Today’s daily shoot assignment: Everyone loves food photos! Make a close-up photograph of food you’re enjoying on a Friday. Arrange for good lighting.
Broiled shrimp – that’s for dinner 🙂
Used couple of white boards to fill-in the shadows and used window lighting for shooting this.
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Get creative with abstraction today. Make a photograph of patterns and/or shapes that aren’t recognizable objects.
It’s a pattern but I’m not quite sure if this qualifies for abstraction…
07/16/10:
It’s a stainless steel dish rack by the sink. To give it a abstract feel, had the dish rack sit on a black cardboard and used another black cardboard for background. Used while reflector to make the steel shine 😉
Used Coffee shop’ creamy choc b/w action in PS during PP.
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Make a photo from a low point of view. Go for a dramatic effect by changing the appearance of the size of your subject.
Decided to shoot ‘little people’ again for today’s photo post with low point of view. If you remember, I had shot this for day-132. Back then I had shot this from eye-level using 50mm prime lens.
For this post, got this shot from Noah’s eye level and used Sigma 17-70mm at it’s lower end. To make this composition interesting, placed the boat with animals in the background – it just looks ‘huge’ with low point of view 😉
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Corners are everywhere. Make a photo of an interesting corner today, capturing its light and angles.
As I was in the quest for interesting corner, I found those ones on our fireplace mantel to be interesting.
I did multiple shots without flash and bounced flash. Later, after downloading found those without shadows (using bounced flash) to be boring and lacking any depth. I know shadows are something that photogs try avoiding in their shots.
But decided to go one with the harsh shadows, as they provide a nice depth that brings out the details on the woodwork on the mantel 😉
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Focus on a fragment of an object today. Make a photograph that only shows part of an object, not the whole thing.
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Find a scene that’s dominated by one color and make a photograph of it. Use light and shadow to accentuate detail.
When I saw this assignment this morning, what came to my mind of green leaves on our hydrangea bush. But later this morning as I was looking for other interesting things inside our house, I noticed dark shadows and domination of single color on our drapery. So decided to go with the drapery for this assignment.
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Who are you? Make a self portrait today and show the rest of us what you look like.
I didn’t see this coming from Daily Shoot…with self-portrait theme. I was debating myself if I should do self-portrait or something else. But in the end decided to go with the assignment. I think it’s always good to know the face behind the camera 😉
With my star helpers (read that as family) still vacationing, it was a bit of challenge setting this up. Used a stuffed doll to set the pre-focus, then used timer for this self-portrait shot. Last weeks ‘differential in light” assignment definitely helped me today for this shot.
I used my classic N6006 camera for this pose.
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Glass is a material that’s used in so many different ways. Make a photograph of a glass subject today.
I decided to go with abstract photography theme with todays daily shoot’ ‘Glass’ assignment.
We have this long stemmed glass that we had bought years ago and as I was deciding on pov while shooting this glass, looking it from the top presented an interesting pattern. It felt to me like a flock of tiny butterflies flying…
Towards the center – No it’s not self-portrait 😉 That’s my camera on tripod.
Today’s Daily Shoot Assignment: Make a photo with the number 4 in it one way or another. Maybe 4 items. Maybe a written number. Maybe more abstract.
When I saw this assignment this AM, I pretty much decided to shoot my radio alarm clock with display @4:00. But as I was thinking about this assignment this evening I want to try something with shallow depth of field – as I got inspired by viewing “17 Beautiful Images with Shallow Depth of Field” @Digital Photography School blog this morning.
So did some prep work by setting the radio clock to 4:44 and stacking up books (total of 4nos – 3 stacked and one in my hands). It was a mere coincidence that the book with the title A 4 step guide to getting unstuck ended up on the top and look closely – my left arm makes a 4 sign 😉
So, mission accomplished – got the daily shoot assignment done and so does my challenge to do a shot with shallow depth of field.
I promise – no more self-portrait for a while 🙂
Today’s daily shoot assignment: Look for an area with a big differential in light. Make a photo exposed for the brightest area, isolating a subject.
Yep that’s me staring at the monitor – you may call it a self-portrait 😉
I had a totally different idea for today’s daily shoot assignment with something to shoot in the backyard and that changed with the rain this evening. So as I was looking for differential in light indoor, I saw our bright monitor and decided to go with this self-portrait to incorporate the idea for today’s assignment – I have to admit, self-portrait was the last thing I had in mind.
I shot this in manual mode and took the meter reading based on the monitor (brightest area) and isolating the subject (that would be me).
This is SOOC and I like the way it turned out.
