New photography contest: light painting 2

Sun, 19 May 2013 04:51:25 CDT

Light painting, also known as light drawing or light graffiti, is a photographic technique in which exposures are usually made at night or in a darkened room by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera. In many cases the light source itself does not have to appear in the image. The term light painting also encompasses images lit from outside the frame with hand-held light sources. The first known photographer to use this technique was Man Ray in his series "Space Writing" created in 1935. Photographer, Ellen Carey, discovered Man Ray's signature signed by penlight nearly 74 years after the pictures had been taken. For this theme, give us some dazzling works of art, created with light! More info about light painting on Wiki. If you have no idea where to start, here is a light painting guide.

There is a reason why some pictures get picked over and over again to be used in art work. Remember to take in to account the light, the background, the focus and subject for your photo. You should also vote for pictures you would really want to use in your artwork. As a reward the first place winner of this contest will be featured as the next week photo to use in the photoshop contest. Have fun and good luck!

New photography contest: orton technique

Sun, 19 May 2013 04:51:25 CDT

The original technique invented by Michael Orton was to overlay two or more images of an identical scene with very different exposures on slide film. One image is sharply focused and the others are very out of focus. Here you find 4 photos, your job in this contest is to make a photo entry like this. You'll need to post 4 photos in the SBS in this order: 1. Original photo 2. Lightened to produce "overexposed" image 3. Overexposed image blurred out of focus. 4. The final result of how your image looks after you put them together in Photoshop (or similar program) and blended both images together. Of course your final result also needs to be put up as a entry. The use of Photoshop (or similar program) to create step 2 and 3 is allowed as well, this means you can use a single photo for this. Have fun!
