Week 29 - Unfinished



Well, in a way it is finished - it floats! But I wouldn't call it finished.

Got to agree I don't think it's finished, not too keen on the pallet stacking either. Works for the theme though

Nice one Paul. Good in mono too.

Thanks Simon! The colour didn't add anything, it was just distracting.

 

[-Oy-]

Yep - works well for the theme

 

[Darkslinger]

I like it. Are you working on finishing it yourself Paul?

 

[Nostromo]

Definitely unfinished. Maybe it'll never be finished.

Thanks all! If it was my project, I don't think I would be showing it off to the world!

Interesting, it depends what colour is in the scene as I was expecting a colour version to be more evocative

Week 30 - Shadow Play and Tech - Chiaroscuro Lighting

Here is my understanding of Chiaroscuro lighting, which seems to play with shadows.



I had a little earlier taken another image for the theme, before thinking I ought to attempt the technical challenge.

I don't normally show also-rans, but I thought I would on this occassion.

 

[wornish]

I certainly like your chosen one. The lighting is well executed.

Both good Paul. Your chosen one is a cracker.

 

[-Oy-]

Two good shots Paul

Nice one, think you got the tech spot on

[NickD]

Nice. I like the way the background is bisected the opposite way to the subject.

Beltin shot Paul, I always for get about the technical.

Thanks Wayne! I usually forget too.

 

[Nostromo]

That's a good fun shot and the lighting works well.

 

[Darkslinger]

I think that you chose the right shot Paul, really well done.

Thanks both!
