Challenge: Misunderstanding (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye
Location: Home
Date: Feb 17, 2008
Aperture: f10
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/125th
Date Uploaded: Feb 17, 2008

 I wanted to shoot "you said on the telephone that you had big jugs" and to show Deb holding a pair of large jugs (that's pitchers for the rest of the world). Naturally Deb didn't want anything to do with it so I was left to my own devices...so I had to do this (badly) instead.

I don't care what happens with this in voting...was just happy to be able to keep up with the submissions.

PP: convert from RAW, noise ninja, resize, usm, jpg.

hehe, nice shot! Very funny :-) Also, a good use of the fisheye, I think it really helps drive the concept. Good job!

Way to go on a top 25, Quas! Might have had a harder time with the "jugs" idea anyway. :)

I love the perspective on this shot and the title is hilarious!! I love the expression on your model's face. Your lighting is a little hot on the top of his head (powder). Maybe not crop the very top of his head off. Great entry!!

Quasimojo! i knew that face from anywhere (seeing as I've looked at it every day for 22 days now! :-P) Anyways, i love it, and that must have been one heck of a misunderstanding, hope you didn't get too upset haha, good luck in the challenge.

Very funny. (Usually I get angered when the title makes the photos, but in this case, It's like reading a comic strip. Thanks for making me a liar.) Awesome concept. Great Job!!

Boo! Sorry, that is the first thing that came to my mind when I read the punch line.

Good image, good modeling, and clever idea.

huh, I don't get the misundersanding
 02/18/2008 07:52:30 AM
This is cute. If you had cleaned the pot (at least brushed off the dirt) the idea would sell a bit better. :-) Doesn't look like something just delivered. You did a nice job otherwise with the technicals, and the expression on his face is just right.
