My One-a-week project (2011)

[Glycerol Sound]

Beautiful photos man, especially the bassist shot. Great angle and DoF. You should get it its own blogsite though man, I'm on posterous and its a lot cleaner than posting it on a forum, and a little bit more universal. Just a consideration

I have it also on Flickr: One-a-week 2011 - a set on Flickr . However, it is easier to have some comment here. Thus, I post on Flickr and link here .

Not glad this week of my photos. I ended up with this decadent close-up of a late flowered rose; I know I have to take it again with a slightly larger DoF (f/5.6 or so here).

Title is: Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose

This one is a sort of silly photo, taken after having looked with different eyes to the lamp hub on the ceiling. Taken with 10 sec timer, Nikon E Series 100/2.8, f/11 or so. I'm not sure how to enhance composition (perhaps some more space on top?).

Week end more on doing than on photographing. So, two little friends in the snow . Not sure I have to crop the space above heads.

:meh:What is this?? Apple Sauce?

No: polenta (cooked in a modern pot, not in the traditional copper paiolo ).

I know you took the photo nearly a month ago, but how weird is it that I'm eating polenta right now! I hadnt looked at this thread before.

But no worries, I cook mine in a modern pot too.

eh, buon appetito. In Italy, "polentoni" are inhabitants of the northern regions

I like it the way it is - gives them somewhere to go.

So I suppose I was thinking right . It was my idea, although I'm not fully convinced.

During protests organised by women on the last Sunday all around Italy, I tried to take some picture representing the situation in my city. It is not easy to represent both the large amount of people and still having some point of interest. Here I wanted to evidentiate the Dante citation; this is the translation by Henry Francis Cary:

Ah slavish Italy! thou inn of grief,
Vessel without a pilot in loud storm,
Lady no longer of fair provinces,
But brothel-house impure!

This is my favorite since the cooking shot. Like how DOF was used, like the colors, and like how the smaller sign on the right balances the larger sign on the left.

Thank you . Balancing between signs was in my aims, while I was in doubt about the too centered "horizon" line between people and houses. In other positions however the left sign was not in a similarly adequate position, so I kept this version. Picture has been taken with an old, adapted Tamron 135/2.5 (hence the DOF), manual focus. (and if you like colors, this is the square in Google Maps).

I know, I lost a week . Reasons: work, and time lost learning how to focus an old mirror lens I adapted to my Canon (Makinon 500/8 with Contax mount). Aperture is fixed, DoF is shallow, 500mm makes it very sensitive to motion, plus flare.
Anyway, a couple of days ago in a very sunny day I shot some (technically) decent picture, hand-held, with not much expectance. Please note the donut-style bokeh .

Yesterday I went out for a short hiking, with camera and a couple of lenses. I'm almost never glad of pictures I take while hiking, perhaps because I never ooked much at landscapes, so I do not know how to shoot them. Day was sunny but with haze and wind, so not very appealing for landscapes.
Among the pictures I took, I chose the following one. It is a paint on wood panel, abandoned (or flown away with the wind of these days), which was gracefully hit by light filtering among trees. However, I do not like much also this picture (tried to obey rule of thirds, and not much more).



A couple of further samples of the day:

Yesterday we had some time available to do some photo. This one is against a window with tent, plus off camera flash on left and a diffuser on right (I do not know whether it did something).
