    Mornin' Fish,

    Thought I'd join in, don't have time to get a shot today so I'll start with one I already have.

    Hiya DD...nice shots, but the idea behind the assignments is to get you out and shoot fresh stuff, not dig into your archives.

    Ya I know, that's why I delayed going to work and just started shooting in the shop. A mix of both. I promise teacher, I will take fresh shots from now on. Please forgive me, oh wise and scaly one.

    People apparently loooove geometric shapes. The response to this assignment has been overwhelming.

    Here's your photo assignment for this week: Circles.

    • Photos must be fresh - taken this week, not stuff you've got hanging around on your computer.
    • Circles means the primary focal point of your image should be a circle of some sort.
    Have at it.




    Advanced spin: Use a 50mm focal length only. Post EXIF data if you are submitting for this category.

    Here's my entry.... Titled "Lust"
    Shot on a mirror with an over head light source at 100 asa, f11...
    Hope it's ok.

    Here's my second attempt at this weeks project... I'm enjoying the challenge of finding themes that fit the "assignment."

    I like that a lot, DD. Contrast is great, and it speaks to my inner motorhead.

    I love your night shots waxy.. I'm gonna do some one day when I find some night and life together. I thought of you yesterday when I took five portraits of my old folks (a first) and left my ISO on 800 and my white bal on sun.. (I was under light bulbs)... from what I remember I"m not the only one who forgets to change settings until after the shoot.rolleyes1.gif I wondered why they were dark and grainy.

    Ahh.. a man after my own heart! If you haven't got it, you must pick up "Motorcade of Generosity". One of my faves on that CD "Mr. Mastodon Farm".

    Good point.... !!!
    I was outside today killing the last picts on the film getting it develloped and scanned by a friend.. So, no new assignment I thought combining the last few assignments... triangles, circles, moving objects, and squares?? wasn't a bad Idea.. Laterz
