Challenge: Stopped Motion II (Advanced Editing II)
Camera: Nikon D100
Location: lawn
Date: Sep 19, 2004
Date Uploaded: Sep 19, 2004

 Camera on self timer, fisheye, old style lawn mower. Selectived desat to make the background a little less distracting. Purposely weighted the photo heavy on the right to try break the norm of a "balanced" image. sloppy photoshop work, didn't have time to make it perfect. Think it might place in the top 100 though :) original photo was of water about to splash my model from above, it's in my portfolio if you want to look.

This was my favorite shot of the challenge. I'm absolutely stunned it finished this low. Great shot!

Excellent unique idea. I also like the selective desat. I think the composition is lacking. I would have liked to see the whole mower in the frame or at least an angle that would take the focus from the bar in the center of the photo and place it on the grass motion captured.

Love the blend of B&W and color to highlight the green grass. Very attractive.

Careful ! You didn't hit the camera, did you? I've barely scratched the surface with PS, etc., so the ability to make all the grass pieces green and everything else gray still amazes me. Never-the-less, you REALLY stopped the motion. Hopefully you will also describe how you did it in your submission. Good luck with the challenge.

Very unique idea here. I love the composition. The depth of field is excellent and used to great effect here. The post production work on this shot is very well done as well. Truly one of my favorites in this challenge.

Good luck!

Pretty creative... did you have someone drop the blades down? There's some white specks on the right side that you should have cloned out, but pretty good!

I like the composition and DOF choice in this shot. While the selective desaturation emphasises the flying grass (keeping this from looking like a static setup shot), it feels a bit strange to me.

Very interesting shot.

Clever subject! I like the selective desaturation, but the grass seems a little too yellow. The title helped me understand the subject, I wonder if more of the wheel were showing if it would have been so necessary. Luck!

Very different, how did you mount the camera to the lawnmower, or didn't you?
Not to keen about the selective desat but good enough for a 8.
