foureyes 3 Posted June 23, 2004 I've had the concept-idea for this photo for a while, and after several unsuccessful attempts to light the interior of this shell in varios ways,....I finally came up with the right one: (....there's a 'glow-in-the-dark-stick' inside) a flashlight was used to slightly high-lite the top of the shell,....any suggestions are always welcome,....enjoy.

michal stachowski 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Nice concept - I love it :) if I could change somehting though i wouid try to make the grass behind the shell just alittlebit lighter -- maybe with a tinyiest flash of light (?) Well thats just me :) I love the idea !!! Link to comment
stephan petersen 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Interesting Idea and nicie composition! If there was something to be improved, i would lighten watrer and grass a little bit. Link to comment
petejr 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Very creative idea. I agree with some of the other critiquers that lightening the grass would help somewhat. Nontheless, I think you should be quite satisfied with your idea and its implementation. Link to comment
scott_lowrey 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Very nice, the hint of neon blue just adds a litle mysticism to this one. Link to comment
dennis jones 0 Posted June 23, 2004 Only suggestion is keep producing quality shots like you're doing...well done again. The grass is no major thing...there's just enough light on it imo... Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted June 23, 2004 I question why people are requesting for the grass to be lighter, I never even thought in that direction. I would have thought darker to bring out the shell more and make it seedier- the neon glow makes me think of a bar, the empty beach the wrong side of town. Can anyone do a comparison (I suck at taking others work and playing with it) so I can learn where others are coming from or just tell me. Thanks,Knicki Link to comment
petejr 0 Posted June 24, 2004 Knicki, to answer your question, IMO, having the nearby grass silhouetted with no other elements silhouetted (except the distant trees deviding the land and sky) adds too much emphasis to what I would consider a minor element in the total composition. The far shore shows detail as do the clouds; the grasses become unique in their darkness and because of that they become visually heavier. This is a subtle thing and IMO doesn't affect the picture that much one way or another. I hope that at least explains why I mentioned what I did. Pete Link to comment
kslonaker 0 Posted June 24, 2004 Very eery, but really cool. I like what you did with this. Another very original composition that is visually stimulating. Link to comment
jos www.inpix.biz 0 Posted June 24, 2004 Imaginative and well executed! You are determined as well as skilled. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted June 24, 2004 Thank you Pete. I appreciate you explaining it to me. Link to comment
vincetylor 0 Posted June 24, 2004 The idea works (surprisingly) in my opinion. I would just suggest making the lit shell a little more prominent in the image. It's sort of dwarfed somewhat by the rest of the scene. Just an idea, it still works just enough like posted. Link to comment
john_bourgon 0 Posted June 24, 2004 Vincent's version removes the fisheye effect. How long exposure did you use. Is this a bracketed shot combined? It's pretty amazing you have such a blue glow with a bright horizon. Link to comment
mondiani 0 Posted June 24, 2004 nice idea but realisation not as good as your previous work Link to comment
andreasalini 0 Posted June 24, 2004 Really original idea! this kind of composition is your favorite..... cheers Link to comment
robert_fisher 0 Posted June 25, 2004 foureyes, where did you buy the shell to place in your photos? Link to comment
WJT 566 Posted June 25, 2004 Why any normally cognitive human would rate this a 2 for Originality escapes me! The sunset alone merits more than average. Regarding the photograph, I think it is an imaginativley conceived and accomplished idea. My only criticism is that the camera should have been pointed up a bit to eliminate the fisheye's characteristic barrel distortion. Regards. Link to comment
