1st Place: 'Going, Going, Gone' by Fiona Hillier |
AIMS
Apparatus: Using light through a patio door, a black chair and loads of ‘Blu Tack’ I set to work with a temperamental tripod, my Canon 60D on manual focus and a macro lens. After many attempts and a great deal of frustration I eventually got three reasonable photos.
I found the plant, which I think is called ‘Goats Beard’, whilst out walking the dog but it was almost impossible to get it home without damaging the delicate seedpods. Eventually I picked the yellow flowers and left them in a vase for a few days only to discover one morning an amazing display of giant seed heads. Manipulation I changed the photos to Black and White, darkened the middle and right photo and cropped slightly to unify the images. |
2nd Place: 'One for the Girls' by Lyn Phillips
|
AIMS
Apparatus: Canon G1X MkII (compact)
Inspiration: Inspired by a previous shot I had taken of Daniel when he 'modelled' on a club night, I took advantage of an invitation from Rita to shoot Daniel at her home studio. I have Rita to thank for advising on the lighting and I cranked what I could out of my trusty compact camera. Manipulation: I processed this with a Nik filter to get a film noir effect - gritty with a frayed border. I thought it complemented the mood. |
