The Photography assignment #1 - Twins

[drakkie]

The topic for this first edition will be:

Twins

The concept goes like this:

You think about this subject and give it your own personal creative twist. You take one or two pictures and post them here.

Go out and take the shots then ! Please don't ones from your "archive" that you took previously.


After two weeks I will post a new assignment and a "showcase". The showcase is basically like the photography competitions, but without the voting.

I will personally pick someone from the entries in the previous week, to pick a subject for the next week.


Try and post as much useful comments from which the photographer can learn ! Keep it nice !

The deadline for this assignment is July 10th 2007.


Best of luck and happy shooting !

The idea was to go out and take pictures for this. Not use archived ones. I'll add that to the first post...

I agree. There aren't nearly enough rules here, we need to restrict everyone as much as possible.

Then have long discussions about it.

[Cotterik]

does it have to be automotive? and can there be editing?

[digitalcraft]

Everything I think of when I think 'twins' would be against the decency rules of the community.

just take a shot of an Harley-Davidson then..

[70cuda88]

i think we should allow any photo, and editing.... since it aint no competition, why not?

[drakkie]

- Not neccesarily, but if you prefer i won't stop you.. Surprise us !

- Sure ! As long as it ain't over the top. Over the top I mean with editing stuff in etcetera. If it was up to me HDR would be no problem too, but whats you opinion about that ? RAW and mild corrections would be allowed too I guess.

[Piacki_117]

RAW and mild corrections would be allowed too I guess.

And nothing more. That would be, in my opinion, the best thing.

[70cuda88]

is that your own shot? or do you just not know where you were and what you were doing?

[Rockefella]

I can see the Nurburgring in the background so that's probably it.

[Rijoh]

Yeah it's my own, as it was supposed to be :) There's only one place in Germany where you see 6 white Z4 M's together!

I think you are entitled to one entry only...

Entry to what?

[henk4]

Entry to what?

this competition?

[Wouter Melissen]

this competition?

I don't think they are entries; my skills are not developed enough yet to be judged by the master himself.

[drakkie]

I took these this weekend with my trusty Fuji. Especially the one of the powerplant I like as it is nearly symmetrical at some points.

Tomorrow I'll create the gallery.

[Cotterik]

where you live is the typical place that Valve based the theme of Half Life 2 on. Post-50's eastern europe. Makes great industrial photos :)

I live there too, and I do feel that those pictures are unnecessary dark. (unless he shoots after sunset)

[Cotterik]

yeah a little dark, but the setting around the area you live gives great photo opportunities by the looks of it.

if you like industrial photography, yes...

[drakkie]

Definately. I feel I have explored this area enough by now, might head towards your town now Pieter (think ICI and such). The dark-ish gray-ish feeling gives a nice feeling IMHO. Just my style I guess.

[faksta]

Can I still enter? Or time's gone? Nevertheless, here am I. If I was late, just delete it. My first humble entry :)

Guess what?
Today, Moscow, Golden Ring '07 finish.

[Waugh-terfall]

Damn, just missed the deadline...

[henk4]

Damn, just missed the deadline...

does not matter, from the six picture posted by a certain owner of the site, none made it to the gallery, although they came on time:D

[Waugh-terfall]

Yeah... What's up with that?

[Wouter Melissen]

Only god knows.

[Waugh-terfall]

ha, lets ask him. Drakkie, how come half the photos never made it into the gallery?
