Dont change a thing then :suspect1:
 
Pmsl!!! I didn't change anything last time!!!
 
Blimmin 'eck, a load of entries and a new section to the forum has appeared!

I had some crazy plan about dropping glass objects from my kitchen window and trying to photograph them smashing today.

Then my 'friends' talked me out of it.

Hrmmmph.

When does this one end BTW?
 
Just taken my shot......good old stick man ;) .....and unlike Ghandi's destructive nature I didn't break Mr Stick
 
Some really good photos here chaps and chapesses! I really like Steeps one but I think its a bit extreme wasting beer like that!

Seems to be an absence of spill evidence - pointing to an empty break ! Just call me poyrot !

And ... forgive me for being tik Sammy, but although your post intrigues I cannot make it out ? Perhaps your intention ?:confused-
 
Dave had stickman idea too, but got his posted first, but seeing as i like mine, ive left it on anyway!

Probably collapsed out of sheer relief...
 
yeah, Stickman Protection League gonna dig up my dead grammies bones and hold them to ransom till i give my stickman to a safe home and stop experimenting on him....
 
Ken I really like that shot! Hope it's not your engine that isn't running. I would never have thought of a shot like that. My hubby is a mechanic and I have a WHOLE garage of goodies that I could prolly have some fun with. Looks great! I also like the DOF in that.

Thanks Jewel, fortunately not mine...this time. Called in to a garage just to ask if I could take some pics.....They told me they don't use the wrench often :nut:
 
...other than for hitting things. You know, starter motors, engine blocks, annoying customers...
 
I've added my contribution. Sammy, will you tell us what your photo is of, at least once the comp is over?
 
i like that swiftwind, the doll has a suitable look of surprise already which really helps the shot!

:innocent: :D
 
Love that one, Swiftwind. Great lighting and composition
 
Thank you Matty and Catdaddy! :)

Poor doll has been like that for a while, and makes a rattling sound when I shake it. I think it's from the 50s or 60s as it's my mum's... I've always found it to be pretty interesting though (probably because of it's eyes - which open and close - and outfit).
 
SW, really like the composition of your (doll's freaky though!), lighting and everything work wonders! Nice!

PS. I keep meaning to post a piccy of the offending article!
 
Thanks for the comments Sammy! :) Yeah, it is a pretty freaky doll, ...but I guess that's what I find interesting about it.
 
Some very ineresting interpretations of the theme this time. I, as normal, have wheeled out my bible of phtographers cliches for this one. had a bit of a play building myself a lightbox and mucking about cos there's nothing on telly tonight!

I've included a couple of shots of the setup as I was quite pleased with effect!

The orange glow to the light was achieved with the aid of quality street wrappers! I did try blue and green but they made the egg look a bit rancid! LOL!

Oh, and I know my kitchens a mess!
 
It's really interesting to see how everything has been set up for your shots, Gandhi. ... I was wondering how you got the orange glow. I just noticed something, is that light resting on a box of cigarettes?
 
yes it is! an empty one!

It's ok, it's a low energy, eco-friendly, tree hugging light bulb, and they don't get hot! It was the only thing i had that was the right size to get the light the right distance from glass, too close and the shape of the light showed up, too low and it wasn't bright enough.


Short answer would of been 'yes'

But I'm known for being overly verbose!

Nice shot from yourself btw, things like that doll give me the creeps. Looks like something out of a horror film!
 
....and he didn't shell out for any fancy lights either. :getmecoat
