2008-04-29T23:53:00.003-04:00

Sorry for not being able to post but I've been away for an extended period of time. I've done my best to keep up to date with the class work. I'm having a bit of trouble with assignment # 6 and am still working on it. Tonight I will be post assignments 4,5,7,and 8.

In my first attempt at this assignment I didn't invert just pasted in my mirrored images. I've inverted them and here are the results.

sure real art

Digital Photography MOD 2

2007-12-21T21:26:00.001-05:00

Congratulations To All,

I had a chance to review all our posting to the blog today and it's amazing to see the improvement from beginning to end. From the beach, to light & shadows, to macro, to portraits and finally our surreal creations, we should all be pround of our accomplishments. Thanks to all of you for your comments and sharing your work with me. I really enjoyed everyones work. I for one will never say a photo is just a photo. For one thing, I now realize just how difficult it is to get a great shot. I have to admit that luck plays a role in that you need to be at the right place at the right time but more importantly is being able to open your eyes. By opening our eyes we are able to see that special effect that results in a great photo. Each week we were challenged to open our eyes to a different photo enviornment and now each time I see a great photo I will looking to see what features made it great.

Thanks Jerry, for opening my eyes and Happy Holidays to All

Atheneum Site

2007-12-20T19:29:00.000-05:00

I'm trying to upload my works of art from the Atheneum site. I'm not sure how to get my work uploaded. I entered the URL labels but it doesn't seem like the anthing came up. I'm going ahead with the post just to see what happens. If anyone who has uploaded from Atheneum please respond as to you did it. Thanks After completing the post. If you click on the X my works from the Atheneum site will come up. Sorry I haven't been able to find a way to save them to my computer yet.

Happy Holidays

2007-12-20T17:52:00.000-05:00

Hello all,

Well it is time to say farewell to you all. I wish you all a wonderful and safe holiday.

This and That

I just added a few more pictures...just in case...

The Power of Editing....

2007-12-20T12:48:00.000-05:00

Hi All,

Digital editing tools like Picasa give us powerful means to improve our images... Take a look at the improvement to the portrait of Michell just below... There were problems of exposure and color balance due to the low light and mix of light sources as well as a fair bit of digital "noise" from the low light as well.... Converting to B and W to deal with the color issues and opening up the dark tones a bit makes this shot even better.

Hey all! I have enjoyed this class. It has taught me a lot about my camera and pictures and angles. I have fun taking pictures! These are photos of nieces. They were happy to be in front of the camera. If people are still interested in hearing my music my myspace is (www.myspace.com/starakagingin ) you should be able to hear my music. If not just give an email address and I will keep you posted on performance dates in CT and NY. I'm auditioning for Apollo in NYC look for me soon!! This has been a great semester and I wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!!!

Portraits

2007-12-19T22:17:00.000-05:00

Hey all, I was finally able to get my "portrait" pictures taken today. The subjects are two bearded collies, "Piper" and her son "Marley." It was an experience trying to get them to cooperate... next time I'll take Jerry's advice and stick to people... Anyway, enjoy!

The Hands Of Time

2007-12-19T19:12:00.000-05:00

This took me a lot of time to get uploaded. I like this picture and you have to look real close to see what is in it!! Enjoy...

Disregard Previous Sites

2007-12-19T18:34:00.000-05:00

Hi all,
The flickr site given last night is not right here is the site that I copied from it http://www.flickr.com/account my user name is yankeegurl_2000.

Week 6

2007-12-19T18:15:00.000-05:00

Hopefully this will work I have more portraits on Fotothing.

Macro Shots & use of Picasa

2007-12-19T16:33:00.000-05:00

Hi, finally got a chance to play around in Picasa. The tools are easy to use and the results are endless. These are some Marco shots take I took this afternoon. All but one has been altered using the Picasa tools. I used the crop, rotate, straighen,tint and tunning tools to name a few.

Catching Up!

2007-12-19T15:37:00.000-05:00

Hi everyone, Just trying to catch up a bit. I reached my max on my fotothing account and I have alot to catch up on.... plus, I thought I'd share my latest!

2007-12-19T14:03:00.000-05:00

Here's my favorite cousin Diare. I positioned him on top of my sofa. The light reflecting on him was from the Balcony. It's a pretty big sliding door so the light was perfect for me. I thought it would look good with the Yellow swirls painted on my wall. Not to much or to little., The first pick gave a little more light then the second one! I played with the blinds to get the fit. Hope you all enjoy. It was a little harder than I imagined . Something so simple as getting light was still hard! LOL I made it happen though.

2007-12-19T13:25:00.000-05:00

I took these pics at Home Depot. I thought they were going to have plenty to chose from but apparently not. I love color so I tried to capture the most I could find.

Surrealist Work

2007-12-18T23:32:00.000-05:00

Hey guys, these are my best efforts in the surrealist medium. They aren't great, I'm not as creative as some of you! Anyway, hope you enjoy them!

Oops!

Re: Surreal Masterpieces

2007-12-18T22:15:00.000-05:00

Hello all,

Well I was unsuccessful in posting my pics on fotothing. So I had to post them on flickr. For all who want to view you may visit yankeegurl_2000@flickr.com. By the way it has been a pleasure taking this class and sharing pictures with you all. Have a wonderful holiday, good luck, and God Bless.

time after time

2007-12-18T21:25:00.000-05:00

This was a fun experience, very different. I want to try anther one...

Surreal Masterpieces

2007-12-18T21:16:00.000-05:00

This is what I came up with so far. I am trying to post more on Fotothing, but unable to because the pics are not in JPG format. So I am in the process of trying to figure out how to change them over. In the meantime I hope you all enjoy.

2007-12-18T13:02:00.001-05:00

I am so sorry I have been neglecting you all. It has been so busy with registration beginning for MOD 3. I am posting this weeks assignment and I will try to catch up on last weeks. Everyone is really doing some fantastic things!!. As you see I don't have much of an imagination, this was harder than I thought!!

2007-12-18T10:57:00.000-05:00

I needed to save my uploads to my fotothing account, so I could catch up. So, here are some additional projects for this week.

I really enjoyed doing this assignment and enjoyed seeing what everyone else created. It's very dream like and imaginative!

2007-12-17T23:19:00.000-05:00

I think I finally got the hang of it.

As you finish up your assignments, I thought it would be helpful to you to have a checklist to use to go over your assignments. I'll be doing the grades later this week and I'll be using this to go by. I know some of you have fallen behind and I want you to know that it is okay to make up the work and not be penalized. In the future, I will institute a week by week grade for each student to help you stay on track. There is a link on the right in the links section and here it is as well:

http://jnevins.com/digitalphotographyrubric.htm

As you know, there is a 5 image per day limit to the free version of fotothing. If that is a problem for you, you can either upgrade your acct to pro, or open another account at another Photo sharing site such as flickr.com, www.kodakgallery.com and the like... they are free.

Thanks Jessica... I posted Ryan's portrait as a great example of the window light project on the criteria ckecklist.

So Sureal

2007-12-16T20:44:00.000-05:00

I would be happy if I could paint or draw any one of the back drops. This was a blast playing with the software. The possibilities are limitless.

Fake Fotos

2007-12-16T18:35:00.000-05:00

I had a good time with this week's assignment but I could not upload any of them to my fotothing account even though I saved them as both bmp and jpg files so if anyone has any suggestions, I will gladly take them. I actually named my pictures. They are All Seeing, Rings of Fire, Smokescreen, Time Flies, Airplane Fantasy, Apple Martini, Checkerboard Square and Eclectic. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed my classmates contributions.

2007-12-16T14:34:00.000-05:00

Ok, now this was AWESOME!!! I wish we could've done more of this type of work! I never even knew these types of sites were available.

I had a lot of fun using the different color variations, images and my imagination.

I had some trouble trying to figure out how to save it, but I finally did. I had so much fun, I may try to do another one!

I may not have an eye with a camera, but I think I've got something here!

Hope you like it as much as I do!

Portraits

2007-12-15T21:56:00.000-05:00

The first picture is of my dog, Lulu. The second shot was of my boyfriend, Jay, when he was sleeping. (If you look close enough, you can see he is still holding on to the remote control. ) And the last picture is of the both of them. I could tell they were both annoyed with me by the end of the night.

Final Week!

2007-12-13T23:08:00.000-05:00

We are getting down to the end, everyone...Grades have to go in next week on Thursday the 20th... So be sure to check off all of the assignments and make sure you have several good ones from each week... at a minimum, they need to be sharp (usually) and exhibit a sensitive appreciation of light (no flash and most indoor light from lights).... I have responded to each image I felt was worthy of credit in your fotothing portfolios.

Our last project is fun and gets you to play with composited images and and dreamscapes... It is hard to combine images without photoshop and so I have asked you to head over to the Wadsworth Atheneum site where they have kept up a very cool java application that lets you create your own surreal masterpieces in no time... Read my instructions carefully how to capture it and post it here and to your fotothing acct. Basically you press "print screen" on your computer keyboard (pc's)... that puts the whole screen in the computer's memory as an image then you need to open paint (start>all programs>accessories>paint. Now paste (edit>paste) the screen shot in and use the square select tool and outline your image. Next go edit>copy to and name your file and save it to a place where you can find it again... From there you can up load it to here and fotothing...

Here is an example from a previous Mod....

Here's the link to the painter site:

Have fun!

Week 6 Portraits

2007-12-12T23:10:00.000-05:00

My subject for this week is our dog Honey. She is a Bichon who we rescued from a shelter in NJ. As you can see from her photos she thinks she's a movie star. We lost her mate and our best friend Buddy Bichon this past Easter to cancer. In his memory I will post his photos on fotothing.

2007-12-11T21:00:00.000-05:00

Winter is tough

2007-12-11T18:48:00.000-05:00

I was out again the last few weeks freezing my butt off fighting with a battery that hates cold weather....here is what I've come up with. There are more on fotothing.

Macro Assignment, part deux

2007-12-11T15:22:00.001-05:00

Okay, I'm trying this again, this time with the macro setting turned on (Thanks Jerry!). Same subject matter, hopefully with better results. Enjoy.

2007-12-10T20:07:00.000-05:00

Sorry everyone, I don't know what happend to my first post. The pictures didn't upload correctly.... I'll try agian.

Portrait Photography

2007-12-09T21:13:00.000-05:00

This is one of my favorite people in the world - my nephew Adam. He wasn't happy about having his picture taken while he was trying to play his video games but I managed to get in a few shots. I'm thinking I'll go bother my mom tomorrow and if I get lucky, they will be posted on my fotothing account under "honith".

Portrait Pics

2007-12-09T19:47:00.000-05:00

This week’s subject is my wife of four years, and soul mate of thirteen, Kristy. She is a University of New Haven alumnus and is currently employed as a financial analyst. She is moderately patient although I think I may have tested her limits in this photo shoot.

2007-12-08T15:20:00.000-05:00

Hello,

I decided to post several different pictures. I named them "the assortments". My dog gizmo was watching cars go by when I took the picture. I also took a picture of a part of my Christmas decorations. Also a picture that was hanging on my wall I thought that was beautiful art.

2007-12-08T13:56:00.001-05:00

Hey guys. I decided to do my detail oriented photos in a holiday season motif. I hope you enjoy them!

Fake Edit: For some reason I'm having a lot of trouble uploading photos to blogger right now. It will only let me upload two. I'll try to put the last one up in a bit. --Marc

lady be lucky tonight

2007-12-08T00:36:00.000-05:00

Here are my mini pictures, ive had this lady bug in my house for 2wks so i decided to make it famous. Its has bought me good luck, so here she comes to brighten someone elses day.......Ive been sick so sorry they are late.

2007-12-07T14:30:00.000-05:00

This was captured outside of my condo garage door. I tried to keep my right hand within my body so you wouldn't be able to actually see the camera. It worked out pretty good.

This is while I was walking to work. State st going towards Orange st. I thought it was kewl.

I caught this one from my office window. Im on the 6 floor.. This set of clouds was cute with a twist of orange at the bottom.

Week 5 photos

2007-12-05T19:20:00.000-05:00

Sorry for the late post but I've been working late and it hasn't been that great for outdoor shooting. I did get out this afternoon but the wind gave me a lot of trouble. I was able to get some shoots that are worth posting.

Close-ups

2007-12-04T21:00:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone,

My dog was my subject this week. I tried to catch some chipmunks but that didn't quite work out well and most of the plants outside are dead.

I really liked the coloring captured in the leaf and my dog is my second favorite photo op., beside my son... but I don't want to post his pictures online. :-)

More Macro Close-UPs

2007-12-03T19:26:00.001-05:00

Hi all, I wanted to post more pictures.

My son wanted me to name this one

Blooming Star. I am not sure what to name

the others.

I really like these shots especially the one with the focal B&W. I have more, feel free to check them out on fotothing.com

Macro Photography

2007-12-03T10:28:00.000-05:00

So here is the difference between a good digital camera and a cheap digital camera. The first picture is one I took last year using my brother-in-law's camera. I was helping them move into their new home and was in charge of taking before and after pictures. I took this picture of a snake that had moved into their trash can. The other pictures are with my cheap digital camera. I learned my camera does not take clear, crisp pictures close up.

SCANNER PICS

2007-12-03T00:33:00.000-05:00

Up close and personal

2007-12-02T21:55:00.000-05:00

Two photos of flowers that were that have seen better days. I was able to borrow a scanner so I will try posting more tomorrow.

week 5

2007-12-02T20:23:00.000-05:00

The blue is with the camera and the burgundy one is with a scanner.

Macro Close-Up's

2007-12-02T19:02:00.000-05:00

I was not able to really get out and explore this weekend, due to other obligations. However, here are some shots I have taken, that I hope represent week 5 Macro shots.

Winter is upon us

2007-12-02T13:20:00.001-05:00

I took some time today after the early snow to get some shots at the local state park. There isn't much in the way of color now that winter is setting in, but I took what I could find and ran with it. Hope you enjoy. I will continue on with the outdoors theme going forward. In case nobody has noticed, I love shots of rocks. I spent most of my time as a child out in the woods exploring or looking for rockshelters that might hold some prehistoric artifacts. Anywhere you look in CT woods, you'll come across stone walls proving that there really was farming going on here years ago: )

The Shadows

2007-12-02T09:24:00.000-05:00

Hello everyone. I decided to take pictures around my house. I like the way the shadow bounces off the lamp. I have started to put up Christmas decorations and will have some other pictures on fotothing. I'm trying to take pictures that aren't ordinary. I have seen all the beautiful pictures you all have posted and I'm loving everyones!

A couple recycled pics

2007-12-01T11:25:00.000-05:00

To start I've posted the original pic on top and the altered version below. This first picture is the view from my favorite camping spot in Bar Harbor, ME. I try to get there annually for some summer fun and artifact collecting. This pic I used the clone tool to remove the pine branches seen in the foreground and then I added a crosshatch pattern to the picture giving the illusion of a painting.

Like everyone else, it's tough to find time. Tomorrow is open and I'll be out on an excursion. The photo below was taken about a year ago and it is one that needed to be reworded and used. My brother in the background had to do so I just used the clone tool in photoshop. I think his looks great now. Look at that hair!

Hi, I'm Rob. Better VERY late than never (hopefully).

2007-11-30T16:07:00.000-05:00

I'm a senior philosophy major at Albertus and I've just started a new job at Starbucks in Southbury. I've had a HECTIC fall and hope I can catch up and at least pass this photography class. This is my first experience with an online class.

Up Close & Personal

2007-11-29T12:32:00.000-05:00

This is the weekend we put up our Christmas decorations so I thought I would post early. Here are some Macro shots that I particularly liked. The rest will be on fotothing.

Light and Shadows

2007-11-28T18:14:00.000-05:00

Sorry about the lateness of this post, but I wasn't happy with my first round of photos, so I kept trying to get some better shots. Unfortunately, the sun wouldn't cooperate with my schedule. Anyway, here's what I have... I'm not thrilled, but they're better than nothing, right? =)

You had to be there, it was sooo beautiful, I was hoping these came out better

2007-11-27T23:16:00.001-05:00

The beach

2007-11-27T20:59:00.000-05:00

These pictures were taken at the beach. I tried to catch the sun set. I like the way the pictures came out, and the more I look at it the more it looks dramatic in some ways. I hope you all like it please give me feedback.

Week 4

2007-11-27T16:19:00.001-05:00

Here are some shots dealing with natural lighting and colors, B&W and shadows. I really like these shots.

Shadows and Light @ Sleeping Giant

2007-11-26T16:29:00.000-05:00

The first picture on the left is my dog, Lulu's shadow. The other two photographs are at Sleeping Giant.

Shadows and Light

2007-11-26T15:36:00.000-05:00

I'm not happy with my pictures for this week's assignment so I am going to keep working on it. My fotothing account name is honith so you can check out what I've uploaded so far. Thanks for all your positive comments.

Light & Shadows

2007-11-26T12:54:00.000-05:00

Sorry for posting so late. I had major camera issues. Anyway here they are. I tried different types of light and shadow combinations. Artificial and natural (day & night). Here they are. All others will be on fotothing.

New Stage (NYC)-Lobby Lights

The Moonlit Sky

(I did not use Picasa2 for this one because I just liked it)

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend!! I posted some pictures today on my fotothing page. Here is one I could not post due to the 5 pic per day limit. The rest will be on tomorrow! :-)

~~jess~~

Week 4 post

2007-11-25T09:50:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I don't know... I had a really bad week. I had a hard time taking pictures of shadows. I would see the shadows but for some reason they didn't show up in my pictures and when you change them to black and white, it sometimes took out the shadows.

This is all I could come up with. Not a good week for me in pics. that's for sure!

2007-11-24T22:51:00.000-05:00

My backyard and W65th & 7th.

This weekend I shot some photos around my backyard and walking around NYC.

Week 4 photos

2007-11-24T21:26:00.000-05:00

Week 4 Photos

I got this shot of a gull in a puddle just as the wind kicked up causing the ripple effect of the reflection. Second photo is of a fishing boat at the Guilford Town Dock.
The third I call sunny side up is a puddle of water showing reflections of clouds.
The last photo is taken at tidal marsh at low tide. I'll post some others on Photothing hope you enjoy them.

Colors After Sunset on West Haven Beach

2007-11-24T19:14:00.000-05:00

As I was saying before I lost my posting, for the last two weeks my children and I have been sick. My youngest was hospitalized with pneumonia, and my eldest also caught it, but not hospitalized. After recovering from that, my mother ended up being hospitalized last weekend, which left me playing catch up, for this week. I went to West Haven Beach between 4:30 and 5:00 o’clock pm. I utilized what little lighting I had to take a few shots to post. I hope you enjoy them, I know they are not much, especially after seeing everyone’s pictures, but they are a little something.

Different rock formation

These are my favorites, they look blurry without the flash, but the colors are beautiful as the sun sets.

Macro Pics

2007-11-23T13:31:00.000-05:00

These are photos I took this summer. A Dragon Fly, a bee on a Cosmo, A Purple Rose, A up close of an Amaryllis, and a Freeon burn, that I wish I had taken a picture before the doctor debrided the blister. I will try to play with a scanner and see what I can create.

Here's a pic from my mini vacation "South Beach" of Miami. The temperature of the water was pretty cool and the sun was extremly tropical. The waves were pretty consistant, I drove my rented Jet Ski -traveling opposite of them and they felt equivilent to ramp (s). I love this Beach!!!!!!!

Lighthouse Point Park

2007-11-19T21:49:00.000-05:00

These photos were taken at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven. The last photo is of the carousel. I wish I could have gotten inside for some great photos, but unfortunately they keep it closed.

There are so many waterfalls available in the center of Connecticut. These two are my favorite shots.

I had a bad week. I got to the beach just as the sun was going down. I'm posting two without the flash that didn't turn out that good and one with the flash, just for the heck of it. I know Jerry...turn that flash off. Hopefully I'll have a better week next week.

Since I can get only five pics in a day, I will post them all the next three or so days. I have some really good stuff that isn't in our blog. Eh, I'm going to post some right now for the heck of it.

I got dirt and wet to get this one. My daughter though it was hilarious. I like when a shot start up close and in your face then pans out as far as it can go.

I'll start this off with a shot were the water is used as just a backdrop. I really found that everything but the water was catching my eye today so I have additional shots posted in fotothing. I got in as close as possible for every shot looking for shade, light, color and movement.

These few shots are of my helper for the day. We made a nice walk out of it.

These two(top and bottom) are interesting in that you can't quite tell what is a reflection and what is physical. I really like these couple...they are both unaltered.

This here is a little island just off shore. The baitfish swarm to it bringing along the sporting fish so I frequent this spot often in the summer. I felt I had to include it. There is nice light behind it making the shot a decent one. It really has a look of fall for me.

A few reeds that still hadn't been taken by the cool weather. They contrasted nicely against the water behind and below them.

Since I had so many shots of growth around the water, I felt I needed one of just the water itself. I feel like the water on it's own is a nice shot...lots of movement.

The Beach

These are some of my shots from Hammonasset Beach in Madison. I do have more coming as my sister allowed me to use her "expensive" Kodak digital camera along with my "inexpensive" Hewlett-Packard camera. I just haven't figured out how to download them yet!! I hit different sections of the beach - Meigs Point, East Beach and West Beach. The saddest thing I saw was "foam" all over the beach. They are on the other camera so stay tuned.

For some reason I didn't seem to get the shots I was looking for. The following are the ones I like the best, the others will be on Fotothing.

Serenity at Sea

Aisle of Shells (Waiting for the Bride)

Journey Begins or Ends?

Waterfalls (I liked the contrast of the movement of the waterfall against the calm of the stream)

Week 3 Photos

I took my photos at Jacobs Beach, Guilford. Photo1 Berries & Shells, Photo 2 Bed of Shells, Photo 3 Washout and Photo 4 my favorite is of Grass Island. I like the way I caught the sun on the shelter. I'll post more photos on fotothing. Hope you enjoy them.

Ocean Photo

2007-11-14T19:46:00.001-05:00

Hi everyone,

I have plenty of these photo's but this one is my favorite.

Not sure if I am posting right... for some reason I think the other pictures came out better.

Week 2 Town Photo

2007-11-14T19:41:00.001-05:00

Hi everyone!

I'm back from my honeymoon and it was FABULOUS! I'm a little behind, so I am enclosing my photo's now. I'm going to first post a picture... not of my town.. .but of the capital in Aruba. I really liked the symmetry of this photo and the color of the building.

Hope you like it!

Hello Everyone!

My assignments for digital photography 2 are a little different. When looking at the syllabus I was really torn between a few topics to focus on for this Mod. So I decided it would be easier to do Intimate Portraiture of Family Members. During Photography 1, I took some pretty good shots for that week's assignment so I figured why not try to improve my "skils" and give it another go! It's the holidays and I won't be any trouble finding people to take pictures of, unlike during the summer when no one was around. EASY stuff...right????

WRONG! LOL I struggled all last week to try to get that perfect shot. I figured Ryan, my little guy, was going to be the easiest...he loves to say CHEESE for mommy. Nope. I forgot that 18 month old boys would rather do anything else than sit still for mom.

I also found many struggles with lighting. Working with natural light in the summer is a piece of cake. Fall = shorter days = no light...bad.

But all in all, I am feeling very determined to make this mod just as successful as my last. I love taking pictures of my family but I need to be a lot more creative this time around!

Check out what I have so far! www.fotothing.com/jsandle

These are my pictures

2007-11-13T17:57:00.001-05:00

These pictures were taken near downtown New Haven. I took many,but these caught my eye. I am becoming better with my camera and angles. These two pictures were unique and caught a natural light. I have others that I will post for viewing.

pictures taken when i was in Los Angeles. They are of different landmarks and of the most beautiful grounds i ever saw in my life. Although i didnt like LA that much, some of the structures within the city itself was gorgeous. I like the way it looks in black and white rather than in color. I hope everyone enjoys.

shadows

2007-11-13T15:11:00.000-05:00

I had to reshoot my pictures because face it, i hit the delete button by mistake. This was taken around my neighborhood and in my house. I thought there were some awesome shadows when the sun hit my cabinets just right, or coming through a bedroom window. I also noticed when the sun hits a house just right it creates an awesome shadow, although my favorite shadow is the fence. Because based on how it is angled and how the fence is broken it creates an interesting image to me.
