Week 2 - Poetry (Clicky) (Post #9)

I haven't had much chance this week to get the camera out so I am gonna have to cheat slightly. I don't have many shots that I would consider curved (although loads of my son so could simply put pic of head shot) but decided on this shot. It was taken last year sometime of the Mrs and my boys' hands. He was only about 2 months old then. He's just turned 1yr now.




For a bit of fun and not for photography skills i quickly took the following on Wednesday. Ideally I should have drawn it on a slope so I could get a better angle or had a wider lens with me. I only had the Nifty at the time



I really want to learn and improve my photography skills so will make more of an effort from now on to take new shots based on the theme. The weather this week has hindered my quest (or am I just trying to find excuses:thinking: )

Anyway, good luck to all 52ers and hope you all succeed in completing/achieving your goals this year. :wave:

Nice steady start, I think the older shot of the hands is the better, i like the idea after all the human body is full of curves (and rolls), i think a B&W with a contrast boost would make it look better.
 
I like the first image alot, it fits the theme well too. Good start :)
 
Awww Vince - that shot of the hands is just beautiful :love:
Definitely one to keep and look back on in years to come.

OK posting an old image might be a bit of a cheat, but I really don't care because I like it so much.
Very sensitively shot, I just think it could maybe do with just a touch of a contrast boost to give it some more impact.
 
Very well done Vinny, that's a lovely shot and fits the theme well
 
haha, thats a great poem....

photo fit's quite nicely, with the lines "i like this bottle it takes me away" and "i should put the bottle down, but thats no use"

nice work
 
Still trying to catch up on week 1, and week 2 nearly finished. :)

Week 1: I love, love, love the hands shot. I like the gentle processing - it fits the mood and theme of the shot and it's the sort of photo that's worth a million words! :clap:

Week 2: Great presentation, threading the poem round the photo (self-portrait?) The mono treatment works well with the theme and content of the poem, too. I had no idea there were so many poets on TP! :)

really like the this weeks although i do think baileys is a bit girly rofl
 
That's an interesting take on the theme, i love the picture although i think a bottle of scotch would have been better (thats not a criticism). overall It has a lot of impact, who's is the poem did you pen it yourself?
 
Really like the poem running along side the shot.
Good lighting. Agree a bottle of whiskey would of looked a bit better :p
A really good effort!
 
Thanx for the comments everyone. I totally agree that something 'stronger' would have suited it better but unfortunately thats all I had in the house, except for wine and beer. I wanted to upload week 2 before week 3 started...!!!

Thanks again
 
The hand shot for Wk 1 is absolutely beautiful

What I particularly like about the photo in the Poetry shot is the genuinely sozzled or daze look you have achieved/captured, accentuated by the depth of field blur. The Baileys bottle works for me as it shows a certain desperation to drink anything that's got alcohol in it!

Only minor negative is that I am not sure the font is quite right for a hard drinking poem, it' a bit curly and soft if that make sense?
 
Hi Vince,

First off well done on writing that poem :thumbs:
I also think you've done brilliantly with the shot.

Click to expand...

I'm going to be lazy and echo what Ian has said, but that really sums up my thoughts about it too.
(and you'd really have to be desperate to drink Baileys :lol:)

But I also think that the POV works well to add to the effect.
 
I just have to echo what others have already said really.

Great image and well done for penning your own poem :thumbs:

Font is a bit flowery for the poem I think.

Baileys ! :cuckoo: You must have a problem to drink that rubbish. Dedication to your art indeed :lol:

Looking forward to your next one.
 
Ahem... we're on week 7 now. ;)
