Assignment #17: Windows
![Nikolai](https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/uploads/customavatars/0/navatar_1200.jpg)
Wow, and I thought specular highlights would be a tough one. But judging by the number of entries it was a walk in the park:-)
Anyway, let's do something different this week: let's shoot windows!
I don't mean all-familiar OS :wink .
I mean the actual windows: in the buildings, barns, churches, cars, vessels - you name it.
From the outside or inside - whatever you think is a good shot.
Try to find an interesting one, but most of all, make your window (or windows) the primary subject of your shot.
As always: fresh pictures only, moderate PS is OK.
For the rest of the basic rules and index please check out this sticky.
Who said photographers don't do windows? :wink :rofl

Very nice, great entry!
More will come...
It gave me some work.
I had to shoot for the landscape while getting the inside.
For great depth of field I used the CPF and the ND to use f/22 with 1/15 as I can remember.
The focus was to the window itself.
I used a reflector which was on the ground (!).
RAW of course, and this is the melting of 2 pics: one for the inside and another to the outside, layer mask, erase etc
Beautiful way to approach this subject! WTG!
I suspected I was not telling the hole truth. I used flash slow sync.
Model: Canon EOS 20D Size: 3661x2480 Bytes: 2516624 Aperture: f/20.0 ISO: 200 Focal Length: 24mm Exposure Time: 0.0769s (1/13) Flash: Flash fired, compulsory flash mode, red-eye reduction mode Exposure Program: Manual Exposure Bias: 0 ExposureMode: 1 White Balance: manual ColorSpace: sRGB
I shot 3 pictures with exposure bracketing and used one of them.
It was manual because I needed to lock the light measured outside.
Antonio, that means sick, ill, feeling bad, lousy, not up to par, etc
I took two shots today (wow, on a roll now).
A dirty window with, yes, specular highlight!
and a cool window sunset from my Oldsmobile Bravada

I like your pictures. Best the 2.ed one.
The 1.st one - you must confess - is not very good. I say: it is not for your standards !
You do - yes Sir you do - photograph far better than this.
You have an excuse this time.
Be Healthy !!!
BTW: Thank you for telling me what to be under the weather is ! You did well because I didn't know.
Thanks Antonio....I wasn't going to post it because it was such an ugly shot. Sorry.....it really is a bad shot isn't it.....I guess Superman has been exposed to Kryponite....uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggghhhhhhhhh.

Thanks for the entries! It's funny how #17 is easy to merge with #16 :-)
Way less technical than Antonio's shot, it also merges with the previous class subject, specular highlights, just like Swartzy's..
Minor ACR curves fun...
But nice shot Nik
I was going for abstract:-) :ivar
Oh come on Nik ...
Windshield window at sunset:
Prolly would make a Reflection entry, too:-)
Thanks for the entry! It definitely works!
Sorry for the late reply, buried at work...
Nice set of... all those things:-)
Welcome to the Class, thank for the entry!
I shot this barn window last Sunday. I did a bunch of selective masking, etc... to it, then I noticed this assignment, so I re-did it more in the spirit of the assignment using only selective de-sat and some curves adjustments and a little dodge/burn

Those are pretty cool, thanks a lot!
I realize we're on the next assignment already, but wanted to take a few windows shots and post those before moving on (been writing papers all week so it put me a lil behind).
1, 2, 4 and 5 were taken at the Valparaiso University Chapel.
3 was taken at the Valparaiso University Center for the Arts.
Edit: photos were taken on Dec. 10th, 2006 w/ my Rebel XTi.

Those are pretty darn good windows if you ask me:-)
Now let's see how mysterious can you be:-)
i caught the reflection of this building...
Let us know if you have any questions. See my signature on how to do most anything around here.

Welcome to the Dgrin and to the Class!
It's totally fine to start fresh, ashes to ashes, you know...
Thanks for the entries!
I took this with the assignment in mind; it was back on 21 December when I went into Tokyo to see an exhibition of paintings from The Hermitage. This is a window at the Art Gallery, with sculpture in the courtyard.
Only got around to editing it today... can't do anything about the bendy bricks. ;>þ
