Famous Photo Imitation
OK, because I don't know anything about famous photographers, here's one from the archives. It's the publicity shot for my college barbershop quartet, circa 1994. We tried to imitate the famous Normal Rockwell painting as best we could. (Yes, that's me with the shaving cream on my face.)

Black and White Portrait Assignment - jgessner
original title: "ava before she brings out the cheese face"
I actually did a "photo shoot" with a tripod on the 17th floor for this. I got to use my special gold-reflector to light her face on certain shots. Here are my two favorites.
This first shot was done by focusing on her face, setting the exposure to 1 second, and then *zooming* during the exposure. Things get a touch blurry, but I love the sense of movement!
And this is the more glamourous shot, very slightly smoothed/blurred in Lightroom. I think the ball prop was key, since it gives you a whole gradient of light.
My cousin's wife, along with another cousin's baby. I should have increased the exposure or used Lightroom to do some artifical "fill light" on her face. I still like the dramatic textures.

My Typical Shoots
The two things I usually shoot: my kids' soccer and the bands my husband manages. Don't have time for much else, but I enjoy it. ;) Not Urban Decay, but thought I'd share these since I missed the first meeting.....all shot with Canon 30D, most with my 70-200 f2.8L IS...Britton

The "ice house" on Lake Superior was actually used for transporting sand and gravel from ships without entering the harbor. It only lasted 4 years before the ravages of being unprotected on the lake forced it to shut down. Now 80+ years later it's used as a playground for scuba divers and swimmers.
Unfortunately, I did not notice that water spray had spotted my lens until I came home and reviewed the pictures from the day.
Urban Decay: trow
From my recent trip to Rome, where things have been decaying for two thousand years old.
