Challenge 698: Lost in the supermarket
As you may have read, the UK had some weather recently. For a country that talks about little else you'd think we'd be quite adept at dealing with weather, but the snow that enveloped us a couple of weeks ago meant the whole country ground to a standstill. My local supermarket ran out of bread. Can you think what else they might put on these empty shelves. High res is here.  |

Mine ran out of bread and milk - "Quick - we may be snowed in for ages - lets buy the most perishable food in the shop!" _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

HAHAHAHA! Reminds me of when I lived in Rhode Island. They did the same thing too when a storm was approaching. But, they'd also buy every battery, torch and candle. I remember once before a storm looking for candles. All the shops had left were the kind you put on birthday cakes. I'll be out for one more week. Then I hope to start in on the new animation program Gordon found. _________________ I'm still learning. |

Here people also stock up on water. With Easter I guess people will be stocking up on everything. Can't understand why people have to buy so much just because shops will be closed for 2 days. _________________ Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize. |

This looks easy ... but is really nasty! Cutting around all those wire supports to fill them is truly the stuff of nightmares. This is definitely one that needs to be approached laterally not literally ...... _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

I managed to get there in time to get the very last loaf - and very tasty it is too.  _________________ Time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana. |

Excellent. |

Re: Challenge 698: Lost in the supermarket
First to stock the shelves this week was Linda Eckert, with a beautifully composed entry featuring chickens on a grassy floor. An ingenious solution, fitting perfectly into the perspective of the space. I like all the extra signs, and especially the woman on the left carrying a chicken over her shoulder. Excellent. A loaf of HotChiPs special from GKB - "real granary bread with real British pixels", eh? Cute. But that's a very over-saturated baker for this muted scene, and quite a short one too. Still, natty uniform. I enjoyed lwc's solution - let 'em bake their own bread, eh? Neatly stocked shelves, and I like the couple of bags in the trolley; that aisle 3 cutout is a clever way of showing what's in store. Or, rather, what isn't. Marie Antoinette has been reincarnated, in the unlikely form of Ben Mills: a haunting scene, transplanting the shopper into a dark alley. But it wouldn't take much to make the perspective of the end wall match that of the end of the trolley: 
An excellent solution from Jota120, with a stall selling all manner of oriental goodies - but not enough to tempt our shopper, it appears. A great angle, matching the scene perfectly. I really liked this one. Give the customers what they want - that's the message from DavidMac, with his bare shelves neatly covered by a sheet and now stocking winter essentials. Almost there: you just need to stick a couple of skis over her shoulder and you're done. A glistening winter scene from tooquilos, the shop now selling... snowballs? There's an enterprising manager. I like the opening of the animated version, starting outside the store; and then a subtle interior, with a flickering light and leaking roof. I liked the checkout scene, and the self service screen - you really pay a lot for snowballs in Australia! But I suppose there is the scarcity value. Very neatly placed snow shovels and sledges from Ant Snell, with a hastily altered bread sign - nicely achieved. I particularly like how the shopper is carrying a shovel in her trolley, with the shopper in the distance carrying a second one over her shoulder. Did she get the last yellow one in the store? I thought Mariner had ignored the original image for a moment, but no - that's our shopper, with new legs and a walking stick, admiring the goods in the bread museum. I like how you've kept the pillar from the original, and added that spectacular view. And good work coping with the extreme perspective. |

Thanks Steve. Maybe you should buy yourself a new camera.  |
