Me to ;-)
 
I deceided this morning to find the first thing to take a picture of that would fulfill the topic otherwise I would fail before I got started (better late than never).

Daughters windmill was the inspriation and movement (Spinning AROUND) was the direction.

A good start. Nice and sharp in the centre. Maybe a small sat boost but that's all.

good luck with your project!
 
I thought about the saturation. I shot RAW so I can change it. However, I only have a netbook at present which won't run the copy of PS Elements 10 sat on my desk :-(
so editing will be limited.

Thanks. It was all a bit rushed and this week is aim to end in the same way.
 
I think the edited version stands out, great start and welcome aboard
 
Week 2 - Fear

I struggled with Fear as a topic so I picked a "phobias" and used that to take a picture that would be a suffers worst nightmare.

Koumpounphobia - fear of buttons - an affliction that the late Steve job reportedly suffered from.

Thanks

I'm not finding this easy or much time to take photos and now this week is "sigh" !!
 
Hello Richard,

Direction - I love the idea. The colours are great and I like the abstractness of it. The only thing for me personally, I would have preferred a tighter crop, perhaps a square.

Fear - After having read the description, I know what the idea behind the shot was, but unfortunately for me, the photo doesn't say Fear (if that makes sense?). To be honest I'm not sure it's possible to make buttons appear scary, unless you actually suffer from this phobia yourself and know exactly what it's all about. It is a nice picture, though!

I didn't expect the photo to actually make someone frightened few photographs ever will actually make the viewer enter the fight or flight reaction we would normally have in such circumstances.

Now whilst you are not afraid of buttons it is something that really does affect others and yet whilst "we" can accept peoples fears of the dark and ghost and failingvthe less common fears might mean we think the person us strange or odd ? yet aren't all fear irrational. Maybe my image is saying we are all afraid of something and maybe we should be glad it isn't buttons.

I agree, a lot of fears are not rational and I am indeed glad I'm not afraid of buttons! ;)

Sorry didn't mean to rant and I understand your orginal point but I struggled with the topic so I took a "loose" view of the theme and looked for a "fear" to photograph. As the "Dark" was going to test the bounds of what a photograph is owing to the fundamently lack of light !!

I think this week will be a Joker "sigh"
 
Fear : I like it, and the DOF is good, but it doesn't say fear to me I'm afraid... Without the explanation... it would be a shot of buttons... I'm afraid I can't think of a way to incorporate that into the image...
