Is you monitor calibrated?.... good proceed

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

just playing around with a piece of white paper and a packet of mentos for that high key look

natural light from window to the left (diffused by a sheer curtain) and a little bounced back from another piece of paper to the right to soften the shadows

Very nice, Keith!

But obviously you missed Monday's Mythbusters episode, otherwise you'd know that for "playing around" with mentos you need a bottle of diet cola... :D

Cheers
Steffen.

None of my screens are calibrated but I can see the Mentos, and its a really cool affect.. (there isn't a white DP challenge on atm is there?, coz this looks like a blue ribbon to me)

Edit: Oops, 104th in a Circle theme.. ouch. I think it suits white better.

Nicely done, especially considering the simple lighting setup.

I would say that a lot of their monitors aren't calibrated so they just saw a white page and they do like their over saturated shots there :(
and it was only just a quick last min entry with little planing but lots of care in shooting.... but just wait till they have a high key challenge

I'm glad my monitor is calibrated, but getting old to not reveal certain highlight details, or shadow details should that be :lol:

How ironic - my Huey turned up in my PO box today and I had *just* calibrated prior to launching my browser to visit the forums :)

Great pic, it does indeed look significantly better calibrated than not!

Now to look at some of my own pics *lol*

Cheers

Leigh
(PS Thanks to DaveB for the prompt delivery & discount on the Huey)
