ODT: 2/19/2012: Your own hand.
In Round 14 of Get Pushed I was paired with the talented D_Snapper.
His challenge to me was:
"...you do not have a lot of portraits in your stream. However as i found you had been challenged to do so before, I will make it a little different. Shoot a picture where a body part plays an important role in an activity. So no full body or face, but only a hand, foot, ear, mouth etc
This will likely force you to interact with the subject but if you can set it up as a self "portrait" that is OK as well."
So I chose hands to be involved in the activity of playing a harp.
Thanks for the challenge, Bart. I hope you like it. (It took me a lot longer than I thought to get this right. The shadows from the fingers were tricky.)

Taken for my Get pushed challenge. This is a group where photographers get paired up, they challenge each other to take photos of things they wouldn't normally. I was paired with the talented Harry for round 14 (HarryJphotos) (you really should check out his stream) and his challenge to me was:
"I have looked through your wonderful stream and I think I've been able to come up with a challenge for you
A collage of people oriented street scenes showing motion captured in the camera. (Very little pshop should be used.)"
I really enjoyed this push (thank you Harry), I have tried to capture some action and all shots were taken in the b&w setting, so the only PS was pulling together the collage :-). I had intended to go out earlier in the week (on Monday last week), but I ended up running around getting things ready before I go into hospital to have my ankle sorted on Thursday. I then in my wisdom decided to try some evening shots later in the week, but the weather had other ideas, when it rained heavily. So finally when I did get out at the weekend, I could not believe how quiet the town was!
Thank you for the PUSH Harry, hopefully I have met it, this is definitely something I will do again, it was fun :-)

Subtitle #1 "Ya can't live with 'em and ya can't live without 'em"
Subtitle #2 "I'm surprised I haven't killed him by now."
This Get Pushed Round 14 challenge was offered by Mike (mswickedmonton) (a photographer with a great eye) who wrote "my primary challenge to you is to illustrate in a photograph, as obvious as possible... Yin and Yang."
"Two distinct elements in one photo that are (or close to) polar opposites or seemingly contrary forces that are somehow interconnected and interdependent in one world, one photo. Some may also refer to it as Order and Chaos."
"It makes no matter if the items are manmade, of nature, human, random stuff as you see it or, staged with props, or any combination thereof just so long as the opposite nature of the two primary elements is relatively obvious to most viewers and little or no post-processing is used (Minor sharpening, contrast, cropping, etc, okay, adding or deleting elements/effects in Photoshop, not okay, 'k)."
Wikipedia states that Yin and Yang, "polar opposites or seemingly contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other in turn."
This sounds like the perfect description of the male-female relationship. Becca and her beau Tim totally understood when I described the nature of this photoshoot to them and volunteered to help me pull it off.
Mike, I hope that this capture of Yin & Yang meets your requirements.
p.s. Subtitle #2 was spoken by a young wife as she lovingly described her husband of five years on their anniversary.

Get Pushed - Round 14
For this weeks pushed, I was paired with the very talented Photogrl1324. Check out her awesome stream for some really great animal and acupuncture shots!
Her push to me was: "From what I can tell you enjoy using photoshop and creating unique images. So, for your push, I challenge you to create an image that illustrates your favorite movie or book." Well anyone who knows me knows that my favorite movie of all time is JAWS, so I just had to do something JAWS related.
Unfortunately, I live in the suburbs of Chicago, so I really couldn't do anything ocean related - so I did the next best thing - I used a couple toys and created a scene! I thought it was rather dull, so I decided to push myself a bit further and made it look like a comic book. Quite a lot of work went into this, but I am pretty pleased with the result (except that comma after the "Y" is bothering me - the spacing isn't right, but it is spaced properly - oh well...)
And yes, I had to open my Matchbox Star Cars JAWS set to get the police boat out, but only after I found another unopened one on e-bay!
Better view it on black or else JAWS will eat you!
