weekly Mattel's 52+ 2012 number 13 added 21/04/12

[Matt L]

well... as i havent touched my camera properly since october time, i have made the decision to go ahead with a new project to get me back using the camera.

It will be a minimum of 52 but hopefully more as i get back into it, will all depend on my spare time.

but as the title says it will be all around quotes/lyrics i find/read/hear etc (ideas also welcomed as im only upto 34 at the moment ).

anywho... first one.

1.

I know its grainy but after reshooting at a much lower iso i actually prefered this one.

as always comments/criticism are welcomed.

Happy 2012
Matt

Great idea and since your doing it from quotes etc and the first is a Winston Churchill one it does give me an idea for a quote to use

“Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.
Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.”

A great start to your challenge and good luck with it

todays shot, 2 layers, couldnt work out how to get my mate to stand totally stil for 30 seconds and a bit rushed with it being freezing outside so best of a bad bunch, also had a play with light painting, think i will wait until a slightly warmer night for a better go (they look good on the camera but not so good when on the computer).

#2 and #3 are fantastic! Well done!

 

[Matt L]

Cheers I like 2 but think 3 could be much better, think I'll give it another try later in the year.

4.

not really happy with how this turned out tbh may try it again at some point when i have more time, did have another idea last night about this one but would be awkward to arrange.

5.

i had a slight addiction to ncis before christmas so inspired from that tbh, do like the moto though.

Some cracking ideas Matt, and very well taken, looks like i'm going to really enjoy this thread

 

[Matt L]

cheers, your user name has reminded me of one that i will try soon before it starts getting too light in a morning

 

[Matt L]

Number 7

no body got any comments on any of these?

 

[Southdowns]

I like everything about that; composition, colours and tones, interpretation, DoF, even the old look of the cards

But not the caption; I think that turns a great image into a cheap motivational poster Sorry, but it's such a good image that it really doesn't need it.

 

[Matt L]

Thanks , i get what you mean about the quote, do you think a better quote would help it?

 

[Southdowns]

To be honest, I don't. I think the image does all the talking anyway, so that there's no need for a caption.

took 3 trips to get this one and im still not happy 100% happy with it, think it would of been better moving slightly further down the path.

9.

I like this one just wish the road was bit busier and the light trails were longer.

Hi Matt


loving this thread...of the shots so far nu 5 satnds out a mile...simple & emotive....

 

[Matt L]

Hi, thanks its quite possibly my favourite shot so far tbh.

 

[Matt L]

well, im a month behind, I will be catching up soon but work/studying have to take priority at the moment .

 

[Matt L]

10.

I will reshoot this on a warmer night somewhere darker (and with better orbs) just because they dont pop as much as i would like them too, plus the star effect on the lights over powers it a bit.

 

[Matt L]

Slight update, still need to catch up.
