Challenge:Oops! (Classic Editing) Camera:Canon PowerShot G3 Location: A local church Date: Aug 31, 2003 Aperture: 2.0 ISO: 50 Shutter: 1/3 Date Uploaded: Aug 31, 2003
In a small church not far from where I live, there are two Bibles with misprints. One has become known as "The vinegar bible" -- as the parable of the vineyard became known as the parable of the vinegar due to a spelling mistake.
This bible was much easier to photograph as it is much bigger than the other bible.
It was a very long exposure, and there is glass in front of the bible. To avoid camera shake and reflections I put my lens converter on but without a lens, I then pressed the end of the lens converter against the class to eliminate reflections and camera shake. It's a technique I haven't used very often but does appear to work.

CORRECTION, sorry about this. I just quickly counted my votes in Oops, and I guess I did not reach the magical 20% this time around! I am so sorry. So I guess my 10 didn't count here. For what it's worth, I thought this was a good entry, funny, well and subtly presented.

Ursula,You suppose to do 100%,all those 10's you gave to me never counted!?

I gave this picture a 10, yet when I look at it here it tells me that there are 0 10s and there is a little red mark right next to it indicating that my vote is the 0 10. This is weird. I really liked this shot, and honestly tried to score it high. Why the score would not be counted beats me, because I definitely voted on more than 20% (not all pictures, but more than 20%).
Well, i think the idea of it was good (fitting challenge) and the lighting on the words is good also. I guess if I have to be critical about it overall my thought would be, that photography is 'visual' in a shot that requires 'reading' the observer to ' get it' in some ways to me it loses the essence of 'image'. Perhaps adding a visual dimension reflecting the words.
Where did you get this? I read up a little recently about printing/editing mistakes in the King James bible over the years - I don't remember this one specifically, but it's a pretty good idea. I think framing and lighting could have been improved, but it's probably a tough shot to do in an interesting way.
