Challenge: Negative Space (Classic Editing)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 880
Location: Shaelburne, NH
Date: Sep 14, 2002
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1
Date Uploaded: Sep 15, 2002

Hard to capture the mood with a flash and no tripod in site, so the bluriness is due to me, but I also like the feel it gives this photo. This isn't the best I could do for negative space, but it is the best I managed to do this week!

very blurred, and I thinkthe blur does not add to the picture.

Eery look to it. It is a little blurry, probly cause the shutter was open a little longer. 5

The effect of the fire is cool. It seems like you have a little shake though, blurring some of the rest of the pic. If this was intentional, ignore me. If not, and you don't have a tripod, I have found that a ziploc bag with flour or sugar makes a nice little beanbag. 'Course to the casual observer, it may look like drugs or soemthing. karmat

I think the long exposure, although blurring most of the shot, is a cool effect

Although I am not keen on the blurriness the lighting and darkness of this portray the ambience of the occasion very well. If it were possible to enter non-standard ratios I'd like this with less black on the right or with more on the left to balance it.

I would have liked this better if it had been in focus.

these shots are real hard but once in a while they turn out real sweet, totally worth all the ones that are too dark or blurred or whatever. keep on doing this.

great shot. wish it wasn't so blurry

Good idea. This could be improved with the use of a tripod, or resting the camera on a level surface... or lean against something and hold the camera tight close and hold your breath during the exposure so you don't get any shake. I would expect movement in the people, but not in the building. Try an image like this again sometime, 'cause I'd like to see it. ;)

Nice idea. Seems a bit dark. Also focus seems too soft. Good use of negative space.

This is terribly out of focus, but it sure has negative space!

This photo intrigues me because I think that if it were shot from a different angle, cutting the house out, and just a little closer up, it would have really engaged my interest a lot more. I like the whole feel of the campfire area, but house detracts from the overall image for me. lhall-6
