Photo Assignment 14 July 2006 - Comfort
 

Here is your next photo assignment, should you choose to accept it.

Something that seems comfortable to you...



The Guidelines:

Pictures
**How you interpret the theme is entirely up to you.
**Pics should be taken during the assignment period not just yanked out of your portfolio.
**Pics should be 800*600 pixels My Windows XP photoresizer tutorial: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showpos...1&postcount=11
**We're looking for natural images. Some post processing is ok (colour correction, redeye reduction, contrast etc), but no gross manipulation, on occasion we will have an assignment that calls for differing kinds of manipulation. However, for the most part, think "natural."
**Give your photo a title, it just sounds cooler that way.
**Remember the basic rules of Tilted Photography and the TFP: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=46601



Comments
**Comments have to (and this part is critical) have substance. -----That is to say; "That foto r0xxor!!," just ain't gonna cut it.
Think more along the lines of:
-----That photo would be better if....
-----That subject's eyes would be better lit if you did....
**Comments should have a constructive edge to them, we're trying to improve here not just stroke each other's egos (but do be nice).
**Please comment on as many photos as you can, prefereably every one. No one likes to feel left out.
**After making your comment please make suggestions for next week's assignment. I will take all the suggestions and select one randomly and/or at the suggestion of the community.

**My overiding vision for this game/exersize/whetever, is to improve our skills as photographers. Regardless of your skill or ability we want everyone to contribute.**
**This is an experiement, the processes and guidelines are up for debate**

PLEASE DON"T FORGET TO ADD IN YOUR SUGGESTION FOR NEXT WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT...
Thanks

This was from our 4th of July party. I'd also submit it for "Recreation"--how many games can you see in this picture?

That little wooden chair doesn't look very comfortable to me...

a hula hoop , croquet, a swing :)
Cool hammock...

And a cooler. Drinking is a game, right?

Hah! Gotcha! That "cooler" is a set of bocce balls.

Cooler! How quaint! My home-brewing buddy brought his kegerator to that party with ten gallons of homemade beer!

My feet are dry... (wife shot this one).

a nicely restored Porsche 550 Spyder.... if the owner allowed me to sit in that, he wouldn't have beenable to pry me back out :D i walked right past a new Carrera GT to admire this

Dog Tired
 

She seems pretty comfortable, don't you think? I only did a touch of PP on the image, rebalanced it and added vignetting to give it an old black and white feel. Any criticism is more than welcome!

My grandfather used to sit in this chair and read the paper every morning. He used to sit in it and tell stories, too. I'll admit that his old tales of WW2 in the Pacific used to captivate me and gave my imagination all the fuel it would ever hope to get. When he passed away, there was some discussion over what do to with the chair. Being the opinionated and insistent little fart I was (am?), my insistence on leaving it in it's spot was eventually law. Years later when it was time to remove things from their place again, I requested, in a hopefully less belligerent tone, that I might have the chair. Considering my previous crusade, everyone seemed fine with it.

It now sits beside my bed as a place of comfort for me. It's where I tell my stories from. In that chair I discovered everything from Faust to An Unsocial Socialist, and it's a part of me and my own story.
