Challenge: Pi (Classic Editing)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix 1400
Location: Outside my front door (to get the natural light)
Date: Apr 5, 2003
Date Uploaded: Apr 6, 2003

 First I made a Pizza Pi, but it didn't look very appetizing or colorful, so I ate that and made this with Bisquick dough.

I don't really like the photo because I really get the depth of the dough in the photo. I took the photo outside my front door in natural light, and masked the shadows of the breezeway with a piece of fabric, and then played with the colors as much as I could in Photoshop to try to get the shadows right.

But I'm not still not happy with it. I just can't spend any more time at it. Besides which, I'm baking the dough as I write this to have with dinner. :)

This is a strange idea... the shape of the pi is a bit sloppy, the lighting is too harsh from below, and it's overexposed in places. The colours are very gaudy.

No doubt about the theme here.

Definitely Pi. there is some distracting areas on the background. the focus seems just a bit off, not sure if closing the aperture would help or getting the focus at a different point

This seems out of focus, but I like the colors and lighting, making it look like it's floating. I would like to see this image somehow express some essence of pi rather than just have a colorful image, though.
