Hello & catch up

Hello All,

I am in Photo II, and haven't been able to post anything for the last 3 weeks. I have had computer problems. This is my last class before I graduate in May! I am taking this class as an elective, and really enjoyed photo I. I have choosen to photo structures around town for the eight weeks we are in class.

I have found that it seems the lighting is the best towards early morning or late afternoon.

above are some of the photos i have captured over the last three weeks.

Week 3 - By the Sea

Good Evening Everyone,

I've posted two pictures this week from West Haven Beach and Light House Park in East Haven.

Near the Greenfield Hill Green in Fairfield is a cemetery for war veterans. Some of the tombstones date back to the early 1700's. This is a must see!

Shells and Rocks

I just came back from a shoot in Redding where I live... Here is an example of something to try... Since it was dark and overcast, (a good thing when shooting water and rocks)... I was able to do time exposures with the camera on a tripod... see how the water turns to fog, yet the clarity and sharpness is retained in the moss and rocks... The exposure was 15 seconds @ f16... notice I am filling the frame and concentrating on the essential elements of the picture...

Week 3

Water... streams, lakes... the ocean..... What can you do with water?

From the syllabus...

Assignment: By the Sea

Look at Weston's work at Point Lobos, California. What kind of light did he photograph under? How did he move in and compose what ever he was looking at?  For each photograph, consider the point of view Weston and the camera position.

Weston got down, got close to these rock forms on the beach. I want you to do the same

Read this short biography of Ansel Adams. Browse through his images of the American west.

You are to visit the beach, and look carefully at form, light, composition and line. Examine tidal pools, rock formations and sand patterns with the curiosity and freshness of a young child, say a toddler. Move in close, fill the frame. Submit your best two images on the class blog and post 6-10 or more to your online album. (Links in academic expectations below). If you live well inland and would prefer to visit a waterfall or brook with moving water, that would work too.

Beautiful Sunday morning on Milford Green. Spent time admiring statues honoring the men and women who defended, and continue to defend, our country.
