Week 1 Sin

DSC_2863_-_Copy_2_edited-1.jpg


A Sin perpetrated by the Dark Side
 
Oh good god, I think that may be a sin too far. I'll have nightmares tonight.
 
Hmmmm, it's a Cannon, where's the Sin :D

Good idea. Well lit and composed. I'd like to see three holes (rule of odds :D.

Nice start.

Cheers.
 
haha, I wish I'd thought of that - I even have that cup next to me now :)

Yeah you are right Andy - really no sin to us if it is a Cannon :D

Considered the 3 idea but settled on the 2 as thought that the intro of the other items and the implied cut out at the lhs with the cut-out piece gave a good balance

Karl12347 said:
Great idea but my wife has pointed out it is one of those lens cups from Hawkins bizarre. Still a good shot though

And there i was thinking that the reason I could not fit it to the Nikon was because it was the wrong mount :puke:

Thanks folks for the kind words. I hoped that it was humourous and wanted to try to avoid the food/drink.chocs route.
 
Thanks for making me laugh too - great idea.

I will watch this thread for future interest!
 
very amusing I'm sure thats a proper sin, I didn't think about it being a cup at first I thought that it was very brave or foolish :LOL:
 
Hi Allan.....where'd you spring from :D

Now that made me laugh....brilliant bit of thinking mister so for that alone a mahoooooosive :clap:

Only slight crit....maybe the cropped top of the mug ?

Thank you for giving me a much needed giggle matey (y)
 
very good take on the theme.. guessed it was a lens mug... but did check, just in case ;)
 
A fun start to your 52 Allan, I like your thinking behind the image.
No real crit to add, I can see Andy's thinking behind having three cutouts but I think it is balanced as is. There is an implied third hole, it works. (y)

Thanks all for the comments. I am pleased as it has been well received.

Lynne - take the point about the crop but had a line of grout behind where the tiles meet the worktop so cropped it out.
 
Hi Allan, a different take on the theme but bang on all the same.

Technically good, nice even lighting and compositionally spot on.
A small crit though, the crop is a little too tight IMHO. I would like to have seen the tops of the points at the top of the image.
Not sure if it was possible to get all the needle in too but I may be being a little picky.
Not long for the new theme. Cheers Iain(y)
 
siblingchris said:
Cool. I like the fact it's different and that I have no idea what it is :)

Thanks Chris(?). It is a tide clock. It has one hand which you set to the high or low tide if you live near the sea and it moves round the dial in about 12.5 hours. That means that you can look at it at any time to see the state of the tide

Thanks Ian. Agree about the crop - I need to look at original again. On the needle, I wanted to wait for it to go round but i was out when it would have been at the 2 or 1, and in bed the other time :D

Perhaps a decent shot trying to get out :shake:
 
agree with Iain nothing to add its nice to see something different too
 
Dark Knight said:
Hey Alan :)

Season - Very nice, love the crop and how even it is lit, very original (y)

Kerioak said:
Sin - good shot but immediately thought lens cup rather than an actual lens, so maybe did not work on me as well as it should have done :)

Season - great take on the theme would have liked to see the metal bit in the middle a bit sharper as the image looks a little soft so something sharp might have helped.

Christine - thanks for the comments - points noted.
 
Missed this one - is it in the pictures thread? (probably is :bonk:)

Can imagine it would have been tempting to try with shallow DOF, but I'm glad you didn't.

Lynne, Graham thanks for the comments.
As usual now falling behind - no gravity yet, but maybe today. Not because of circumstance but shots I have taken thus far are pants. :bang:
 
Certainly made me smile when it came up - lighting not a major negative for me.

I'm not sure about the chopped in half by the crop apple - maybe an apple really chopped in half and then put more "into" the shot would work.

I learned - sometime you need to set up the shot couple of different ways - rather than just taking lots of shots of one setup. But that takes time which sometimes you just don't have!

But i think you've ended up with a really good shot - perfectly on theme. :clap:
 
Thanks Graham

The apple is whole and the ruler balanced on it. So the other problem that I had was that the ruler threw a shadow onto the base of the surround and no matter what i did I could not get rid of it. So I opted to 'cut' it in half with the crop. I had all sorts of light set ups - static halogens either sideto the front, incandescents at the rear both sides, fill flash and ocf above. Still struggled. Am envious of those who can produce clear white b/g - do not have the technique
