Clicking Mad Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 hmm I wonder if you did bokeh during the day rather than night as it's explained you'd get over-looked? neither of these are particularly good, but they give you the idea this is pretty much all I've done ... I have ideas but nothing more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabrador Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 That's really cool Sam. I never thought of using it during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellatrix Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 That is actually quite effective, Clicking Mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clicking Mad Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 thanks it's interesting 'cause, I've not thought of bokeh as being a night-time shot, but obviously I watched the video and it seems expected to be at night the stars show up much clearer at night, not sure I could get a well defined star during the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The bokeh challenge is being judged by Chris Bray - I'm sure he won't mind if you do it during the day for a different effect. He is going to be looking at hundreds of entries so having something a little different to everyone else might be good... I think it's easier to do bokeh at night which is why they recommend it but he did say it's experimental so I'm guessing the idea is that you play around with it.

Kirislin Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I've been mucking around with it in daylight too. It's a pretty effect with light glinting throught the leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 cant wait for dark, I've set up my bokeh shot. It looks funny cause I dont have a tripod so my camera is sitting on a box which is on top of a stool. I've already focussed it, I just have to hope the whippets dont knock it in the meantime. Oh I so hope this works. It looks good in my head, whether or not it will in real life remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicking Mad Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 dismal failure I have to come up with something else. oh that's no good! I hate it when that happens, and it happens all too often. I have a little bit of a fantastical idea with the paint and I suspect that will just be a dismal failure as well, not gonna stop me from trying though hehehe terra - I've just been writing ideas down, but I really need to stop and take time to try some of them out 'cause, as above, they most likely won't look like I expect them to :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~*Shell*~ Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I'm in the city on saturday night for a creative conference. I have an idea that I want to try but it'll take a whole heap of planning because of the conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellatrix Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 dismal failure I have to come up with something else. Oh bummer!

Bellatrix Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 It's supposed to be raining all week here so I doubt I'll get a chance to give any of the briefs a go until the weekend or next week. At least I've got next week off of work so that will give me some extra time. Where in SA are you from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bow Wow Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Has anyone taken any photos yet???? The one I put on here is the only thing I have taken. I am feeling very overwhelmed about it atm. I get ideas, but find it hard to put into practice. So have photographed nothing. I really need to get my but into gear. :D Is anyone else struggling????

Yep, I had great plans for one shot that looked great in my head but putting in into practice was impossible, even though I didn't imagine it would be that hard. Maybe we're taking it too seriously, it's supposed to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicking Mad Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I know! I got the email that uploading has now started It might be worth going and having a look and seeing what others are doing, or have a look at the flickr group - they may be able to help with ideas canonphoto5 flickr group I have ideas, not brilliant but ideas just the same. Today is the first day the weather has co-operated enough to be able to really give them a real go! But, we'll see :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
