CHRISTMAS POTATOES
by petspics

Comment:
the ricer is certainly mechanical. Would have tried a diffeent composition though getting in closer to the potatoes and excluding the arm. On-camera direct flash creates rather ugly lighting. Perhaps shooting from below as the potato is forced through the ricer would have created a more powerful shot?

Mechanical Pencil

lovely use of negative space. Would like to see a little more sharpness in the pencil before it becomes defocussed. Lighting is nice.

Winded Up Flashlight...

i find the selective focus a buit distracting. Hard to make it sharper but a very small aperture helps. Black and white is good for this.

i find the composition a bit confusing and there is a rather stong yellow cast. It's hard to balance warmth with the yellow cast and for my taste it is a bit too yellow.

Like the distressed look and the grain. Very moody

Pasta by hand

nice shot although would have been stronger with pasta actually coming out of the machine!

Tracker

Comment:
Not sure how many people know the difference between a tracker action and pneumatic action organ so this may be lost on some! However, as an organist with a great affection for trackers, I can appreciate your shot. Purists will say that unless the bellows are operated by hand, the electric blower would disqualify this shot, but I think the organ is a miracle of mechanics - which actually provides the challenge musically! Photographically, the flare on the pipes is rather distracting (presumably from the flash) A tripod and slow shutter speed would have created a more pleasing picture, although churches are hard to expose correctly without some fill light.

a bit of a stretch perhaps - pretty cat though
