Examination Fear...

Challenge: Fear (Classic Editing)
Camera: Canon PowerShot Pro 90 IS
Location: University of California, Berkeley
Date: Jul 3, 2002
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 0.5 seconds
Date Uploaded: Jul 4, 2002

I was inspired halfway while studying for my philosophy final paper to capture the essence of most students' fear of examinations. I got my friend to pose for me, and inverted the image in Photoshop to obtain the x-ray effect to make it more scary.

can barely see the book. Didn't know what I was looking for until I read the title.

Almost anime-like, thie negative aspect of this photo definitely adds a dimension that would otherwise be unseen. It's almost as if you've gone into that state of shock where you're seeing things in the "opposite" way than they were meant to be.

nice

interesting photo, takes some time to see that it's a book or a folder on the bottom of the photo. maybe if you would have shown more of it, it would be clearer.
i don't think this color inverting effect really adds something to the photo. makes it weird and abstract which does not really fit to the "message" of the photo.

what is going on here? it looks like a color negative of hair and an eye... but where's the fear?

are you allowed to inverse colors???
07/12/2002 10:30:00 PM
Is that inverted?

Very good idea for such a simple photo....

Interesting shot, but I'm not sure what it's supposed to convey. I'd love to hear more about this after the challenge.

Doctors examination?nice colouring

wow.. the solarization or whatever effect this is and the single eye through the hair really makes for a scary image :) great shot! = 9 - jmsetzler

i think some of your outtakes illustrated this better.
07/10/2002 07:02:00 PM
Without the title I don't think I would have figured out what you were trying to convey. You have a nice color effect and placement of the eye. Very misterious. A 6 by Autool

very nice rendering effects and quality capture of the view

The negative (?) image is eerie. I think it may have been more effective if there was more of the book (?) in the picture. Right now, it kinda looks like accidental black bumps. karmat

I read your note about the book...But I think maybe if you'd included more of it it would have been more apparent. Colors are interesting in that they highlight the hair texture, but I think I would have liked to see more eyes, to emphasize the fear.

I think one does better on tests when approaching it with a "positive" attitude.

This is an interesting work of art. I don’t understand the title yetâ€Â¦.I’ll work on it a few more times. I would have called it Plutonium. I like the way the out of place hair almost outlines where the face would be. It is very ghostly.
07/09/2002 10:36:00 PM
very cool
07/09/2002 04:02:00 PM
The colours do not work!
07/09/2002 01:45:00 PM
I can't decide what I like about this - but I do. Good job.
07/09/2002 03:48:00 AM
Is this digitally altered ? Good shot though
07/08/2002 11:49:00 PM
Whoa! How did you do this? Very enticing and creative.
07/08/2002 09:15:00 PM
Good job on the creative concept and interesting effect. I liked this except for the dark stuff at the bottom. I don't know if cropping would ruin the shot or not.
07/08/2002 08:04:00 PM
Interesting effect, I guess you had to be there. I like the shot, but better for next week's challenge. 5 Swash

I like the idea and the effect. But fear ey ? Maybe ?
07/08/2002 12:04:00 PM
