dfresh Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #3 · #218: Dead Center! Wow, what an entry! I love seeing photos that make me stare at them wondering how they were done. Great job Robert! Edited on Sep 01, 2006 at 01:55 AM Aug 27, 2006 at 04:56 AM

Scott Campbell Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · #218: Dead Center! This is definately the best version of this shot that I've seen to date. You took it beyond the science of "high speed" photography into art through the composition, blur etc. "Happy Accident" or completely planned, this is an awesome shot. Great job.

bouchto Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #5 · #218: Dead Center! Robert, I certainly hope you didn’t have Jane holding what ever it is that was pulverized! Robert, once again a wonderful capture, that exhibits sharpness as well as the speed of motion coupled with vivid colors. Great Job! Tom Edited on Sep 01, 2006 at 01:55 AM Aug 27, 2006 at 12:53 PM

What a nice compliment, especially when I am thinking about how much I could have done to improve it. But that's the way that I usually feel. I am my own worst critic.

Tom Tom, It's an apple, and Jane wasn't actually holding it; it was setting on her head. She nixed any re-shoots Thanks for the kind words.

simonm Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #10 · #218: Dead Center! An absolutely wonderful shot and an outstanding effort from Mss Tell . It would be great to hear how such a unique image was composed! Cheers, Simon. Edited on Sep 01, 2006 at 01:55 AM Aug 27, 2006 at 10:40 PM

haymest Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #12 · #218: Dead Center! OK, I'll admit my stupidity and take a guess. The arrow was stationary and you put a firecracker in the apple and blew it apart, right? How did you this without attaching the arrow to the camera? Very nice if puzzling. Tom Edited on Sep 01, 2006 at 01:55 AM Aug 28, 2006 at 07:28 PM

Tom Yep, the arrow was stationary, but no firecrackers were involved. As I said in an earlier post, the setup was pretty simple. I'll try to get a picture of it posted if I can find time before leaving tomorrow for a seminar in Atlanta. Robert Edited on Sep 01, 2006 at 01:55 AM Aug 29, 2006 at 03:06 AM

Photon Online Buy and Sell: On p.1 #15 · #218: Dead Center! Very colorful, and I love the off center composition. Did you take a plastic wrapped apple and throw it at a clamped arrow? Edited on Sep 01, 2006 at 01:55 AM Aug 29, 2006 at 08:43 PM

Strad Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #16 · #218: Dead Center! Great! Simply Great! As usual a very unusual shot. It took me awhile to figure out what it was but once I did I realized what a fabulous take on the WA it was. Bravo. All the best, Endre Edited on Sep 01, 2006 at 01:55 AM Aug 29, 2006 at 09:18 PM

cennerfelt Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #18 · #218: Dead Center! Wonderful shot Robert. With the clues, I am curious how it actually works but hat does not matter as much as that shot is just awsome! Well Done! Christian Edited on Sep 01, 2006 at 01:55 AM Aug 30, 2006 at 02:26 AM

relms Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #19 · #218: Dead Center! I said that it was simple, so here it is. I found a piece of 1" Styrofoam at a construction site, and pinned some black paper to the front of it, then stuck the arrow through the Styrofoam from the back. After that I placed a piece of shrink wrap over the arrow and arranged it into a loose circular pattern around the arrow. The apple was cut into asymmetrical pieces and arranged to give the appearance of having exploded. I set the camera on a tripod and mounted a 500D to the front of the 85 f/1.2, and with everything set manually, I exposed the image for 1/4 second at f/14 in order to give depth to the shaft of the arrow. From there it was on to Photoshop for some exposure adjustments and radial blurring. First I selected the arrow, then inverted the selection so that everything except the arrow was selected before applying the radial blur. The blurred shrink wrap gives the appearance of a liquid splash resulting from the "explosion". Finally, I did a bit of cropping and flipped the image 180 degrees. That's it. Not much trickery involved, and very little manipulation if you discount the radial blur. Thanks, everyone, for your comments. Robert Edited on Sep 01, 2006 at 01:55 AM Aug 30, 2006 at 02:50 AM

zync Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #20 · #218: Dead Center! You have me wondering if I can do something similar in video.....hmmm....great idea and incredible execution! Edited on Sep 01, 2006 at 01:55 AM Aug 31, 2006 at 03:09 AM

relms Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #21 · #218: Dead Center! I would be interested in seeing what you come up with related to video. Edited on Sep 01, 2006 at 01:55 AM Aug 31, 2006 at 07:22 PM

Flibble Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #22 · #218: Dead Center! Ahahhahahhahaha ahaahhahahahhh. aha. So very well done. It fooled me perfectly. In itself, that's normally not difficult as Mrs. Flibble will testify, but in the context of your shot I was very much sold on your well executed apple-o-matic-explosion-o-tron. Splendid.
