Photo Submission #1 - Spiffeh Cupcake

Title: Loeb Boathouse, Central Park NYC

User Image

Fullsize Image: Click here
Original: Click here

Note: If you happen to find this picture on dA (specifically under the username asutjipto) it is mine. You can always trust that these pictures are mind b/c I always put a watermark on them. Just in case.

This photography captures a moment in time -- freezes it, and allows you to relive it. Just like Wordsworth, Keats and other poets, photography captures the small moments in life that we often take for granted.

The subject of my photograph is the two people on the boat (the closest one to the frame). One of them, a male presumably, is admiring the beautiful new york skyline, while the other, the woman, is admiring him.

I took this picture because I am always taken by the beauty that is Central Park. The park is always changing, as is the weather and the skies. If I had taken this picture on another day, it would have resulted in a completely different picture. I'm glad I chose a good day. xp

I chose to convert this color photograph into black and white because I feel that black& white photographs have a more sentimental feeling to it. I have to admit that the photograph is a little bit grey, but I am quite pleased that the clouds remain white, as they should be.

I don't remember reading this in the rules...but is it required or just suggested that we have mire than one submission?

PS: Your third image in the "Overedited" list...the B&W image of the sunflowers...that's not a 'border' so to speak. It's a really strong vignette and that's something that you can actually achieve in the darkroom, usually by a toy camera.

Most of my photographs end up with a really noticeable vignette because I tend to use my Lomo LC-A a lot.

ENTRY 1 - Rope Ladder

Basically it was a really sunny day so I decided to go out into my garden and take some pictures. I climbed into my old treehouse to take some other pictures and as I was about to climb down I noticed how picturesque the ladder looked. It made me really nostalgic about all the time I'd spent in the treehouse so I decided to take the picture.
The only editing I did was a slight increase in contrast and a slight colour change of the steps (which were looking pretty green and didn't stand out as much...)
(note: you can find this pic on my DA [tigerlily963])

entry two: killing me softly
User Image

1) What's the main focus: The cigarettes in the ashtray
2) where you took the photo: outside of O'Charlie's (I carry my digital camera everywhere)
3) what message you want to convey via the picture: a lot people smoke still smoke, despite the multiple risks smoking has
4) why did you take the picture that way: It just looked ultra interesting, but it was weird being so close to the left over debris
5) editing: this one is cropped but I didn't really do any editing other than enhancing the color a bit. It also have a partial blur so it'll seem like the focus is on one main cigarette

Entry One - Heaven's Liquid Gold

User Image

For this photo I'd like for the main focus to be the deep color of gold in the sky and the dark clouds along the bottom. I took this when I was taking an evening walk in a small desert nearby my apartments and near the street. The message I'd like to convey is that the sunset can be much more beautiful than people think it can and that red is not the only incredible color a sunset has to offer. Finally I did not edit this photo at all. I just took the picture and uploaded it to my computer and this website as is.

Hope I did this entry thing correctly?

ONE good thing about music...

I have a quick question
- I'm not sure wither this was stated in the rules or not, I shall double check-

But what are the limits? As far as nudity would go. I work with nude models on occasion, and capturing the human body in its most natural form is a joy of mine..

This is called "A Very Queer Game of Billiards". It was taken by me in my home, as I am lucky enough to have a pool table in our games room. As you can probably already tell, the focus is on the cue ball.

As a child, I would watch my dad play pool, thinking the cue ball was very mean for chasing and hitting all of the other balls. In this picture, I belive I have captured what I thought then was the personality of the cue ball.
