Mothraby mciComment by FranziskaLang: I like using the ROT rule, too, however, IMO it works better (in most cases) if there's something in the background. Also would like to see just little more DOF. Interesting angle though. Could've used that for upside down as well! |

Glass Housesby mciComment by hokie: Great photo:-) You did with your eye photo what I could not with mine. Capture their imagination. You did a better job of getting the clarity right on the eye as well. Thanks for the tip of breaking a CD case for the glass effect. It works and I will definitely be stealing that idea :-) Great photo again :-) |

Glass Housesby mciComment by mpmcgeehan: I'm glad this shot placed 4th, but I really feel that it should have placed higher. For me, it ranked right up there with the shot of the kid with the umbrella. You definitely deserved a ribbon. Nice job! |

Glass Housesby mciComment by mci: Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. I totally didn't expect this shot to do so well when I submitted it, but I'm glad it did. My original concept for this shot was to take a framed piece of glass and shoot it with a bb gun to crack it up a bit and shoot a picture of a person through the broken glass, preferably outdoors. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to put things together for that so I modified it at the last minute late Sunday afternoon. I cracked a plastic CD jewel case with a hammer and took some shots through that. I started with the whole face, then a profile, and finally after about 3 or 4 different sessions of taking pictures and seeing what they looked like, I decided to focus in on the eye area. Since the lighting in my apartment is pretty dark, I used a Canon Speedlight 420ex external flash to light the shot. If I had more time and a more patient model, I would have fixed a few things, especially the lack of detail in the eye itself and the one crack/highlight that goes right through the eye. I did, however, make a concious decision to leave the border on the right side of the shot. I thought it framed it better and added some life to the black. Anyway, thanks again for the comments. |
