Shattered

The concept of shattering of a set of points plays an important role in Vapnik Chervonenkis theory, also knows as VC- theory. OMG!! Just break your pencils NOW!!!

You can find any information about the VC theory at Wikapedia. ~ ENJOY!

I hate it when that happens!

Great Illustration of the weekly theme-creative and colorful.

Is that your personality shining through? =o)

SERIOUSLY ~ look! ;) he he

I hope there is a class involved and you are not just doing this for FUN! If you are, then you are without a doubt, ready for the koo-koo house! :-)

At least if you are koo koo you take photos with great color and composition. If that's what it takes then perhaps we all need to be a little koo koo. Me I'm just koo koo for coco puffs.

don't have a freakin clue as to this theory...but you're definetly koo -koo, but oh so lovably koo -k00 .......... and i love this colorful, happy , little photo!

BUT, I did try to work the theory ~ STINKS BTW and I did do over 400 pics on this silly thing because I am working VERY VERY hard at my photography skills here with this assignment.

 

Tryiing to do things right (write) as they say.

 

I am hoping that it is working and that I am doing ok.

 

my husband burst my bubble and said. TOOOOOOO much shadow and I went REALLY KOOOOO KOOOO and so oh well I don't have studio light but then again I told him that people that are righting down stuff (ooops almost said a bad word) don't have studio lights either.

 

AND people in koo koo places don't get lamps. Do you know you can burn yourself with a 40 wat bulb?

 

OUCH!!!!

Too much shadow? Not for me Micki... :) You're nuts for sure... as are all trumpet players... lol. This is a very unique and interesting photograph. I really like it! :)

Well, you have to do what you have to do with only Donny and Marie records and Lego's! HA!

 

he he

 

So, Don't want to break my records and well since I can't DRIVE out somewhere I have to think with my ol' head as FRED said once a while back and DO STUFF that is in my old back yard.

 

Besides I am working on the little things and starting on technique. What better what to start then playing with colors ;)

Not bad for studio work. Looks like me and the pencils after attempting higher math (meaning ANY math). Well done.

me

"Shattering" was the first word in my mind, when I saw this one as a thumbnail. An interesting and forthcoming capture. I see something very much familiar at your technique: Get close, show the essentials and let the DoF do the rest. :-)

 

Hmmm... Many creative people are being told that they are totally "KOO-KOO"... I`m not a creative thinker, but you obviously are... (Thinking about the CHOP CHOP, etc...) But I`m not telling you to get into a warm and cozy room that has soft walls... ;-D

 

Anyhow, back to the old drawing/writing board... I like this image. It has lot`s of strength and it tells a story. I might be tempted to correct the color cast,but it allso gives warmth and personality for the image.

 

Alpo

NOPE, didn't touch it at all except for cropping it a bit.

 

whew

 

I am trying so hard to let my talent as a photographer do the work. AND YEP, the color could be tweeked probably but I did do about 450 pictures today to pull off about 30 decent ones that captured words that worked or enough shattered images. The rest all "sucked"! OOOPS that was a bad word... I guess all the writing got to be! Arghhhh

 

The funny thing was my SON really thought I was mad because I have this silly tremor and I never write because I ahve a hard time writing and my handwritings stinks. well that is my handwriting as is! HA

 

you all knew I was koo koo anyway :) ~ he he

Micki, I think this is great such a good image very colourful and sharp with great use of DOF. Very Well done Rich.

Wow! That pencil didn't just break. It seems to have exploded. Hope no skin splinters were involved. Excellent composition right on topic.

Too much shadow...Don't think so, even more shadow would really enhance the mood..

The colours work great here, this is very creative and original,

I love it..

 

Ger..

Micki, I didn't know that underneath all that creativity and humour lurked such a deep thinker!! This is wonderful, and educational too!!

hahahaha I love this - I like both versions! I think this is amazing! such a good job! And a very unique way of going about the theme. Look it up in the enyclopedia! You are a total nutbar! love it!

TRY it! Everything, and YES you can get the song Rolling Stones out of it too ;) he he

Shattered was a reality television program shown on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom in early 2004.

Shattered may also refer to:

Shattered (film), film directed by Wolfgang Petersen

"Shattered" (song), song by The Rolling Stones from their 1978 album, Some Girls

"Shattered" (Voyager episode), the eleventh episode broadcast of the seventh season of the TV series Star Trek: Voyager

"Shattered", a song by Pantera from their 1990 album Cowboys from Hell

"Shattered", a novel by Dean Koontz ~ A GOOOOOOOD BOOK!!!

I really like the colour composition in this Micki, and i love the shallow DOF.

 

Great job being literal, yet not so literal.

 

You say that you are working hard on the projects, and it most definately shows.

 

Great job!

Just trying to keep myself on my toes :)

Micki, I love photographs that tell stories. This is it. Love the composition and ordered disorder. Great study. Xiang Gao

Micki, I love this!

 

Great work, this is very original! I like how your mind works, koo koo or not! And who isn't just a little nuts anyway? Wouldn't life be boring otherwise?

 

I like the lighting, it seems like the level of light one gets from a lamp while working, which strikes me as the perfect mood for this.

 

I like the color... very bold.

 

I like the depth of field. You can see there was a lot going on here, but the focus is on the shattered pencil.

 

Best of all is the story!

OMG!!! I love Dean Koontz, but don't have Shattered...If I did, then I'd be kicking myself right now for not having used it this week! :) Micki, you crack me up! I have to say we're all a bit koo koo and that's a good thing! Oh, and I wouldn't mind a private padded room for a few days if I could take my camera and some good books...I could use the peace and quiet! LOL

 

As for the pic itself, I think your hard work is definitely paying off...the composition, the lighting (yes, I like it this way) and the DOF all work together wonderfully to not only demonstrate the theme, but provide the eye with a colorful journey throughout the frame. Nicely done.

My kids, neighbor and everyone else thinks I am koo koo for doing this photo shoot on my kitchen table. YEP!

I do mine in my laundry room, on my dining room table, or on the kids playroom table depending on the light! :) Gotta be resourceful when you don't have a studio!
