Chal. #85 "When I was your age..."

TylerW

I realize that I am likely in the lower half of the overall age demographic of most of the users of this forum. And because of that, I truly appreciate that I've had the opportunity to create images both in "the old way" as well as the new. This is my tribute to that.

Here are four images. pick your favorite and tell me why its bad so I can make it better.









Thanks!

I think #1 is the strongest. But I think I would like to see it shot on a diagonal.

I think I like the last one the best. The 1st one's ok, but the 2 cameras add more substance.

I agree

#1 was a stronger response, I think the cameras detract. Trying another angle might give it a little more impact.
I miss the days when the first question asked wasn't some "how'd you do tweek that in photoshop"; when you learned how to use the camera first rather than counting on photoshop to fix it up later. Now I'm on a rant, sorry......

The original concept began with just the film rool and the card reader, so I agree. I'll try for a stronger composition with the two on a reshoot, plus I have a few more ideas with this theme.

NIce thing about working in your own garage is that reshoots are easy. I think I made the statement a little bit bolder with this one, but what does everyone else think?

nr #1 immediately was my favourite and the reshoot is a great improvement !
I think the idea is a winner-one and deserves some more playing with light. Good luck!

Good stuff, I like how the film twists into the reader. The only thing that threw me a bit is the reader being cut off a bit.

Great idea for theme

LittleLisa

Love it! Great concept! Photo looks great! I do agree to maybe have a little more of the card reader in the shot.

One other suggestion... I'm not sure how good you are with PS. Me - total novice. But when I first looked at your picture I got the feel like the film was moving into the reader. Maybe you could add an effect to make it look like the film is in motion. I have no idea how you would execute that or if it might look overdone, but just a thought.

Fantastic. Love the reshoot.
