Scavenger hunt week 16
March 22nd, 2006 - 12:25pm - No Comments »
Ten photos added this week, from four different members. There were a few varied shots this week and participation seems to be going strong — it’s just not always the same people week-to-week!
My sign shot turned out a bit more bland than I had envisaged. I think the grass in the foreground works alright but I had trouble with where to actually fit the sign in the background. I had a few other ideas but couldn’t find signs in a suitable spot. This was actually the first topic I thought up for the group!
The play topic was a tougher topic than it initially seemed. I expected to see shots of people holding guitars, or sports teams. I am happy with the my shot, though it’s not “excellent”, just “good”. I’m not sure how it could be improved
On to my motion shot now, and these sorts of shots are quite difficult without a tripod. I’ve managed to capture the runner’s number and lower torso in good focus but I would have liked to see the upper body and head in sharp focus too. Overall I’m pretty happy with it, though. The effect works well.
My picks are:
- Sign: Doggy Don’t by mrdehoot
Wins by default. It’s definitely a shot of a sign, but it could have been a lot better.
- Play: Play by Socrates Smith
Not sure why, but I quite like this shot. I think it might be because of the low angle and the muted colours. - Motion: InMotion by theblueboy
Great shot! I like the colours, angle and the idea presented. Unfortunately, the left-most swing is moving and there’s a little bit too much noise due to the high ISO speed. I think I would have preferred the red line to be on the closer swing, but I like it anyway!
We’re into the seventeenth week now, and the topics, as chosen are:
- Bridge [2 votes]
- Jump [1 vote]
- Framing [2 votes]
Please note that I chose Jump over the other voted-for Ride for two reasons. One: The coin came up tails twice in a row (best 2/3) and; Two: I was able to think up more ideas for Jump photos. Dark was not valid as it was chosen as well as Framing by one voter.
