Red Ring Tupperware Party, Uninterrupted (No Harms ducked in making this thread) #19

+1 for a speedy recovery for Mayra!

Glad it was only minor.

Happy Father's Day to the Dads!

Ok I need a little inspiration

Today I was at the sixth lesson on the photoeducation and since we now have approx 2 month summer holliday we got a couple assignments to do during summer.

First one we have to shoot 3 photos of 3 different persons. One that we think is beautifull, one we think is not so beautifull and one that is different. Max focal length 50 mm on ff and face must fill 2/3 of frame heigth. Now that task is pretty straight forward just a bit scary because the last requirement is that we must not know any of the 3 people!

Second assignemt and here I have no ideas so could do with some inspiration. We have to shoot people in an environment. Series of 10 to 15 photos telling a story. Same requirements as the first. I have no idea. Had we gotten this assignment 10 days ago I could have worked it into the carnival. But rigth now I draw a blank

Do you have a open food market nearby? Shoot different retailers in their stores and maybe some customers. Get behind the scenes and shoot the storage / delivery areas and produce arriving.

Voluntary workers. They have to go though so much crap just to help others. Other than that, other things I could think of, off the top of my head... Nurses. Each one tells a different story about the stuff they have seen, and treated - more so than the Doctors. Something like that.

Good evening folks. Happy fathers day to all the dads out there. Hope all had a good weekend. I just got back from St Louis. Very hot and sticky there and lots of sadness. The highlight of the weekend was stopping by the Pink Elephant Ice cream stand.

Hahahaha, love the pink elephant, JJ!

It sure gets your attention from the road.

How many piles of cars are there on the side of the road after the pink elephant?

Hi tuppers.

Yesterdays ride didn't go as well. Mayra ended up crashing and landed on her left shoulder, left chin, and cheek. We werent going fast and thank the lord nothing was broken. She ended up with 7 stitches on her chin. 2 internal and 5 external. Her cheek is swollen but getting better and will go down with ice. Scrapes on her shoulders knee and chin are looking better. The crash happened around noon. Spent 5 hours in the hospital in riverhead then rushed over in a cab to Montauk. Then the bus back home at 9pm it's a long story with more details than this but if you were wondering why no update from me it was because of this. She is doing well under the circumstances of yesterday.

Hi Omar, sorry to hear about Mayra's accident. Hope she heals quickly and isn't too uncomfortable..

The last time I saw a pink elephant was when I was in the hospital and they gave me too many pain meds.

6 Flavors!

Hey gang!

The extended family descended on my home to give me a nice Father's Day -- my son Josh, my Daughter Rebekah, and even my ex-wife Debbie -- they took me out to eat, my daughter did house-cleaning, you know, stuff.

Now toward the end of the day as it was moving in the direction of sunset, my son, Debbie and I stopped at a park. I had grabbed my backpack with my "lightweight" camera combo (the 5DC and the 24-105) so we went to the best setting we could find to take pictures. But, the light was behind the "subjects" -- don't you hate it when that happens? And, because I was going lightweight, I didn't have a flash!

I personally have an abhorrence with blowing out a sky! So, with this type of thing I do a few exposures and pick and choose (I haven't been inclined toward HDR lately) and then crank things in Lightroom.

So, just to show you what I had to deal with and the fun I had, here's a Before and After Lightroom comparison.

First, see the "character" in the sky I was trying to keep, despite the very dim foreground lighting:

Nice lemonade.....

(you know, when they give you lemons, etc., etc.)

Good job, Tony.
