Ubay - Frame Shot

Sorry for the lateness but here it is. Since I didn't really make any time for this shot, I just brought my camera along to my visit to MA'O Farms today. And, by golly, I said I needed a framed shot and there it was! (It's the law of attraction, I've been informed.) It's framed in a window that is constructed of hay and mud. It's in an organic farm. But there's a big excavator! And someone's elbow, but never mind that.

Joe - Frame Shot

Finally. It's about time I turned something in. I didn't travel around much with my camera. So I shot around my apartment. This is my roommate, Matt, as seen through his shelves.

Matt's Frame Shot

This was a hard one, but I think I was able to get a few good ones; this being one of them. I've seen this entry way a few times on my travels along this road by my house, and always wanted to get a great picture of it.

Tiffany's Frame Shots

I'm going to post two this week. The first was taken walking around the neighborhood where I live in Makiki. The first is of a car window that caught my eye. The window frames the reflection of the apartment building behind it. I liked the cracked leather of this old car and if you look carefully the window is covered in post office stickers.

The second photo I took a while back but it's one of my favorite frame shots. This was taken at the Byodo-In Temple in Kaneohe. And let's face it, this place is picture perfect!

This Week's Challenge - week of Jan. 18

This week's secret ingredient is: the framed shot! I'm thinking of capturing an image inside a material frame, like shooting a bicyclist through a chain link fence or a portrait of someone standing in a doorway.

Tiffany's Self-Portrait

For my self-portrait I chose to be in front of our bookshelf (which used to be Jason's!). I'm a total book warm, I've loved to read for as long as I've been able to read. I've read most of the books behind me, and I'm holding one of my favorites, The Bell Jar by Cynthia Plath. You might also notice the rings and necklace. I am a jewelry fanatic and frequently hunt for unique pieces.

Matt's Self Portrait

It's hard for me to define myself as just one thing – I'm Jewish, a journalist, salesman, boyfriend, son, etc. But it's easy for me to establish the longest running theme I've had in my life: musician. The songs I write aren't normally very happy, so I thought the darkness and shadows would help bring that out visually.

Joe - Self-portrait

I'm hardly a serious guy in front of others. But when I take pictures of myself, I always look so damn serious. So what better way to show both sides of my personality with the portrait above. Serious, but not. This was taken in the Honolulu Advertiser newsroom. There's at least three elements in this shot that represents me: jokes, comic strips and news.

Aperture: f/3.5

Ubay - Self Portraits

I know you said one, but I'm putting in two.



This is me being creepy. I put the camera on a towel on my bookshelf, and aimed it downward. I auto-focused from there, hoping it would focus on something near where I would be sitting. I set the timer, then sat down. I realize I should've had the screen on Facebook or Google. Shot at ISO 400, 1/15 sec exposure at f/4.0



I'm looking at the man in the mirror. I'm asking him to change his ways. This is on the way to the Taj Mahal in the back of an autorickshaw. I saw myself in the mirror and thought, "Hey, I can make this work." Shot at ISO 400, 1/400 sec exposure at f/6.3
