Challenge:Light Source (Classic Editing) Camera:Canon PowerShot G1 Location: Cape Town , South Africa Date: Oct 19, 2002 Aperture: 4.0 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/50 Date Uploaded: Oct 20, 2002
First impression : Nice colors, different from the other java lamp pictures (close up), well isolated with black background, Humour : 'distant planet', creativuty : medium, camera work: medium-good, composition:good
Second approach : Compoistion : The center of the picture seems to me to be the distant planets. In that sense, they a a little 'lost' in the picture becasue of the reflexions on upper left and right corners (double reflection upper right corner ?). The yellow and pink colors are very nice but somehow, I think, conflict with the 'planets'
Technical : By (little) experience I now that java lamp pictures are not so easy .. it looks sharp from distance human eyes but blurry from the pictures. I think you did a good job with the 'dust' in the liquid. What is the double reflection in the upper left corner ?
Opinion : Interesting picture, a good 'close up' shot of the Java lamp. I like the evocation of distant planet and the ne you chaught are of good size for your topic. I think that the interest is too 'spread' between the 'distant planet concept', and a 'regular java lamp' shot. Suggestion (but that's just me) : maybe try cropping to get a 'pure' 'distant planet landscape'.
There are some things I can just never get tired of, like lava lamps! I am obsessed with them, and have been ever since the 60's and I think this shot is superb! The colour and clarity are magnificient, and I wish you well since you're obviously very talented! Good Luck!
Interesting shot. I like the round bubbles in the lamp. The colors are really nice, and The angle and framing/cropping are also nice. I like how the yellow kind of fades into the pink at the bottom. Something funky is happening on the right side near the top right corner, kind of like a double figure look, however, It is not present in the rest of the shot, so I am likely to think that it is something with a reflection in the lamp its self. Overall nice shot. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
