5. Symmetry is highly over-rated.

lies.

I do appreciate that Moondoggie-- and for everyone else, I'm going to take a minute to explain.

1. The spirit of st.louis probably didn't have a radio in it.. don't pay so much attention to the title.. it's simply a radio, and it is the Name of the radio. It's embossed on it.. thats what the design was based on.

2. No, I wasn't in the cockpit of the airplane.

3. This shot DID meet the criteria of the "ground up" challenge.. This radio was on a shelf, above my head, I layed on the floor below it (the ground), and took the picture from under the radio, hence the dramatic upwards angle. It honestly seemed to me like if it wasn't a picture with some sky in it, people didn't think it was "from the ground up."

4. I know it was over exposed and over sharpened with a really high contrast. I personally liked that.. the origional image was rather dull, and it added some interest into it.

5. Symmetry is highly over-rated.

Utterly and completely baffled how this shot could have finished so low. Wow....

Nice contrast. Interesting pic.
05/04/2002 10:28:00 AM
seems a little off-center. nice over exposure and focus though. not sure how you achieved this look, but it's pretty nice.
05/03/2002 06:13:00 AM
Not sure I get it. Too much contrast also hurts this picture.
05/03/2002 12:36:00 AM
is it our of focus on purpose?
05/01/2002 01:42:00 PM
Initially, I wasn't certain I liked the way this was so over adjusted (whether in camera or in computer doesn't matter) but the lok grew on me. I think I'd like it better if it were either more centered on the two middle switches or more off center.

The overexposure almost works here, but not (IMO) in combination with the oversharpening (looks pretty jaggy). Symmetrical subjects like this usually look better centered, as well.

great concept. I'm just not a fan of over-exposure.
04/30/2002 10:58:00 AM
Some of the colors are too blown out - you can't really see the objects. Also, the foreground isn't all the way in focus. Neat idea though.
04/30/2002 10:49:00 AM
neat photo. i like the burnt out quality. is this the actual plane?
04/30/2002 09:04:00 AM
I like the high contrast look. It makes the photo very "retro" looking.
04/29/2002 10:58:00 PM
Very very cool shot. I like the visual effects applied to the photo - creates a great retro mood & feel. Nice job!
04/29/2002 02:52:00 PM
Not sure how this is linked to "From The Ground Up"
04/29/2002 02:32:00 PM
That rocks. I love the high saturation.
04/29/2002 02:00:00 PM
i dont see how this fits "from the ground up"
04/29/2002 12:28:00 PM
AT least it's not another guitar dude.
04/29/2002 10:55:00 AM
cool
04/29/2002 10:32:00 AM
nice overexposure, you are probably getting a lot of comments about what you should have done to prevent it, like you are some sort of moron for not knowing what you have done. people here only vote on what makes them feel good and warm inside, and not on originality or substance. ignore the masses and do what you want.
04/29/2002 09:22:00 AM
there are a few problems here...1)picture is offcenter...2)picture is washed out...3)picture isn't really from the ground up...4)some of the dials aren't even in focus
04/29/2002 09:10:00 AM
Interesting exposure. Not sure how the title relates, the guages seem a little advanced to have come from the actual plane.....plus I don't think they let people in the cockpit. Doesn't really fit my definition of the challenge
04/29/2002 09:08:00 AM
over processed, or over exposed ? Not quite sure.
04/29/2002 08:46:00 AM
This is a neat photo but I am having trouble relating it to the challenge. The foreground is out of focus. It looks like your editing software got a little out of control with you as well. The contrast here is very harsh. I know that the Spirit of St Louis was an airplane but I don't see an airplane in this photo. Centering up those knobs at the bottom would have been helpful as well.
04/29/2002 08:43:00 AM
The contrast 0on this is rather harsh.
04/29/2002 07:52:00 AM
The burned out dials really work, as well as the high contrast and sparse but bright colors. It's just to ever-so-slightly off-center as to seem like a mistake though - I might have liked it better had it been exactly symmetrical or more off-center.
04/29/2002 06:36:00 AM
too much reflection from shiny objects
04/29/2002 06:17:00 AM
Colors are a bit off. Would have been nice to have more focus.
04/29/2002 02:28:00 AM
amazing effects achieved in this photo
The impression of aeronautical really adds to the shot
I like it when the photograoher has put that little bit extra thought into their image to add an extrea dimention to the challange... well done... top marks
04/29/2002 01:41:00 AM
I thought the spirit of st. louis didnt have a radio in it...
