We are going abstract this time around
 
...The subject for Challenge #10 is...... RED The directions are that you must shoot something that relates closely to the above words, that the viewer can easily interpret your work in the form of "RED". This could include anything in nature, sports, people, your mother's lingerie, etc. that requires a subject that represents the color red. Just do a google image search for the color red and you'll find lots of inspiration. RULES: 1. You will have 2 WEEKS to produce your image. End Date is 26 January 2016 2. Only one image per person. Make it your best. 3. If you are having problems technically or conceptually, you can post an in-progress image along with an appeal for the community to make suggestions on how to make it better 4. This is not a contest. There are no winners/losers. After your image is uploaded, the community can then critique in a constructive way. No assholish behavior when it comes to critiques. Likewise, anybody who has hurt feelings can be given virtual hugs as recompense. 4. Images have to be produced within the two-week time period. No reaching back to archives to find something you did 2mo ago and posting it up.  This goes with the philosophy that your last shot is the most important shot.
5. OLD RULE: You must critique the previous photo before you can post yours. The first to post a photo obviously doesn't have to critique, but it is appreciated that they do so on the last photo posted in the contest. If you see a photo that hasn't been critiqued, feel free to do so as we are all learning. P.S. If you already know exactly what you're going to shoot, still take some time before posting it. Do some research and really think about it, or go shoot it twice. If 2wks is too long, we will shorten it down to 1, but that will be voted on. GOOD LUCK |

I'm not saying you should do the same, but I received permission to post a way over the line picture here in the photo forum as part of a technical discussion.
Your mileage may vary of course. |

I had this one a long time ago in a photography class. However, we were required to do it with black & white film. That was fun.

Okay, don't know anything about cameras or photography, so be gentle on me. This was taken with a Panasonic Lumix G7. The lens is that $25 Fujian 1.7 one that you can get off Ebay, people were posting about it in GD the other day. I call it, "Sunday afternoon drinking."

My only comment concerning the above image is...I don't get it.
I know there are letters there, but the sign itself is unfamiliar to me and thus I can't really figure out what this picture is trying to tell me. My entry, a macro stack (with a few little stacking errors  ) but I think it speaks for itself. The flower is some type of amaryllis that I borrowed from my mom.
Shot stats: 87 images ( ) shot with 50 making it into the final stack. I made sure to leave a few on each end to ensure I got what I wanted.
All shots were taken with these settings: D7200 Nikon 105mm D 1/250 f/8 ISO200 SB-910 bounced to about 4:00 @ manual 1/2 power. Processing was my usual flow in lightroom for the individual images. I did *not* mess with the saturation in them. Stack was performed initially in Zerene stacker, then taken to photoshop to try to correct as many of the stacking errors as I could manually. Applied a touch of manual sharpening there and exported the final image. Drum roll please!  red web by Zack, on Flickr

I like the focus and depth of field; it shows off the playing piece. It also tells a story which is good. I'd, however try framing it a bit differently. I'd like to see the red piece a bit more toward 1/3 in and 1/3 down. Your card is centered as is the red piece vertically. It puts the red piece too far to the left of the image. The card does not need to be in full view either. Even if you got a bit of the outside edge of the board and table in the frame it would be O.K. That might add a bit of interest as well.
Now for my entry. I should have taken a lot more shots, and with different exposures. As it was, it was a bit dark and I had to adjust the white point and neutral grey. I have tentatively titled it "After the Retrieve." I'm not sure on how well the dog tracks show up. (Note: this was completely staged---no animals were harmed to shoot this photo.) The camera was again my Nikon D50 with a 28-200 lens set at 28x and F3.5 The shutter speed was around 1600. Light was just overcast sky.

I like the concept, but it sounds like one of your objectives was to get the tracks in. I also have no idea what the red thing is. Leash? Retrieve dummy? Heck, the more I look at it the less I understand.
I bet you're not shooting raw; if you were you could do all sorts of things to bring out the tracks. My critique sounds harsh, but it's meant to be constructive! I suggest re-shooting in raw if you can, bringing it into Lightroom (or if you're cheap like me download the free Lightzone) and fiddle about with it. You might be surprised at what you can do in post. Now, for my entry: Red skies in morning, sailors take warning. Very apropos of Snowpocalypse Ought-16. 16mm, f/2.8, 1/160, ISO250. Oh, and judicious use of hue/sat/exp/etc. in post.  DSC_8591-Red Skies In Morning_lzn by FredMan, on Flickr

I thought about trying to add the dog, but it would add too much black, dwarf the shotshells even more, and give away the lie---she would be retrieving a training dummy instead of a bird or rabbit. I hope today or tomorrow the sun will come out and I can try again with more contrasting light. I'm thinking of adding the alert dog sitting waiting to be sent in the next one. |

First, he shadow under the blade looks a little odd due to the holes in the blade. it messes with the reflection. Second, reflections under the peppers look a little odd too me. Almost like shadows with a little too much recovery. Maybe its just the red on red... Id really love to see the same shot on something less reflective. |

Ok, so my redhead shoot got pushed back a few weeks. So, this will have to do.
I would have liked to back up a bit, but they were tearing up Pike Pl all the way to the middle of 1st Ave. I was also in the act of moving the light a little more to the front to light her face better, but a delivery truck jumped in and ruined the whole thing, so this was the one shot I got.

Wow. Really nice shot. I love the way all the light is reflected in the street. I love the way it tells a story. It almost makes you wish you were the guy, standing there with his best girl. If I had one criticism, I'd want the couple to be closer to the camera, but with a really wide depth of field, so they appeared larger, but you still had the same clarity in the scenery. I'd like to see more of them. Here's my entry. I'm actually hesitant to even post it here because it's not what I wanted to post but I haven't been able to catch that shot. This one just came about by accident. It pretty much fits the mood of what I've been dealing with here in the ATL lately, though.

Pretty good for a spur of the moment shot. I'm more of a fan of horizontal shots, especially as it probably would have captured more red stoplights or tail-lights. Hard to say as I wasn't there. Also, photobucket lowers the pixel count a lot and the images come out here a little fuzzy looking. There are others that let the image show up here nice and sharp.
So here's my entry. iso 100, 26mm, f/9, 2 seconds, and had to mess with exposure and gamma and figure out format conversions that would work ok since jpeg kills red. I wanted to try to bring out the reflected rays while not over exposing the crystal itself. I don't know how to do selected areas of a RAW image in Capture NX-D (the free stuff from Nikon). The powder also shows up on the glass surface. And as usual it looks a little better still in capture before the conversions. A work in progress I guess on this one. *also I might try re-sizing for 15" monitor. Side-scrolling is still required to see the whole thing, and it's a little bit, which hurts it a little especially after being cropped too. Basically a laser aimed at a chunk of crystal while blowing some talcum powder at it.  |

Nice pic! But the reason for my reply:
I don't know how to do selected areas of a RAW image in Capture NX-D (the free stuff from Nikon) You can't. And I hate it. Because NX-D seems to do a better job of post than Lightzone, EXCEPT that you can't mask. |

Also, photobucket lowers the pixel count a lot and the images come out here a little fuzzy looking. There are others that let the image show up here nice and sharp. So here's my entry. iso 100, 26mm, f/9, 2 seconds, and had to mess with exposure and gamma and figure out format conversions that would work ok since jpeg kills red. I wanted to try to bring out the reflected rays while not over exposing the crystal itself. I don't know how to do selected areas of a RAW image in Capture NX-D (the free stuff from Nikon). The powder also shows up on the glass surface. And as usual it looks a little better still in capture before the conversions. A work in progress I guess on this one. *also I might try re-sizing for 15" monitor. Side-scrolling is still required to see the whole thing, and it's a little bit, which hurts it a little especially after being cropped too. Basically a laser aimed at a chunk of crystal while blowing some talcum powder at it. http://s19.postimg.org/95wvnibwj/laser_red2_1.gif You've got an email waiting for you. I gave the raw of this a once over, I think you'll be pleased. *When I set this shot up, I also didn't realize how time-consuming it was going to quickly become. There were literally a limitless number of ways to angle things. The slightest change in laser angle or point of impact would completely change the results, on top of trying to work in getting the crystal from an angle I liked. Oh yeah, turning a flashlight on and off to see what I was doing, dumpling a bit of talcum powder on my hand, blowing that every shot, and then reviewing the shot to see if I even managed any reflected rays. Anyway, thanks a bunch. **also still trying to work with a broken 18-55 lens that only manually focuses and changes completely if the barrel flops one way or the other. I need to hurry up and replace that thing.  |
