here.. take a seat...it's about the light bulb, and ok the clock too. Its great you're stepping out and doing this project... outstanding. But... first the bulb.... what happened between this one and the one on your flickr page..
The big difference that stands out is the background. In 'just a bulb' its dark yet keeping the interior sharp and defined. Here, yes the inner gubbings are sharp..but the background lacks the punch 'Just a bulb' does.
... Now.. the clock. Brilliant technique. Love the hand movement, excellant in fact. But again, room for improvement i feel because the clock face is bland again. Its dull... i've seen your landscapes and they are marvellous, Helvellyn in particular. So you don't think i'm just putting it down, here is an example of my clock i did...By using light you can focus the eye to the hand movement:
the dark edging i felt pushes the eye into the clock face and the movement is noticeable.
Hope you find this project an interesting and worthwhile endeavour.
I think we will all have days like that. Two of my three so far are phone shots - I have my phone with me every day - I don't have my camera unless I purposely take it out. So its my intention right from the start to use phone images as well.Just come across this thread, I'm liking your work so far. I think there are going to be days when all of us struggle tbh. I have no qualms whatsoever about sticking a phone pic in, just to keep things ticking over
Oh I like the new growth that works really well, talk about first signs of spring I cannot wait, not sold on the pad lock it looks gloriously rusty but the cool white balance is taking all that out of the image very nice find on the "5" for the 5/365 just needs a white balance fix IMO
Sorted the WB, thanks for the tip.
