~*Shell*~ Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I have one photo that's for practically black - and an idea for the hundreds and thousands and the paint but shooting either of them in the next couple of days is going to be hell!

Bellatrix Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 JS I know what you mean. I just had a look at the flickr page and saw something that I was going to do.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'm struggling with a bokeh theme - the already submitted ones just don't do it for me at the moment. Quite a few of them are christmassy and I want to do something different! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clicking Mad Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 oh I know all the ideas I have will have been done, originality is almost impossible I think I did have fun with some shooting today, the results weren't wow, but I'm sure I'll manage to go with something, if not I can see clearer where I can make some improvements I can highly recommend just taking some pics ... if that's any help to anyone ... even if you think they've been done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becandcharch Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I had my first go today.. I agree with Clicking Mad - Just start taking some pics. I like this one but dont think its clever enough. It did give me some ideas of another shots to do. Surprise surprise I used my dog! I like to call it ..

becandcharch Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Aww poor Bindi!! She is just itching for that blob to drop into her mouth I could not stop laughing when I was taking this. He looked so funny because the shirt was massive on him. he reminded me of E.T when they wrapped him up If anyone else needs their tax done, Charch comes very cheap. Hes happy for you to pay him in liver treats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clicking Mad Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) haha cool you guys!! see what did I tell you about originality? - bec, that's the same shot I took, minus the shirt and swap the dog for a dalmatian I named mine: "The unhappy white collar worker" or there's another I've titled: "The Mad Scientist" I think I may submit one of mine ... not sure, last year I took heaps of practise shots then changed everything, took more shots, and ended up submitting the later ones, but regretted not going with the first idea I actually had to do some research on how to tie a tie - went via google, then youtube had a video ... how's that for dedication! oh and I had to make a special trip to buy the tie in the first place! And I bought the back-drop (black sheet)! Is that Charch? How did he enjoy the photoshoot, he looks pretty happy to me eta: oops he obviously enjoyed himself with liver treats So do your guys Bindi Edited September 29, 2009 by Clicking Mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought to myself 'I wonder how many dolers will use their dog for this shot' Luckily Charch is pretty happy to go along with the sillyness I ask him too. When theres food involved hes anyones. I cheated and found a tie already done in hubbys closet. Wouldnt have a clue how to do one otherwise! Has anyone tried the hundreds and thousands shot? Im struggling to get a nice macro shot with the lenses I have Really looking forward to seeing what everyone else somes up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashanali Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Ahhhhh!!!! I JUST had an idea for the hundreds and thousands I just need to get my hands on a decent macro lens now. I'm excited. I have an idea for the glasses but need to rope in a model. No ideas for anything else as yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) After a loooooong think about it I have an idea for the hundreds and thousands and the glasses too but I don't know how either of them will turn out - I'll have to see tonight. I need a macro lens for the hundreds and thousands but I don't have one and don't know anyone who i could rope in to lend me one (my friends who have them all have nikons!) so I'll have to make do. I had an awesome idea for the bokeh image too but I need to go into the city to get the shot and I now don't have time. Other than that, I had no ideas so I guess I'm not entering the bokeh competition. That photo is to die for Bec! I looooooooooove Charch!

becandcharch Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yup I need to get my hands on a macro lense too. I thought about buying a lense extender for my 50mm as I read somewhere that works for macro shots. I need to do some more reading on it. Has anyone done this and does it work? Dont we have until the 1st Nov Shell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 You can turn your lens around to do a macro cheat. Google it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll teach me to not read the book properly! Bring on the bokeh experiment!! Hmmm - maybe I'll have to use one of my friend's *gasp* nikon DSLRs to get the shot I want of the hundreds and thousands.
