Viking 0 #1 October 12, 2004 Glassware and reflective objects that little jar was a BITCH to light. we had to put white foam core boards and sheets all around it b/c that gold top was like VERY VERY wide angle lens and reflected everything in the damn studio. lol the Globe was a littler easier. That 24k gold flake in an oil of some kind. I had to mark the globes spot on the mat, swirl it around as fast as i could, then set it back down without knocking over the stones and click the shutter before the gold stopped moving completely.I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The comp on the stones picture, you have the ball offset to the left, when taking shots like that with a very central focus point, if the focal object is not centred correctly it looks wierd (to me as a former judge), you could still crop some off of the right side to try and even it a little? (Just IMHO though) Somthing like the attached, maybe ?You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

Zee 0 #20 October 13, 2004 Nice shots V- I like the way you didn't completely blur out the background on the shot of the globe. It's just enough. Good job Action©Sports Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 3 #22 October 13, 2004 Also, Viking, you might want to consider the "Rule of Thirds" or some other "rule" of composition (there are several). For instance, take a look at this grid I placed over your original globes photo. Just by centering the main object on the right third, it makes for a totally different "statement". Not that symetery isn't good, but if you're going to do that, a freekish amount of attention to detail in the over all centering pays some extra dividends. You might also want to check out some other compositional rules like phi and square root of five. Just some ideas. It's all good.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #23 October 13, 2004 Paul one too many lines on each axis, thirds grids look like tick tack toe boards OK the centre lines are for image centre sorryYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Viking 0 #24 October 13, 2004 yes i know about the rule of thirds. i was just in a huge hurry to get things done and didn't fully think over that setup.I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
