p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · #275 : Even in my dreams...


... Few in portrait... Clic clic clic. Let's zoom a bit... Clic clic. Move left... Clic clic. Mmm getting dark, 400 iso... Clic clic. Low angled; perfect... Clic clic clic. Wait, light is not so good. Maybe a hole in the clouds in 5 minutes. Clic clic. Is it THE shot... Grrrrr good framing but that tilted horizon... Damned viewfinder... I should go with a 5D...

"Oh sorry darling I didn't mean that. You fully satisfy me... I'm a man you know. Mid thirties crisis maybe..."

Hi Julien,

I like the B & W conversion and the idea certainly takes obsession over the top. Nice work and good luck this week.

I really like this shot. It really sums up how I feel when I get any new camera equipment! Great take on the WA.

My only query is how it might would look cropped down to just the bed? ie without the wall bit at the top of the shot? Maybe it would draw more attention to that very sexy body? (That's the camera body, I'm talking about...I think... )

Thanks a lot suse ! I've tried to reflect my obsession for THE shot and sometimes for the gear too (which I feel a bit stupid about ).

I was unsure when cropping. Here's a try with your suggestion :

Interesting too but I feel the wall in the first one balance the comp.
What do you think ?

Julien,

I like the wall included in the shot but I like the lightness of the cropped shot you included in the comments. I think if you can lighten up the fist shot it would draw the attention of the viewer to the camera better. Just may 2 cents worth. Great idea for this weeks WA. Good Luck.

Thanks everyone for stopping by !

Endre my friend I try to submit something for every WA but I sometimes fail (like for "Edges" and "Out of place"). So many things to do and so little time...

Cheers,

Julien

I love good gear, but not quite that much. Toning is super, and I like the bits of softness too. Good entry, Julien.

It's not only about gear obsession but also obsession to get the shot but I agree that's not obvious in the picture
