p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · FM Canon Contest: Drawing gears


I happen to believe that a certain graphic skill, not to say talent, help us elevate ourselves from mere operators of camera gears (technicians) to true photographers (artists). A keen graphic eye helps with photograph ideas and concepts, as well as execution, postprocessing and image presentation.

Let us see what is that we can do with that "photographer's eye" of ours when we can not use (or hide behind) gear as picture making tools, as we turn gear into the subject of our free-hand image making.

This contest is about you making and submitting a drawing (or drawings) of your Canon lens (es) and/or Canon dSLR camera(s). I shall reiterate that: the drawing must be made by yourself. Any Canon EF lens and/or EOS camera will do, the choice is yours to make.
The drawing judged to be most creative and artistic will win the contest.

You can make the drawing entirely by free hand, or you can draw using some sort of computer graphics software, that is up to you. You may do it in colour or B&W.

The "drawings" containing photographs or any pre-existing pictures of your gears will not be considered as valid contest entries.

Remember, everyone with some sort of a camera or a cell phone can snap a picture. Even some monkeys have done it. However, very few people can draw.

I've said it before, Peter, and I'll say it again..... You have far too much time on your hands.

It's not that, Harvey, it just that sometimes I hear those voices
Now, please stop being funny, and start getting good: show us how you'd draw your camera or a lens.

It is obvious one can see from your drawing you are a man with many talents!

Peter . . . Due to the season and in the in the spirit of Christmas might you not let us Nikonians play on the playground?

Aye, there's the rub Peter. However, I'm hell on wheels with play-doh and once successfully worked in papier-mâché…

Rather than go with something I have, I've opted for the thing I want!! And yes, my formidable illustration skills are available for private sittings and children's parties...

Grant, of course, as long as Fred doesn't object to that, I am all for it.

Peter, a drawing from these fingers, let me see if I can find my AutoCad disks, perhaps 2D and 3D if there's enough time

Jerry, there should be enough time, because I think there will be a flood of entries pouring in, given that art discussions are amongst the most favourite topics on this forum, such as what is art, and what art is not.

My skills as an artist are also available. Many interpretations of this one exist...choose the one you like!

And thanks to Peter for another great idea.

A great one, Keith......so far it's looking splendid.

(It has just crossed my mind that should Canon wish to purchase any artwork from this thread for the purpose of their marketing and such, they will need to talk to the author as well as Fred, because there is no such thing as a free lunch.)

Thanks Peter. Truthfully, now that I see the web conversion, I sure wish I had MA'd my daughter's pencil crayons...

Most of the artwork here so far is superior to my photography.
