Some of my lousy shots . Some vignette and colour shift was created intentionally. (only added watermark to post online , none of the images are ps )


Faces

this shot is very well done! shows careful selection of lighting.

Power:Simply Red

Though i did not stay till announcement, this shot deserves a prize!

My other 2 rejects:

Liked the one above but I think it is too much like a posed candid shot. So use the one below.

No inspiration for theme 3. My mind is thinking about the Leica M8. So just submit the one below.

Taking posters or alike with out additional objects can be considered 'photocopy'...sian, what happened to the 'Darkness' winner, too paiseh to take price because he took a poster is it?

i think you r talking bout my pic cos it happen to be the 'Darkness' winner, i hav nothing to be paiseh about but just wondering wat you talking??? :dunno: well, in case you dont know.. there's no poster nor any printed material photographed in it...

:sweatsm: it's kinda of funny.. if my pic looks like as if shooting at a 'poster'... ?? but i do agree, those 'photocopies' are... :nono:

To me, it will be a complement if people suspect and say that my photo is not real.

For the 2nd shot, the condom seller at desker rd actually come over to say 'hello'. Scary man! pretended to take the shadows in the foreground and then run away!

lol.. so wat did he ask? ... TFCD? .. (time for con dom) :bsmilie:

 

[justshot]

Condom over his lens?

 

[weekh]

he is sure not happy with me taking pictures with him inside the picture lor...

why don't u guys try taking pictures in Desker Rd and Geylang and see wat's the outcome.
I think this industry is 'well orgainised'.

u guys try and see if u can live to post in CS later to tell the tale :devil:

Congratulations to all the shortlisted and winners!
This was my first time at the marathon and now i realised the judges are looking for shots that has the potential to b published on the newpapers and not any other creative shots, now i remembered that they mentioned they r looking for 'story' telling entry
So beside fitting into the theme, it must also tell a 'story' too..hehe

Thanks.

But I've to disagree with you. The R1 does help in getting the shots that I want.

The reflection would be impossible if it use a conventional DSLR. I would have to lie flat on the ground. And the 1Ds powergrip would have raised the level of viewpoint higher, thus unable to obtain the perfection half-half reflection. And composing is also be a problem. I would have to lie flat on the ground and the security guard would have forbidden me in the first place.


And for the night shot, it is also taken from a low angle. Would have to lie flat on ground also with a DSLR. Using the wasit level finder, the condom seller knew I was there but didn't know that I was taking the shot. He only knew when people start standing behind me to look at my LCD.
The low lighting, handheld shot also requires high ISO. This the only digicam with big APS sensor that gives good clean shots at ISO 800.
