Half a Chance

Half a Chance
SSC and Sight and Sound

This week's SSC challenge from Sami: ~Use the edge of a photo to cut the main subject in half~

This challenge was more difficult than it sounded. It was fun to play around with though and I learned a new technique that I'd never consciously tried before. I will probably use it in the future. I like it. This is an antique bowl and pitcher set from my grandparents (another pic in note.)

Carly Simon from her "Another Passenger" album (1976)

Very good composition =) I am a fan of ambient light myself, but I suggest trying to adjust the white balance a little.

Also the picture on note is great!

Ich finde auch, das war eine sehr schwierige Challenge diese Woche, Karen.
... noch nie habe ich so viele verschiedene Dinge ausprobiert - die dann aber irgendwie alle nicht funktionierten. Die Aufgabe klingt so einfach - die Realisierung war teuflisch.
HIER mag ich den Effekt der Offenblende, die geringe Tiefenschärfe.
Die Konzentration auf das Muster des Kruges - und das kleine Bokeh im Hintergrund.

Danke, Heidi. I was freaking out a little bit too with this challenge. It was a good challenge for sure and I think I know what is needed now by seeing everyone's entries.

Perfect use of shallow depth-of-field. Works beautifully. A well chosen musical link. Don't remember hearing this one from Carly before. A goodie! Thank you very much for posting to 'Sight and Sound', Karen.

Thanks, Roger. That's one of the wonderful things about Carly. She has hidden gems on each of her albums. So glad you enjoyed it. :)
