Photographers expand horizons in 2010 Army Digital Photography Contest 110311

By Tim Hipps
FMWRC Public Affairs

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Brenda Walker strolled upon “one of those right places at the right time” alongside East Fork Indian Creek River when she photographed “Morning Serenity” on Fort Campbell, Ky…

Retired Col. Richard Pugh shot three photographs of “Point Lobos,” just south of Monterey, Calif., and combined them into one image by working 15 minutes with Photoshop…

Staff Sgt. Pablo Piedra won a footrace with his wife to the bottom of a stairwell at Heidelberg Castle in Germany just before he looked up and photographed “9”…

…all three were winners in the 2010 Army Digital Photography Contest sponsored by the Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command.

There were 3,691 entries from around the world – 1,348 in Division I for active duty military personnel and 2,343 in Division II for other eligible MWR patrons. After Army garrisons selected their best entries, 664 Division I and 1,031 Division II photographs were forwarded for Department of the Army judging.

“There were many really excellent photos, which made the judges’ decisions a difficult task,” said Linda Ezernieks, who monitors the annual contest at Army MWR Headquarters in Alexandria. “Originality, creativity and technical quality were the main criteria in making final selections.”

Winners in each category – animals, digital darkroom, design elements, military life, monochrome, nature & landscapes, people, and still life – were posted on a website where Army Knowledge Online account-holders voted for their favorite photo in each division.

Walker’s “Morning Serenity” took first place in the nature and landscapes category and was voted the most popular photograph in Division II.

The subject of the photo is a fisherman wading and casting in the middle of East Fork Indian Creek River while the sun shines through the lush, green trees and casts a rainbow-like appearance off the steam hovering above the stream.

“It’s back on Fort Campbell,” Walker said. “I take my dog running back there early morning. It was really hot and the steam was rising and the rays were going through the trees. It was absolutely beautiful back there.

“I take my camera everywhere I go now.”

Walker left her business card on the windshield of a truck parked nearby and later learned the fisherman was Sgt. Randy Shorter of Fort Campbell.

About five years ago, Walker took some of her photographs to the MWR Custom Framing Shop at Fort Campbell, where she found out about the Army Photography Contest. She has produced prize-winning photos for the past three contests.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to get exposure, plus cash prizes,” said Walker, 48, a military family member. “I enjoy looking at everybody else’s work. It inspires me and motivates me to get out and get more interesting, different shots.”

What does Walker enjoy most about photography?

“Just being able to capture what I see through my eyes, my heart and my head,” she said. “A lot of it comes out through your emotion. It’s another form of art.”

Pugh, of Clarksville, Tenn., took first place in the Division II digital darkroom category with “The Owl,” second in design elements with “Blue Mosque,” and third in nature and landscapes with “Point Lobos.”

Pugh shot the high-tech looking photo of “The Owl” at Land Between The Lakes, a national recreation area located south of Paducah, Ky., and embellished it in Photoshop, as he did with “Blue Mosque,” a shot of the roof of a mosque in Istanbul, Turkey.

“I like this contest,” said Pugh, 65, who photographed winning entries in each of the past three years after serving 30 years in the Army. “It gives people a chance to show off something they did, which is great.”

Piedro, 31, an Army recruiter in Douglasville, Ga., is a former combat photographer. His “9” earned first-place honors in the Division I design elements category. He took third place in digital darkroom with a self-portrait called “Beast within Me” that would make a dandy Halloween poster.

“I got the idea when I was in the gym working out with my partner and a couple people came up to us and said: ‘You guys are lifting like beasts.’ The idea just popped into my head, so I got home, took the shot, and just started editing,” Piedro said. “That’s where that photo came from.”

The subject of the photo looks like a cross between a werewolf, a vampire and an Avatar, complete with fangs, dagger-like fingernails and alien ears – seemingly howling at the moon that looms behind a naked tree.

“The fangs, the ears, the eyes and the hands are all Photoshopped,” Piedro said. “And the stomach that’s concaved a little bit, that was done in Photoshop. For the background, I took certain parts of images from other photos, adjusted them, and made everything into one image.”

So what’s real?

“The body, and the face,” Piedro replied. “That’s it.

“If you look closely, the eyes are actually black and the pupils are red, so that’s been Photoshopped.”

Piedro, however, does not think of himself as a Photoshop expert.

“I actually don’t do too much Photoshop,” he said. “I try to keep my images as pure as possible. But every now and then, I get my creative side and I do a little bit of Photoshop – just trial and error, playing around.”

Piedro won two categories and received an honorable mention in the 2007 Army Photography Contest but missed the competition the past two years.

“I think it’s a great, great program,” he said. “It’s a great way to get the creative process of people that do see the world and travel the world by being in the military, and not even just as Soldiers, but supporting staff, civilians, wives.

“It’s a great way to get recognition for something that we love to do.”

As is often the case with photography, Piedro did not know exactly what he shot that day in the stairwell to the gardens at Heidelberg Castle – until he downloaded the photo.

“When I got home and I looked at, I was like: ‘That’s 9, yeah.’ And that’s where the title came from.”

Piedro cherishes photography’s uncanny ability of giving him the opportunity of “freezing a moment in time that only I can see and sharing that with others.”

Several other military photographers earned multiple places in the 2010 Army Digital Photography Contest.

Holly Swegle of Fort Hood, Texas, took first place in Division II monochrome for “Dress Shop,” second in animals for “Painted Birds” and third in people for “American Woman.”

Lt. Col. Mark Bonica of Fort Sam Houston, Texas, took second in Division I still life with “Reflections in Soap,” third in monochrome with “… and We All Fall Down” and received an honorable mention in military life with “Free Gift When You Join Today.”

Staff Sgt. Brandon Quarterman of Fort Bliss, Texas, won the Division I popular vote contest for “Reaching Perfection,” which topped the still life category.

Connectors for LED rows and columns on the back side of the picture frame. By using male pins it can be used with different projects.

The idea here is to put the 8x8 LED matrix into an Ikea picture frame. The cardboard cut-outs are used as spacers to hold the LED matrix off of the front panel which is a sheet of milky white acrylic. If this works, I should get nice big red round dots displayed through the acrylic sheet.

Impatiens
Shown: Detail of fully opened flower

"Impatiens (pronounced /ɪmˈpeɪʃənz/)[1] is a genus of about 850–1,000 species of flowering plants, widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere and tropics. Together with the puzzling Hydrocera triflora, this genus makes up the family Balsaminaceae. Such a situation is highly unusual, and phylogenetic studies might reveal that Impatiens needs to be split up; some of its species might be closer to Hydrocera than to their presumed congeners.

"Common names include impatiens, jewelweeds, and, somewhat ambiguously, "balsams" and "touch-me-nots". As a rule-of-thumb, "jewelweed" is used exclusively for Nearctic species, "balsam" is usually applied to tropical species, and "touch-me-not" is typically used in Europe and North America. Some species commonly planted in horticulture have altogether more fanciful names, such as "Busy Lizzie" (the well-known I. walleriana)." (Wikipedia)

"Clianthus puniceus, commonly known as Kaka beak (Kōwhai Ngutu-kākā in Māori), is a woody legume shrub native to New Zealand's North Island. It is one of two species of Clianthus (Kaka beak), both of which have striking clusters of red flowers which resemble the beak of the Kākā, a New Zealand parrot. The plant is also known as Parrot's Beak, Parrot's Bill and Lobster Claw. There is also a variety with white to creamy coloured flowers.

"The species is critically endangered in the wild, known only on Moturemu Island in the Kaipara Harbour. It was previously widely grown as a garden plant, but has generally been replaced by the more robust Clianthus maximus.

"Kaka beak grows to around two metres high, with spreading branches producing leaf stalks up to 15 cm long bearing several pairs of small leaflets. They usually flower from spring through to early summer, but can flower twice a year or even year round." (Wikipedia)

"Protea scolymocephala, the thistle protea, is a flowering plant from the Protea genus native to South Africa. It's a small erect shrub between 0,5 and 1,5 meters tall. The leaves are linear-spatulate curving upwards. The flowerhead is yellow-green and small, with 3,5 - 4,5 cm across. The species flowers between June and November. The fruits are retained.

"Protea scolymocephala occupies sandy flats and coastal lowlands in the Western Cape from approximately the Olifants River in the north, through Cape Town to Hermanus in the east. The species is considered vulnerable and is threatened by both building and alien vegetation." (Wikipedia)

#25. Brightness in #24 reduced from 0 to -50. Click on All Sizes to view Original.

RTM-1 is the pair of blue spots just above the large magenta galaxy in the lower left. There are six more suggestive blue spot pairs in this field.

RTM-1, closeup view in #21, is very like CSL-1, only blue and more separated, but with the similar equality of size and color. It turns out that there are so many easily found pairs of all sizes, down to single pixel bright spots separated by a pixel space, that statistical studies are appropriate.

If you inspect this carefully, especially holding a 4 inch reading glass close to both of your eyes, focussing on the tiny bright blue sources, you will easily discern many suggestive pairs, right down to the limit of two single pixel spots separated by a pixel, or even the many double pixel spots.

The two sides of the convex reading glass function as opposed prisms, separating the reds and blues in such a way as to make the reds appear about a centimeter closer, creating a lovely, revealing 3D image, while moving the glass back and forth can flexibly adjust the smoothness and the sharpness of the image.

I found that using a 6"X5" concave glass, which in effect has prisms opposed in the opposite direction of a convex lens, makes a smaller overall image in which the blues appear closer than the reds, which I surmise is the actual reality for these images for the tiny, subtle background features, the myriad minute bright blue sources on the apparently more distant, dark magenta mesh.

The 1-2 mm red and blue sources are much closer galaxies, with their apparent colors determined by their actual temperature and the amount of redshifting, which grows linearly with distance. Much nearer to us, of course are the three 1-5 cm galaxies, while the central red star is very much closer, in our own galaxy.

This field is 61 sec wide = 1 minute.

Theory predicts that many more cosmic strings would have been formed early in the drastic phase changes during the very early expansion of our Universe bubble, and that these strings would decay by vibrating fiercely and interacting with themselves and each other, giving off energy as gravitational radiation, and so decreasing in number per volume of space. Hence, there should be more gravitational lens pairs appearing as we view earlier and earlier epoches.

This can be researched by software that measures accurately the rate of pairing as the size of the pairs decreases, leading to accurate information about the cosmic strings and thus cutting edge areas of fundamental physics.

If it is possible to extract Doppler shift information, subtle red and blue light shifting, from the single or few pixel pairs, then gravitational lens pairs could be distinguished from pairs in close, rapid orbit around each other.

If the orbital periods were less than a few years, then closeups from different times might find shifts suggestive of orbiting pairs, and disclose enough information to get the orbital periods.

Since some strings may be moving, rotating, or vibrating at relativistic speeds, above 10% of the speed of light, their gravitational lensing effects on more distant galaxies may change visibly within a few years. his could be checked by having a dedicated ground telescope maintain a constant vigil on a fixed small region of the deep sky for years.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_strings Wikipeia encyclopedia article on cosmic strings and CSL-1:

'Cosmic strings, if they exist, would be extremely thin with diameters on the same order as a proton. They would have immense density, however, and so would represent significant gravitational sources. A cosmic string 1.6 kilometers in length would exert more gravity than the Earth. Cosmic strings would form a network of loops in the early universe, and their gravity could have been responsible for the original clumping of matter into galactic superclusters.'

This hasnt worked very well, really for a good tilt and shift the wide angle lens is a must, also i was to short to see over the panels at pier hill so took a chance and swung the camera over the top

I did this a different way this time
duplicate background image, add about 4-6 Gaussian blur
then add a level adjustments layer just click ok dont change any thing, move the duplicated layer above the adjustment layer and group together (ctlrg)
next click on the mask next to the levels adjustment layer select gradient tool black and white preset select reflective, hold down the shift key and draw a line from where the image meets the horizon to about half way down

then its just a case of tidying up before you merge the image
