Excellent stop motion, but it might have had a bit more flair if the pins had some more action on them. (e.g., flying side to side, crashing into the top, etc...) Also, nice reflection of the pins in the lane.
I've been mulling over this photograph. I really like it but the lighting or something is just off. I might have prefered if the right edge and the top were cropped out of the image. Then I might add just a bit of contrast to make the background black and to bring out the ball a bit more.
A strike this is not, but its a great shot and its not Water Droplets! Did you use extra flash or did they let you go down the adjacent alley? If it was and Extra flash, try mofing it farther to your left to get rid of the shadow of the side. you did a good job of minimizing it though.
A little less of the bottom of the picture, and a little less at the top. On my monitor, the pins "moving" are sharper than the pins standing still. Hope you won. :-)
good stopped motion. Did you have a cropped version of this? I saw one on the web that might have been yours. The close up was more dramatic. You have some good pictures!
I rated this one high for the stopped motion. However I deducted because it was not as "pretty" as I would like to see. I understand you were limited by the constraints of the aspect ratio of the scene. Maybe playing around with the shooting angle and tighter cropping would have avoided some of the "mechanicals" of the alley? Good job.
I think this is a nice choice of "stopped motion". I did one like this myself but didn't submit it. You can see it at //breifcase.yahoo.com/six_string_nc under the dpchallenge folder if you would like to take a look. The reflections are nice as well!
Nice capture. I think the reflection adds to it:) The only thing I think I would do different would be the cropping. That top left area and the right distracts from the main subject.
Wow, good action capture. Something bothers me though, maybe it's that the pins in motion are horizontal and nearly aligned to each other so the action is not as obvious as it would be if they were scatterd across the frame at angles. No criticism, just an observation. Bet it took a lot of shots to get this. :)
