Thanks StanSounds and looks like great fun playing with food. I like it as is.
Thanks Tim, glad it was worth itThat idea had occurred to me too, but we only had spaghetti hoops in the cupboard (kids getting older I guess).
I'm glad someone did it
The pp on that is really good (far better than the banker I have).
I guess the best shot make it look easy even though it probably wasn't. Your shot is my fav 'Alphabet' posted so far!
Sorry Sara! I had a feeling it would be a popular idea, that's why I set to work as soon as I'd bought my tin of spaghettiARGH !! Went out yesterday and bought Alphbetti Spaghetti with a very similar idea in mind. I'll think of a different interpretation and see what I can come up with, but love the idea and the way you've executed it. (Might have to have a rethink ....) Nice work.
Hi Elaine,
That's a really nice shot, and well done on all the hard work you put into it!
Thanks for lookingyou did a good job there it could be used for advertising
Cheers Andy. I hadn't intended it to be quite that messy, but I ran out of sauce before I managed to fill in all the gaps, so it was a bit more random than I'd originally meant it to beHi, on theme and well composed. I like the messiness of it.
Cheers.
Cheers d00dYes nice and messy and colourful with good contrast.
Thanks Chris. I suggest you try and get the large size if you can. They only had small ones in my local Asda and as I said, there wasn't quite as much sauce as I would have liked. Plus, I fished all the letters out with a fork and arranged them alphabetically so I could see what I had to work with before I started spelling out words and I discovered that there were several letters missing from the small tin.Like this a lot. It's simple, colourful and effective and given me a great idea for our clubs Still Life competition next year if I can remember it.
Thanks BobPhew! Yes! A lot of work involved. Well done!
Thanks Michalene. Studio-type shots were my worst nightmare and I'd never really attempted them before I started doing the 52s last year - I'm far happier outdoors. But after lots of awkward themes and bad weather conditions that didn't really offer any other options I think I'm starting to get the hang of them a little bit better nowmachine - love it Elaine really great shot!
alphabet - great idea for theme
LOL at the "machine" and the sneaky line from "Pink Floyd"
Alphabet, nicely taken and LOL at the message too it fits well on all counts
Hi Elaine, nicely done alphabet and a nice clean white BG, well done for getting in first
Loving the machine shot...made me chuckle.
I too, thought about alphabet spaghetti, and indeed had an archive image lined up if all else failed
Couldn't be a much better fit for the theme.
Thanks Mandy. I think it would have been easier if I'd had something to use as bg that was matte white, but non-absorbent. The shelves in my bedroom would have fitted the bill, but I'm not 100% sure the sauce wouldn't have left a stainLike the quirkiness of your quote. I'm rather thinking of using alphabet spaghetti for my shot. Have an idea in my head, but having read your issues with white BG may rethink.... time will tell.
Thanks Andy. Photographing the text with the hand felt like the easier option at the time, but seeing your Terminator shot has made me want to make a bit more of an effort learning about layers and composites. I think it may be some time before I even think about attempting something like that though!Quick off the Mark
The sharp text contrasts well with the blurred hand.
You grey extra points for not using Photoshop on the text
Cheers.
Well, I've used text boxes to add "ordinary" text, but I figured that Chinese characters might be a little more complicatedAdding text to a photograph in PS is very simple. However, there it's something to be said for doing it old-school
Hey Elaine
Alphabet - DAMN that is bright
Thanks DK!I really like the Splat type lay out of this, well set up, nicely lit and perfect for the theme, thumbs up to the background PP, loving it so vivid
Sound - A good idea again, well done with the text, the way you have done it works really well
Grasshopper, you must practice opening up your Chakras in order to gain true enlightenmentAs Talking Photography Projects Themes & Ideas go .... this does not make me feel the least bit zenned up or indeed any the wiser. I see an OOF hand.
But hey I like different.
