Assignments 1 and 2

Here are my first two assignments from class. The first assignment was to shoot a black subject on a black background, and then a white subject on a white background. I liked this assignment and will probably do more of this on my own in the future.

Assignment two had four parts. For the first, the subject was to be shot on the light table with the background blown out to white (done in camera). I shot my Peacock Dunks.
The other 3 parts were to shoot a monochromatic color scheme, first using one light, then two and finally three lights.
Here is the one light shot.
Two lights...
And finally, three lights.

film por vida?

Shooting action (skateboarding in this case) isn't easy with a view camera. I shot these last month on a 4x5 that I checked out from the school. This thing isn't even a field camera; it's meant for the studio. I didn't exactly accomplish what I wanted to--I didn't use my flashes for any of the shots. Here are a couple images. The vignette is from the extreme tilt or shift of the front standard.





Here is a shot from last week that I am pleased with. Anyone that know anything about skateboarding knows how hard it would be to ollie a rail this high. I'll throw in a couple more that I like from the last little while.
