Corky's 52 - WEEK 25 / FREEDOM & RESHOOT

How did I miss your last 3!! Apologies!

3rd crowd shot is my favorite - the toned down colours work much better and its at least a crowd rather than my sparse set of folk :) Nice one!

Wealth: :) agree with most comments : nicely lit and set up and works well - love that piggy bank :)

Identity: Yep sums it up the way the world is going - well set up - love the 'likkle finger' brilliant and subtle touch that :) :)

Thanks Dark Star!!
 
Wealth - great image - definitely like the 10€ "falling" from the top

Identity - love it, I was thinking of doing something very similar to this myself, I don't think I would have done quite as good a job as you have though :thumbs: The inclusion of the inky hand is a great touch.
 
Great take on the theme, the finger prints makes this pic IMO, with out them its just a pic of a passport with them, it strikes home the issues around identity and proving it that are around at the moment :)
 
Yes another good one from you Sir...:clap:

Love the inky finger...:love: gives it a real touch of realism

I think your right about the identity thing...it's all going to bite us on the bum one day...:p
 
Very well done :thumbs: love the fingerprint sheet, it works really well.
 
Thanks everybody :thumbs: Anybody got any words of wisdom for this week??

I really like this interpretation of the theme and the work you've put into it. And the likkle finger made me laugh :lol: :clap::clap:

And you're right about the more items of identity we have the more we seem to need. Here in Spain you can't use your credit card without a passport or residencia card, even though they have chip and pin ......, and sometimes you even have to sign as well :eek:

Really,really strugled with this weeks theme, and then, when down the local
realised wisdom was in abundance.....especially after 11pm. took about 60 shots and drank at least 30 cans before i was happy with the shot.....then I fell down !! ;) ;)

Crowd - love the 2nd attempt at desaturation and selective colouring. It works really well. Great interpretation.

Wealth - Nice shot. Great idea. Lovely colour and detail. Like the composition.

Identity - Another good idea. Lovely clean, crisp shot well executed.

Wisdom - You know I had a flash of an idea along similar lines. Like the interpretation. Very creative out of the box (can) thinking :thumbs:
 
The wisdom to be found in pubs :lol: mostly based on the best source experience, great idea and given the state you must have been in that is one sharp photo :D. I'm not sure the white balance is quite right as the white head appears orange :eek:. I also note there are 2 quite strong shadows of the glass and can that once I noticed them I can't take my eyes off them. I like the position of the glass versus the position of the can and I think the can being crushed works well too :thumbs:

As a side thought I wonder what an image from a slightly lower perspective would look like :thinking:

Agree about the shadows simon, not sure about the WB though. On my monitor it looks fine, Stout has a dirty cream head. May'be my monitor is out though.
 
Pub wisdom a very dangerous thing. hope your not too hung over ;)

I like the composition you have set out but agree with Simon about the WB.
 
I like the image, it's well taken. I too think the crushed can works well. Did you get in trouble for setting up the tripod in the pub ? After that many, it's the only way you'd have kept the camera still :D.
 
Ah, pub wisdom :lol: As a barmaid in a former life, ie I was sober at the end of the night :D it was often more Norman wisdom than anything else :lol::lol:

But as an interpretation of the theme it works for me. :thumbs: I don't find the shadows distracting but it does look a little more like a pale peachy head on my screen too.

Such dedicated suffering for your art. :lol::lol:

I love the shot - just works on all levels for me. :clap::clap:

Thanks for the comments everybody. I'll have to get the monitor calibrated !
J
 
Ah now that's real Wisdom...why didn't I think of that...:bonk:

I like the whole set up of this shot and the shadow looks fine for me...

WB looks ok to me...but I think I'm due for a re calibrated monitor...:lol:

I love the way we photographers suffer for are art...:thumbs:
 
Once again, you've made me smile!! Very nice idea and I'm proud of you for 'suffering' so much for your art!
 
Thanks again.....new edit added

Jon
 
Looks good - and my kind of wisdom too :) Now this is a different interpretation - not so much out of the box - more out of the can :D

Very good shot! I like it a lot and the colour/tones look very good to me :)!

:clap:
 
This was taken of my Nieghbour and her horse (beauty) as she was getting saddled up. Its very obvious the relationship they have together

Good capture Jon, clearly they have a close relationship.
 
That's a lovely shot of a great and trusting relationship...:clap:

pity about tip of the ear missing but it's still a good one from you this week...:thumbs:
 
Heres my idea of poverty ....being homeless!

I like the idea behind this Corky, although a caravan is still a home ;)

The shabby appearance of the caravan alongside the bottled water indicating no running water, all add to the feeling of poverty.

The shot itself is nice an clear and the b&w treatment is good too!

well done :clap: :clap:

Like the B&W treatment on this image and the bright back lighting in the clouds really works.

Certainly doesn't indicate wealth unless of course the owner has both caravans ;)

Keeps a tidy garden though! ;)
 
Not quite homeless, but definatley not wealthy living either, the grime down the side of the caravan makes the shot for me.
 
Hi as said not really a homeless shot, but its not somewhere most people would choose to live...:nono:

I do agree that the B&W treatment works really well for this subject...:clap:

so yes its a winner for me...:thumbs:

sat it all for me, well done :thumbs:
 
Its a bleak looking image but in a good way, fits the theme well.
 
Thanks for the positive response :thumbs:
