Bits and Pieces

No easy way to explain this so above is an example of our next project. Due date Sunday April 8th. For this one I did it the old fashioned way. Real film, Dark room, Scissors and glue. The idea is to take allot of Little pictures and piece them together. This can be done by printing them as a contact sheet putting them all together and taking a picture, or for the more computer literate of us this can be done in Photoshop.
I had a friend at ASU that did this with his bike and a copy machine. He then put the life size picture of his beloved bike on the wall. It was pretty cool at the time.

A Series of Shapes

This will end Friday. Next weeks will be a free for all submit your best 2 pictures. I will be out of town all of next week so I will try to get something but cant make any promises.

Lines

All of the pictures are plants or trees with a little help from Photo Shop. Some are a little hard to see but all contain some straight lines.

This one is a vine even though it looks like a bloody heat.

How to Make a Killer Photo using 8 Simple Composition Rules

I have been trying to teach Kristy about this but she doesn't like me teaching her so here you go.

Rule of Thirds
This “rule” applies for everything: landscape, macro and portraits, but exception would be the classic portrait. This means that instead of placing the subject (main focus of interest) in the centre of the frame put it on an intersection of the thirds. For me it is much simple to consider this “mind drawing” where my subject is placed either in point 1 or 2 or 3 or 4:



Cropping
Sometimes cropping a subject to make the viewer focus on some specific detail is an extremely good idea. But other times, when it’s not about details, it’s good to have the entire subject inside the picture and don’t take a shoot as if the subject is just about to leave, but rather just about to come if it is not standing. If you are in hurry or not so sure about what you want and you also got a high megapixel camera, you can afford thinking about cropping after shooting in the post-editing process. Otherwise, get closer and if getting closer will scare away your subject (hehe) then use your zoom.

Parts of a Whole Deadline

I guess I forgot this important detail. The deadline will be next Thursday the 8th.

Block the trash

I found this today and it seems to work well. All you have to do is point your DNS to their site. So your internet traffic flows through the scrubit server and trash site get blocked. Its free but as a work of warning the site has a program you can install but my understanding is there is no uninstall for it. I dont like things that cant be uninstalled.
