The Canon EOS Photo5 competition is over for 2009. There were 5 briefs and this is one of my test shots. I spent countless hours designing shots, thinking up ideas and taking advice, so I thought it was a shame not to put these up on the internet for others to view. This is one of the ideas I did not use.
This is an example of my Practically Black (Low light) tests. I tried to use ISO 1600 and underexpose.
For more information on the event, take a look at www1.canon.com.au/worldofeos/photo5/.
There is also a blog (here is a link to the voting thread) community.canon.com.au/blogs/eos/archive/2009/11/09/canon...
The shots were all taken with a Canon 30D.
I have used the Canon logo on the watermark so I hope Canon don't mind and see this as advertising for next years event in 2010 :)
The 2009 5 briefs were:
Splat (Capturing Action)
"This is a messy brief. The task is to capture liquid in motion. The supplied powdered paint is child safe and you can consider it a starter splat. If you run out feel free to adlib with other liquids like milk, mud or paint but NOT water. USE ONLY OPAQUE LIQUIDS!, Your image needs to capture liquid in action and not the aftermath. If it’s still dripping, flying through the air or splashing, it qualifies."
Close up (100s and 1000s)
"This small candy brief is all about getting your lens close to the object. You must feature these tiny hundreds & thousands but you don’t need to use them all, and if you need more you are free to source your own."
Bokeh (Experimental)
"Photography was born from those who loved to experiment. This is a lesser known experiment that has been around since photography first began.You must choose and attach only one of the supplied Bokeh hoods to the front of your lens when you create your image. This brief will require a little more prep work but the effect is well worth the patience."
Portraiture (Glasses)
"This is a portraiture brief where you must feature the supplied black spectacles. Other than that its open to your interpretation. Consider your lighting choices and your choice of subject. The winning image will present the viewer with just as many questions as answers. A portrait is all about capturing a personality and you don't necessarily need to see the whole person (or all of the glasses) to achieve that."
Practically Black (Low light)
"Practically black is an OPEN BRIEF which means that even those who have missed out on this years EOS Photo5 box can still enter. This is the first year a brief like this has existed. The ‘Practically Black’ brief is about shooting in dark situations while still maintaining details in the image. We expect to receive very moody imagery for this brief."

I've been dairy free for over 5 years, but really enjoyed shopping here. It's not just cheese, it's all kinds of French merchandise. They have all kinds of neat napkins, glasses, dishes, wrapping paper and just cool stuff. It used to be a Power Plant in Longmont. There is also a restaurant and bakery. We had a couple Macarons. You can eat outside, and there was a small band performing.
This is the back entrance.

More often than not, I enjoy ending a meal with cheese than a saccharine finish.
For this evening, one of the three cheeses I selected was a standard favourite, comté. Made from raw cows milk and aged in house (by Cheese Boutique) for 3 years (which ML shuns, but it's at least aged longer than the one available at Whole Foods), it is a nutty and sweet semi-firm cheese, and a staple finish (if available) to many a late evening of dining.
To the above, I also tried the Serrat del Triado because it was noted to be "very unique and exclusive to c5." I suppose I wouldn't easily find it elsewhere. A raw cows milk cheese from northern Spain in Navarre, again aged in house for 18 months, I'll confess the firm cheese didn't leave too much of an impression, tasting rather mild/fruity more than sharp.
Last choice on my plate was the Rocchetta. I chose this pasteurized mixed (goat, sheep and cows) milk cheese because it was a creamy cheese, and I *heart* triple creams/cream cheeses. This did taste as advertised: it was very fresh/refreshing and not aggressive.
My cheese selection was accompanied by thin bread sticks, raisin crostini, sweet dried figs with a nice chew, strawberry-floral jam, cherry preserves, and sesame snaps.

See how the shading comes up from the bottom on each letter? The blue I used was way too dark to show it, so I stopped midway. I need to order more needles, so I was using a 3RL, which is really too thin a line for this. The pigskin was a pain as usual, but overall I'm not too unhappy with the lettering lines, which is what I was most worried about.
