Challenge: Transparency (Classic Editing)
Camera: Canon Pro90 IS
Location: Reykjavik, Iceland
Date: Jun 30, 2002
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: Auto (50 or 100)
Shutter: 1/30
Galleries: Portraiture, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Jun 30, 2002

 Shot in the kitchen with daylight coming from the window to the left. Only cropped and b/w-ed in Photoshop. In b/w partly because of chromatic abberation in the reflection in the bubble - and it also just looked better. Dramatic unsharpening also looked good in this photo although not submitted. 39 shots to complete.

Nice photo and good interpretation.

Neat shot but I wonder why you chose b/w for this.

I like the use of black and white with this image. Color would have distracted.

I like the lighting in this photo. I'm wondering why you chose black and white though?

great job! I would like to see this pic in color to see if I like it better than b&w, but other than that suggestion, it's a great photo.

I love the lighting on this with obne side of the face in shadow. If I had to find fault then I'd say the shadow is just a litlle bit too dark on the rhs and t he framing is slightly too tight on the bubble. But I'm being picky - it's a great shot.

You got the face very good, but the edges of the bubble moved. Maybe a faster exposure would have stopped that motion and better defined the edges of the bubble. Challenge well met. Photo 8 Transparency 8 total 8 swash

Everything here looks intentional, lighting, composition and color. Even though the degree of difficulty is low I like the end result.

I know how hard it is to get a bubble shot focused right (at least for me = P
Nice job

I note a lot of bubbles in this challenge. That said, I think you did an excellent job on this one. Great composition, exposure, and lighting. This is really good!

Nice bubbly lips!!
 07/01/2002 10:08:00 AM
I think maybe a little more light on the right side to brighten it up some. Other than that...I think it's great.

Great shot. I have some outtakes of the same idea!

Trouble you may get is that you have no distortion or colors created from the transparency. I'm not marking the shot down for that but my wife (the subject for my version that I did not submit) made mention of that reviewing these photos.

My top 10 this week. ....hokie
