That is a nice image you have there. For those who don't know, that is Jfast and his gf's hands together.
So who gets this round folks? Ideas for next round? We are both very unmotivated lately so a good subject from you all will really push us along.
i like that a lot jfast. very cool idea and it turned out really well. love the high contrast :thumbsup:
Not sure how i feel about this shot but thanks for the feedback carly. :)
looks like a pic for a PSA ad. somethign Green Peace or othertree hugging organization would put out ;)
Very cool though!
I suggest the next subject matter of moving water.
Moving water? sounds good to me.
jfast?
moving water sounds fine...today is the 7th. when is the turn around date?
Sitting here with Jfast. We have decided to go ahead with moving water and to post our images by Monday night.
So watch for them :)

Sorry sorry sorry for the delay. Everytime we attempt this to move on school gets in the way. Next subject/theme?!
i likey ducky.
Very cool Wannabe...i'm digging the piercings.
Thanks. I definitely give this round to Jfast....
i have to say that your post production on that one Wannabe really is amazing. JFast....great waterfalls and post production too.
I'd personally call it a tie...which means you 2 have to keep going. :D
Well you came up with a great idea last time. So what shall it be?
The waterfall picture is good and the edited version is outstanding. Would I be correct in my assumption if I were assuming that all these photos in the various battles were being edited/improved/enhanced in Photoshop?Quote:

But if you guys have more ideas, keep them coming. Sunday night will be posting night.
sorry, i sat at work for 10 minutes trying to think of something cool and i then got distracted by actual work. Hmmm.....how about glass?
Glass sounds good. I am sure we will get to that in the next few weeks. I am trying to think of a good place for my long exposure now.
Challenge Bulb is on Wannabe.
I like glass, let the round begin...!
very nice shots to the both of youz
E, we are both tinkering with Bulb(long exposure) shots atm. Glass is next. Don't you worry they will come.

Nothing like I had in mind...oh well there it is.
The trees seem almost over processed in the background... I may like the original more actually.
The trees came out a lot more once I ran the image through USM. I wasn't planning on having this image be black and white. I wanted it to be color but when I was all done the colors didn't have that pop I was hoping for. I added a gradient map and started playing with that and got what I have posted.
So Jfast...?
i won't be posting until after my photo class tonight, sorry for the last minute volley.
Mine was very last minute. I took that last night like an hour before posting. If I knew I had another day!
bring it on!
Well i took this the Wednesday before thanksgiving and thought i would get a better shot and it turns out that the stars all went away:( well here is what a came up with...

So kids what do you all think of the long exposures in comparison?
Jfast, glass next? I have no idea of what to do with that subject. Save it for later or get it over with? I think if I am forced I can get something together this weekend :)
So goes anyone have any actual comments or crits for our photos? That was really the whole purpose of this thread was to get critical input on how to better our images. So post away with anything you feel is good or bad or changes etc.
both of your images in this round seemed to lack something. I think with both, they are missing a good central focal point.
Wannabe, while your's has a good foreground with the cylindrical building, there's nothing else that really draws my eye into the photo. I actually like the unprocessed one over the b&w.
Jfast, i see where you were going with this exposure, but the star trails seem more like star wars lasers or asteroids ready to hit earth ;) and stand out a tad too much. I really like the road with the brake lights. I know you said this version wasn't what you wanted to post. But that tree that's in the mid ground seems amazingly interesting, and maybe if you could have gotten a closeup photo near the tree, this compositition would ahve been great.
thanks for the crids. i wanted to do exactly what you were saying by getting closer to the tree but the clouds had other plans :)/ug. so whats next?
I guess we could go ahead with the glass one...get it over with. :)
