Challenge: Letting Go (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Nikon D100
Location: Home
Date: Feb 7, 2004
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/30
Galleries: Sports, Action
Date Uploaded: Feb 8, 2004

Setup by holding the frisbee in place with a big tube of card - cheap copout, but saved 200 stop motion shots.

Again all manual WB, exposure etc. No flash used, didn't want to use flash becasue i wanted a little bit of movement, so I overexposed by 2 stops to maintain a healthy white.

Rating photographs is very subjective, but I respectfully disagree with the majority on this fine image.

Composition is great and lighting very good. The image has interest by focusing on the frisbee and the technical quality is high.

This is a top three caliber shot. It will be recognized as an outstanding image long after this challenge and score are forgotten.

(+) Very good use of DOF, subject fits theme well. Cropping well done.

(-) White diagonal band at waist is distracting and leads the eye away from the foreground object

Good shot.

I like the depth, would have liked a different colour shirt for contrast

Very interesting shot.... Not sure how I would have felt about a disk flying towards me and my camera. Nice.

This had to be hard to pull off. The "problem" with this image, for me, is that too much of it has to be out of focus. Technically it's wonderful, but visually it's hard to keep looking at it.

Great shot, nice POV and DOF

This is fantastic - doesn't evoke the sentiment strongly - it's rather a literal interpretation for my liking - but the image itself is just excellent. I love that approach of focusing on the frisbee and having the young guy out of focus. This would have been great in shallow DOF too! Great use of composition, colour and DOF.

Brilliant! You could have used this one for this challenge or for the "Depth of Field" - great shot. 9

This is good, but the only reason it lacks a bit of "wow" factor is that it seems like the photographer is just holding the frisbee out in front of the camera. I'd want to see the whole frisbee, but that would be harder to do.

Great DOF in this shot....
02/13/2004 05:45:12 AM
I think this would have worked better if you could have shown some motion blur on the frisbee.

Great shot. good use of DOF
02/12/2004 11:26:18 AM
Cool and innovative. Hope the camera didn't get too bruised.
02/12/2004 02:37:07 AM
A little more depth of field would have made this a very good shot
02/11/2004 09:02:47 PM
I like the point of view, good idea.
02/11/2004 08:47:36 PM
This is a great DOF shot...love it. If it was not staged great capture if it was staged great idea. Well done 10 from me
02/11/2004 07:48:36 PM
Really like this shot for the challenge. I might have preferred the frisbee at a different angle, but this one is good too.
02/11/2004 06:50:50 PM
Good take on the challenge... great capture.
02/11/2004 04:46:04 PM
awesome dof and set up. ;) im thinking the photog is holding the frisbee but no matter how it is working, it does work ;)
02/11/2004 02:25:11 PM
Cool interpretation and great use of DOF, just wish more of frisbee was in the frame.
02/11/2004 10:28:03 AM
not bad...not sure if i lke the all red bit, and the overall composition could be more appealing to me
02/11/2004 09:19:09 AM
awesome idea
02/11/2004 04:12:36 AM
great shot. dont ding the lense
02/11/2004 01:52:20 AM
Great composition, clear, fun.
02/11/2004 12:41:18 AM
Great shot and DOF. Is the frisbee really moving, though? It almost looks like it's attached to something. Regardless, nice affect.
