View Full Version : Fortnightly assignment: Through an opening Discussion!
This is the new theme!
Through an opening (as in framed by something)
2 weeks today(ermm.....get back to you with a date)
Enjoy:D
this is popular! difficult theme to get a shot for i found, marianne had a good one but she seems to have popped to the lav with chuckles, and neither have come back!
i've got one a i took for another theme a couple of weeks ago, can i put that up?

I think the purpose of these assignments is to give us some motivation and get us out there improving our skills. I'm sure you can post an old one though, tis ok I won't tell,lol ;)
Cheers,
jewel
right then, up it goes, its not great but will go up while i think of a new one :)
there you go,someone to start it off! :) Nice pic too btw :thumb:
I'm guessin this one is proving a bit tricky for people.
I've got mine lined up, just need to find a suitable model!
I'm guessing we get a wee bit more time with this one, or no?? :shrug:
Jewel
being as though it runs out this sunday and we only have 1 entry, then possibly. Although that would be unfair to Noah! ;) If you mean cause the forum was closed for a couple of days, then Tsk!, slapped wrist, you should've had more faith :razz:
C'mon people, it's not hard! Keyhole, vignette, window, car window, your hand, doorway, badger sett, hole in the fence, rusty hole in your car, stained glass.
Just a few to be going on with ;)
Just to clarify - with the new forums an assignment fortnight is only 2 weeks long?
Wow that is a major change.
:help:

Hey monkeydave, as I look at your pic I am sitting here thinking to myself. I wonder what your neighbours must think of you?LOL What is that man doing peeping through a hole in the fence AND taking pics? :lol: Nice shot btw,
Jewel

LOL - Ed, you snuck that one in under the wire! SUCH a comical expression!
well,, seing as though the admin team are asleep I thought I'd sneak my entry in (oo-err)
Bit lame, and not what I had in mind, but my model is refusing to be compliant.

Whenever I vote in one of these I usually jot down some critique as I go to help me decide. It usually goes straight in the bin but this time I thought I would post my thoughts on a few of the entries. I have also knocked up a VERY rough edit just to show my points. I only spent a couple of minutes on each so no prizes for quality, its simply to give the idea.
I really like the ideas in all of these three and think that if they had been 'pulled off' then they would have given Boon a run for his money (metaphorically speaking of course ;) ). These are just my opinions so may be completely wrong and are given in the context of a shared learning experience.
SteveC (http://www.tpfgallery.com/gallery2/d/14121-1/Through-opening---SteveC.jpg)
Point of focus needs to clearly be the lighthouse. Use wider aperture so the wall is more OOF but not so much to lose the graffiti. Selective saturation increases on the graffiti. Change of view so opening is not dead centre.
Monkeydave (http://www.tpfgallery.com/gallery2/d/14119-1/Through-opening---monkeydave.jpg)
Garden is overexposed. Fence is way too light. Could try putting a box around the lens and against the fence or even just use a box with the opening cut in it.
Keltic Ice Man (http://www.tpfgallery.com/gallery2/d/14123-1/Through-opening---Keltic-Ice-Man.jpg)
IMHO having two opening reduces the impact significantly. Big Ben doesnt seem quite vertical. Border seems a little 'powerful' for the shot.
