[SI] Bowser's shot
Another week, another business trip. This shot is from the pier at Santa
Monica, CA (USA). During the late afternoon, the local poor and homeless (not my opinion, but according to the local police) take over the pier to fish for some dinner, and this person was one of the many casting a line or two. Note the complete lack of purple fringing. ;-) |

I'll have to get around to entering again. I still have not processed all my B&W from my holiday a couple of weeks back and hardly taken any shots either. Of 'backlit subject' I was impressed by Steely Dan's shot and my favorite is definitely Tom Hudsons. However, I keep finding my eye drawn to Skips but I'm not sure why... ;-) BTW, is anyone else having problems with not all of the images on the shootin site on pbase display, including thumbnails.

Trying hard to ignore male bias I think it would have to be the spider, if only because I find the sparkles up the back of the woman's leg slightly spoil the effect for me. It's still very close between the 3 though. BTW, is anyone else having problems with not all of the images on the shootin site on pbase display, including thumbnails. Not seeing any problems with it from here. Tom |

Thumbnails are OK, but some of the images refuse to appear at full size, but will come up at the smaller sizes. Must be the name ;-) Peter |

The more I look at it, the more it annoys me, too. When I first printed it, I thought it looked pretty cool. And the model herself doesn't really like it, she thinks the sparkles make her rear and thigh look lumpy. And, to a certain extent, I'd have to agree... -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |

Well, I tried to take a photo that's typical of my submissions, and whether or not I succeeded, who knows? I've been changing from mostly landscapes/wildlife to people, so I'd say mine is my current typical shot (there's a person in it and it shows I've not had much practice :-) To me the shot conveys a mood that's totally unlike what there was at the time. One of the image tools I use is wrapping the first 16 pixels or so off the left-hand edge of the image and sticking them on the right (pre-rotation, so it's on the bottom of this one). Didn't notice until now that I'd been caught by it doing it to this one as well... |
