    This isn't the most exciting but I was using the white background for other things and figured I'd try something to post here.

    [EDIT] How about that for a little bigger? I thought it was a little small too, after I posted it... :)

    For the future references, we'll be able to appreciate your work better if you can submit slightly larger images... mwink.gif

    Paper in the raw
    i just discovered the "Assigments" section yesterday.

    here is my first 'entry' into this area:

    it may be a stretch on the theme of paper but i call it "Paper In The Raw"

    :D i'll keep trying different things. i've got a lot to learn and 'assignments' like these give me plenty of opportunities to try things that i normally wouldnt in my day-to-day photography.

    When I looked at the first one I honestly thought this is a PS trick. It took me scrolling down to the second one to realize the first one is plain real.
    Great entry! thumb.gif

    interesting take, like the OOF letters contrasting the letters in focus. maybe a striking piece of information on the piece in focus like
    "frontman Fr.."
    "Assasinated.."
    "this remains a"
    "victim .."

    or something, just an idea.. rolleyes1.gif

    yes, I agree. I think to improve the photo there are two things you could do
    1) use fill flash to help get it sharper
    2) focus on just one rack of 3 paper and use a some DOF tricks to put some of it out of focus with the other parts in very sharp focus.

    I don't think you ever said what this was, but I'd like to take a guess if I can... Is it the byproduct of different paper hole punches?

    I'm new to this thread, and I plan on submitting something tonight, unless it's too late.

    Pilznr, good evening. :D

    You are right. Indeed this is the byproduct of different paper holes punches.mwink.gif

    I got them in my job from a machines which does the holes in many pages at the same time. It punctures the paper, if I may say so.:D

    Good guess ! :Dthumb.gif

    I think Chris's crop suits it better. But if you really want to make something out of it, I suggest reshooting or checking this class, since "as is" it feels kinda bland... ne_nau.gif
