UncleDonald Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 (edited) Once when Uncle Donald was a child, his mother had him take art lessons. That must have been, oh, 1948. He was embarrassed to be seen drawing baskets of fruit and hid the drawings He has overcome this. Any art tips welcome!

astral Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I am inclined to agree about the feet, but they may add a certain "Je ne sais quoi". I woull wash the mangoes to get some gloss on them and buy some fresher bananas........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khutan Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I am inclined to agree about the feet, but they may add a certain "Je ne sais quoi".I woull wash the mangoes to get some gloss on them and buy some fresher bananas........ I would leave it as it ts, scruffy mangoes and feet. However, I would frame it using the "Rule of Thirds" Everything is too much centered. You are not teling us exactly what you want us to look at. I like the concept of Still life and real life together. Use the feet or the fruit to draw the attention to what the object is - the feet or the fruit.

Difficult with today's very short focal length lenses on the the point and shoot cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khutan Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 ...The perspective does make her look odd..... umm more like Photoshop here has made her look odd. It has been a very good effort, and taking the original subject and changing the emphasis is an interesting idea. My first thought when I saw the "New Image" was it felt Motherly as her womb is at the focus of the image, being augmented by fruit. Therefore "Fruit of the Womb".

Khutan Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 As an update; I was talking to a very old friend of mine who is a Cameraman for the ABC in Australia. He does News and some studio work and has been making a living for about 25 years holding a News Video Camera. Once you met him, you will see he has been beaten kicked etc etc but he also films the best news footage around. He is also coming to Thailand for a holiday in the next 6 months. I am more than happy to try to arrange an "evening out" and we can sit and chat with him to listen to his thoughts as an award winning cameraman. Please tell me if you are interested.

Boatabike Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) Hmm 10 mins in photo shop and have fruity feet lol.

ImageDude Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 ImageDude, are you using PS or other program to edit these pictures? What version? Thanks Guardian, I use both Photoshop Elements 4 and Microsoft Digital Image Pro 9. In my opinion both have their own attributes and I switch between the two programs for ease of use of some of their tools. ImageDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
