Photo Challenge Rejects!

[chrispenycate]

For a mole, every day is Earth Day.

There was no way I could get it juxtaposed against a mountain, though.

I like the fungi ones!

Few rejects from this month:

Now I get it! I actually thought that this was a beautifully blown-glass lamp!

I really love your entry this month, Hoopy. Great idea.

---------------------------

And here's mine:

And a different angle on the theme; nice lighting:

I swear I took this before I saw Hoopy's stairs! Possibly before she posted, IIRC.

I really wanted to lie on the stairs and put my arm over the second-top step, so it'd look like I was hugging the pillar.... But I didn't have my tripod on me that day, so I couldn't set up a timed shot.

 

[Hilarious Joke]

That house doesn't look structurally sound!

Here are ones I really wanted to post but figured were too similar to Seph's:

My fav, cos it shows the immense size of the field:

And some alternates to my entry:

And a final rejected image, since everyone seemed to do statues:

And one I didn't like:

 

[Culhwch]

Nice photos, Leish. Liking the one of the statue - dare I say it, but that sky might look very dramatic in black and white...?

I'm thinking after this month we should adopt the rule that has evolved in the writing challenge, and not post our 'rejects' until after the close of voting. What does everyone think?

 

[The Ace]

Exactly, Cul, with a red filter.

I'm thinking after this month we should adopt the rule that has evolved in the writing challenge, and not post our 'rejects' until after the close of voting. What does everyone think?

I think that probably makes a lot of sense Cul. Also we don't really have a thread like the discussion thread in the writing challenge. I think it might be interesting to have a bit of discussion/critique of the photos. I feel helpful comments, like your suggestion about going monochrome (if, I gather, a little predictable from you**), would be interesting and we can always learn from other peoples observations and reactions to our images.

**you may start noticing that I might just be even more of a monochrome enthusiast than yourself . It is only recently that I have been dragged kicking and screaming out of my pure mono chemical lab into the world of digital photography. Still got all the kit and just can't bring myself to get rid of it!

 

[Erin99]

Wow! This thread hasn't been used in a while. I shall dust it off and bring it back to life.

(Most of these were more associated with "Scotland" rather than "Dundee", so I rejected them, although I would have happily used them had I not got Dundee pictures.)

 

[Foxbat]

What bridge is that Leisha? I love the fogbank around it

Edit: Oops! Should have checked your challenge submission first. I'm presuming it's the Tay Bridge.

 

[Wybren]

Loopy Kit I love your rejects!

 

[Erin99]

Hello, Wy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just had my folks up for a week, so we went out around Scotland with them! (I will reply to your mail today now I have time, don't worry.)


Foxbat, yes, that's the road bridge. I couldn't get a nice one of the rail bridge, except a misty grab shot from the car window as we drove up the road bridge. When the mist comes up the estuary, it's sooo magical.

LOL! Just had to edit my post! I'd written "as we drove up the rail bridge".
