QJ.NET Shot of the Week

Posted Jun 09, 2006 at 08:17AM by Nick S. Listed in: Photographers, Flickr, Services Tags: flickr, Shot of the Week

In case you haven't heard, QJ Photography has a Flickr group! We're gaining members slowly, so why don't you join and tell all your friends? For now, get your shots into The group pool and you may be picked as the Shot of the Week. Lots of glory and prestige come along with this honor of course...

With relatively few shots in the pool thus far, I'm inclined not to pick runners-up shots (as they could always make it in following weeks), but I'm inclined to this week, as for me, it was so close. First, the runner-up shot.

Little Church, by Kruggg6:

The stark contrast was nice and makes for an interesting shot with lots of lines and angles. A slight crop (mainly on the right) would have done it for me, to make things completely symmetrical, but it's still a neat photo. In fact, read in the comments - one flickr user played in photoshop, and lightened the image, to find there was A LOT more detail hiding there. Love the hidden stuff!

Ok, the Shot of the Week! A 30 Second Blink, by Kashmir Szekeres:

You've seen this shot before, right? Sort of. How often have you seen this shot in daylight? Exactly. Kasimir leaves a comment describing his technique for this 30 second day time capture:

"A welding glass, this makes the picture all green but when correcting the RAW file's white-balance the colours come back pretty good."

I'm always looking for some new and interesting technique, and this one definitely fits the bill. Love the creativity Kasimir! Thanks for sharing the shot, the idea, and the how-to. Thanks to everyone who's been submitting photos to the pool. It's fun to see the variation in submissions. Keep them coming!

I see no reason why it would be necessary just to be a part of a group when my current e-mail account is sufficent enough.
Guess I should start my own group. Then I could make my own rules. :)
