Very nice Krystian...

I'm glad to see that someone has set this new theme off to a good start...

Tantalisingly Freudian Kristian,

You never fail to amaze and reward - thank you.

Cheers,

Thanks guys. Actually this exercise brought to me thought about an interesting series

did anyone think to take a picture of the screen while the site was down last weekend?

..into a million pieces

I dont know how youe have doen it, but looks interesting. I would lift up a bit levels for cyans so texture would be more visible. Now effect is too subtle to hit at first sight.

It looks that is really brokes, isnt it?

Just a thought what if there would be posibility to put a guy behind and make his portrait?

what you see is the tempered glass from advertising billboard of bus shelter. when i walked pass the broken glass i thought is was the effect of the advertisment. but vandals has smashed the glasss.

second question, what is it advertising??

Had been thinking about how to interpret this theme and there it was staring me in the face.

18-55 kit lens, 55mm, 1/250 sec, f22, iso 800

Yet again I am amazed by the colour quality from the D50 John. The lens looks to be a very capable unit as well

Thanks, Chris.

I couldn't be happier with how it performs, especially for the $$$$. Decent kit and the magnificent images posted on the forum has inspired me to lift my game so its all good.

Just won a 50mm f1.8 on ebay, looking forward to playing with that.

Cheers, John D

My first post.

Hope that more people get out there and get a "broken" image together for this theme.

Here is my effort. Hopefully the snail did not die invain.

Now - if i can just come up with something special for "movement" i will be happy man.

Broken Through...

Over the last few months, we've been renovating our house, adding another floor on top... We've finally reached the stage where they break through the walls and ceilings to put the staircase in...

You wouldn't believe the amount of dust in the house...
I'm keeping my camera and kit in the car until they've finished...

Leek, you should offer to help them out with a blow job from the rocket

Hi,

This thread hasn't been too busy this month, everybody too busy with Challenge 7. Finally found something, I broke this glass while taking it out of the dishwasher



Taken with D70s, 50/1.4, 4.5A, 1/1000S.

Not much PP, just cropped the base of the glass out, was just sitting on a retaining wall.

Ah well, some good things come out of mishaps , got a photo for this thread.

Cheers,

Radar,
Find something to throw into the air and capture it for the challenge 7: "Movement"

John - where do you park the car

excellent lighting on this one Chris. An interesting take on a broken cracker (pun intended)

Thanks Craig - I was aiming for a low keylight to give a bas relief effect - in other words an accident

Broken....no idea but i gave it my best shot


Ps me = PS noob

Taken with D70+24-120 VR

Very nice Blackwater... Great concept

There seems to be a halo around the pencil though and almost some ghosting that looks like the lines on the paper have been erased??? How did you do that?

haha phew i thought i screwed up or something ^^

Umm the halo...i just used the blur tool...before adding filter i randomly ran the blur tool around.

ps thanks for the comment leek

=BlackWater=

Blackwater...

I really like this... well done

and its nearly as good as your avatar and signature

OK, a disappointing number for the October challenge... Time for Krystian Polak to cut & paste the rules into a new thread and set us another challenge for November...
I'll put together a gallery of the October entries soon...

Maybe lets other user indicate the subject. I already have done it.

What about you Radar?

K.Polak
