Challenge:Something New (Classic Editing) Collection:DPC Entries Camera:Minolta DiMAGE 7i Location: My bathroom (believe it or not), Indianapolis, IN Date: Aug 10, 2002 Aperture: 2.8 ISO: 200 Shutter: 1/45 Date Uploaded: Aug 10, 2002
Well, I was trying some experimentation on DOF and I guess it kind of backfired. That combined with the fact that "new potatoes" is not a common term to many people probably killed me this week. Oh well....live and learn. LOL.
ps -- the Potatoes were delicious. All of the ingredients (save the potatoes and olive oil) were from my garden. Yum.
Your dof choices (blurred in the front, in focus in the back) don't thrill me, but I like the image. To me, its a stretch to think of new potatoes as "new", per this challenge, but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. 6 sjgleah
Ha! When I saw the new topic on Sunday, new potatoes was actually the first thing that came to my mind. :) I like the idea of course and the colors. The composition is nice but I'm wondering if you tried others that showed more of the potatoes in frame from that same angle of view. I would also probably like to see more of the potatoes in focus. Looks good enough to eat, though! Score: 5 Courtenay
Please post the recipe!!! Also a very creative inclusion of the theme. I hope most people understand that small potatoes are called new potatoes. It's hard to tell how small they really are in this closeup
Since we've already been through my justificaton/reasons for giving you a 7 for this photo, I will just remind you that the whole world votes on these photos. Try to think about is this a somewhat localized idiom, or would the whole world call these little guys as the type called New? Everyone knows French Fries are not really from France, but they know what French Fries are. Would everyone know julien or au graten? Smiles! Swash (I am not a potato expert/freak/geek, really!)
Lush, could have come out of any cook book… It's a great shot, well lit, great composition and I don't doubt they tasted wonderful… Meets the challenge as far as I am concerned. (10)
Good job on making me hungry :) Rosemary is one of the herbs that I grow since it's hard to kill :) I like your twist on the 'new' topic... I think that was a nice creative twist. I tried a creative twist this week and it's killing me :)) I'm giving this photo a 7 this week. I little more depth of field in the foreground would be a nice improvement :) Good work.... - jmsetzler
