This Week in the Digital Photography School Forums (8-14 Nov ‘09)

Weekly Assignment The Economy is on everyone’s mind at the moment, and our forums are no exception. This week we wanted you to show us photos that represented the troubled economy. Our winner this week was bmjesus ’s dropping coins. The depth of field in this shot was very effective with a strong focus on the coins, and the movement of the coins was nicely captured. One of the things that stood out in this shot was the human aspect of it and the sense of despair that it conveyed. Our first runner up was BryanC ’s Beaten Dollar. This photo was one that stood out not necessarily because of the photo, but because of the idea and the post-processing that brought that idea into reality. It is a creative idea, and it also interjects a bit of humor in a sometimes dark situation. Last, but not least was was gapsoteric ’s A Question that Nobody Can Answer. The woman in this shot was begging for coins in a bus terminal in the Philippines. The shot grabbed our attention and puts a takes an emotional look at what can happen during an economic downturn. Turn it up to 11 this week because the assignment is Noise/Sound . The challenge is to display an audio medium in a visual format… not something that is easily done. In case you’re new to the assignments or you just need a reminder of the rules, there are only a few to remember. First, the photos for this week’s assignment must have been taken between 4-18 November 2009. Second, your post must include the date the photo was taken and either “Assignment: Sound” or “Assignment: Noise”. And finally, your EXIF should be intact and it’s useful if you can include some of the main points (e.g. camera, lens, aperture, ISO, shutter speed, etc.). Next week’s assignment will be Kinetics.
