Re: Contest 46: Adobe roadshow
Before I make a Friday Challenge entry, I think of exactly how I want the montage to look, and then challenge myself to create the image in my head. I always strive to create something original, but I couldn't think of anything to make for this project for quiet awhile. I sat and thought for an hour about what I should make (while doing other stuff of course), and this is what I came up with.

I noticed a really bad error and had to redo it _________________ If you lend someone 20$ and never see them again... It's money well spent |

Re: Contest 46: Adobe roadshow
What a great week of entries! See what I mean, eventer, about having a camera so small you've always got it with you… During a brief identity change as krousen56, Neal gave us three truly fantastic entries - the Quark train bearing down on the tracks, the flaming taxi, and (my favourite) the Adobe pitstop squad changing wheels. I don't know how you have so much time to do these, but I'm really grateful - excellent work, with some really great ideas in there. Looks like you really had fun with them! Always good to welcome a new member, and Jer has given us a great sense of speed in this taxi rally. A couple of minor points: the people standing in the background are much too big - it would have been fairly easy to reduce just them, replacing the space around them with more blurrred background. And I'd really like to have seen some mud spattering off those wheels! But a really good first effort, welcome to the forum. Yellow Submarine was one of those childhood movies you never forget - so it's great to see it recreated in Glen's fantasy interpretation. A great, realistic colour change on the car, and the sense of perspective is spot on. Really good work, there. And all the flowers are made from Adobe CS logos, too - what a bonus! Brilliant! Raymardo has returned, with a subtle placing of the taxi on a lawn. It's cleverer than it looks: the toning perfectly matches the surroundings, and there's a view through the windows that wasn't there before. Opening doors like this is tricky, and this is a very close effort. Somehow it looks a little too big to fit properly - I'll have to look into this one and find out why. Welcome back! Great flipping work from MJ - turning all those logos around in a convincing way is much, much harder than it looks (and if the rest of you haven't tried it, I can recommend it as a great exercise). The interior windows have been expertly cut out, giving us a great view of the scene behind. This was a really tricky job, very well accomplished. We always get a different approach from Atomicfog, and this week's no exception: a great off-the-wall approach, with that tricky door-opening thing again. A couple of points: the hand, of course, is too out of focus, but I appreciate it's difficult when photographing your own hand. I recommend photographing hands in a mirror: that way you can get more distance on them. And that windscreen's too opaque for my liking… I'm sure I should recognise the setting of tweaknik's entry. Is that Mars? Or the Sahara? Seems too expansive for your local beach. So I'll assume it's Mars, and you've added the taxi to match the original piece of debris in the background - in which case, it's a great job. That weird light flare sparkles up the highlights perfectly, and you've achieved a real sense of the brightness of the sun on the scene. (If it's Brighton beach, however, I want my pier back.) So, how did Einstein D Kid turn that taxi around to create a different view? He didn't, of course - it's a different taxi. But top marks for making it the right kind of white, for fixing the number plate and Adobe logo onto it, and for setting it in a perspective-appropriate scene. And I do like those faded Ferrari stickers on the front. Best of all, top marks for having the idea in the first place. You've earned youself a title at last, kiddo! I can't offer you anything quite as grand as Adobe Ambassador - but Teen Trickster is now yours. Well done! |

Well, I didn't photograph my own hand, although I'm sure that would have been a little less blurry. _________________ -Atomic |

Einstein, rent it if you like music and/or movies. It's a classic. The Beatles - Yellow Submarine. It was not a 'childhood' movie for me, more of a teenager movie. 
I am sorry I can't always join in, the show season (for horses) is pretty demanding, but I really enjoy the Friday challenge and I look forward to reading Steve's critique and taking a butcher's at the new challenge. You have convinced me Steve, I am committed to keeping my Fuji 6800 (little camera) to always have it with me. I agree, the most fun photos are often unplanned, Meanwhile, I am reading up on photography and waiting till I have time to take a day off and go hang out in some camera shops. |
