Running late I ran to the machine, missed the light and face planted slide to the machine kicking it on. As I lay there wondering what just happened the random machine said…

“Light Placement”

Ok I get it, turn on the lights. Light placement in photography is about emphasizing light.  A classic side lite portrait is a good example. Image Search and 2010 – Light Placement.

Here are Last weeks people photos by people for people. I suspect by the number of entries that people didn’t know many people:

Yes I know this is a day late. The dog didn’t really eat my flash drive but I was on a trip to Nashville, I forgot my card reader and Storms make internet go bye bye. The random theme machine did however work correctly on Monday.  I was fairly stressed by the time I powered it on. The machine said to calm down and do something:

“Soothing”

Yes, I really do need something soothing. It seems last year I was late getting to soothing also. History seems to repeat itself sometimes. Here is an image search to help. Think soothing thoughts and take a photo. 2010 – Soothing.

I have hope for more 52week entries. I had a recent visit with the random theme machine. I explained a theme above themes was needed. A theme that all people could easily participate in. A theme equal to all regardless of camera. A theme by the people for the people… The machine was inspired to randomly pick:

“People”

People as a theme. It makes sense that anybody with a camera can find some people to take pictures of. I remember a day when a man named Jesse once submitted photos. 2010 – PEOPLE. That photo happened to be of people. There is hope I say hope that  people will stand up and say, “We the People.” We the people can photograph people.

I waited until midnight to post the blog hoping for a few extra entries. As a fellow blogger said. The 52 week experiment might have run its course. The submissions have died off as have the page visits. It might be time to consider alternatives. Either running to the end of the year or ending it in July. I’ll pull in the round table at lunch and discuss its future. For now here is last weeks shadow photos.

I remotely turned on the random generator and asked for a theme to revive the experiment. The machine didn’t’ run long:

“Depth of Field”

That theme was a low point of last year we shall see how it preforms this year.

In optics, particularly as it relates to film and photography, depth of field (DOF) is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image. DOF – 2010, Image search.
