Photo Class in July, 2011

Photos just for my use - taken in a great photography class in the Old Market on a heavily overcast day. All of these were pulled into PhotoShop and the only change for most of them was to reduce them to 72 ppi for the web. For a few, I cropped out something on the edge that I didn't notice in the viewfinder. There is one exception, see notes under the photos.

Nice idea - "bliss" with the chalk cupcake top and bliss again on the top of the cold food display (totally blown out) with the same cupcake top in a large photos above it. All behind our instructor, which was rude of me now that I think about that. The room was much too dark for the depth of field and detail I needed to get.

We started here, at the corner of Jones and 11th.

We started on Jones. "Go take some interesting photos." Hmm, then came the hard part - put your lens on Manual!

This one was supposed to focus on the geraniums and the one below it on the holey leaf. The one above, I didn't get the focus right (manual indeed!) The one below works, I think.

Short depth of field with just holey leaf.

Another good idea gone bad! I don't know where to focus to get a sharp reflection. Worse than that, I did crop off some of the bottom because it was blown out.

Strange little puddle - was trying to catch an occasional drop that was splashing. Failed.

Wow, compare this one to the next. I decided to let photoshop decide what to do with this one- just curious to know- and apparently it stretched out the exposure range a bunch! The next one is not processed except for reducing the image size.
