Last Shot Before It Comes Down. 29 Entry, Thoughts?

imax

Taking The Tree Down Shortly, and had to get one last shot of it on film. Figured this was a good opportunity to try this. What do you think?



Hands free option was done with the use of a tripod and self timer!

we may have an epidemic on our hands!


oh, and a suggestion for the photo. If the tree isn't down yet, it might be neat if the camera (in the photo) was angled such that you could actually see a bit of light coming through the viewfinder in the shot

Thanks for the suggestion Lynn, I need to practice with Adobe a bit more and then perhaps I might just get it right. Here are two other pics that I'm debating on.

I really like the first one, the idea of the camera is great. I was not very impressed by the one driving - I think there is too much going on in the picture. The one of the radio is great, but maybe a little too dark?

In the second shot I wanna say, "I can see from your wedding ring you are married. I bet your wife wants you to slow down!"

Or shoot it again with racing gloves on :>

I still really like the first one with the camera

I am not crazy about shots that are dated to a specific time such as Christmas.

And only a few camera shots turn me on, with people using them I mean.

I think you have the right idea, but I would execute it differently, and not christmas.

On the driving thing, you could go "fast" down a lonely road, or a curving/or hilly road and create some blur. I think, I know that you can do it in post if you can't do it while driving taking pictures, etc. I would get rid of all the distractions in the driving photo, though.

ginger, just my humble opinion.
