GPJr Images - 2012 : It's that time of year again: yearbook color images have to be in by some (unspecified, but late) December deadline. We traditionally "shoot a 9" in the back parking lot with all our 9th graders filling it in (next to tagging of (mostly) their choice). This year, with more students, I designed a "9" big enough to give 250 students each 4 sq ft of space: it's about 58' tall and 28' wide. Mits, Jones and I drew it with sidewalk chalk and a clothesline compass in the 1st few minutes of our prep Thursday. But I changed the script (shoot from the roof w a tripod & cable-release). I was trying author Bryan Petersen's "Depth-of-Field Tip" again, (FF camera, 24mm lens, f/22, manual focus at 3', shoot). I wanted to eliminate peripheral distraction with a well defined foreground (the kids up front) and crisp focus from front-to-back. I've tried it on landscape shots (i.e., http://welladjustedcoyote.smugmug.com/Travel/Silver-Lake-Brighton-UT/i-pwDVkdq/0/M/MG1446-M.jpg) and it's cool. My worry was that if I shot from waist level the kids further back would not be seen. So, I brought along my "Little Giant Alta-One" ladder: it's a trick thing that makes a 9' step ladder or 19' extension ladder. Ben laughed saying it was 'too short': I had it in my van in its collapsed form. I shot 1/3 the images exploring my initial plan with the camera about 13' above the parking lot and 4' in front of 9. A dozen shots later, I climbed down and was swarmed by 20 kids all wanting to see what happened. The most perceptive and vocal among them shouted, "That's no 9, that's a 1. We want a 9!". They crack me up. I had a vision, but the execution was a bit off. That said, I had about 10 minutes to shoot these pictures. It took until 12:20, 10 minutes before the early Friday dismissal, to get the kids assembled. With a few minutes left, so I moved the ladder 5' right, and shot again. Those are the shots in the 2nd row of this gallery. The kids still weren't impressed. They called, "Take a picture from the roof". I replied, "That's a 20 minute walk.". Well, maybe not 20 minutes, but easily 10 or 15. You have to climb a ladder through some worm hole to the NW corner of the roof, walk to the SW corner, turn East, walk to the SE corner, climb a small rickety ladder to the roof over the dance room, then walk along the East rim half way back the building. No time.. Claudia (stripes, front-row, confident, clear thinking, and her voice carries) said, "Why don't you use the ladder"? She's a genius. I set aside the camera, reconfigured the ladder as a 19' extension, and climbed up so my head was 19' above the crowd (but still maybe 5' below the roof). I didn't have the camera on a strap, and I didn't want to drop it (like its lens cap). I was 21' above and 20' west of the 1st kids, w my shoulder against the ladder and wall, right arm wrapped around the ladder, working the shutter with a finger on my left hand, looking over my left shoulder (hosed). The last shots (cropped) were take from this vantage. I think the 9-ness is more evident, but the dramatic foreground is (imho) lost. I'll let them choose which they want. NB: I've processed a few of these in CS5, blurring the background, burning the edges, cleaning up smeared chalk near Javier's work, etc. If a favorite emerges from the others I can PP it too. NB: My favorite is the 3rd image: the low-shot "9".

Monterey, CA : Spring 2013 break in Monterey, CA. We again took the "southern route", I-15 to CA-58 to CA-99 to CA-46 to CA-101 to Spreckles, etc. It's about 900mi. We left Thursday evening around 4pm, stayed in Santa Jorge, UT that night, then drove the rest of the way Friday. We had dinner on the wharf (Abalonette) and crashed. I took a few shots the next morning (low tide) then we met up with Ann and visited the MBAquarium for a few hours, followed by burger's at RJ's, then most of the rest of the day in Point Lobos. I read on SmugMug someone's account of seeing a peregrine falcon at Lobos just days before we left for CA. On our way back from looking over at bird island I glanced up and spotted a pair of falcon. A few hundred shots later I had at least proof that we spotted the falcons. I got a Great Egret catching and eating a rock fish, anemones, a brown pelican, the boys jumping, a slick new VW bug, and some sea lion shots that make them look like boxers.. We returned home on Sunday & Monday, another 900mi. Great trip: the critters were "behind" last year, and the ocean was relatively quiet.

Antelope Island : Wyatt's Wildlife Biology class took a field trip to Antelope Island, UT Wednesday or Thursday of last week. He came back amazed. They saw Norther Harrier hawks, a Great Horned Owl, a Barn Owl, a Burrowing Owl, Antelope, Buffalo, Jack Rabbits, and more. We were looking for something to do this afternoon so we drove out to the island, and Wyatt took us where he had been, and we saw much of what he had seen a few days earlier. I never associated the island with a wildlife reserve, but it is that and more.

Moon Shots 5d2 : "Don't take pictures. Let pictures take you." V.Versace, 18-Sept-09, Pictureline's DigitalFest I try. In the "white horizon, indigo sky, crescent moon WITH the rest of the moon visible, Jupiter, etc" shots the moon and sky were incredible... The "indigo sky, magenta/orange horizon, black ground, white moon" happened a few days after "white horizon, indigo sky, rising crescent" shots.
