WheresMyCamera? · 25-06-2009 7:02pm #1

The Theme is 'Odd One Out' - strictly no software wizardry allowed! You can do whatever you like to produce your image, but once you take the shot, only basic adjustments allowed, curves, crop etc.

The Rules.

*Photos must be in by 2 weeks of given task - closing date 9th July, 9pm.
*No old photos. Only photos taken with this task in mind qualify - sorry. Therefore, dated 25th June onwards.
*Photos must be on the given task.
*ONE photo per post. Post as many as you like.
*C&C to be encouraged - but be nice about it.
*Stretch yourself - no limitation to what you can do to produce the image.
*Next task/subject to be chosen by person who has the most thanks after their post (must include a picture in the post ).

Can't believe you went to the effort of lifting a Cow over a barbed wire fence, just for a photo challenge :eek:

Fair play.

Here's my first stab at it.

Homeless man-- 'if only'

If it were still the subject of "contrasts", I'd say you'd have won it with that, as there isn't really an odd one out in the picture as such.

In saying that though, it's a fantastic photograph. I'm not really as knowledgeable about photography as I'm sure most people on here would be, but I think that's a very, very thought-provoking image.

What I really love most about it is how similar the two men look. If it were a film, I'd say it'd be as if the same guy is looking at two different futures or something.

Sorry for rambling off topic, I don't think that will win the challenge, considering the topic at hand. but I honestly do think that's an amazing photograph.

Thanks - but I just see now as well that the photo has to be taken spefically for the challenge and that is not the case here - I took it in Madrid last year.

So I am going to delete it and just put it over to the Random forum.

I'm working away from home for the next 3 weeks - and not sure what access to internet etc I will have ...so I am bunging a few photos in today - I hope that is ok.
All taken in the backgarden - Sunday 28th June.

Have I posted enough images yet?

Finding it quite a hard assignment to get an excellent shot for though.

I like the one wth the 4 glasses. For me it would work better without the breadbin in the background. But that's just me!

Yeah, I agree. I never thought to move it. Ah well, I'll leave it as is now!

KarmaGarda · 28-06-2009 9:22pm

1 more, why not! Sorry for the spammage

spurscormac · 28-06-2009 11:19pm

First attempt at this - hope you like it.
Have loads of ideas for this assignment, not sure which will work best though. I'm a complete amateur too, don't know aperture from shutter speed, so please be kind.

KarmaGarda · 28-06-2009 11:24pm

I like it. Very subtle, but it worked for me!

29-06-2009 2:58am

Thought I may aswell post something. Do no harm

My first entry.

I have another idea too but it will take an hour of a journey to get there and dammit I don't know if it is worth it!:pac:

Just interesting to note - that the out of focus flowers and the glasses in front of the bread-bin have got between them 5 votes- while my attempts between them have a eurovision type 'nul points'.

Obviously my photographic and creative talents are so short of what is required on this elite forum that there is little point in hanging around.

I will go somewhere where the standards are not so exacting(and the fellow members are a bit fairer).

Sorry you feel that way keps, I'm sure it's nothing personal.
This is not a thread to discuss the quality of members submissions, or to argue the "fairness" of the voting system. What may appeal to me, may be totally horrid to you, and visa versa.

If you wish to submit your shots, in the main forum, for C&C, I'm sure you'll get some helpful insight into peoples opinions. It can be very helpful.
