If you are dropping stuff in it milk is better

 

[blondie606]

If you are dropping stuff in it milk is better

me thinks you need to be joining us on the Malverns Meet , complete with droppable stuff

I'll add milk to the list

 

[Dark Knight]

Your NUTS

Looking forward to seeing your pics

 

[BruceMo]

Do all these meets involve strawberries and cream?
Do we have 52, 52 meets?

think you're gonna fit right in here with the rest of us loons
Strawberries & Cream are optional ...the 52 meets are good fun though .Only drawback is it takes us lot so long to decide where n when we have to start planning early

 

[BruceMo]

I hear Scotland's nice

 

[posiview]

I tell you, Lynne, don't think too much about what you've signed up for again, I did and nearly passed out...eeeekkkkk, indeed!


Cheers.

 

[The goblin]

You're a bit bonkers I think!

I look forward to following you again this year.

 

[blondie606]

Cheers all

week 1 & already stumped for idea's...actually a few idea's just not the skill or models to execute them
So...this is as good as it gets for this week for me....not happy with it , doesn't say sin to me , but Eve did have a nice red apple so there's a very loose connection !


Wk 1 Sin by llj666, on Flickr

Shot this evening amid a few sheets of black paper , 18-55 lens on tripod with timer delay(to allow me to jiggle the paper in position & block some of the light) Wanted to do light painting but didn't work out . Originally wanted a black background but the red glow grew on me so it stayed

So , feel free to rip it to pieces ...I've moved on to the next week already....crikey , thats 2 weeks away

 

[Dark Knight]

I like that Lynne.. the background works well with it for me, I like the slight halo around the apple, and the shiny top/stalk

 

[blondie606]

Cheers Dean....still not happy though...I really wish I had some models & a studio & half an idea on lighting :bang:

I seriously thought about asking the local vicar to pose for me....

 

[blondie606]

I seriously thought about asking the local vicar to pose for me....

....I had policemen , police dogs & firemen posing last year....but a Vicar......now thats got potential

 

[blakester]

Good start to your 52 Lynne, nice even lighting on the apple. Perhaps a bite out of the apple would nail it to the theme more.?

 

[DTS]

Good work Lynne far nicer BG than mine! Lol

 

[Yuri F]

I do like that, it's the way the apple blends into the texture in the background that does it for me

 

[posiview]

Wasn't hard, was it

On theme, for me, connection to Adam and all that.

It has quite a sinister feel to it and the red really adds impact. Slight halo in the left hand edge of the apple...or is that rim light

Well is is a while until week 2

Cheers.

 

[BruceMo]

I seriously thought about asking the local vicar to pose for me....

Funny, me too

 

[BruceMo]

Shame the light painting never worked Lynne, there's a whole year ahead to work on it
I like the redness of the shot for the sinful look
Think you're right though, a couple of semi clad, gorgeously lit models would have set it off a bit
Good start

Have car, will travel....once the Christmas paunch has gone

Car? I'll just have a wander doon, can only be a few hundred miles
I have no paunch. I'm a lean, mean shooting machine ish

 

[Allan.H]

I get the connection maybe if the apple stood out a bit more it tends to blend in but on saying that I do like the background colour

Cheers Iain...thought about a bite in the apple---but those shiny red apples make my teeth go funny Plus...I wanted something a little different to the obvious shot , but I may just try it !

Good work Lynne far nicer BG than mine! Lol

Cheers Dan

Thanks Yuri...I wanted everything to blend together si at least that worked

...yup , sinister was the aim...sort of " if you bite it it's a sin "...

I think I'd quite like to have a go at some studio work...though in the interests of equality we'd need to have some scantily clad mean n moody men

Don't you start

Hi ya matey...thanks for popping in....sinister & devilish looking was the effect I was afterbut , yeah , see what you're saying....maybe a reshoot candidate

What about a slightly podgy one, like me?

 

[Mentalblock]

You must be mad, 3 52's in a row!Thread subscription complete, good luck.

As for week 1, umm, sorry to be negative on your first week, but it's not for me.
The connection to sin is there, now you've said it!, but the image isn't doing anything for me.

I think it's the colour and processing. Perhaps a simple OCF of an apple would be better, maybe with a bite in it?

Now, you say models and I'm thinking saints and sinners parties, there's a sin picture I'd be happy to see - come on TP, who will pose for Lynne?

 

[blondie606]

If you come on one of our meets you won't be podgy for long ( not that belive you are anyway )...we run round like loon's most of the time !

Now then Mister....was never gonna be everyone's cup of tea...I'm not even sure I like it :shrug: But I was totally stumped for idea's ( do-able one's anyway)...though I may just get some one on the Malverns meet to model for me...any takers & I have no idea about OCF....may pick your brains on the meet cos you seem to have sussed that skill for sure

Happy New Year to you n yours matey & see you in...oh , approx 28 days

 

[wibbly]

Nice crisp photo, I like the halo effect Round the apple and it works well with the black background.

Well done Lynne, good start

 

[Mentalblock]

You don't want me to model, did you see my Movember Pictures

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

I really like the style, dark and slightly scary. Technically excellent, but the composition says "temptation" more than sin to me if I'm frank.

Good luck for the rest of 2013

 

[Southdowns]

Good one Lynne. I agree it doesn't say sin without knowing the connection, but it's a nice shot. I especially like the colour.

 

[Donnie]

Nice shot! I like the variations of red too. I don't mind the glow to be honest, think it adds a little to the shot, I do get a bit distracted though by whatever it is the apples resting on?

 

[Mad Hatter]

A deliciously tempting apple Lynne. I like the warm colours with the warm glow. A good shot with an unusual background. Nice one!
