A bottle, a bright knight and war dogs

[Matt. K]

Extreme boredom set in this afternoon so...out with the camera and just play around and explore the light and the colours.

Hi Matt,
your last shot (war dogs) certainly achieves one of photography's main aims to get the viewer to linger over the photo, I did this but only to try and figure out why you would want to chop the heads off. I still can't figure it out.

[stubbsy]

Matt. You need to get out more.

[Matt. K]

Phillip
I cut the heads off because I am saving them for another picture.

Peter
OK

In that case you should have cut them vertically and you would have got a tryptic.

that is one cookie chess set! you actually have the googley eyes on the knights!

what did you use for the lighting in thefirst image? or was it all available light?

[Matt. K]

PiroStitch
Define available light? Might I have used non-available light?

But to answer your question.....I used natural light that was available....(Or is that available light that was natural). AAhhh! This hurts my head!

[PiroStitch]

My head hurts at reading that...sorry to clarify, did you use strobes or daylight as such?

What if it was shot at night? or with photofloods?

So, what was that you said you were clarifying?

[PiroStitch]

yeah that's right...pick on the mexican all in good fun

I think light was used. At some point.

Ah.. Light is da same anyways natural or artificial. These may be stronger in black in white though..
