Weekly Photo Contest (Sep 4 - Sept 11) 2009
- Thread starter dmmcintyre3
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
I will not be here around the end of the contest. I will not be back until sunday. What should I do? Cut it short by a few hours? I will be leaving around 5 PM (The contest started at nine PM) (Eastern Time, with daylight saving active)
Cut it short and annouce the winner before you leave. We all get busy and things come up. We understand.
I echo Razeus' thoughts on this. Not the end of the world (by a long shot) and there will be another contest running for you to jump into when you get back.
Nicholie: must have been hard to do that with just one light, I would have thought parts of the photo would be overexposed while others underexposed
jake.f: That bird is perfectly frozen in that shot, but the bird just looks like it is falling and is just not my favorite
Chappers: That lightning is nice, and I am amased that you got it so clear in that shot.
emorydunn: Looks nice, Love that gostly effect of the girl
flosseR: That looks like it would have been hard to shoot handheld, Nice job on the camera handeling.
Zonyc: The dragonflies are not fillig much of the frame, I wish they were a little bigger
mrmayor92: The tree looks underexposed but that looks decent and the sun does look decent too.
sangosimo: The car looks like it was going fast so it did not show much becides the lights, Nice but the lights in the ceiling just don't to the photo much good
jdl8422: I just don't know why that one was submitted to this thread, It looks pretty normal. Simple though.
Maxxamillian: The boot are pretty and I do like it.
dcaero: This looks like a panting that was blown up above the org. size. Not that good of a picture
mattyb240: That is quite common view with the cars gone but the lights all that was showing. Anybody could do that with a tripod
Freewayjim: Pretty common nighttime city view, Looks OK
mikshayne: The humming bird's wings look like they are moving really fast, It is really easy to get those shots though, I think it is ok
jodelli: Pretty decent shot with the blur person, I think that it is OK but a little underexposed
nomad01: This has a nice sense of motion in it, and I like that the person is staying still with the cars
blownco: Another lightning shot, This is pretty but common, I think that it is pretty good.
micol124: This kinda looks like a failed attempt at tracking the dog while it was moving
steeveage: I like how the bridge looks. The cars look lie they are driving off of the bridge into the water. Good job
dibec: This looks like a beam of light is being shot past the camera, I do like how the car is not visible, I like it
JDDavis: Looks like the flower is just hanging there, I kinda like it
Nicholie: I like the way the cave looks, It is a nice photo
CK Williams: Relatively easy shot, looks pretty common though.
Third
Love the lighting and how the person is not blurry, This is close too.
Second
Interesting effect, Looks like the bridge is ending. That is a close second
Nice photo with the girl looking like a ghost, I like it the most. How did you move her into the frame without there any blur from her coming in?
There was lots of photos I liked in this thread. This was good
emorydunn: You get to post the next thread
Gotta go, Bye

58 seconds ... one light ...
Now that the contest is over, I'd like to express my admiration for this photograph. I saw it in another thread first and had to stop what I was doing and appreciate it for a while. It's simply sublime. It's not only beautiful and well composed, it's ripe with metaphorical significance. What was causing the red light in the foreground, by the way?
I second the question on the "winning" picture.
Question on the critique of my dog photo... how to improve? I liked that it has some sharpness while still showing movement, thought now that I look at it I realize it doesn't look as good in JPG adapted for web... uhm... how to convert it from raw while keeping it looking better? (I have PSCS3)
Also, how's the composition? The picture was meant to be a normal shot but I forgot the camera was set on a slow shutter speed... but I got a few good pictures by surprise
Thanks for the C&C

Wow, I'm very happy. This is the first contest I've won anywhere with my photos (although it is one of the few I've entered).
As for the question: She moved fast. She started off in frame and then on my queue ran out of frame. I think she was in frame for about 15 seconds.
I'll have a new contest posted tomorrow.
Again, thank you!

Cool photo to win with - Congrats
I also liked steeveage's picture.
Thanks to dmmcintyre3 for judging and commenting when we all realise that you were in a rush. Good job.
While I appreciate any feedback, I would not say "anybody could do that with a tripod" is really appropriate. It all takes time to get the correct exposure for all the different sources of light in the picture. Mine was a single shot straight out of the camera.
No offence but I feel as though your critique on everybody's photos wasn't exactly helpful, you say most of these are common, but that was the theme you picked so what did you expect?
Congrats to the winner! A stunning photo!
