Let us not forget that while a single vanishing point is the strongest and most obvious, the other 99% of the time there are two vanishing points leading to the horizon, and they make for more interesting compositions. I know that a strong and blunt solution, elegantly presented will score best, but after the Rennisance when they worked out the math for perspective, the single vanishing point has been pretty much abandoned in painting because it gets pretty dull. |

Nice, Kosta! This is TRULY a vanishing point.

Actually Brannan's is the original painting by American painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967) (one of my favorites of the 20th century).
It's entitled "Nighthawks" painted in 1942 and hangs at the Art Institue of Chicago
edit: add details

Wow! I can't believe it doesn't have this functionality!!
Anyway, how do I make the photo B&W with photoshop?
The way I know choose Image -> Mode -> Grayscale.
Is there a better way? I didn't find any indication in the rules...
Thanks. |

It's silly to add image editing features to a good DSLR. You can't see what the detail of the image looks like after editing in-camera, more things can go wrong, adds cost to the camera.

Thank you!!! It worked great!!!
Do I have to mention it when I submit the photo to the challenge?
And just wondering - there are specific rulles for editing.
How come there is no mention of B&W? Or did I miss it?
Thank for all the answers. |

Check the forums - there are other methods of converting to black and white which give you much more control. I can't remember the name of the most popular method, but if you go through old posts you will find links which will give you all the details.

Technically you don't have to mention anything, it's just a good way to go about it.

"Post-shot Adjustments may be made to your image in a photo editing program, so long as the modification is applied to the whole image. This includes levels, b&w conversion..."

Alisasaur, don't eeeeeeeeever think it's a shame to live in Kentucky!!! I lived in Kentucky when I was in high school when my Dad was stationed in Ft. Knox. We moved to San Antonio, Texas (only a few hours from the Gulf), and I STILL have a scenery depression. Kentucky is beautiful and I still miss it. Beautiful trees, beautiful weather. I LOVE Kentucky :) |

| I did things a little different, if you look you can see a vanishing point. |

This reminds me of the fellow I met once, who, busy copying the work of that inestimable âPainter of Lightâ, Thomas Kincade, said firmly, âIf you change just 10% of the original painting, you cannot be sued.â While I wouldnât bank on that assumption, Bedard has a very funny take off on the Hopper painting! |

| A wide angle lense and a small aperture are also helpful. |

You're right, it is very pretty here. I know if I moved away I would definitely miss the trees and the nice weather. Unfortunately, I love the ocean sooo much & I always want to go to the beach. There's no beach, but hey, I'll survive. Kentucky is a nice place to be. |

Anyone copying a Thomas Kincade should not be sued, they should have their paints taken away from them and barred from ever painting again. Sort of similar to doing covers of a tribute band. |
