I’ve been teaching photography for 14 years.
\nIt’s always rewarding to see people develop and grow photographically and otherwise over the years.<\/p>\n

Recently Jeffrey Furry<\/em><\/strong> offered a selection of work he shot over a year in one of our programs – we offered a new challenge every month with support and critique.<\/p>\n

For the whole year Jeffrey worked hard to include an Inukshuk for every challenge. See his photos and comments below!<\/p>\n

Jeffrey says:<\/em><\/strong>
\n“I’ve been a member of the <\/em>Harry Nowell on-line program since its inception.\u00a0 Without intending to, I used an Inukshuk for 12 consecutive challenges.\u00a0 With the exception of two, all were a 20cm tall high Inuksuk I received as a free gift from a landscaping company that made a handy prop for the various challenges.\u00a0 The 12 photos below give a good overview of the variety of challenges we are given in the on-line program.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u200bChallenge – Backlighting – “overexpose the background to help bring attention to the foreground.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Exposed for the Inushuk which was in full shade.\u00a0 This was the first shot using the Inukshuk.\u00a0 Saw the perfect light for the monthly challenge in my backyard so grabbed the first subject that was handy…<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\u00a9<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry Challenge – Backlighting – “overexpose the background to help bring attention to the foreground.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Similar conditions as the backlit photo but exposed for the Inushuk which was in full shade.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\u00a9<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry Challenge – Festive<\/p><\/div>\n

A bit of a stretch to include the Inushuk for a festive theme! \u00a0Shot at F22 to maximize the star burst effect.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\u00a9<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry White Challenge<\/p><\/div>\n

Our challenge was to photograph something white (and get a correct exposure!) I decided to photograph the shadow of the Inukshuk against the snow!<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\u00a9<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry Challenge – Simple Studio Lighting – “creating lighting scenarios using lights you already have at home.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Used two Ikea LED reading lights, one behind and below, the other immediately behind the Inukshuk “head”\u00a0 Blue light on front is from my smartphone.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Ottawa<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry Challenge – Candid Portraits – “capture an intimate, engaging portrait \u2013 and part of that involves NOT using your viewfinder. Period.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Shot from the hip, no viewfinder.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Photo<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry Challenge – Slow Photos – “shooting landscapes \u2013 but with one twist \u2013 you must use a slow shutter speed.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Brought the Inukshuk to a small stream behind my house.\u00a0 Awkward location for my tripod, so forced to shoot at 1\/sec braced as best as possible.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Gatineau<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry Challenge – Fast Photos – “show the idea of motion through fast shutter speeds like 1\/1000 of a second.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Dragged the Inukshuk to a rushing section of the Gatineau River. Would have preferred a slightly faster shutter speed to freeze the water even more.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Ottawa<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry Challenge – Photojournalistic storytelling – “telling a story within the context of a single photo”<\/p><\/div>\n

Used a different Inukshuk this month, my neighbour’s cat on a large Inukshuk on their front lawn.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Gatineau<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry Challenge – Social Documentary Storytelling
– “tell a story with many pictures about one subject.”<\/p><\/div>\n

For this month, I spent the morning shooting the staff at a local bike shop.\u00a0 Just to keep with the Inukshuk theme, I grabbed this quick shot of the Inukshuk in front of the store.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Gatineau<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry Challenge – New Perspectives – “Find something finite then shoot it at least 50 different ways without moving it”<\/p><\/div>\n

Spent an evening shooting the Inukshuk from various angles with different focal lengths.\u00a0 Took about 70 different shots, this was my favourite, the second shot of the evening.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Ottawa<\/a>

\u00a9 Jeffrey Furry Challenge – “Same Scene Variations: explore the effect of different qualities and levels of light on one subject.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Shot a few dozens identical shots during different times of day.\u00a0 This shot was early evening\u00a0 with the sun setting behind the Inukshuk.\u00a0 All shot from my deck with the Inushuk placed on a small step ladder to try and get a cleaner background.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Nice work Jeffrey!<\/strong>
