Zane - Polarizer and Form


Metadata: Focal Length 19.3mm, 1/1000s, f/140, ISO 1600, Polarizer, Vivid Color. Mother and child were taken in very bright afternoon light. I wanted to catch the light on all of the soft forms as she looks at the dreamy sky. A friend of mine, Simon Kogan is the sculptor. The mother is positioned at the port of Olympia. I broke the center rule.

Lines

This building is near the Olympia Post Office and I liked they way it was a representation of lines, curves, arches & angles.

Arwyn - Lines


I had to travel for work this week and saw so many lines to take pictures of...and since I was working, had no time to take them. So, this is from my hotel room window in Richland, WA. I thought it was an interesting structure - I like the orb and the area underneath it that breaks apart in a jagged rhythm. I wish I'd had more time to play with the shot - the sky looks a little washed out to me, though it was a hazy morning. I took this with my Canon Rebel XTi, f/22, ISO 100, no white balance correction.

Zane - Lines and Shadows


This photo was taken in low light. It's a fence next to a tree with the western sun casting a shadow on the fence. I like the burst of green through the first fence slat, and then the slats repeat themselves and become blurry at the far right side of the photo. The tight linear wood grained rails are painted with a free form shadow of a tree. Metadata: 1/100s, F6.3, ISO 160, focal length 42 mm.

Metal Rhythm

I took this on our first day assignment in the parking lot to capture rhythm.
This area was hidden from the sun which gives this an even darker effect.  I mistakenly only brought my zoom lens to class and shot this at apeture priority.
f/5, 1/125 shutter, ISO 1000, Auto White Balance.

Drew Rickman - Line














I was looking around my house for items with line/rhythm. I came across this plant by my front door and decided to take a few shots of it. I liked the color variation in the leaves and how the light coming from the left shined on it.

This was shot at f/5.6, 1.6 sec, 200 ISO, AWB.

Aaron Managhan; Lines, Rhythm


This is a shot from this weekend at Nehalem Bay State Park on the northern Oregon coast of my friend Stacy fire dancing. I just loved being able to follow the flow and kind of see a history of where she had spun the poi based on the tracers. This was shot at F/11, 4/5 sec. exposure time and an ISO of 1600.

Lines

I was out doing a little experimentation with night photography, trying to get a little more familiar with exposure and what not, when this picture was taken. I wasn't planning on getting a picture for this class, that night, but when I stumbled upon the steps of the state capital, i knew this was going to be my "lines" photo. After many, many trial-and-error shoots, I finally had a couple decent pictures to show for it: this one being my favorite.

Taken with nikon d50, manual setting, iso 200, 18 mm, f/5

Plus, I have some sort of infatuation with fish eye lenses and I will jump at the opportunity to show off any picture using one. Enjoy!

Dock Shadows- Flowing Rhythm

I didn't have a tripod with me when I took this photo, so I had to stay very still. Most shots came out blurry. I shot this at F16, Shutter 1/45, aperture priority, ISO 200, focal length 75 mm. It was taken around 7:30 pm. I like the strong lines of the concrete dock along with the flowing lines of the shadows. Diana Delgado

WARPED VIEW


Downtown Olympia one evening - I think this is the Budd Bay Cafe reflected in the water. All those straight lines aren't so straight anymore! Shot at 1/125 sec - F/9 Had it on Manual & Metering Mode was Multi-Pattern ISO ? I'll have to go check!

Jessica Simon - "Rhythm"


I took this photo the night of class in the parking lot. This chain was in the back of a truck. I like the rhythm of the link after link after link. ISO 200, f 5.6, 1/80, auto white balance.

Vines, Stems and Petal Lines


ISO 100, F/5, 1/200, 62mm
I've taken lots of photos this week of lines. Today as I was in the yard I noticed lines in several flowers. I like the clematis becasue the flower has several different lines and the pictures also includes the vines and stems.

Claire - Lines


I was taken with the contrast between the squiggle of the sculpture and the vertical lines of the plants. I like it better in black & white - in color it all gets lost in the shrubs. I wish I'd corrected for the hillside, and I need to work on the adjustments in B&W. D90, f/11, 1/25, matrix metering, ISO 400.

Chelsea Phillips - Line


1/80, F/4, 200mm, 200 iso, Flash: White Balance, Center Weighted.
Took this picture in a restaurant on Bainbridge Island, I liked the lines textures and shapes in this image. However, it was very difficult to choose just one.

Heather Olsen - Rhythm


I took this picture at 1/4000 shutter speed, f/4.5, ISO 400, metering was center-weighted, and auto white balance. I noticed the fenceline one night heading home and I loved the rhythm of the fence lines and the telephone poles.

Laurie O'Brien - Lines


I had a really difficult time picking just one photo to upload this week because I got some really good images! Barbra was right, I'm looking at everything I shoot in a different way now. I was taking a walk around Capital Lake when this old smoke stack jumped out at me. I've lived here for over 12 years and I never noticed it before! I love the simplilcity and starkness of the lines. I also like that rungs are repeated in shadow. Aperture priority, F/10.0, SS 1/250, 230 mmm focal length, 100 ISO, multi-segment metering.

Old Growth?


I took this shot from the Sandman tug where I was on docent duty on Sunday. I noticed the growth rings in the dock timbers adjacent to the tug. It made me think about the trees that support our pleasures.

F 5.6, shutter 1/100, ISO 200, wb 0

Bob Drewett - Lines

While waiting at Subway, sitting in the car looking at the photos I just picked up at Costco,  I was thinking about our assignment lines and rhythm...

Where to go,  what to shoot etc.....  

  I looked up and saw the reflection of my vehicle in the store front and the lines of the window store front.  I took the shot.

Looking to the left,  I noticed rhythm and lines - long short, vertical, horitzonal.  I took the shot..

The remainder of the evening driving to the kids my  wife and did not notices the scenery -  we just saw many interesting lines...
  F5.6 1/50  ISO 100          Taken w/ Canon Rebel XT
