    I hate clowns. Haaaaaate clowns. In human form, in cake form, whatever. The worst is probably plastic doll from. * shudder *

    But I really like the take on the song! Is there any way to bring some variations into the yellow frosting? I'm on the bad monitor and it just looks like a sea of yellow; I have to look hard to see details in all but the very bottom of the frosting, they're lost on the top of the cupcakes for me.

    Saw what? Your confusing me Chris..eek7.gifD You mean you saw the candles and clowns and then set up this shot? or you saw this photo in his stuff and are just sharing it and are thinking about a similar shot?

    As far as the idea goes, I really like it and think it has a ton of potential with all of that contrasting color and witty play on the title and theme.. Although, I think it could be shot better with a slight deeper DOF, not too much deeper but a little bit more, and I would shoot it on all white with a white background.. I love the blue cup, but I don't favor the brown cups, so if you do set up this shot, I would go with different bright colors of cups or better yet all red cups and the front one blue or visa versa, etc, etc,... Man that was a mouthful, but you get what I am saying..:D:Drolleyes1.gif

    I see you are already going into lack of camera withdrawals Kat. I recognize the symptoms.

    I took a bunch of pictures at the grandson party. I did not set up a shot or anything like that but afterward when going through the shots, I thought of the song title.

    My wife spent hours baking and making them so I took a few shots for her. I signed her up for a cake decorating class. She had been certified by Wilton years ago. But she wanted to do it over since she has not use her skills in a while. Maybe she will do cakes and I can shoot the party or weddings.

    Wella, no chance for reshoots after the kids had their way with them. The blue cup was a bonus

    Kinkajou I will put a warning next time for clowns like I promised divamum
    I would do for snakes

    Thanks ALL for the feedback

    ohh.. ok, well I see now.. I thought you meant you went through a box of old stuff from way back..sorry..

    yes, it is probably the withdraws.. however, I got her working on manual, which is going to be tough without any kind of focus confirmation, but at least I can shoot something.. I guess I had better hurry up and get her done before something else goes south...


    P.S> Besides with all of this time on my hands, I have more time to bug you... :)

    You make me laugh Chris; and you gave my husband a good laugh too, he knows I can't stand Hendrix. He used to play it all the time when we met, especially when he wanted revenge lol mwink.gifD

    I had thought of Misty Mountain Hop :D... I have some Floyd in mind right now too. However, My original idea is way out of character for me and on the gruesome side but it sure packs a punch and if it would stop freggin raining then my prop set up just might dry out for a shoot.

    Thanks for the chuckle.rolleyes1.gif

    SOooo many to choose from, we will see what we have after I get back from Canada. The wedding is on the Central coast of CA so there are a lot of possibilities. Whole surf thing, docks, bays. waves. To many possibilities with so much time left
    Hey any word on the sick camera???

    Couple different crops on the headlights

    I am still liking the crop on #1..thumb.gif


    I have a feeling you're going to bring back some awesome stuff from the wedding trip....mwink.gif.... I know you are...Heck with all of those possibilities you spoke of, your biggest problem will more than likely be narrowing it down..rolleyes1.gif.. My problem right now is the sick camera.. no word yet, I am trying not to mess with it until I can shoot for the contest, I am hoping it will hold out in manual and once that is done, it is off to the repair shop...thumb.gif, if it does not hold out, well there is always the 2.0 megapixel classic canon A40 Powershot, this little camera has been a workhorse since way back..


    Have fun on your journey and can't wait to see the
    captures you bring back wings.gif

    The crop on #1 looks good. I really like it! thumb.gif

    Love all the details in #2, but they get lost in the shuffle because the headlight is screaming for attention.

    I also love how the metal glistens in each shot.
