Brain Shannow's
boastful claims of a new thread in March failed to materialise, so here we are.
A thread in which to post photos and to comment on the work of others. More for soliciting/offering criticism and discussing technique than for showcasing the latest shot you've fallen in love with, but a wee bit of that now and then is probably okay. If you're bothered by the notion that people might alter your work in Photoshop and repost it, in an instructional capacity, then please, do say so when you post the images in question.
The hard and fast rules, nicked from Brian:
- Only one post containing pictures per day
- One to three pics maximum is probably most manageable.
- Pics MUST be your own work.
- If you can, try and include some shooting data with your images, shutter speed, film type, camera, aperture etc, easy to do with extracted EXIF data from digital shots
- Don't post the same picture more than once (unless you have modified it in some way, obviously)
- For the love of the Gods, keep images posted in here under 800x600 (or link to the larger verions in the gallery)
- Don't be a dick.
You mustn't pause, hesitate, repeat a word, or say a word I don't like... otherwise you get a bash on the head. The one with the most bruises loses. Now look at each other and go bleaugh.
This was a 15-second exposure, with the lens covered and the camera rotated on its tripod halfway through to give two (roughly) 5-second exposures in one image. After a lot of trial and error, this is the one that worked.
The red channel was then pasted over the image as a new layer, and its blending mode was set to Hard Light. Might've had a polarising filter on, too.
