September Voting Thread - Controlled Light

AB22 Easy Tiger · 1st October 2011, 01:49 PM

Vote for as many as you like and you have 7 days to vote.

Voting Guide (which you can ignore of course)
Photographs should be judged on how well they meet the current challenge topic.
Photography equipment used should not be a criterion for rating a photo.
Evaluate the photo in various aspects, set a consistent norm and give your vote accordingly
If you don't vote for a picture, please try to provide constructive criticism how the shot could be improved.

If any of you can't see one or more of the pictures drop me a PM listing what you can't see and I'll stick them on Flickr or something similar.

Good luck everyone.

UAE Exile, Amnorrageordie and not spavin got my vote. None of the others addressed the competition brief. I did warn you AB22.

Just asking out of interest if Not Spavin's addressed the competition brief how come mine didn't?

AB22's words in the brief:
"use of a reflector to bounce light onto a subject, ... all you have to do is control the light hitting the subject."

How come mine didn't meet that brief?

I'm not really complaining but just saying it is a bit unfair to say we didn't meet the brief when we did.

Apologies PB, I got your entry confused with not spavin's. In my defence I was a bit lashed at the time. MadMackem also met the criteria, maybe Neil's would but I can't see it on my PC. TomTom, Baitbox, Not Spavin and Clyde did not meet the brief though. Punters will just vote for their favourite picture, even if it doesn't meet the brief which kind of defeats the aim of having one.

Thanks for answering.

Bold : I think we may possibly be used to this now 21 months in.

Amnorrageordie gets my vote. I'm not sure if it was planned, or whether he just took it when at work, but I really like it. Reminds me of an old horror move for some reason.

Just wondering how you figure in didn't match the brief? Not only did I control where the light fell, I made it too...

took the words right out of my mouth mate, i controlled every single bit of light in my picture too, and as you know it was pitch fucking black in that building.

I think the very few entries reflect the nature of the challenge this month. As for voting, I'm looking for something interesting to do with the light, not just a standard block light/point light at something and click.

Ian Hesford's Bait Box - A bit "28 days later" good effort.

tom tom macute - Your weakest shot for some time, a bit lacklustre imo.

neiluk1985 - nice idea, a bit bland though, could they not throw some shapes !

Son of Rex - Weird, taken this month ?

peachbum - s'ok, just a bit standard.

Amnorrageordie - Nice idea, but not controlled very well imo.

clyde - awesome shot, really good light control/play - VOTE

UaeExile - was better suited to the BOKEH challenge earlier this year, really good bokeh shot.

MaDMaCKeM - Interesting idea, nice abstract shot, would've gotten a vote if there was more entries to warrant one.

not spavin - Nice shot but too much black in it for me.
