Kind of insomniac tonight so for once I'll post first and not last
As a programmer it couldn't speak more to me...



Not exactly what I wanted but it was very hard to get everything right (alone).

Are you serious? This picture is great! It easily conveys a message. I could have probably gotten to "bugs" within a few guesses. Still, the feeling is definitely there (probably helps that I program as well).

Pictures like this always present two things to me, simultaneously:
1) I need to practice more and get things down like this (and beef up my creativity).
2) I need to give up!

I'll just continue to opt for #1

Thanks a lot !

I think WA are a very good way to practice technique and boost creativity. At least that's why I participate.
One picture per week as good as it can with the spare time I have. It makes me improve. With a little technique the most difficult is mostly finding the idea with sometimes unispiring themes (I've found that the energy I'm able to put in is proportional to the interest I got in the matter), the second being finding the time to achieve the result.

Anyway yuh opt for #1 and keep practicing my fellow programmer / photographer !

Cheers,

Julien

Nice pic, and one which I can certainly emphasize with. But why not just call it "Debugging"?

One caveat: The man seems as if he is just standing still, not as if he is in the middle of a blow.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Thanks Yakim ! I choose the title because I don't really dislike debugging but hate those bugs that are very hard to find or independant from you (third parties...) plus I found that it was kind of "rythmic" to say (well...).
I see your point but I tried both and found that (as often for me) the movement implied but a slow shutter speed is very hard to get right, removes more than it adds and work less (at least for me). I wanted the big hammer to be perfectly clear as The threat to the machine...

Genius...your image is the FIRST thing that popped into my head to shoot. But you've done it. I see a lot of actual "bugs" I hope your image gets the recognition it deserves!

Being a Flash guy myself (happily getting farther and farther away from that application for some real work) this is the first "bug" that came to mind!

Thank you Patrick. I really appreciate...

The last project I was working on was a Flash project and I can see Actionscript (2!) lines in my nigthmares...

Happy shooting & coding !

Great take Julien, it sums up how I feel when bugs get into the system! I like the treatment as well, good DOF and lighting.

If I have a bug problem, I usually call in my son - he's in the pest control industry

Kidding aside Julien, I do like this and also appreciate the difficulties of self portrait photography in these situations.

Thanks !

It was quite hard to get. Something like 45 shots...
Wide angle alone with self timer in the almost dark. Needs a lot of trials and errors to frame / focus correctly. Not to mention the DOF I wanted (hammer in focus + lines of code on the screen) is impossible to get in one shot (I used 3 different pictures here).

Cheers,

Julien
