Weekly Assignment #77: Workplace

edited May 16, 2008 in Assignments
This class idea is to come out with an image of your workplace that could be used as a front cover of a some specialty magazine. It can be specializing in architecture, lawns, gardenining, interior design, IT - the choice is really yours. Important thing is - it has to be your actual worplace, interior or exterior, and the shot should be cover-worthy.
You'll know you're a winner if you show the image to the landlord and s/he would like to use it as an ad:-)
As always with this type of assignment, nice smart fake title and content is required.
Fresh images only. One entry per person. More PS is allowed than usual.
Let's get your workplace covered!
"May the f/stop be with you!"

    It doesn't say much, but here's the office/break room entrance.. I can't take pictures outside the shop, I'm military and I work out on the airfield... Stealth aircraft and all.... I COULD get a pic of the runway, but that would get the cops on me faster than It takes to get the pic. Air traffic control tower sees all..

    A little bit of PSing.. Sorry for the blur, I'm a shakey person..


    ENTER The CE Heavy Equipment/Airfield Maintenance shop!!

    Yeah, I understand "security"... Too bad you're so close to all this amazing material "stealth" and such and cannot produce anything that disclose it:-(

    However, I would sill like to see a bettter picture. I do believe it's possible to produce a truly great one without jeopardizing our national security ;-)

    ^Thanx for the help and tolerance, boss... I know most of my photography is mediocre at best.. But there's a LOT to learn hanging out with a bunch of Professional photographers.... mwink.gif I'll learn a LOT here, and I have already... Been here for about a year now.. I like these assignments, they make ya think.. thumb.gif Exercise that grey matter!!!

    My job is a challenging place to photog... Nothing really interesting (to me), nothing that really tells a story... -I'm learning that too!! I've got a lot to learn on that aspect.. I'm a construction worker, so I'm all over the place... We'll see what I can come up with this week.. I don't like to bring my camera to work very much.. THis is a VERY DUSTY climate, desert of southern NM... So I don't want to ruin a $1700 camera setup... Add in the fact of construction work and all.. I'll try to 'sneak' a shot of the RW in the morning... The sunrises here turn the mountains a magnificent shade of purple, on top of the fire clouds in the morning!!! bowdown.gif

    We'll see..

    Ok, here's my shot at this. This is/was an HDR experiment we tried in our work place, this is one of our 737 cockpit's. I'm not a graphic desighner by any means, but hey, it's all in fun right?

    edit: I might have misunderstood the rules. "Title and content" and "magazine cover" will explain the added text.
    5D3, 7D, 50 1.4, 580EX, EFS 70-200L 2.8 IS MkI, 1.4x TC, 24-70 MKII, 85 1.8,(that's it ...for now)
