Challenge: 1 Meter wide shot with a coke + i/2 US Dollar bill! :)

[Klaus Esser]

Klaus

can you provide a stitch of the same test-scenario, generatet with your DSLR and a good lens?

@all: for further comparison, I suggest a additional shot with your DSLR and a 50 mm. This will allow to relate the test and giving it a higher value.

Thanks

Yeah, right Michael! Good idea!

Updated rules!

• Open, anyone can post "Target Shooting Images"
• Just do your best, if film or digital. Use your best lens scanner etc.
• The field should be one meter by one meter (for americans is 39.37007 inch if I am not mistaken)
• What I mean for this is that you place a ruler that measures one meter and cover this with the wide side of your format, or "constrained to one meter".
• Include at least one regular, non diet- standard Coca Cola can, one Left half of a stretched 1$ US note, the side with the ONE on it
• Use any lighting that you think will give you the best results, flash, sun, whatever.
• Process Raw in the best way you can
• We will post just the part of the can/dollar and posters will be the judge.
• The arbiter could be Asher or Stephen Eastwood, the moderator of the forum
• Post 800 pixels wide jpg as well as 800 pixel wide 100% cut outs
• keep the orignal RAW files our sharing.
• a reference shot of the same 1 meter wide setup with a 50mm lens

Good luck, everyone, let the games really begin

Well,

I got fed up with waiting. So far, this is the winner - phone camera....

I wanted to say say something about 'f8 and be there', but its not even f8, and certainly not there... nor a dollar bill.

Come on Leonardo, Klaus, et al, You know you can do better than this ;-)

This is 100% crop -

Best wishes,

Ray

Hi @all!

Sorry for the delay - today is my son´s 19th birthday and will be a big fete on wednesday, so i´m a bit absorbed.
Last night i finished a 5-day-job so there was little time these days.

I´ll go on after wednesday - promised!

best, Klaus

I have to do my shot too, but summer is slow here and I was distracted doing old fashion work with enlarger and negative.

So, enjoy the suspense...

I can post an old image and a crop to 100% as an appetizer ...

I did't do anything to the image, only develop it in C1 with a bit of sharpening and then make it to .jpg

If film wins we all win
If digital wins we all win

Rule change: everyone fold the dollar to show as Leonardo's!!

Asher, I believe you said that the Dollar had to be presented like that so that no one thinks is the real Dollar !

So what do you think, do I bit Ray West??

 

[Asher Kelman]

You did perfectly Leonardo!

I just thought we were going to have the side with the pyramid, that's all. As long as we have the same view, that's fine. We just don't want a whole dollar bill taken perfectly! That is a "no-no"!

Hey Leonardo!

your pic is fake! the coke can is open…

Wew, good piqué!

Hey Leonardo!

Wew, good piqué!

Nicolas, I must confess, I consumed the Coke. Yesterday, like today, New York is hhhhot, and humid so a cold soda came just on time, the only problem is that I don't really like CocaCola, next time, can we shoot a bottle of cranberry juice? or how about red wine in the fall?

 

[nicolas claris]

or even some good white and fresh (but not frozen by hell!) Burgundy, or maybe a Graves or even some Côtes du Rhône?

 

[leonardobarreto.com]

Or really chilled Ichibanchibory Kirin japanese beer with and edamame soy beans...

 

[Cem_Usakligil]

Moderation! Too much sneaky product placements here. The thread started to look like a Bond movie <LOL>

Cheers,

 

[leonardobarreto.com]

Cem, I would have to make a disclamer then:

DISCLAMER The poster here has not received 2, 6-packs of beer for placing the brand on such trafficked forum so to make readers unstoppably thirsty for cold, cold, beer and japanese edamame in the midsts of a global warming hot humid summer day"...






just kidding

 

[Ray West]

The suggestion of the coke can, was because such items are ubiquitous, and probably the colour, material, reflectivity of the item is standardised throughout the world - a bit like the Mcdonald's fries. There was also a similar reason that I suggested a lawn as the background.

Anyway, Leonardo, I already said that I was crap at uploading images to the web, I think your image is better because your jpeg conversion is better. Nothing to do with the camera or photographer ;-)

Best wishes,

Ray
