I donno; I look forward to seeing some excellent examples of striking, dramatically lit product shots in the sense that I understand them. I'm open to whatever else I find, but I don't think those are boring. I mean, give us a landscape challenge and should we be bored with landscape after landscape? Or self-portrait after self-portrait? In their respective challenges?
Look, some challenges are wide-open, like "blue", say, or "texture", whatever. Others are a little more cohesive. I have no problem with that.

Oh dear. Looking at your two profile photos, I'm not sure that you should go for a beer. I think the chance that you'll mix up which one of you is which and go home to each other's homes is too great. Don't do it! |
Oh, don't get me started... Besides, I'm the good looking one. ;{)> |
That's uncanny, I never saw your profile pic before...

Fair enough. Perhaps I just think "dramatically lit" and "product shot" don't necessarily go hand-in-hand for the hardliner. I don't remember a lot of dramatic lighting in a Sears catalog. I'm imagining a challenge of actual pure product shots. The purpose of the shot is to show an accurate, well-lit representation of the product with no distraction. 200 of those entries, to me, would sound quite boring. |

In an deep voice (much like the McDonalds Ad currently running) "Be afraid, be VERY afraid" ;) |

Just go for it! I'm trying to stay alive in a side challenge, my shot is not a stock product shot or a fancy ad shot. I guess in between. After this thread I have no idea how it will score. This should be a interesting challenge. Good luck to all.

Of what? Some people you don't know giving you a low score because their interpretation is different from yours?
Personally, I'm going to enter something I can envision seeing in a catalog, and let the voters "take care" of themselves. |

I don't know I get nervous about some challenges, and this is one of them. So I guess, I'll throw it in the mix, and we'll see. |

I did enter, like my shot...but...I'm scared for it.
I've never done this kind of shot & decided this challenge would be a good opportunity to piece together a homemade light box. My shot may bomb for not fitting the ideal "catalog" paradigm described here, but it certainly has been worth the trouble to gain such a great new tool for future shots. |
