Challenge: Spinning (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Location: Home
Date: Mar 25, 2007
Aperture: 1.4
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/50

 My first entry with my new dSLR. I still haven't read the manual yet, so be nice to me :)
I tried a few shots with it actually spinning, but the blurred text was disappointing so I pulled the plug on it. Hopefully it still meets the challenge.

Shot in B&W, cropped, USM, resize.

Thanks for the comments. With hindsight I think I shouldn't have used the f1.4 lens, and should have switched table lamps for the brighter one from the other room, and used a narrower aperture to keep the whole image in focus.

I think your choice of record title was clever, but the lighting is poor (the glare on the record is a problem). Lots of "dead" space, too. I don't think this was improved by b&w.

Dead or Alive???? I used to listen to this at the clubs... Thanks for the memory!

So did you have this in your collection? Pretty appropriate.

FANTASTIC choice of subject!!! Composition and choice of black and white are great as well.
