Challenge: Life (Classic Editing)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S602Z
Location: at work (on my break, of course!)
Date: Sep 14, 2003
Aperture: 3.1
ISO: 160
Shutter: 1/75
Galleries: Emotive, Macro
Date Uploaded: Sep 16, 2003

 Freehand shot without flash of a white page with laser printer lettering. Played with Color Balance and Brightness/Contrast on Photoshop until I got the bluish - purplish color I was looking for. I also cropped a little around the edges to draw the eye even more towards the center element.

This shot was a complete experiment and I have no idea how it will fare. Damn the torpedoes!

I hate to be mean, but I've seen this setup on DPC quite a few times now, and it's starting to become pretty unoriginal. The advice seems to be to overexpose a few stops when shooting white paper, so your text stands out better and the contrast is improved. The particular text used for this challenge is a nice touch though. Perhaps you could have used these printed words from a different viewing angle, or doing something different with the paper? I think it's a shame that there's a space around the word 'LIVING?', I'd have prefered the rest of the text right up to it, perhaps 'LIVING?' could have been in another colour. 5

isn't this a radio commercial?

Clever. I like it, but I'd just like to point out it's not quite straight in the frame. Like the colour.

I would have just put the word "Life" and titled it "Life is such a blur". I get the message though!
