A friend of mine went to Photokina in Koeln this year and I asked him to bring me a camera as a present.
This is what I got, I guess I should have been more specific, and ask for a REAL camera (-:
This Cannon-1Ds Mark-II with the EF 600mm f/4.0L IS USM costed him less than the actual camera (I googled-around a bit, the street price is around 12.000€ and he got it for free at the cannon stand), but I can't complain since I actually got a top-20 finish using this camera.
The funny thing is that I took the photograph using a Nikon!
Clever idea. Well lite, the focus is fine, and postioning of the subject is ok too. The killer on this is the background IMO. Some distance between the subject and the bg would have blurred it out for you and kept the bg from becoming part of the viewers interest. JMO of course. :) Good luck in the challenge.
Wow... Am I imagining things, or do you actually have a _model_ of an EOS-1 with that lens on it? It's advanced editing, so maybe it's just a separate picture skillfully placed in, but it kind of looks like a model to me, and that's just... too cool for words, really. :-)
edit: never mind the advanced editing remark... I went and re-read those rules, and see that doesn't apply.
I also forgot to mention the notion that surely you don't have such a big woody as this would have to be if it was a real camera. Or trust the woody to hold it, if you do! ;-)
Very cute image. Very nicely done. I need to find where I can get mini things like that. Slight blown light on his forhead drawls my eye a bit. But overall it is nicely done.
where on earth do you get those cameras? amazing...perhaps it would have been better to put him in a setting where it looked like he was 'on location' as the bg is really dull and flat 6
That's an "L" of a woody! Does he have a replacement foot as well? I'm not certain about his long lens technique, I think that that would put a dent in my non-wooden arm. Maybe a smoother/less background would help. I like the image, it made me smile.
