weekly Jambo *52* 2012 Thread - Wk 8 *HAND MADE* ADDED

[Jambo]

heh great minds n all that

lol. You beat me to it in fairness. I only noticed after I posted, I also concede..... I prefer yours!!

 

[Rolyratman]

Made me sigh, you got you're socks on inside out?

 

[sturisoma]

still great minds tho hon, and I think you should have worn holed socks for extra 'man' effect, cos men's socks always have holes in em

 

[jgs001]

Direction : That works, I like how you shot it.

Fear : An interesting idea, and I think it works... although probably shows Menace .. Mono suits better I feel

Sigh : That works... an interesting take.

 

[posiview]

Sigh, well composed and bang on theme.

Looks like your socks are inside out

Sticker is a tad distracting.

Cheers.

 

[LauraJ23]

Its all been said. So a well done on completing week 3 from me.

 

[HelenC]

Lol. No new socks for Christmas then

 

[ivandobski]

Fits the theme perfectly, I think a lot of people can relate to this!

 

[Southdowns]

Great interpretation. I look forward to the day I can get down to that weight

 

[krisuk2008]

lol love it

 

[ChickenDipa]

Catching up!

Direction, like yours and like the edit. Nice and simple

Fear B&W definitely for me. The colour takes the fear away for me.

Sigh The reason I dont have scales! The cause of most sighs around the country

 

[gramps]

fearing the scales!

 

[Delta Skies]

I like your take on the sigh theme. Didn't realise you painted your toenails James

 

[philthejuggler]

Interesting idea for the theme and easy to identify with.

Week 4 "Sweet"

Too much Coke!!

 

[Southdowns]

Your sweet shot isn't showing up

 

[Karl12347]

Showing Photo is unavailable for your sweet shot.

 

[happygolucky]

I can't see sigh or sweet :shrug:

 

[Jambo]

Is it showing now?

 

[lizzy23]

no

 

[Jambo]

Should be now!!

 

[Southdowns]

Ha, yes it's there, and it's fantastic! I always knew they shouldn't sell coke to those jelly babies!

 

[^Joe]

Nicely exposed and good focus/DOF. I'm just not sure if it's a little boring though..? :shrug:

 

[Southdowns]

Really? The jelly baby has drunk too much of the coke and fallen over; I think it's very clever!

 

[PINNACLE]

I like all your takes on the themes

Your SIGH in fab I actually felt a sigh of relief that someone was heavier than me after Christmas (In a good way of course). Your SWEET has something about it I like, it is well taken and there is a story which is clever.

 

[lizzy23]

Love the thinking behind sweet, and its nicely lit, and exposed

 

[blondie606]

Hi James

SIGH....right on theme...not the easiest of weeks so well done on getting an apt image...

Sweet....like the story it tells & your idea is spot on....something about the colors doesn't sit right for me but can't put my finger on what or why ?Maybe a bit of a color cast :shrug: or that maybe the BG color ?
Great diea though....look forward to seeing the rest of your project

 

[LauraJ23]

Like that idea, works well. Is that the backgound colour, or is the white balance a bit out?

 

[Dark Knight]

I really like that idea too, very clever

I think a whiter background would help the colours too

 

[ivandobski]

As per the above really, a good idea but needs a brighter background.

 

[Jambo]

Thanks for the great feedback. On reflection wished I used a white background. It was as you have pointed out more a cream.

 

[The goblin]

I'm jumping in here with week four.

I saw this on the Flickr group and thought it was a great idea, well taken

 

[Rico]

4 really good shots with Fear being my favorite so far. Certainly nailed the theme there!
I like the thinking behind Sweet but as others have mentioned the background is not quite right.
Good luck with the rest of the challenge.

 

[fazer]

Good set of shots and well interpreted themes. Think the colour for Fear works best.

 

[Jambo]

Secure. A couple of ideas, still not happy with the sharpness of the photos. Need more practice!!

 

[Deleted member 3428]

Nice one James and your choice of numbers in the second shot just had to be that for someone with your name.

 

[Dark Knight]

Really liking that first one James... the DOF is good, nice composition too - Like it

 

[Jin]

I am not so sure on this, whilst the skill is good. I find the subjects boring. Direction and fear were very good.

For the blackberry photo I am just guessing but could your lens be just that little bit too close to the subject for a sharp focus?

 

[LauraJ23]

number 1 for me, nice composition amd good use of dof.

Week 4 "Sweet"

Too much Coke!!

LOL, other than the colour cast I like it.
