My January, 2015 31-day photo challenge is part of an informal group effort, where many of the participants will be using the same list of subjects for their daily photos. We all see the same things differently and our various photos should provide an opportunity for us to appreciate different aspects of everyday items. I'm looking forward to an eye-opening and parameter-stretching month of photos from a talented group of photographers!

Day 3 - Zoom Blur
I'm sure my husband would love to have a TV this zoomed size in the family room! I tried about 20 shots, over various TV channels, until I actually managed to zoom a shot of a static image that was part of a commercial. It took about 3 tries during that commercial to get the zoom even, and the car in fairly decent focus. After I finished, I realized I could probably have paused the picture. But that would have been too easy... Anyway, it's a hand-held zoom with my 24-105 lens for 1.6 seconds.

Ha, there is no fun in easy is there ;) I love how this one matches the colours in the previous days, I feel a concept evolving.
ReplyDeleteThat small red car looks both tiny & dominant by placing it deadcenter and being bright red.
I saw that too, Marga, but I don't think that concept is going to evolve, unless I get lucky..... that puts on a lot of additional pressure, so I think I'll just continue random and see where it leads. :)
DeleteGood shot and idea, you must have long adverts,
ReplyDeleteVery nice! You scored well there having a long commercial with a static image! The colours work really well together :)
ReplyDeleteNice and geometric, gives a good sense of scale and depth having the 2 extremes evident
ReplyDeleteNice shot! I really like the colouring on this one; the light yellows and blues contrasted by the bright red of the car. Very well done, especially if the car was moving on the screen :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you have frames within frames all leading to the car. The car has great focus and I love the yellow and red. Nice technique!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. The bright red in the soft creamy palette is really appealing. And I love how the household furniture is faintly visible. Great impact.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Carol. I keep thinking that if someone were to look at this in the future they would say the artist was making a statement about how advertisements invade the family home and entice people to desire that beautiful red car. Sometimes I see documentaries of what different artists meant when they painted this or that and I always think, or they felt like painting and yeah, there was an apple and a pair in their cupboard. Okay, enough with the rambling. I like the image and how the glow from the tv fills the room yet still leaves a background to see. Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteA stylish abstract style shot with the geometric shapes and that awesome red car in the centre. well done!
ReplyDeletevery subtle surround . well done.
ReplyDeleteNice high key shot... and look at those perfectly straight lines. You must be a pro :)
