what a great powerful image, nice tone and great idea.
Its like a farm workers offering to the gods!
perhaps consider having elbows in or darker edges to them as it seems to cut the image in half
This was my initial idea and whilst others came into my head over the week it is the one I have reverted back to.
I tried to make it fun, simple and colourful, almost like something you would find on the wall in a toddlers playschool wall etc.
Whilst I am happy with the final 'image' I hope next week to get back more on the photography side of things as my photography skills haven't been expanded this week.
This shot came to me as luckilly the word 'quad' is made up of 4 letters so allowed the idea to be done.
Happy easter everyone!!
Dan
Clever idea and beautifully executed - it looks deceptively simple.
Rob
Nice colours for quad, I think you achieved what you set out to do! You can't use that technique for every week though
OMFGG !!!!
This is great, for all the wrong reasons
Seriously, good choice of subject matter, nice lighting, DOF works perfectly.
It's actually a terrifying image, I LIKE IT
that's one terrific image for the Shoot theme. I'm well impressed.
I mean, there'd be no point showing us a Beckford shot at the moment, would there
Oops, *ducks head*
Hey, I'm still here! Beckford must have taken the shot
Cracking shot Dan, beautiful dreamy dof on the missus. I'd be quaking in my boots if i were you. A new pair of shoes should do it
Love your shot for QUAD - very clever idea and amazing colours and well executed.
SHOOT - what a great shot! Bet you'll have this image in your head everytime you have forgotten to do something that the missus has asked you to do!
Borrowed a gun off a mate this week which was very scary.
Was going to try and recreate a sim city type of shot but soon changed my mind. Took this shot with a plain background and added some vignetting.
Used the 35mm @ 1.8 obviously focusing on the barrel end and throwing the rest oof.
Bit scary to see what the wife looks like with a shotgun, I wont be late home from the pub in a while
Time toplay catchup as never really saw anyones quads either
Dan
'Shoot' again is really nice and so very different from 'quad'. The vignette feels a bit heavy and I'm not keen on the mid grey that is so overwhelming on the left hand side of the image. But the idea and limited DoF is great!
Brilliant Dan...
Why didn't I think of this? If nothing else it would be one way of keeping the OH in line
Seriously well done! You've judged the DoF perfectly. Just the right amount of blur / definition.
I'm finding the bright highlights on her cheek and neck ever so slightly distracting, but on the other hand it might have been a bit too grey without them.
All in all a very good shot and brilliant take on the theme.
Pah! From that angle it looks like she's gonna miss anyway!
Seriously though that's a great image, very strong, I like the everydayness of her clothing it gives an impression of a normal person pushed too far (can you tell I like vigilante movies?).
the colours and the dof suit it perfectly as well, very well done.
that is a brilliant take on the theme. Wanted to do something similar but alas I am lacking friends with a shotgun (or any other gun!)
love the dark feel, focus is spot on.. love my 35mm lens, use it most often on f/1.8
