters.

The food coloring/water ones were taken in a white bowl nearly full of water and I was dropping the water by hand using a peice of hose for an aquarium air pump. The first shot was no food color, the second two of course had red.

The last shot was coffee landing in much more shallow water in a blue bowl. The drops also came from farther up. I cuoldn't reach high enough to manually drop the coffee, so I rigged up an acclimation hose from the old aquarium. (This is a piece of 1/4" vinyl hose with a valve on the end to control the drip speed. I was having bad luck on the timing, so I sped up the drip to about 3 per second, then I hit a decent shot much more often.

All shots were manual focus.

All in all, it was pretty fun. Next I'll have to go out and get some apples and a 22!

Waxy, how'd you blend it?

Ian

I used the digital blending from Luminous Landscape. Then Zero-Zero figured out he might have made a mistake.

I used it on the sign - it's impossible for a digicam to properly expose both the neon sign, and also the interior of the restaurant. So I made exposures for the people, and also for the sign. Then blended the dark sign onto the light interior. Also some other stuff to fix the wicked white balance... but that's quick work.

Here's the link (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=392) to our thread, with Z-Z's correct directions.

You gotta have your paintbrush colors as black and white. If you use the black paintbrush, you reveal the darker image. And If you use the white paintbrush, you reveal the light image.

Here's the link (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/digital-blending.shtml) on Luminous Landscape.

Mine may not be an award winning photo, but I'm proud that both the sign and the interior of the restaurant look as crisp and as correct as they do.

Very nice! I'm always jealous of the visual richness portrayed in your shots.

[damonff]

Thanks Rutt. The whole display was even cooler but this was a good circle.

[rutt]

One porblem with this assignment is that it's all too easy to end up with circles without really meaning to. THere are so many circles.

I wan't thinking about circles at all when I took this:

http://rutt.smugmug.com/photos/3108019-L.jpg

I did mean to take this. I don't think it's nearly as interesting as the unintended circles:

My first submission since installing Gentoo. I think you guys might be blown away with the new tools (or the new look at least? I need to get back to my research once I've got the OS better situated) I'm finding in GIMP (specifically, new dialog boxes opening up with this emerge of the GIMP prior to the latest - unstable, IIRC - GIMP upgrade; specifically "Layers, Channels, Paths" all in one box). In any event, I took these last weekend, and may be hitting the glassy orbs later this week.. so much to do, so much to do. This was taken with the 0.3 neutral density filter, shutter speed of 1/1000, can't recollect my aperture-f/stop setting. :dunno (I'm so bad about this sort of thing..)

Oh yeah! <smacks forehead> I used the STARSIX filter for this one, too! Sheesh.

[Seamaiden]

And another angle, this one only needed a bit of despeckle and resizing.

Hiya DD...nice shots, but the idea behind the assignments is to get you out and shoot fresh stuff, not dig into your archives.

Ya I know, that's why I delayed going to work and just started shooting in the shop. A mix of both. I promise teacher, I will take fresh shots from now on. Please forgive me, oh wise and scaly one.

Heading across to neighbors farm to make some crop circles.

People apparently loooove geometric shapes. The response to this assignment has been overwhelming.

Here's your photo assignment for this week: Circles.



Photos must be fresh - taken this week, not stuff you've got hanging around on your computer.
Circles means the primary focal point of your image should be a circle of some sort.
Have at it.




Advanced spin: Use a 50mm focal length only. Post EXIF data if you are submitting for this category.

Here's my entry.... Titled "Lust"
Shot on a mirror with an over head light source at 100 asa, f11...
Hope it's ok.

I like that a lot, DD. Contrast is great, and it speaks to my inner motorhead.

Try this one, no motorhead content but grabbed a meter long pipe and shot through it.

:wave Hiya DD, what took you so long? :lol3

OK, this shouldn't count, but 'cause I haven't been able to shoot much, it's gonna hafta. I'm counting the traffic lights as circles. So there.

[peachmaan]

And it's not because of these.....

[peachmaan]

And if it was I'd run into one of these stores.....(pharmacy in "germish")

[peachmaan]

And I wouldn't be driving either or.....

[peachmaan]

I'd probably jump of a bridge to cool my head, and somebody probably would throw one of these after me.....

[peachmaan]

Not willing to get out of the water , swimming around I'd see this

[peachmaan]

Being cold getting out of the water.... I'd lite on of these

[peachmaan]

Being exhausted, getting home , I'd see stuff like this

[peachmaan]

Finally home I'd put on some nice music.....

[peachmaan]

Listening, I'd think of stuff like this, the art of making houses look reeaalyy pretty!!

Many good picts..... after page 6 or 7 I started to feel sorta dizzy...
I like that pipe shot pretty much , and Fishs readiness for ..hmm ...WW3 ? :scratch

[Rolling Stone]

Holy cow Waxy, there's a triangle in there, been hunting for one of those since yesterday. More surprises this evening from DirtDOG land. L8er.

http://wxwax.smugmug.com/photos/3215608-M.jpgI love your night shots waxy.. I'm gonna do some one day when I find some night and life together. I thought of you yesterday when I took five portraits of my old folks (a first) and left my ISO on 800 and my white bal on sun.. (I was under light bulbs)... from what I remember I"m not the only one who forgets to change settings until after the shoot.:rofl I wondered why they were dark and grainy.

[Seamaiden]

Finally home I'd put on some nice music.....
Ahh.. a man after my own heart! If you haven't got it, you must pick up "Motorcade of Generosity". One of my faves on that CD "Mr. Mastodon Farm".

Good point.... !!!
I was outside today killing the last picts on the film getting it develloped and scanned by a friend.. So, no new assignment I thought combining the last few assignments... triangles, circles, moving objects, and squares?? wasn't a bad Idea.. Laterz

Great work on this assignment, kids! Off you go.
