Abstract


Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Table Shot III (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II
Location: home
Date: May 3, 2009
Aperture: F 8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/60
Date Uploaded: May 1, 2009

 I stood on a coffee table with glass top and clicked the shutter with remote (2-sec delay). I really wish I had a model with nicer looking body parts. These rock-climber limbs are not very visually appealing :)

PP: crop, bw conversion, curves, little burning, resize, usm, frame
I used a small piece of black velvet cloth to cover my legs. some parts of it showed up a little shiny because of flash and had to burn them in pp.

I just got the blue shirt and this is my first member challenge. Hope i don't get embarrassingly low score.

Post Challenge:
Shoot!!!
I let someone borrow my camera a week before. I need to check the date/time setting after I get home.
Update:
The camera date says "2008"...aaahhh!!!
My friend must have accidentally changed the year while adjusting the time for daylight savings.
Lesson Learned:
ALWAYS check the camera date before shooting for the challenge.

Thank you very much for all for comments.

Still a winner in my book. A very cool and imaginative shot. I like the cut off feet effect. Reminds me of the hand in the Adam's Family movie. I didn't vote in the challenge but this shot definitly caught my eye. Easily made my top5 picks from the challenge.

Nothing to be embarrassed about! This is so cool and very visually interesting! Put it on some wall in your house or office and show it off proudly. It's a conversation starter.

I hear music playing from this shot and for some reason it's "putting on the Ritz" Well done b&w and very intriguing.

very cool. Good lighting, nice reflection.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is going to get some serious attention. Excellent attention to detail. Immaculate reflections and great sharpness. the reflections make these every day body parts look like objects from another world. Great work.

I would have put the horizon line a little more off center. Very creative, Great shot, good luck, Mike

A very different type of table reflection, the perfect surface allowed for exact replication with one fault - the tops of the feet are not exactly replicated on the bottom reflection - there is a difference that while not noticable at first, that becomes more prominent and distracting the longer it's viewed. While minor, it does affect the image negatively. Technically, given the flaw, the conversion is perfect and shows a indepth knowledge of how to handle the zone system for maximum impact. From an artistic standpoint, it conveys a positive impression on first viewing. Well done.

Isn't it considered bad manners to put your feet on the table?
Strong image

awesome!

Creative idea and well executed. Being that this is advanced editing, I would have done something about the shadows of the pant leg on that one leg. Still, good job.
