Photo Competition #10 - How was that photo taken? - Ends 7th March

[dmdigital]

How was that photo taken?


Rules..

You can submit a maximum of two pictures.
Each picture must make the rest of us think: How was it taken?
Minimal post processing is allowed.
Each picture must be taken since the start of the 2010.
See here for the general rules (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/camera-corner/82504-photo-comp-rules.html).


So get out there and be creative!

P.S. If you do something really special, take a picture of the setup so we can all see how it was done. But don't post this picture or how you took the shot until after the comp ends

[Cap]

This is a hard one!

[Chucaro]

Perhaps you have to elaborate a bit more :(

I dont think he needs to...you be creative with a photo that you have taken so much so that people go "oh cool how did you do that?".
bit like when I did the torch on a string

[Chucaro]

Ah! that type of how it was done......sorry I was concentrated on the technical aspects of photography like manual program or apreture, lens, flash settings, etc, etc
Cheers

[dullbird]

well I guess its each persons interpretation but the above post was mine:)

[dmdigital]

Perhaps you have to elaborate a bit more :(
It could be as simple as motion blur, long exposure, star trails, fish-eye, taken from a strange location or something completely out of the ordinary.

For example (not my entry to the competition):

Be creative, try something different, experiment. This is another reason I specified minimal post processing because it's very easy to end up with something like this (not my entry to the competition):

So think about it, reach for the camera and use your imagination and push the shutter release!

No just enough to buy Photoshop and a GSP. If I had that many GSP's in my yard I'd have gone round the twist long ago.

Rain forest fruit. Main Range NP last Sunday.
Post processing was a crop and the background.

I had all kinds of ideas for this them and now have no motivation for anything. This last week has been terrible for me so I suppose a very ordinary image about sums it up. Mightn't participate too much for a while, will see how things go.

[werdan]

Damn. Sorry I forgot to vote. I've been a bit busy recently and it just came and went so fast.

So did anyone want to have a guess how it was done before I explain it?

[dmdigital]

3 shot using 3 positions on the zoom lens and multi-exposure with your fancy flash.

[werdan]

Nope.

Well the flash bit was correct. :)

[dmdigital]

Did you cheat and use layer stacking to merge 3 images?

OK, you'd better en-"lighten" us?

[werdan]

You were close.

I set the shutter speed to 4sec exposure with a medium aperture, the flash to a 1Hz strobe at 1/16 power and then rolled diagonally backwards on a wheeled desk chair while holding the flash test button.

[dmdigital]

I was going to say strobe flash but thought it wouldn't have given enough time. You must be quick on that chair;)
