Discussion: Weekly Competition 23: Light
Can the first person to post a picture in these competitions stop being so bloody good!!!!
Indeed - it's definitely out of order. McBrian's picture last week had me considering not entering and it's the same again this week!
Quite surreal to drive round the corner of a hill and see a 20' bikini-clad woman swimming above the moor.
Yes it would be. It's not a sentence you get to write, or read, every day either...
(not that I would've won or anything...... seriously good stuff!!!)
So I was practicing with painting with light for a project I'm working on.
my entry was done in camera, with only a levels adjustment (which I had to redo after checking my laptops monitor profile), minor sharpen, and color balance.
the equipment used was a ds2, 50mm1.4 360fgz flash, umbrella and stand.
15 sec exposure, f16,
also an l.e.d. blinky lightstick and a twirly fiber optic flashlight, (both $1.00 each at a dollarama store).
I'm sorry I haven't entered for a while....been pretty busy.

Thats an interesting effect Don. I like it. I would have liked to see it coming out of both eyes

it's a little awkward getting self portraits, and painting with light, like that.
but it is neat seeing light that looks almost fluid and three dimensional.
But I suppose there's more room for interpretation with this one.

but wow, allowing people to go nuts and press the boundries and use interpetation, and free thought....
It's like having a group of people of various religions/cultures/ethnics and asking "what's the meaning of life?"
...only more restrictive and limiting as we confine them to the subject of photography....
I agree that a subject like "Christmas Ornaments" would be easier to judge and more restrictive to interpet....
Perhaps the Mods could take over choosing the subject, for a Christmas and New Year Comps? Then return to the normal format of winner choosing the next subject. Just an idea...............

So unless someone submits an image with their lens cap on, it follows the theme heheh
Well, it could have been worse, it could have been 'Light on Toast' ??
and what's wrong with that?!!
I use a Pentax K10D, on a MacBook with LightRoom (vers 1.3 + beta 2)
