blacklabrador Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 give him a bottle of wine!Works for me. I was seriously considering giving the pointer some valium earlier. He'd be so beautiful to paint but I can't get the friggin door of his crate open without him jumping up and wanting to play!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripley Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Terranik, that looks great with all those colours - were you tired today? Pointeeblab, your shot is clearer than my dog shot, mine was terrible. She would not stay still enough. Tonight I used these old cigarette tins which belonged to my late grandfather. I use them to hold spare buttons or a small sewing kit. The background is a really old, once shiny cake tin which belonged to my grandmother but I still use it occasionally. Thought a sepia conversion fitted the era, I think these ciggie tins are from the 1940s. 20 seconds, ISO 100. Cellophane over torch to give a soft focus. here's the straight out of the camera colour version, different position I tried a red plastic document sleeve over the torch on this one Edited July 6, 2009 by Ripley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerraNik Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Wow, what an influx of photos!! They are all great!! Ripley I really love the texture of the tin you used for the background! Nice!! And yes! I was very tired today, however I didn't have uni til the afternoon so I had a nice sleep-in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) I don't think the red plastic sleeve works in the last shot but it's all an experiment. It's amazing what you can find in the house isn't it? Great shots, guys. I'm off to bed. After photographing really old cigarette tins, I feel I should read some Noel Coward before bed ...

TerraNik Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 You're right, Ripley! I am LOVING this month's challenge! I don't think I would have ever come across this technique and I am really enjoying doing something a little different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabrador Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Nice cigarette tins Ripley! R n A - that fruit one is perfect. I think that's really the effect that we're supposed to be trying to achieve there - like it's been painted. Awesome!! And Ashanali thought we'd hate this challenge!! It's only the 6th and we're getting better every day! CARN GIRL!!! BRING ON THE NEXT ONE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal House Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I've tried for 3 nights now, with different torches/lights, camera settings and subjects....and I just can't get it. I was in tears tonight through sheer frustration. The only salvagable one from about 45 pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iltby Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Huga, can I ask how you managed to focus when you did the self portrait? Well, my camera is just a little point and shoot, so I put it on 'starry sky' mode, stuck it on my bedside table and set the self timer for 2 seconds. The torch is on my bed head, facing down so most of the light is blocked out. Is that what you meant? Yes, thanks a lot Excellent shot, I actually thought it was light streaming in from a window - love the effect you've created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocco Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Calvin this time. I tried to do some different exposures but his coat was really hard as the white would keep blowing out. You sort of had to paint around him. He was a bit of a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have exactly the same Craven tins. Same writing, same colour! They were the first thing I thought to take photos of for this challenge but mine didnt turn out so good Edited July 6, 2009 by becandcharch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the torch out the other night and he ran head-first into a wall to try and catch it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~*Shell*~ Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I can quite easily get it on video! Mow goes nuts when i get the torch out. I can't do this challenge with him in the room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clicking Mad Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 it's my brother's birthday today so I got the camera out last night to make him a quick light-writing Happy Birthday e-card kind of thing ... then couldn't put the camera away ... I'm using a small key-chain light that I accidently found out fit inside this blue bottle this shot the light is filtered through the blue bottle above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Oooo - I love the second one CM! Is that a melted candle? The base of it look ominous! Not part of the challenge but I decided I would try and get a good photo of Mow so you can see the idiot who ruins my photos: One day I'll learn to use textures - these would look so much better with a texture over them to make them look aged! And the mandatory fruit bowl (yes, I did intend to keep the tags on the lemon - my modern take on a favourite renaissance still-life painting ): I have the best idea for another shot but I'm going to have to get someone to help me - i need 2 hands to be in the shot and a hand to move the torch around!
