Curves

Both late comers Jade, posted same time. I,m liking your take on curves nice colurs and shapes
 
Woah! Don't blame me for this!!! :lol:

Glad to see you've made a start....only another 51 weeks to go!!:help:
 
i completely blame you for this 110% but that could be a good thing. Im looking forward to it
 
Nicely done Jade, I thought about something like this, but couldn't get it to gel for me.
 
yeah that works for me. What I've found interesting is how different people interpret the theme in so many different ways............
 
could someone move this to the correct part of the forum please :)

This weeks picture is taken it will be posted later on, im not quite sure which shot to go with as yet though.
 
nice start Jade will be keeping with you on this one!! Can't wait to see your poetry one :) Good luck dear!

Vi xx
 
Oooh, like it, not overly different in appearance to my own effort, though a different subject. Nice start.
 
Ok ive really struggled with this one so im afraid im goin to be posting 2 entries this week, i hate them both lol

Poem

Poetry in motion

I think the idea behind both is great, the "unfinshed poem" is really clever, however both your photos are a bit dull....that might sound harsh but stay with me!

Couple of questions:

Do you shoot raw or JPEG? And what editing software do you use?:thinking:
 
JPEG no idea how to shoot in raw im using ps cs2

thats fine i look at them and i dont feel inspired atall didnt do well with the theme this week atall

Don't worry about it, it's what 52s are all about!;)

JPEG and CS2? Easy to make them better then....I'll PM you!:thumbs:
 
Ahh, I like the way you think, great minds and all that :D

I think both of these have potential, they don't require much to improve. Stick with the composition as is pretty much, just take care of the details. I'd like the lighting to be a nats warmer and the second one looks to be slightly underexposed.

Nothing wrong with shooting them again if you have the chance, still got until Sunday ;) Maybe use a better looking pen, this one doesn't quite ring true for a poet, though then maybe that's me being snobish about poets (me, snobbish? :thinking:)
 
My opinion is
the written poem does nothing for me i'm affraid.
The clock is a good idea but need better execution. No 'marks'/smeer's on glass, and maybe a whiter 'face'.
Maybe some levels, a slight staighten and shoot again to remove the top shadow. Just a thought.
hope i dont offend, sorry. we're all in it to learn right. I'm not perfect.

your not far in Chesterfield. i shoot with the 350d, do you enjoy your 450 ?
 
im in chesterfield half the time lol love my 450d MOST of the time this week i cant get what i want from it and want to throw it at a wall lol

thankyou for the comments everyone
 
Love the idea of the unfinished poem :D clearly you put a lot of thinking into it
i like the depth of field in the picture , but it doesn't punch out. the paper looks very dull,

might work as a B&W better
 
I like the unfinished poem idea.

Just wondered if the crumpled balls of A4 might have been more prominently placed to convey a stronger feeling of the poet's frustration?
 
love the curves shot.. nice colours, reminds me of that advert with the cups of flavoured tea!

like the unfinished poem.. agree with comments above on it, think it would suit B+W conversion?
 
Hi Jade and welcome to the 52.
So this is all Slimbert's fault is it? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Love the idea for curved and you've done a good job at executing it too. I'm not too sure about the tinfoil background though - I think I would have preferred plain black or white.

Both interpretations for poetry are VERY clever - absolutely brilliant ideas :thumbs:
In terms of execution, I agree with the other comments that they could both do with being a bit brighter and would benefit from curves and WB adjustments.

Clock needs a bit of straightening (and a polish) but that one is so close to being there!
The unfinished poem is my favourite concept out of the two. I'd quite like a wider angle on it to see more balls of scrunched up paper and maybe a "posher" pen, but as an interpretation of the theme it's spot on.
 
I too like the unfinished poem picture, it's a clever take on the theme :)

I agree that it might look better in b+w though.
 
A good and interesting take on the theme Jade, I prefer the unfinished poem, but it's lacking in something... The clock could do with a straighten, maybe a square crop to remove the frame, or include all of it, and B&W might work very well on that.
