    Mini Competition #104

    Here's how it works ...

    - You good folks post images in the thread (please change your post title to a name for your picture)

    - When we get 10 images we will attach a voting poll

    - After 3 days the poll closes and the winner is declared!

    - If you would especially like some critique after the competition poll closes, please make it known in the post

    Too easy eh?

    Limit of 1 image per post, and 2 image posts per person.

    If there are already 10 in the current comp, please start a new thread in this forums

    Cheers,

    Re: "Out to Pasture"

    As Steve might say; Cor, that's shiny!

    Looks too new to be 'put out to pasture' as in retirement sense.

    Cheers,

    Re: "Out to Pasture"

    I should have put myself in the scene with the car.The title would have been closer to the feeling I was going for.
    I might try that next chance I get.

    Thanks, Alis. It's a blue tinted 'daylight bulb'. I fitted it to a table lamp that had a variable power level dimmer, and turned it to low power (the filament is actually lit in the shot, as you can probably see). I used a diffused studio flash to get that nice blue sheen on the reflection. The light was on the left, and I used a reflector on the right to bounce back some light. That's why it has that weird dark shape in the centre. It took me a while to get it right. The EXIF is here Don't know why it says that flash didn't fire, because it did - perhaps because I was using a radio trigger? Anyone know why that is?

    The Moon, the Stars and the Lone Tree

    Here is my entry for this mini competition:

    The Moon, the Stars and the Lone Tree

    I have taken photos for this lone tree for 3 years. This year (late July) I finally got a chance to take a shot with a full moon over this tree. Some stars were revealed around the moon as well. With the full moon just above the tree, the tree was much brighter than it was in any other night times.

    I have been searching for a lone tree to photograph at different times of day and season but without success.
    Don't worry, I will not be stealing yours as I live the other side of the world (and don't drive).
    If I could produce an image like this I would regard it as justification for the cost of my equipment.

    Three years well spent!!

    Re: The Moon, the Stars and the Lone Tree

    Howard,
    Thanks for your comments. It is quite surprising that finding a lone tree that is suitable to be photographed is not so easy. Fortunately this tree is just in my campus. Now this tree has become famous in our university as during the last couple of years I have had several photos of it hung in our exhibition hall.

    Regards,

    Yan

    It seems no one wants to finish this one off, so here is an apple to end this comp.

    Mini Competition #104

    That should be 10. Carry on here
