    For some reason the top edge bothers me, I think it would look better cropped out. headscratch.gif

    Kejago,
    welcome to the Class clap.gif
    Thanks for your entry!thumb.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

    That bad, huh? rolleyes1.gif (Save your worse shot) :D

    I like Chris's crop too. Thanks, Chris... I can see the difference it makes to the photo. thumb.gif

    I'll re-shoot for this one... I want to come up with something that is not bland, or cluttered, but still captures my original idea in some way.

    Stored in my memory bank. I'll never look at a newspaper stand again in the same way, I'll always wonder how to photograph it. headscratch.gif:D

    the top edge of the photo or the top edge of the paper in the front? i recognize that there is an odd angularity to the whole photo though. :)

    Here's my paper. I think I prefer #1 Better. These are not edited, except for 3 which was cropped a little. FYI: #1&2 are coffee filters.

    Very nice! thumb.gif I like #1 (better light than #2), and #3 (multidimensional meaning) clap.gif

    It's never too late :D just so long as your shots are "fresh" you can participate in any lesson, past or present.

    Let's see your entry!

    What strirfry said... It's never too late as long as the image is fresh (i.e. shot with the assignment in mind, not picked up from some archive).
    But I do recommend to start with the most current one, and only then begin playing catchup...

    Piano Roll
    I'm another late comer to this assignment - actually I shot this two works ago for this assignment but had to go out of town and finally converted it tonight from RAW. This is my first posts to the assignments and I hope to contribute throughout the year.

    This is a music roll from a ~1930's player piano.

    I am in love with the first shot. I know its a little late to start this assignment, but Im lacking places to go out and shoot since its so damn cold out right now, and I was thinking of shooting colored paper like you did but I guess you beat me to it.. Oh well, back to my bag of ideas. Ill try to have something posted later today.

    I rather like the green cast, but here's one I adjusted a little for you, Nikolai. Just a little. :D

    First Assignment entry in hopefully many to come. Worked on focusing on "The Dallas Morning News" as sort of a company spotlight per say.
