cdnvic Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Getting great responses to the challenges, so we're going to test your creativity and originality now. Goal: To shoot an interesting and creative photo using everyday objects as the main subject. Your photo must use one or more of the following as it's main subject matter: - A shampoo bottle - A Garden tool - A lock or door knob - A loudspeaker - A propeller or fan - A light bulb - A washbasin - A basic hand tool (hammer, screwdriver, etc) - Sewing or needlework implements The photo may not use: - Humans, animals, food, or beverages. There will be a poll to decide the best photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Look at what Hughden has posted as a guide. The challenge is meant to bring the artist out in you and get you thinking beyond the snapshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanForbes Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I thought of this, but I just don't think it fits the topic... I think this is more what the OP had in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanForbes Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I also thought of this, but I'm not sure if it fits the qualifications. It is an interesting bit of nature, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughden Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Cdnvc bothers to put together a challenge, with very clearly set-out rules; and then people just post whatever they feel like. Pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I have deleted several images that do not meet the parameters of the challenge. I do like Benz$me's one eyed monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointless. You have a good point, Hughden, but there weren't many entries as it was. I'm not sure if my "keys" pictures fit the qualifcations. They aren't on the list of things by cdnvic.

For the most part I agree with Hugh. As for the shot of the keys by Ian, it technically isn't what was asked for but was a decent shot that was at least in the spirit of the topic. (shallower depth of field needed imo) Hughden definitely takes the crown on this one, though I'll leave the topic open for others to add their contributions as they happen.

filingaccount Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Shampoo bottles, bathroom, bamboo shades, taken as a shadow on the white tile wall. Technically it wont win any prices, but it fills the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Is that light bulb your own photo? It looks like a commercial image from a web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWJ Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Is that light bulb your own photo? It looks like a commercial image from a web site. I took the shot as a lighting exercise after reading The Strobist. It took me all day, soldering and getting it suspended in mid air. It came out of the camera looking like that with just a tad of post processing, adjusting levels a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Explains the science of studio lighting in a very clear way and shows how to photograph some of the trickier subjects. Good read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiksilva Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) I noticed no restriction on using modes etc. These were taken using the B&W grainy film art filter on my Olympus EP1 when I first brought it (I am shooting a lot more manual now though, and will post another when I get home.) The light bulbs in my front room Same subject different view Edited January 7, 2011 by quiksilva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
