Challenge: Bored (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S50
Location: My crappy couch in my fairly decent apartment
Date: Mar 19, 2005
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 50
Shutter: 1/6
Galleries: Emotive, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Mar 22, 2005

The ONLY photo I took for this challenge...actually I was inspired by the challenge to go out and photograph while hiking...that was actually fun, and I thought about submitting some of those photos, but would have to explain in the title - and I hate that.

For this image, I cropped, desaturated with hue/saturation in Photoshop, hit auto levels, boosted contrast and ran USM to make the couch more 'poppish.'

This is a neat picture because of the way the light is shining in on the couch and the texture and ripples of the couch look really good.

This is very amusing..I love the black and white, love the blank expression on the man's face, even like the positioning of the remote...9...back for more comment tonight: this shot makes me laugh every time I look at it...love the textures on furniture and the look in the eyes..how did he do that with his eyes? lol..bumping up to 10

One too many hours of watching QVC! This photo does convey bored. Black and white lends itself well to the boredom theme! One of the better ones so far.

Stoned on TV! You have epitomized the look of boredom! It is the rolled eyes, the vacant stare, the uncomfortable posture that is frozen in space--so despondent one can't even imagine moving.

If this were advanced editing, I'm sure you would have done something about the over exposed hand and the loss of detail in the shadows areound the neck . Otherwise, technically very nice--good tecture, B&W appropriately chosen. 9

I would like to see it with more of the bottom portion of the couch cropped off at the bottom...just my opinion though.

Good photo. The face seems a bit unnatural. But good photo again.

Focus seems to be on the fore part of the couch, instead of the man. Nice composition otherwise
