April Assignment.

I'll just finalize this since April is mostly done.

3 Assignments (pick at least 2)

• Depth of Field
  
• Framing
• Action Shot
  

Since there isn't much time left lets try to get at least 1 or 2 of these 3. I'm not super sure what you meant by framing Poya so if you could clarify in the comments.

April Assignment?

I'm assuming there are a few more people on this blog who haven't submitted for March yet. But we should get going on April assignments. Let's quickly come up with a couple of topics and go with it. My suggestions:

- Framing
- Large DOF

March Assignments (Farshid)

Here are my clicks. Starting with my favorite (shocking I know!) is the b&w portrait of Carmel. I love this picture and I took it in color and turned it b&w in PS.




Next we have "green". Don't feel like I did much of an original work here, but it does the job. I should have been more creative, but it's easy to get laxy and just shoot something green when the deadline approaches. :)




And finally we have the oxymoron. This one was hard, but considering I relate to this situation frequently, it was the natural choice to shoot this.



As for adjustment, nothing except cropping and turning the portrait from color to b&w. Oh, yea, don't have a night shot to contribute this time around.

March Assignments (Dhabih)

So unfortunately, i didn't end up getting a photo for the Oxymoron challenge. The couple ideas I had, one i didnt have time to do, and the other i missed my chance. I was gonna take a picture of the snow with the cherry blossoms out front our house but it melted by morning. Looks like Sean already beat me too it anyway ;) So anyway here's the rest of mine:

Sajen being weighed

I'm including another shot i liked but decided not to submit as my main one :

I didn't have any night shots i really liked but since i wanted to post something here is the only one that looked interesting:

Night
Finall here is the Green one, from a flowershop in my building:

As far as touch-ups:

for the B&W i chose the green channel from the full color photo as my b&w image, other than that no photoshop.

For the Night shot i cropped and rotated it a bit

For the Green I had to boost the brightness a bit because i accidently had my camera taking -1 brightness pics and didn't realize it. I also took a little bit of the yellow out.

March Assignments (Poya)

Alright so here are my entries:

B&W portrait: I've looked at this way too much and not sure if it works. It definitely looks better in color. I also tried to crop out the distracting person in the background but it made the picture too...cramped. Any suggestions (besides photoshop action) is welcome.


Green: I did take this photo in March, but it's cheating a little since I took it after I found out about this blog. It's taken in Bahji


Oxymoron: This was very though. Couldn't think of much, and I don't know if the following can really be considered an oxymoron. I just thought having a big rock in the middle of a path was bizzare and interesting.


And here is one that didn't make it to the final cut:

Springless in Seattle

This is Seattle.

It's Spring, or so the cherry tree thinks...
But wait!
