p.1 #1 · #07: Oscillate


Although it may appear so from the photo, I did not strum the guitar strings before taking this shot. What you see here is the effect of shallow DOF. Taken with Canon 10D, EF 24-70mm f2.8 L USM lens. Hand held @ f2.8 with a shutter speed of 1/40s and focal length of 70mm (800 ISO). JPEG created using Photoshop CS Camera RAW Plugin v2.




Your comments are welcome

And if you had stummed the strings, most likely the "point of inflection" for the oscillating strings would not all be at the exact same point anyway.

Very nice. I love the effect on the strings.


BTW, I don't believe we are graded on spelling, but you may want to correct the title: Oscillate

Thank you for pointing that out! It's funny because I went to dictionary.com to get the proper spelling. After all that, I transposed the s and the c. BTW, thank you for the positive feedback.

That’s where I use the copy paste function. Why go to the bother of looking it up, then make a typo, and misspell it?

Nice image.

(Warning: OT)
Stuart, You seem to have a randomized Avatar. As I switch between this topic and you post in Photo Critique I keep seeing different images.

Steven,

That is actually by design. I do web based programming as a hobby. I had this cool idea that I could randomize my avatar from about 46 of my favorite photos resized to 60x60. I am able to do this because we can set the avatar to a URL. Is this good or bad in your opinion?

I don't think it's bad at all. I was just surprised by it.

At first I though you had simply changed it within the last couple minutes (not uncommon for FMers to change their Avatar now and then). But when I kept seeing different ones, I kinda thought it was being randomized.

So you have some server-side scripting (CGI, ASP, J2EE) on your webserver that feeds a random GIF back to FM? Coolness.

Yep. That is correct. I was just typing a reply when I saw yours. I was serving it from my home server, but I decided to use my ISP's web server instead since they have a T3 ;-) Anyway I use perl scripting on the back-end to deliver a random image. If you are interested in this sort of thing I will gladly provide the source via personal e-mail.

This would be pretty easy to do in php also. Cool idea. Oh, and by the way this is a geat shot. Cool idea and excellent follow through.

You know, the more I look at this picture, the more I like it. Soon I may be asking where I can get a print.

Wow! I love where the OOF strings expand to the point that they cross each other!
