Challenge: Tools (Classic Editing*)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Olympus D-490Z
Location: Oakland, California, USA
Date: Aug 26, 2003
Aperture: 3.6
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/50
Galleries: Vintage, Still Life
Date Uploaded: Aug 26, 2003

 I had to dig these old pottery tools out of a closet when I needed a last-minute entry. Used a canvas-like apron, and borrowed some modeling clay from Isaac.

Combination of inderect sunlight and fill-flash, handheld at near-maximum zoom.

After intially submitting the straight color version, I was trying to figure out which galleries to assign it to. After I decided that "Vintage" was appropriate, I went back and changed it over to a duotone based on a combination of Black and Pantone 143 (orangey-brown). (This also helped hide the bright-green clay I had to use!)

Too much negative space and the toning doesn't work for me.

I think sepia is a bit inappropriate as I find myself wanting to know what colour all the objects are! Interesting tools but I wonder if a more intriguing viewpoint would help to make the shot more interesting.

Nice selection of tools but far to light for me and I have my brightness down and my contrast up

Sepia is a great choice for these tools. The focus seems a bit off though on a shot I otherwise like a lot.

I like the sepia tone and the different textures present. The wrinkle at the bottom left is a little distracting but overall this is one of my favorites so far.
