The Spice This project was to take pictures with the Partial Color (Red) setting on the Alpha 35. Many of these pictures are failed experiments. Although I don’t really think any experiment is actually a failure. Thomas Edison was once asked if he felt bad for failing on his attempt… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #96
Creatively Maladjusted This photo project was to play with the low light handheld setting on the new camera. The new camera will take several pictures in a second and then combine all the pictures into one picture. It lessens the need for a tripod in low light situations because if… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #94

I’ll just confess that my picture this week was not the intended picture. But I did what I could after I had some kind of memory card failure where I lost my original picture. Here are the submissions for NIGHT: Christopher D. Bennett Dawn Krause Mike Vest A Mike Vest… Read More »RWPE Y2 #30 – NIGHT
Not really sure why I entitled this journal entry Guy’s Night because it isn’t as if this group of friends has a shortage of Guys’ Nights. However, it has been awhile since Jesse, Willy, Jay (unpictured party pooper), and I have spent a night in the woods communing with nature,… Read More »Guys’ Night
Since I want to be done with all of the New York City images, I’m going to post the last two sets of images today. Empire I already wrote about how I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the Empire State Building over her: LINK DELETED So I won’t… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #66
Pinhole Experiment Here are some of the more intriguing images to come off the first roll of film from the pinhole camera. For some reason I felt compelled to buy some filters for the pinhole camera. I’m currently working on another roll of film that I hope to finish off… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #58
I’m guessing that the holiday weekend might have curtailed the normal amount of submissions. Here are the submissions for GO!: Julie Johnson Mike Vest Christopher D. Bennett I went down and visited the Random Theme Generator and it quietly spit out the theme for this week: SILENCE Here is a… Read More »RWPE Y2 #6 – Go!
Nuclear Library Redux A look at the original Nuclear Library: A couple alternates: I’m not sure what next week’s Personal Photo Project will be, but I’m hoping it will involve film. Although I haven’t shot the next Redux image, it will most likely be Dead End.
Radiant Beams I went to the early Christmas Eve Service at my church and then came back for the late night service to listen to the concert and take these pictures. Here are some Radiant Beams alternates: All things considered, I should have worn warmer gloves.
I’ve finally distributed almost every last 2011 Photography 139 Calendar. Allow me to explain what images were used and I will include the briefest of notes on the pictures. This year, the calendar was a little bit more of an adventure than usual. The printer from the last two years… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #48
A Great Rock A few more images from the A Great Rock Photo Session. Next time I do this, I might have to seek out company.
A few weeks ago after FNSC, Dawn and Jay assisted me with my RWPE. Here are a few of the other pictures from that photo session: The poor rope light did not survive the night.
Ain’t Distributed Right The Ain’t Distributed Right photos were taken between Boone and Ames. I don’t know another subject that cooperates with me less than lightning. Turtles might be close, but lightning always seems to disappear when I get ready to photograph it.
Never the Same River Andree also considered these other two pictures: Andree followed his “I pick so and so” paragraph with a lengthy dissertation on MegaShark vs. Giant Octopus. Can you guess why we are friends?
There were many more contributors this week. Looks like RWPE is back on track. Here are this week’s submissions for LIGHT PLACEMENT: Dawn Krause B of Impassioned Versifier Julie Johnson of The Joy is in the Journey Christopher D. Bennett Becky Perkovich Dawn Krause A of The Randomness in My… Read More »RWPE #36 – Light Placement
Never the Same River These pictures were taken on a floody night back in June after Sara and I ate at a Lebanese restaurant nearby. I need to thank her for her assistance on this night even though I definitely burned out all of her patience… and then some. I… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #34
Drenched in Loneliness f-stop: f/5.6 Exposure: 269 seconds ISO: 200
The Glow that Illumines I took this series of pictures after Todd and Peggy’s wedding with Sara insisting I don’t do anything dangerous or illegal. Here are more pictures that aren’t dangerous or illegal: I will have to revisit this concept with somebody that cares less about my safety and… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week No. 25
Not Sent for Slumber I took the Not Sent for Slumber photos on a very beautiful Spring night after eating at Jeff’s Pizza with Shannon. It was also the same night Teresa and I found out the lineup for Stephens’ 2010-11 season. The lineup ended up being mostly disappointing, with… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week No. 22
Here are a handful of pictures that were considered for the last two weeks’ RWPE submissions, but were passed over for various reasons. First, Painting with Light: Second, Strong: I should start thinking about COLORFUL pretty soon.
