The idea, for these types of project, I think, is to get us looking at things in a different way. Therefore, I'm going to encourage you all again to take pictures specifically for the assignments instead of using pictures that you already have. It defeats some of the purpose otherwise. By shooting specifically for the assignment, we can also expand our current portfolio.
Assignment #1 is something that I think can add a lot to an otherwise simple picture: natural framing. Shoot through a cave, a fence, the branches of a tree, or anything your heart desires, and frame your subject... naturally.
If possible record your shutter speed, focal length, the lens you used and any tips on what you did.
This is a good assigment to help us compose our shots better.

This will not be visible until approved by the appropriate personnel.
It was the only shot I took on Saturday 7/9/05 while preparing to link Jim Dandy and My Route on Table Rock (Linville Gorge, NC) for the full 6 pitches. I left the camera behind in favor of water.... Dehydration vs good pics, dehydration .. good pics.
I should have taken both. I should have done the 6th pitch.

Just posting is fine. Of course, it would be great if we could coment on each others shots too. What was good, how to make it better, and so on.
The idea is to share the joy of photography and improve our skills.
I will post the next assigment in two weeks. Should post one every two weeks or so. Time will be depending on my climbing trips of course.
I am ope to comment on how long to keep the assigment alive. Is three weeks enough? To much?

you had the address of the page inside the img tags. You have to go to the image page and right click on the image go to properties, and copy the address of the image itself.

Here's my picture and my little discription from the picture page.
http://www.rockclimbing.com/...p.cgi?Detailed=58148
Description: I took this one when I was visiting the Black Hills. Those pines sort of frame the shot, which was entirely accidental, but when I looked at the picture I was like, "Hey! That kinda counts as being framed, doesn't it?" I was thinking about "Photo Assignment 1" :) Yay! Okay, well, I know it's a relatively boring pic., but I hope you enjoy it. My camera is a 3.2 mega pixel PowerShot A75.
I don't know about shutter speeds, lenses, f-number, etc. Sorry.
Anica

Very cool... Is that IR film? Sure looks like it, but I guess it may just be the lighting.

All of these pictures are very nice.
There is one in particular that depicts a good shot of back clipping. Funny what can be caught when you least expect it. It appears that the person in question maybe questioning that same subject.

If you are thinking of the photo I posted, she isn't back clipped, but the draw has kinda rotated/twisted with her being off to the side like that.

trenchdigger you have a wonderful shot here. I have to say that is's one of the best shot I have seen on this site.
Your picture as inspired me to work even harder at my photography thanks.
How long have you been shooting photos?
Any formal trainning?
Thanks again. I am currently on a climbing trip, so I don't log on as often as I should. I will b\submit a photo soon.

Thanks. There are definitely better photographers around here, but I appreciate the comment. This photo project idea is great... I'll try to come up with some of my own and pass ideas on to you via PM.
I've been shooting an SLR for about 3 or 4 years. I started with the good 'ol AE-1 and T70. In December I bought a Panasonic FZ-3, and a couple of months ago I took the plunge and got the 20D. I'm now getting rid of my old Canon gear and am in the process of finding a 35mm body to use with my new lenses (probably an A2).
I took a couple of classes when I was at UCSD and one intro to B&W class a year and a half ago at a local community college. I'm taking another this fall so I can get cheap darkroom access :) Digital is fun, but I love doing it all manually too.

Nice, especially with the little digital. One benefit of the little Point-And-Shoot cameras is the huge depth of field that you get from the small lenses, apertures, and sensors. You got great exposure on this shot despite the blown out sky (which would have been impossible to not to while getting proper exposure in the rest of the shot.
One thing you can do to salvage the sky in a shot like this is to take two photos of the same scene from the same spot, preferably with a tripod. Take the first shot as you did with this photo, and for the second shot, stop down your exposure by about 3 stops. The second photo will expose well for the sky and leave you with just a silhouette of the tree and mountain. Bring both into photoshop and layer the images, then combine them taking the properly exposed parts of each image.
Thanks for sharing.
~Adam~
